we had anthony blinken speaking for about one hour with wang yi before he flew to riyadh.linken is heading to the middle east to shore up arab support for israel at this time of crisis, obviously, in gaza. blinken is doing that on the diplomatic front. but also this weekend, we had josep borrell, europe's top diplomat here in beijing. he had face-to-face and meetings with wang yi, china's foreign minister and top diplomat. we talked to joseph morelle on friday, and he was less, total -- josep borrell, was less committal while on chinese soil about condemning china or not condemning china for not condemning the hamas attack in gaza. he was more muted in his criticism while here in china. but he says he and wang yi agreed that the long-term solution in gaza is a two state solution and palestine. but the immediate crisis is happening, unfolding right now. that the a two-state solution will not be the resolution to resolve the immediate crisis. this is what he had to say. >> we are facing a critical moment in gaza. and we cannot say that the problem in gaza will be solved by t

wang yi noted that china supports the restoration of the legitimate rights of the palestinian nation. the white house made a budget request to the us congress regarding financing of additional expenses for assistance to ukraine and israel. it is about the amount of about 105 billion dollars. the ambassador of ukraine to the usa, oksana markarova, explained that more than 61 billion is provided specifically for ukraine. of these, more than 46 billion dollars are defense costs, and another 11 billion are direct budget support for the ukrainian government. markarova noted that the us house of representatives will consider this proposal only after the election of a new speaker. today in ukraine. there are 8,500 churches that are subordinate to the moscow patriarchate, these are tens of thousands of centers of russian propaganda that are still active in the warring state, one of them is the shrine of the donetsk region , st. the monastery's fathers were repeatedly caught collaborating with the russian occupiers, and the sbu raids there almost every month. nevertheless, the front-line svyat

what did wang yi say at the meeting with blinkin? united states must engage in dialogue. the dialogue should not only be renewed, but also deepened and comprehensive, so that through dialogue we can improve understanding, reduce misunderstandings and misjudgments, constantly strive to expand points of contact and continue mutually beneficial cooperation, so that we can stabilize china's influence and the united states and return to a path of healthy, stable and sustainable development. you can often hear harsh statements about sino-american relations, but china treated them calmly, because we believe that the rightness or wrongness of the actions of an individual party is determined not by who has a stronger hand or a louder voice, but by whether the country behaves in accordance with the provisions of the three joint sino-american communiques, international law, the basic norms of international relations and trends of time. mr. volodymyr, will there be a place in these negotiations, which have actually already been started by van ye

staying with news in the us, where china's top diplomat wang yi is set to visit on thursday. state secretary antony blinken and the us national security adviserjake sullivan. his trip is set against the war in the middle east, but the may also set the stage for a meeting next month between presidents xi jinping and joe biden. earlier, i spoke to rorry daniels from the asia society policy institute think—tank, and she told me there're a few things china could want from the us on this visit. i think what china is asking forfrom the united i think what china is asking for from the united states has a lot of different aspects to it. ithink, you know, in many ways when china is asking from the united states has to do with economic restrictions that the us has put on china's high—tech industry in particular, but i think also china would like to see the us speak about china and talk about china on the global stage in ways that comport more closely with how china sees its own image. it sees itself as a leader of developing countries commit wants to have respect in that status, anythi

. >> yeah, michael, that line from chinese foreign minister wang yi has gotten quite a bitf attention because some perceive it as beijing's hardened stance toward israel as the gaza humanitarian crisis worsens. but of course in these official statements sometimes what's not being said is equally important if not more important than what's being said. the one word that's been missing in all of china's statements so far, of course, is the word hamas. even in the initial response to the heinous acts launched by hamas on october 7th the chinese statement barely mentioned the israeli casualties. and the same thing in the coverage in the tightly controlled state media on day one, the state broadcaster cctv's flagship newscast barely mentioned any israeli suffering, instead focused on palestinian suffering after the israelis' counterattack. all of that of course did not go unnoticed by israel and its allies. chuck schumer, the u.s. senate majority leader, was actually visiting china last week when all of this happened with a bipartisan delegation. he told us he made a point of raising this i

. >> chinese foreign minister wang yi said the right to defense should line up with international lawld the prime minister that statehood has long been on hold. >> joining us now from the chinese capital. we're seeing this narrative emerge, aren't we, a similar sort of language as we heard from the egyptians, in fact? >> yeah, max, you know, wang yi said about israel, what you just mentioned has gotten quite a bit of attention because some view it as a more hardens stance by beijing as the humanitarian crisis in gaza worsens. you know, in these statements, what's not being said is equally as important as what's being said, if not more so. one thing that's missing in all of china's pronouncement is the word "hamas." they have not maimed hamas in any condemnations. that's something reflected in the media coverage of the story, very much focused on the palestinians suffering after the israeli counterattacks, while barely mentioning israeli casual this after that launch on october 7th. that, of course, has not gone unnoticed by israel and its allies including the united states. of course,

