and he said no there is no difference between the communist party of china and the people. that is a huge lie. 1.4 billion people are enslaved under this system. there are as many as 93 million communist party's. for the most part, the people of china do not want that system. they taste a little bit of prosperity mainly in the mainland cities. they tasted a little bit of freedom and many of them traveled to the united states and so i really felt i wanted to dedicated to freeindedicate thee chinese people from the communist party of china. >> at the beginning of the book, you go into how we got it wrong. in particular, you site back in 1999 dot the defense intelligence agency issued a report, and basically that report minimized that china was a threat. but then you juxtapose that with some 20 years later you basically indicate that the army lieutenant general robert ashley had in fact indicated that communist ideology has not changed at all as a motivating force for china's ruler, and basically the report that was issued then really documented how and why china is a threat. i

i am not a member of the communist party of china. r the record, a chinese citizen is not entitled to voice scene opinion unless you are a member of the communist party. the director of alibaba unless he's a member of the communist party. i guess in an effort to be first or be called journalists, they are less concerned with getting the story right and more concerned their tweets are retweeted. so we get a messed up interpretation of reality sometimes. don't we. >> explosive. >> explosive. >> truly remarkable. >> bombshell. >> bombshell. >> riveting. >> the bombshell that wasn't. adam schiff is already back away from his schiff show. not uncertain he wants to move forward with impeachment. impeachment won't happen. if it doesn't, good. the truth will come out at trail in the senate. i care deeply about the health of our country. i have voted for both parties over the years. i points that out just to mention how and why i look at everything through an economic lens. i like to have debates. right now there is no room for debates. the lef

my response is the communist party of china is not an ethnicity. re is anyone with verifiable ties with the government of the china'. trish: the university says it's tougher saying you want people from all sort of world. you will have more intellectual diversity. a state university where u.s. taxpayers are subsidizing or any university getting federal funding. that money should be going to secure the education of americans first and foremost. but when it comes to the government stuff. this is bizarre to me. it is, steven. people are not looking twice at this. this might be a security risk. it might not be the best idea to have chinese nationals whose loyal is one would think would be more ablind china's than us in these sensitive positions. given this report and the bipartisanship which is important. if some of it going to change? >> i think it is. i think the images americans and others have seen out of hong kong. the things they have seen with the florida manipulation of the' nba and technology disputes. they seem' to be the true nature of china.

china that would be a step too far. your reaction to this. >> i'm troubled by the idea of this. i don't consider communist partyo be a normal place, i'm not an advocate for over recessio--regulation, but we hae sensible about security. not for our interest. so i think time, meeting legal for going to tol google for goot it is doing, it probably should not be. that is when the people on capitol hill should get out of the impeachment craze and deal with problems like this. elizabeth: selling analysis on accumulation of data, steven thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. elizabeth: next up, we take on senator warren, claiming she will not raise middle class taxes to pay for her government take over of the health care, we have how warren will seize the government revenues from federal, state and local taxes paid, take away healthcare as it exists now, from teachers, firemen, cops and soldiers and put everyone in washington dc central. >> washington's democrats, and their radical agenda of socialism would demolish our economy. as long as i am president, america will never be a socialist country. fun fact: 1 in 4

of market access. but for years, this growing commercial relationship with china has concealed another inconvenient truth, our producers and our workers are increasingly at the mercy of the chinese communist party. china is building its own military and economic power on the backs of our working-class. this reality has been right in front of us for those who have cared to look. over 3 million manufacturing jobs left our shores in the first dozen years of this century due to china. devastating families and gutting communities in places far from this town. our workers known for years with the city is only just beginning to discover -- that the beijing regime will first take from you and then replace you the second it gets a chance. china's drive for read your hegemony is a clear and present danger. at every juncture china has grown strength, so has its government's willingness to weaponize and leverage and project its power. china has been for domination and it is a security threat, the greatest to this country. foreign policy around the globe must be oriented to this challenge and focused principally on this threat our efforts to counter jihad is him jihad -- jihadism and others are essential an

the one country, two systems is a huge embarrassment to the communist party of china.five times that of the mainland. hong kong draws all manner of p capital and talent that would otherwise be available to mainland china. this is difficult for all of the bureaucracy, the state-owned enterprises and bureaucracies inside of the chinese communist apparat, make its politically difficult and awkward for president xi. he's under considerably pressure to bring hong kong out of the one country, two systems. at the same time, they don't want a big political disaster of chinese troops, another tiananmen square, if you will. the key to understanding this is economics and the power struggles inside of china. eric: we saw that horrific video of a protesters being shot basically point blank by a police officer, a 21-year-old student tragically died. he fell during one of the protests. i mean, do you think this sadly could get worse and do you think it potentially could lead to a tiananmen square moment, unless beijing backs off? >> it could very well lead to another tiananmen square

