january 6, 2021 when xi jinping's best day in office.nited states degrades its own democracy on the world stage for people all over to it as it undermines our ability to lead and the power of our example. what kind of example are we setting when former administrations take the side of dictators? what can of example are resetting your former boss, the likely presidential dominate of your party is promising to be a dictator? mr. pompeo, , you write regimesn moscow tehran pyongyang all owe their continued existence of chinese communist party. uams that prior to the invasion of screen picky descriptiveness quote very capable end quote and said you quote the enormous respect for him. also missing from your marks these regimes have an ally in donald trump. just this month donald trump praised kim jong-un's at about the natural for them to misquote a tough, smart guy. while in office he considered meeting with moderna and second-guess his own administrations recognition of venezuelan legitimate president. you reject its own intelligence agents

xi jinping has been studied a lot. maybe a contribution between the fact that to achieve rejuvenation you need a strong economy but you don't want to take any risk. you are ready to crush some of the private sector as well as you did with minority and -- on the protest, i think it was very difficult. the protest was very local. unrest -- most of all i think it is a systemic struggle. in beijing after a lockdown of such a scale it provoked a real difficulty. we ask if it was -- cities completely overwhelmed. the protests, they were of a limited scale. >> good answers from my two colleagues. it is hard to add something fresh and new to it. i follow from kevin's point. i think the question we have to keep asking ourselves is what is the legitimacy, what is the legacy? legitimacy, party and relations to its people. the legacy, that xi jinping would like to leave behind. the social compact of the past that has been successful for china is changing. the unbridled promise this generational way better than the previous generat

the legacy, that xi jinping would like to leave behind. the social compact of the past 40 years that has been successful for china is changing. the unbridled promise this generational way better than the previous generation in terms of jobs, standard of living and all that, i think they will continue to work hard at it but it is not a given. if you look at the great leaders in china, mao zedong, one of the greatest -- we what do we remember him for? he reunited the country. he got rid of the japanese. he set the prc onto a new direction. for xi jinping, i think we remember opening up. his success in building up shenzen. thinking there would be an extension of the lease of hong kong to the brits. gentlemen, very quickly, if you look at putin today, you attribute a lot of his success. so, for the presidency, what will it be? is it --? is it the bri? a different model of governance and modernization that he is hoping to share with the world? some of his grandiose plans that are underpinned by principles like the csf, the global development in

xi jinping's bit for the economy. xi jinping's big economic _ for the economy.ision - for the economy. xi jinping's big economic vision for - for the economy. xi jinping's big economic vision for the l big economic vision for the world has been that $1 trillion belt and road initiative. it's china investing all over the world in an attempt to fuel economic growth. ranging from ports in greece to railways in zambia. is that spending by china likely to slow now that china likely to slow now that china is struggling so much economically at home? for a while when _ economically at home? for a while when china _ economically at home? for a while when china was - economically at home? for a while when china was doing l economically at home? for a . while when china was doing well economically, it seemed to make sense for the government to use the belt and road initiative and other initiatives to try to use its financial clout to also increase its geopolitical power around the world. so, at a time when china's receiving pushback from the countries it gave money to, and

so perhaps more telling is what xi jinping and senor play have to say. they are often harshly critical. they publicly the entire play for not being good enough for suffering from disease, for not conducting realistic and rigorous enough training. they keep emphasize saying that the objective is not simply to fight the objective it is to fight and win. keep in mind talking about a party navy strictly speaking this is not a national navy. the pla navy is an element of the armed wing of the chinese communist party and xi jinping never them forget that he and senior uniformed leaders never fail to mention that loyalty to the party is paramount. officers and sailors alike are required to study be tested on xi jinping. in short the pla. navy is expected to completely in reliability role reliably red as well as proficient in combat at sea. the final point i would make is the shared command between the ship the warships captain and the ship's political is a potential wicked one that is foreign to the western tradition of naval command. and because in this case t

g , ., jinping? does xi jinping want to invade taiwan? _ jinping?e taiwan? the comments he made when he first came to power, he said early on in his tenure that he thought taiwan was not an issue that should be passed down through generations. some people thought he would want to deal with taiwan very quickly, some thought he had an appetite to invade. we certainly have seen heightened military exercises during this time, he does not seem to shy away from confrontation. 0n the other hand the chinese economy is not doing very well right now and the sanctions beijing has placed on taiwan have been very carefully placed so far, really only on local taiwan products, nothing that would hurt china as a whole. and so some people think maybe his appetite for conflict, his appetite for hosting the chinese economy isn't very high right now. clearly perhaps to signal a message to taiwan about its intentions. it's notjust china that has an interest in taiwan, or the us, but regional players? that's right, this election is being watched by so many countries — ja