bill: chinese foreign minister wang yi said israel has a right to defend itself, he said that in a callith his israeli counterpart. but he reiterated beijing's concern that any response follow international humanitarian law, and that israel makes sure it protects civilians. those comments from just ahead of what we expect to be wang yi's visits to the united states later this week where he will likely meet with secretary of state antony blinken and other top u.s. officials to discuss the ongoing conflict in the middle east, and likely the continuing conflict in ukraine as well. david: yes, he will be in washington october 26-28. we will be all over that story, of course. thank you so much, bill faries in singapore. let's stay clean here, -- stay on theme, the virgin atlantic ceo says that israel-hamas war is affecting travel across oceans of the middle east. some. work forced to suspend services to tel aviv. >> after the atrocities of the number seven, the situation is still unpredictable. right now the major impact has been people are not flying into israel and they are also not flying

wang yi reiterated china's position that it opposes any actions causing harm to the civilian populationthat violate international law, follows from a statement by beijing's foreign ministry. according to the statement, the ministry called on the us to take the lead and play a constructive role in promoting political solutions. he welcomed the recent improvement in china-us relations and called on the biden administration to respect china's core interests and core concerns. vladimirovich, you mentioned that the stars of david are being painted in munich, yes, it is very significant that literally the day before, one of these days, there will be a centenary of the beer hall putsch. there in munich, the parallels suggest themselves, while this witch hunt from the other side, it is now sweeping the west, somewhere there they are persecuting those who speak out in support of palestine, well, what has it come to, in france there are even rallies pro-palestinian ones were banned; in britain, home secretary braverman demanded that people be arrested for holding palestinian flags, to which, in g

about this, well , russia and a number of other countries are saying this, but what is interesting , wang yir chief diplomat, he emphasized that he spoke with the brazilian representative, now brazil... this month she manages the un security council as a non-permanent member and called for such a peace conference to be convened regarding the israeli -palestinian issue, to calm this conflict, to resolve humanitarian issues, that is, we have not seen such a proposal regarding ukraine, we are practically begging china for an audience , so in this case, that is, we look at the interests, we look at where he is, who he is with, where his neutrality is on which side, well, uh, here is the difference between, between the reaction, which, why he entered the game, exactly in israel and palestine, well, china entered this game a little earlier, because we are now, when you talked about the middle east, about these interests, the middle east is an area where they fight for their interests, today china, which is gradually trying to penetrate into those spheres where the united states occupied, perhaps d

wang yi spoke a lot.ybody, we need to join prorated efforts -- coordinated efforts to make this happen. this is the responsibility of the international community. rishaad: good this restart a peace process and the fact that the palestinians are not speaking with one clear voice is one issue. the other issue is how do you get out of the cycle where violence begets violence and you get into a situation where nobody is actually in any shape come away, or form a winner? fariz: there is no winner. i totally agree with what you are saying. there is no winner, and they are all losers. i think we need to come to this reality. of course if you are very powerful like israel is saying, the arrogance of power will mislead you to think you can dictate terms. more is not a joke. we cannot -- war is not a joke. we cannot predict the outcome. the modern army like israel has is a capacity fighting against a very handful of people who are struggling to defend themselves by any means. this is very unbalanced. yvonne: we tal

josep borrell, europe's top diplomat, he was in china and met personally with wang yi as well.ll has been a bit critical as well of china for its lack of statements condemning hamas for that attack in gaza, but also reaffirming that they would like to see more from china. the war in ukraine, essentially criticizing china for not condemning that ongoing war. this is what he had to say. >> russia represents a huge threat for our security. and that we are committed to support you facing the russian invasion. and asking china to take into consideration these very tough -- this very tough position from our side. considering russia as a security threat to the whole european union. haidi: that was over chief north asia correspondent stephen engle there with the latest. coming up, new zealand picking a center-right government to lead the nation through its mounting economic challenges post-covid. we will get a sense of what the new administration's priorities will be, and we are live here in washington -- in wellington, covering the aftermath of the weekend's vote. this is bloomberg. ♪

importantly what secretary blinken said add the united nation on tuesday is when he met with wang yi this week and the meetings will continue tomorrow morning, he wanted to push china to talk to him, to urge him to pressure iran not to widen the war between israel and hamas. china needs iranian oil essentially for its economy. and any wider cop flict that engages iran or potentially u.s. forces in a wider war between israel and hamas, would inevitably raise oil prices and essentially constrict iranian oil exports and certainly would affect china's economy. so it's very much in china's economic interest to pressure iran which has very close economic ties and military and diplomatic ties and not engage. so it is part of the full-court press secretary of state and the president is engaged in not to get involved because iran prefers to work through proxy. and hearing about the iranian revolutionary cause and very closely connected has the targets. now, a senior administration official told me tonight when asked how this can affect the diplomacy -- pardon my voice, kris -- but a senior ad