so i mean i think if you think of what to what happened in china of course it's it's a communist party in china but what's happened is a completely different kind of evolution than the evolution of the soviet union and an adoption since the early 1980 s. of market principles. and so the really the creation of a tremendous dynamism that comes from the. liberation of people in the economic sphere so there's a lot of economic freedom obviously on the political side there's a one party state but in it in terms of economic dynamism that's where it comes from it doesn't come from old style central planning and in the soviet model ok well let me go to john here and i kind of want to address what jeff had to say here because if they take it you could just get very quick just get here very quickly can i just get it very quickly peter one quick point one quick point yes what i'm trying to get away from here is just kind of what i can essentially kind of feel of history what happened was a matter of contingency more than me so all kinds of different outcomes are possible and we can see that not b

intellectual property theft and we've continue to see them operating in the way that the communist party of chinau actually look at the vice president's remarks, he went through this very carefully with the president we highlighted all of those abuses, but the vice president very clearly said, for those of you who think we're trying to decouple from china, absolutely not. we're looking to negotiate with china. we're looking to work with china. but it means we also have a realistic view of what the future holds and it's not a naive notion that if you just allow more trade and you allow them in the world trade organization, that all of a sudden china will change we haven't seen that in 25 years. and instead, they've become a greater national security threat to the united states and this administration has very clear idea on that >> i guess, then, my question mark is whether this is a strategic decision by the vice president and the president to play kind of good cop/bad cop, because that speech you mentioned on october 24 by the vice president was very, very tough on china it led to a very fierce r

degree of market access, but for years this relationship with china has concealed another inconvenient truth, our producers and our workers are increasingly at the mercy of the chinese communist party. china is building its own military and economic power on the back of our working class. this reality has been right in front of us, for those that i've care to look. over 3 million manufacturing jobs left our shores in the first dozen years of the century, due to china. devastating families and getting communities. our workers have known for years what this city is only beginning to discover, that the beijing regime will first take from you and then replace to the second it gets the chance. china's drive for regional hegemony is a clear and present danger. at every juncture that china has grown and strength, those that have shown the willingness to weaponize and protect its power, to china's before domination it's the greatest security threat this country and this century. our foreign policy around the globe must be oriented to this challenge, and focus principally on this. our references, to curb rogue regimes and to protect valued partners like israel, these priorities are essentia

heard vice president a couple weeks ago an important speech lay out a lot of concerns the communist party of chinang twice move forward with them in constructive pathway a lot of kerns this administration suppressed about china's affront on human rightlies abuses as well as where it is on national security perspective threat that. >> president trump vice president pence completely changed the conversation on this we had a survivor of tiananmen square on the set earlier, rose tang said there are make thatted bodies floating in the river that there are mysterious he disappearances of people she went on to say that -- you know, this -- uighurs are in concentration camped do human abuses come into conversation as leadership of the country president trump, vice president pence are trying to do a trade deal, with china? does this matter that the fact that you've got almost two million muslims in concentration camping because they are not allowed to be muslim they want to follow chinese leadership wants them to be chinese? >> absolutely, maria. i think that become part of the conversation again vice pres

one is the unity of interests and control between the communist party in china and some of these equipment providers. in particular laws in china that require them from a surveillance and other perspective to potentially do their bidding and not disclose that to the u.s. we seen in other contexts as well from companies that ultimately are owned and controlled by the people public of china and there's an instance where a call from los angeles directed to washington dc was rerouted by a company owned by china through [inaudible], china. this had to do with the china mobile proceedings few are looking at. the la to dc is not the most direct route of moving that traffic. there's a lot of concern about what happened when companies ultimately owned and controlled by the people's republic of china have equipment in our networks. that is why you don't see this equipment in the core of major telecom providers today but some of these same concerns are proceedings that are looking at the smaller role providers that nonetheless have a disagreement in their. >> go ahead, david. >> [inaudible] you menti

they did it in africa just remember, the individual that built huawei is part of communist china, part of the communist party obligated now by law in china, every company's obligated to provide whatever information the chinese government wants so absolutely they're going to use it and why would you put yourself in position if they haven't done it yet but they've clearly done it in africa already >> these protests, i don't know, we've got to go, senator it seems like the protesters are going to keep pushing this i mean, arrows -- >> i hope so. >> really? but arrows -- if you go to arrows, they're almost daring the police to -- >> yeah, but i agree they shouldn't be doing it unpeacefully but let's remember, they were -- peaceful protests were outlawed. this is caused by president xi saying you cannot have a peaceful protest so he's caused this. i don't want any protest not to be peaceful. who doesn't? >> senator, thanks we've got to run appreciate it. thank you. >>> coming up when we return, john legere isn't considering the wework ceo job but who is? when we head to break, let's get a check on the markets gre

one is the unity of interest in control to in the communist party in china and some of these equipment providers, in particular loss in china that required them for surveillance and other perspective of potentially do their bidding and not disclose it to the u.s. we've seen in other contexts from companies that are owned and controlled by the people's republic of china. there's an instance where a call from los angeles directed to washington, d.c. was rerouted by a company owned by china, and this had to do with the china open proceeding we're looking at. it's not the most direct route of moving that traffic so there's lots of concern about what happens when companies ultimately owned and controlled by the people's republic of china have equipment in our networks. that's why you don't see a lot of segue in the court of major telecom providers today, some of the same concerns are proceeding as some of the smaller rural providers that nonetheless have had this equipment. >> it's worth noting the chinese company flatly deny there's any sort of threat here. you mention the rural providers.