i see signs of joe biden and xi jinping - its future?s future? i see signs of joe | biden and xi jinping trying to biden and xijinping trying to find a floor to stand on. there are signs of more efforts by taiwan to try and reach out to the prc. i hope the prc is willing to hear those messages from taiwan. but there are reasons to be hopeful and unfortunately reasons to be hopeful because even despite these attempts to create a floor to stand on the prc has taken a much more aggressive approach through military threats, economic threats and rhetorical threats. meanwhile, ahead of the _ rhetorical threats. meanwhile, ahead of the election - rhetorical threats. meanwhile, ahead of the election the - ahead of the election the younger generation in taiwan find themselves in a curious predicament. on the one hand, the self ruled island is lauded as an advanced economy by the international monetary fund and a high income one by the world bank. but as i found out when i hit the streets of taiwan, comes to how they feel about that and how they f

he takes xi jinping's word that xi jinping said on november 15 to president biden i don't want to see more america die from fentanyl. we know the communist party run by xi jinping is behind the fentanyl gangs. mark: i guess you just don't understand. joe biden is protected to defend democracy in our country, so he says. let me ask you another question about this. which is this. our universities and colleges are receiving and have tens of billions of dollars from communist china from countries in the middle east like qatar, why doesn't the president put an end to this. unless he doesn't have a problem with it. let me put it to you this way. if you are president xi, could you be happier with this administration? could you be happier with this administration do you feel like you're the luckiest genocidal maniac on the side of the earth, don't you think he's thinking that. >> i'm sure he's thinking of that. we saw the 2020 campaign that chinese propaganda was supporting biden over bernie sanders in the democratic primaries and of course they supported biden over trump the general election

xi jinping and biden talked, what never came out, xi jinping, china, through its purchases of russian never came out either. >> china is already at war with the world. because they did green light the invasion of ukraine, and financed it, you know with iran, if you look at first 9 months of 2023, china's purchases of iranian oil 60% above comparable period in 2017, this is important because in 2018 drin trump administration resanctioned purchases of oil, china is supplying money and the weapons to hamas, hezbollah and houthi militia. larry: and last point, i'll make, the defense department seemed toment to hide the issue -- want to hide issue of china spy balloon, we have learned that it was a spy balloon, but it was sending intelligence back to beijing. >> mark milley, told cbs news, now intelligence was gathered by that balloon. he knew that it did. he lied to american people, that is not only pro-china thing that milley did, we need to investigate. larry: i think we need a tough on china policy, really tough. we'll talk some more about that gordon chang thank you so much. >> folks

to achieve this we are working hard to advance china's -- and president xi jinping recently stressed during the central conference on work, on economic, sorry, on work relating to foreign policy that china's foreign policy in the new era should aim at creating a more favorable international for china's modernization dries and building human communities of future. china remains firm in pursuing and independent foreign policy of peace and is committed to peaceful development. china is the only country to incorporate its commitment of peaceful development into china's constitution. and recently we have adopted the law of foreign nations which explicitly f stresses again china's commitment to peace and the path of peaceful development. since the founding of the people's republic of china we have all along have a good record on peace. we have never revoked conflict or war, or occupied a single inch of foreign land your president xi jinping reiterated during his recent visit to the united states that china will not fight a cold war or a hot war with anyone. people in our nation have our ow

one is the central party which is headed now by shooting pain xi jinping as a general secretary.here is a another e committee which is the central committee of inspection. anction committee is under the leadership of the central party committee so there are two committees so you can tell from the name it's more about discipline. it's more about fighting corruption. it's more about punishing who have violated the charter of the communist party of china and also the people would abide the chinese laws. not only the charter of the communist party but they also by the law. so then, when we flee the country the part nothing can be done about it. then we decide to take them back. we have the support and help from the partners here in the united states from the department of on the man security department the homeland security department. so we managed to get them back on the basis of the u.s. law and on the basis we did not have they taken back to china some with the international consensus for corrupt people i think that is very good. we do express our s appreciation for the law enfor

