strategic approaches and foreign policy approaches in relation to the people's republic of china in our instituteeld discussions with chinese experts and so far in their discussion, their statements, let's say so, do not have any inducers that china will be ready to provide some assistance to the russian federation, meaning assistance of a military military nature of a military-technical nature. but at the same time, china and not will not take any steps that would destroy relations with the russian federation, he will support it at the diplomatic level, and the united nations organization can see this very clearly on other international platforms, china will support russia economically, provide the opportunity to trade in its market even under favorable conditions for china, there is nothing wrong with the russian federation, such conditions are still acceptable because it needs income for its economy, and the chinese market in this regard is very what is important is that the people's republic of china declares at the official level of the ministry of foreign affairs that it does not see drone

well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a senior fellow at the washington based institute for china, america studies. it's a group that it's a very rare treat for me to speak to anyone who is based in washington. so i'm very grateful for your time and i'm looking forward to an honest and an elliptical rather than propaganda driven conversation. thank you for the invitation, miss michael. i'm looking forward to the conclusion to now that you wrote not so long ago. that's why the man who attend live joseph stalin, back in the late 1940 s, miscalculated in applying, quote, unquote brute force to its neighbors. and i'm sure it's a tantalizing and very gratifying comparison to force some of your readers. but what makes you believe that russia as a stay in its current form, is led by the same expansion is self aggrandizing ideological aspirations as the soviet union was after the 2nd world war. absolutely, thank it. absolutely is not. russia is a defensive country and a defensive force and is just looking to secure its voters. it is absolutely not the country that the soviet union was. and

china. in each case, the plots fail because the men and women of the department of justice defended our institutions and thwarted the threats posed by agents of the prc. i want to thank the agents and prosecutors in all of these cases for their tireless work on behalf of the american people. now i will turn the podium over to fbi director ray. >> thank you. first, let me begin by pointing out that 10 of the 13 charged individuals are chinese intelligence officers and chinese government officials. they are charged in three different cases that may seem to be about unrelated issues. as they work to undermine u.s. economic security and fundamental human rights, including those of americans. we also see a coordinated effort across the chinese government to lie, cheat and steal their way into unfairly dominating technology sectors, putting u.s. companies out of business. there economic assault and the rights violations are part of the same problem. they both flout the rule of law. it is to make it easier to steal our innovation. they tried to silence anybody who fights back against their theft. companies

i'm lisa, hudson institute and institute for defense studies in norway. i want to ask about china. would you argue that they are planning to get direct military presence in the arctic? or do they rather work with russia sharing, providing them with digital competences and getting them financed so that they have more than in direct role in strengthening russia's presence and creating strategic dilemmas through russia? second, do you think is a need for nato's strategy on the arctic? or is nato fine working in the arctic question -- without a strategy? >> you should never work without a strategy. [laughter] >> i've done that. it is poorly. ambassador hutchison, we were trying to convince nato that it had an important role in addition to its traditional role. europe is impacting nato. all kinds of different tools, and to goldenberg's credit, he begun to important ways so i applaud him for that. i'm not sure where his focus is today, but i'm sure he has not forgotten strategic challenge. the first question is how will china and russia approach this? i don't think there's any chance tha

but russia and china is growing vonda under the leadership institute. and then she does appear to have one water ties elements on joint opposition to a us lead global order. beijing under, she didn't, paying, has seen pertinent as allied in their common resentment of the united states and the u. s. global leadership, as, as a superpower. and what they see as interference in their domestic internal affairs, criticism of their political systems, pressure to change their economies address, human rights, et cetera. and so that alignment is probably gone further than most expected. china may wants the united states to stay out of business. but the reality is, the 2 countries economies are deeply entangled. despite the tensions of recent years, which saw the countries flat tariffs on each other goods, china and the us remain each other, the biggest individual trading partners. us trade with china has grown to magically in recent decades. but as you can see here, it's an on even relationship with the united states importing far more from china than it exports

over the same time period, while the japanese embassy and camber donated $70000.00 to the institute. meanwhile, china has previously said that it respects the national sovereignty of the solomon islands and that cooperation is based on its needs. we heard from tim anderson, director of the center for counter hedge, a monic studies from city that says the us military funded institute simply amplifies abuse of washington. the thing about i s t i is that it is not even reveal in the media here in australia that they have funded by the starting military and by the u. s. military and my weapons manufacturers. and i also have tied journalists in the, in these treasures like media. and also the people that does hide journalists interview are also often paid by sources linked to the u. s. military. so there's unfortunately a very strong loop in, it's just a straight propaganda channel for the u. s. military saying what the u. s. military wants. unfortunately, he has started on media is so badly compromised and doesn't recognize the conflicts of interest that people are being filled by. i mean the, the i, b,