i mean, hong kong is really the economic lung in many ways of the chinese communist party, of mainland china and so what this bill does, it says look, you can't just steamroll hong kong, violate your treaty obligations, and expect us to look the other way. because here's the bottom line we know beijing wants to dominate hong kong ultimately, to dominate the entire asia-pacific, and to shut us out of it we cannot have that and this bill is about us standing up. >> the protestors have used the stars and stripes as sort of a rallying cry they sing the star spangled banner is this a message to the protestors that the u.s. stands behind them in their fight for a democratic hong kong or is it something short of that >> no, i think it -- it certainly is a message to them that the world is watching and that the free world is with them and listen, it's very important. the protestors are not asking for anything new from beijing. they're just asking for beijing to honor the treaty commitments made decades ago they're asking for the basic liberties that beijing has already promised them. this isn't a se

president, mike pence, is a long—standing critic of china, and is now critical of us companies he says are kowtowing to china. in siding with the chinese communist partyidiary of the authoritarian regime. for some, though, the main problem isn't so much china's influence over the us, but other parts of the world. what you see today is not only china perfecting technologies for surveillance and censorship at home, but increasingly exporting these technologies as well as finance and know—how abroad. so, example, you see china working in east africa with governments, or the indo—pacific as well. so this kind of issue of what might be called high—tech liberalism or high—tech authoritarianism is one, that i think will become more and more central as we talk about china in the future. for some, the right approach — the only approach — to these difficult questions is decoupling, severing economic ties with china. how do we get companies like apple to actually not censor speech because they are incentivised by the chinese communist party to do so? we have to limit their ability to have access to the chinese market, if that's the key influencer. you have to li

communist authoritarian party state and, unfortunately, the parties values and interests dictate how china operates in the international system. will the chinese communist party directs china's economy. chinese leaders assert the primacy of state-owned enterprises and party officials are increasingly involved in the commercial decisions. governments, businesses, civil societies have been slow to recognize how connected chinese companies are to the chinese communist party and government. china hides the true role of its companies. china's intellectual property theft and cyber espionage give washington a wake-up call and revealed the resources the chinese government uses to advance economic goals. in my home state of idaho, micron technologies, the world's second largest memory chip maker had its chip technology stolen by a chinese state-owned company. this happened after government officials -- chinese government officials made acquiring that chip technology a national priority. that chinese company patented the stolen technology and suit micron technology patent infringement and chinese courts. such thefts are a common chinese practice. european comp trees have suffered similar experiences. china's overreaching foreign p

of china. those organs have apsley no mercy the protesters are not the problem it is beijing and hong kong leadership the communist party must know it will hurt in the 21st century version of tiananmen square united states where not forget neither would china's ortrading partners so what can the united states do cracks in september with the state of foreign operations appropriations bill of the 1992 hong kong policy act wwhich by the way was my bill back in 1982. and with that autonomy of hongng kong. and with that appropriations process. and through new legislation. and then to be keenly interested ine decades. and then to move this important bill. in the united states is not need to wait for new laws. and would strongly encourage them and to hear those clear statements in recent months. and for what it is with the eclarity that others have lacked those with hong kong himself. and with these brave men and women in the old consensus was the modernization of china reautomatically import our values and into their society. but simply this has not happened. i and the further integration and to expand china's reach beyond th

party officials are increasingly involved in the commercial decisions of thinly disguised private companies. governments, businesses and civil societies have been slow to recognize how connected chinese companies are to the chinese communist party and government. china hides the true role of its companies. china's intellectual property thoft and cyberespionage gave washington a wakeup call and revealed the resources the chinese governments uses to advance its economic goals. np my home state of idaho micron technology had its intellectual property stolen. the chinese government officials made acquiring that chip technology a national priority. the chinese company patented the stolen company and sued micron for patent infringement in chinese courts. such theft are common practice in china. european countries like asml in the netherlands have suffered is similar experiences. china's overreaching goal is to take what it bleaches is its rightful place at the center of the international by 2050 and to ensure the international system functions according to china values, principles and object he was. to accomplish that china is trying to displays the united states as the preeminent power in the indo-pacific. china also wants to exert deep influence in ever