it will make xi jinping think twice. a comprehensive deterrence strategy to make sure we never go to war. my job as your next president -- how old are you? thank you for serving. i'm proud of so many people in this room who have served and are serving this country. my job as your commander-in-chief is it -- god forbid we willver put y in harm's way. it will only ever be to protect americans here in the u.s. send you sooner to our southern border than to fight somebody else's war around the world. i hope you're doing that to protect the nation. you do your part, i will do mine is your next commander-in-chief. i will wrap up on this. this is our moment to get this right. we don't have a lot of time. if the interestayments of the national debt are the highline in our federal budget. if we do get to 2032 and my son is entering high school, but we go a different path rather than the one i'm asking you to take, i don't think we have a country left. i don't think we are working with a lot of time. i don't exaggerate that. i thi

and how close are jeezy paying, -- xi jinping, putin and the north korean leader.hen putin took crimea it was easier than ukraine. i do not know whetheback in 2014 it really emboldened xi jinping because at that time he was just coming into power in beijing. it was before he was able to consolidate power and carry out his own plan. he is watching now, and i am sure he is, how the war between russia and ukraine is going. it's goto because putin is not doing well in his plan of invasion. we are nearly two years in and the war is in sort of an impasse where no side is really having the upper hand. think that puts a lot of pressure on how capable china really is in trying to retake taiwan because china really did not have any formal military conflicts since 1949, really. the chinese military is not really tested in that sense. host: thank you so much for your time. he has a senior research■

xi jinping told biden there countries should struggle for a peaceful union. relations have contributed to global peace and stability and ties have studied since they met in san francisco in november. haidi: asml confirming a dutch government ban on some china shipments and this really takes effect as we watch the key risk going into the year the ongoing tensions between u.s. and china so much as been focused on the text fear and so much further focuses as we get into this key election year with the u.s. presidential election in november. annabelle: you have to understand the significance of how important asml is to the chipmunk in process globally because -- chip making process globally because it produces these machines that can print tiny features that form the basis of a microchip and it is very important when you get into this advanced a semi conductor phase and it is very unique in capabilities in this chip process. the biden administration wants to limit china's capabilities in producing advanced semi conductors so it has been putting pressure on allies

out of china because xi jinping has become a tick today to have.what he is. it's a totalitarian country, and xi jinping is basically acting as a dictator. no doubt there's people seeking to flee that repressive system, and perhaps the most powerful person in china is actually the person working 59 the consulate at the u.s. embassy allowing people to flee. but if i were an enemy of america trying to exploit one of our biggest weaknesses, certainly i would look at the open southern border and the porousness there and try to exploit that to create chaos. and when john ratcliff says that we should pay attention to something like he did in the segment you plaid, we should be paying more attention to it. it's why the biden administration's fecklessness at the southern border has become such a severe national security threat. and when it comes to land purchases, this is absolutely something that we can fix in congress right now. i have a bipartisan bill that would fix this. the time for action is now. we cannot waste the next year when it comes to legisla

is going to have to act on that, xi jinping is talking to himself and china into a war.ologize for display with this question but if the voters choose the proceeds cp party what does that mean in terms of reunification is a game set match and the second part what is biden administration or whoever the president is doing in response. >> i don't think of a pro-china candidate and there are two of them that it will change that much, the reason in taiwan don't see themselves as chinese in at least 60% and 80% say they are taiwanese only and only like three or 4% say their chinese only, and me democratic elected president whether there pro-china oriented were not they cannot hand taiwan over to china and that means china could be more provocative if a pro-china candidate gets elected in the reason is the guy cannot select surrender and there could be provocations. as there were provocations in 2008 - 2016 when the last pro-china president of taiwan was in place and relations were necessarily decadent that point, as for the biden administration taiwan is democratic we just hav

bolton writes it's a close contest between trump and xi jinping who would be the happiest to see trump back in office. putin will relish a second term, he writes. trump will want to enhance his personal relationship with xi. he adds, quote, imagine trump's euphoria with resuming contact with north korea's kim jong-un. all three autocratic leaders i should note that trump has repeatedly brought up on the 2024 campaign trail. >> kim jong-un leads 1.4 billion people, and there's no doubt about who the boss is, and they want me to say he's not an intelligent man. i got along with putin. let me tell you i got along with him really well, and that's a good thing. president xi is like central casting. there's nobody in hollywood that can play the role of president xi. the look, the strength, the voice. >> overall bolton says this of trump, that he's unfit to be president. if his first four years were bad, a second four will be worse. joining me tonight is john bolton, trump's former national security advisor and the author of "the room where it happened a white house memoir." it's out today wi

