americans even took an exaggerated view of chinese influence. i argue the fact that they took this exaggerated view does not -- did not make the competition less important. i think it was actually this perception that influenced a american policies, and led to very expensive and some -- american commitments to trying to block chinese influence in the third world. in the book, i look at several different kinds of competition between the united states and china. first -- i will summarize them briefly. in the book itself -- if you really want this in detail, you you have to buy it. what were these forms of competition? one, diplomatic china was a new state in 1949 -- it was the first inaugurated of course in 1949. for a new state like china, just achieving basic diplomatic relations with other countries was important. -- china tries to just establish basic relations with afro-asian states. the united states does everything it can to prevent it from doing so. cultivate aried to positive impression of itself at major international conferences. these i

it was so rare in those days to have an american that spoke chinese. i was fascinated by the work they were doing. and i decided to stay and act as an english—language person for their radio programme. it was an atmosphere... of great determination. i would say even of great pride and joy to be there, to be part of that movement, which people felt was building a new china. there was one american movie every week. i used to go interpret. and mao's favourite films by far where laurel and hardy, but they loved that. he laughs when mao laughed, he laughed like a baby laughs. like every muscle in his face was laughing. from brow to chin. i would go to the party headquarters and play chinese gin rummy cards. they would all tease each other and cuff each other around and be very warm, but not with mao. he would sit there and nobody would tease him or cuff him around. i never felt that he was a friend. maybe i felt that because i could argue with him on occasion. chairman mao always had a ruthless streak. i think chairman mao never intended that people should

but fortunately six couples, four of them chinese-americans, and two, the greshams, this is joe and hisife clara gresham, who lived across the street from hakone, and their son elden and his wife deon, they became friends with these chinese couples because of dining at ming's restaurant. and they met the owner, dan lee, who called in his partners, johnny kan, the famous restaurant owner in san francisco, and two soy sauce manufacturers, john c. young, my father, and my uncle george hall. and they all bonded over hakone. and so, they bought it and used it as a retreat. and then, after 5 years of ownership and saving the gardens. and then the story was that chinese food saved hakone gardens, which, you know, such an unlikely partnership, but they loved hakone and wanted to keep its authenticity. robert: and we're going to talk a little bit more about that in the next segment, on the history of it. but give us an idea in terms of what you want people to know about the centennial celebration. shozo: well, the centennial celebration this year is our finale after 3 years of centennial celebra

what i think we need in the west is that, given guam is what the russians and chinese what the americanse done with a handy local dictator to put some pressure on the chinese and russians and say, we have got someone to do our bidding. they want to reduce american power and see americans squirm. sadly, we got rid of all the dictators around the world. we have nobody to rely on. believe it or not, dictators to serve a purpose. iam on. believe it or not, dictators to serve a purpose. i am not longing for the good old days of dictatorships, it would have been really handy right now when the russians and the chinese have got their little bit caters on puppet strings. if donald trump talks to kimjong—un, that strings. if donald trump talks to kim jong—un, that would be strings. if donald trump talks to kimjong—un, that would be hugely... donald trump will tweet, and kim jong—un will keep on firing missiles. the north koreans want money, look at how many billions the americans have been channelling to bribe north korea not to set off their nuclear weapons... the chinese and the russians want a

it was not till the mid-20th country that you see concerted numbers of chinese americans moving into tacoma again and that was because of the legal system. the exclusion act was held into place until world war ii. that is what you do not see a chinese community and that is why there was very little in terms of remembrance of the events up until the 1990's. it was a century without any public acknowledgment from the city that this happened. the plans to build chinese reconciliation part were announced in the 1990's through a series of agreements which included a formal apology by the city, the city council for the expulsion. the park wrote ground in 2005 and the first phase was completed in 2010. there are two more phases that are yet to be built that when visitors come to the park what they see is it overlooks this youthful part of tacoma which is commencement bay. you are walking through this walkway and a bridge that leads to this chinese pavilion, the centerpiece of the part. that was constructed in china in one of our sister cities and put together here. that is what visitors can

american position. this is what the chinese said in the same meeting.tion on the peninsular is deteriorating constantly, as we speak, falling into a vicious circle. the peninsular issue must be resolved peacefully. china will never allow chaos and war on the peninsula. the parties concerned must strengthen their sense of c , must strengthen their sense of urgency, take due responsibilities, play theirjewel urgency, take due responsibilities, play their jewel rolls, urgency, take due responsibilities, play theirjewel rolls, take practical measures, make joint efforts together to ease the situation, restart the dialogue and talks, and prevent further deterioration of the situation on the peninsula. so china is being explicit, saying it will not allow war on the peninsula, do we go back 24 war on the peninsula, do we go back 2a hours president trump was saying he will be meeting his generals and other leaders to discuss north korea. thank you, says the president. that is the chinese on the americans. this is part of the south korean response. they have bee

a hotheaded debate between the chinese and the americans.ricans and demanding, clearly, that we need to do something about north korea. and saying that china is not doing enough. china are doing well, yes, you have a point but and the but is that we cannot totally have a total embargo on north korea because then we have a failed state on our borders. this isjust a densely too populated region. just look at south korea. very densely populated. china, densely populated as is japan. it is too dangerous to have a failed state on their borders. donald trump is also starting to modulate a little bit. overnight we saw him coming out and saying that war would be the last resort, it is no longerfire war would be the last resort, it is no longer fire and fury. does it feel like all sides are just stepping back from that heated rhetoric but trying to get some sort of diplomatic solution?” rhetoric but trying to get some sort of diplomatic solution? i think so. the only people who were heated words kim jong—un and donald the only people who were heated

it's the p five plus one everybody agreed not just the brits and the french the russians the chinese the americans if we pull out of this it's the entire world will be looking at the united states i agree that there are limitations and problems in fact you could expand upon this and it needs to be but to walk away from this deal in itself would be a huge error at this point we're on has many components of power including its nuclear industry missile power and regional prisons and military clout and influence in the region what they mean in washington is to wear off these components of power once they do so iran would be a very easy target like iraq at the time of saddam hussein and that would mean. fundamental violation of the nuclear deal and iranian officials including the rayney and supremely there are they have all warned that iran would give them a very tough response when we back off this short break stay with us. when else should seem wrong. just don't. get to see. this day come at it. and if. it was betrayed. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common grou