is looking to leverage with wang yi is china's influence with iran.bility, the sort of stability richard was talking about, to ensure that there isn't a wider regional conflict. beijing made no secret of its efforts to try to position itself as a global player, and xi jinping as a global statesman. this conflict, though, is already presenting some limits for china's neutrality. china has relations with israel, but it is traditionally backing the palestinians. while we're not going to see china take on a role like qatar, qatar having influence with hamas, in particular, wang yi seems to be carving out a role for china. he's had talks with the israelis and palestinians. he's talked with arab leaders in saudi arabia, talked with iran. the u.s. is looking at this as an opening to potentially coordinate with china on the middle east. the other important piece with these meetings, of course, is that wang yi is expected to lay the groundwork for the visit possibly next month with china's president xi jinping to the united states. that meeting with president

can you confirm that china's foreign minister wang yi is expected to visit washington this week? >> i don't have any announcement. but stay tuned. >> ok. and will the united states reconsider qatar's major non nato ally status if it fails to deliver on hostage negotiations? >> qatar has already been quite productive in helping with the release of two hostages. the secretary thanked them for that work. that work is ongoing as it pertains to the other hostages that remain. so we are quite appreciative of the work that they have done and work is ongoing. >> and how is the us and its partners ensuring that none of the aid to gaza falls in hamas' hands? >> again, the united nations is responsible for the delivery of humanitarian assistance to civilians inside gaza. once it transits over the rafah crossing into gaza, they have another number of mechanisms that they have set up to ensure that it does go to civilians, but they are watching very closely. we are watching very closely to see any signs of diversion to hamas. as the president has said publicly, if hamas does divert any of tha

wang yi will hold talks with secretary of state antony blinken and jake sullivan.ources say it biden and xi jinping could meet next month as the u.s. hosts an economic summit for asia-pacific nations. let's check in on how asian markets are faring because it has been a punishing site -- session. avril hong is in singapore for us. no relief following that of the day the u.s. yesterday. avril: ugly day translating into a relentless slide in the asia-pacific session. the regions benchmark is down by 1.5%. we are seeing a hovering near its weakest level since november last year. those declines are with the japanese and south korean stock benchmarks which are really steep and above the higher u.s. treasury yields. as you alluded to, u.s. tech earnings are turning out to be a negative rather than positive driver for stock markets in the region. so much so that that is all eclipsing any signs of optimism that we are seeing that the chip market is bottoming out. sk hynix reported earlier and it showed a slowing in the decline in revenues after similar reports. there were e

chinese foreign minister wang yi with meet with secretary of state antony blinken, as well as nationalip is expected to focus largely on discussing a possible meeting between presidents joe biden and xi jinping along the sidelines of a summit in san francisco next month. joining us now, white house reporter for "the washington post," tyler pager. tyler, good to see you. president biden and xi jinping have not met in person for nearly a year. they met on the sidelines of the g20 last november in bali, indonesia. tensions have really skyrocketed since then. but there has been an increase in diplomacy in recent weeks. how hopeful is the white house that the events of this week could lead to that summit happening in san francisco? >> yeah, good morning, jonathan. thanks for having me. i think that's exactly right. in conversation i've had with white house officials, they've been optimistic an in-person meeting between the two presidents is likely for next month in san francisco on the sidelines of the summit there. i think this is part of a pattern we're seeing of increased engagement betw

. >> reporter: wang yi careful not to endorse either side, but underneath condemning or mentioning hamastelling all countries have the right to self-defense, but also calling israel's actions in gaza beyond the scope of self-defense. chinese social media using the conflict to amplify the divides between china and the west. one using accusing -- millions of followers, where is israel when china needs its support? there are also anti-semitic posts gaining popularity. china's strict sensors allowing debates over external conflicts to play out. but posts on a spate of high profile oustings within china's leadership ring. defense minister only in march was fired without official explanation. he'd not been seen in public since late august. this post asking, why was li shangfu dismissed? this follows the ousting of two top generals within the pla rocket force, an elite unit that overseas china's arsenal of nuclear and ballistic missiles. >> this is an ongoing campaign to ensure absolute loyalty to the communist party and to xi jinping himself. >> reporter: all the unexplained turnover not a goo

. >> john: another quick question, wang yi, foreign minister of china is in d.c., meeting with sullivanblinken and yesterday the pentagon gave us video of a chinese fighter jet dangerously close to an american b-52 operating in international air space. what do you expect the talks with wang will do here in terms of whether or not there is a greater dialogue between the united states and china and also paving the way for potential meeting between biden and xi jinping. >> i don't see the point in this. i don't care what the chinese say, but care what they do and they have a history, they and the russians of dangerous sort of flying patterns that could result in a horrible collision with a u.s. plane and that would be awful. the administration seems determined to keep talking to them and determined perhaps to get into a climate deal and more important to them than the safety of our pilots. >> john: one point during the last administration, the president, donald trump was asked, have you spoken to xi jinping, and he said no, i don't want to, i'm not very happy with him. so, interesting to s