the victory being seen as a blow to xi jinping strategy for the island. >> we are telling the international community that between democracy and authoritarianism, we will stand on the side of democracy. shery: joining us from taipei is yvonne man. how big of a win was this for the dpp? yvonne: as you say, this is a historic win for them given that no party before has won three terms in a row so this is certainly a milestone and also he won by a comfortable margin but he only got 40% of the mandate, the lowest percentage of votes since 2000. dpp lost the overall majority in parliament so numbers defied some china threats about the election being a member of war and peace and voters voiced dissatisfaction in legislative ballots. from domestic issues like high housing prices, slow wage growth, less job opportunities turned young voters away so without that clear mandate we are talking about the dpp leading a divided government and they will have to cross party lines to try and negotiate to get any sort of budgets or legislation through and that could hurt advancement of some of their agenda. s

xi jinping told him to be ready by 2027 according to pentagon military incursion, a lot of problems inhe chinese economy right now is not doing well but when you get to where xi jinping it may not necessarily be a rational decision, he stated recently according to the "wall street journal" hunter biden for essentially taiwan and china will be reunified. they can do it via hong kong style where they tried to do it peacefully, it's what they were trying to do, coercing, we need to prepare to have all options on the table to deter them, that can be things like lindsey graham talked about instability will they face day one and we need to continue to up the deterrence because xi jinping is serious taking up one way or another. >> they are not beer, no one worries about them. coming up, donald trump slams the witchhunt against him, we break down the cases, james trustee up next. candidate for the president of the united states, governor nikki haley joins one nation as she makes the final push in i iowa, she's confident you don't want to miss it and follow us, follow me on twitter, facebook,

correspondent: president xi jinping's policies on taiwan involve two things, carrot and stick.rot, it is offering incentives for taiwanese people to come in both and work here, including much cheaper rent. and here is the stick. china's latest aircraft carrier named after the province closest to taiwan was unveiled on state media last week. the sound of military jets and warships likely drone out beijing's attempts at wooing at the islands people. he came here from taiwan for work. he tries to entice chinese customers with simpler type a flavors, and is aware the relationship between his past and current homes is fractious. >> i think the feedings are good between the people, but i don't know how the two governments feel about each other. i hope ties be normalized in the two sides can be like two brothers, like a family. correspondent: many taiwanese are thought to be distance of immigrants from this province. beijing plays on these familial ties to outline a vision of a future china unified with taiwan. but those likely to listen to this view are its own people, not those livi

same with xi jinping. that's fantasy. but that's what he thinks.ukraine where he has said, i'm going to get zelenskyy and putin into a room, we will solve this in 24 hours, it won't be solved in 24 hours. of course, that won't be donald trump's fault. it will be somebody else's. he will blame zelenskyy. putin is waiting for that to happen. >> nikki haley is the last standing republican candidate right now challenging him. you know her record at the u.n. she followed you there at the u.n. what is your take? >> i hope she stays in the race up until the convention. i think she ought to say that now. because i think she could carry the banner for everybody who doesn't like donald trump, whether they support her or someone else. a meteor could strike. there could be something in one of the criminal trials that wakes people up that if we're not careful in august, republicans will nominate a convicted felon for the presidency. it's a long shot, to be sure. but i think there's something -- i think others who -- even if they dropped out of the race like chr

. >> he praises xi jinping all the time. do you think that's appropriate? do you think he should be out there praising xi jinping at these rallies that he has? >> well, first of all, they had a good relationship until xi jinping lied to him about covid. and that soured the whole situation. prior to that, we were working well and we -- you know, we got the phase one trade agreement. that was good. it's made a real difference for our farmers and for our manufacturers. but the chinese mishandled the cove situation, and it became a worldwide pandemic. and i think trump has never forgiven him for what they did, and rightly so. i just don't feel that was handled right. and we had people at the embassy in beijing that could have helped them. but they would not return our phone calls. >> all right. governor branstad, thank you very much for your time, mr. ambassador. more news straight ahead. stay with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. in order for small businesses to thrive, they need to be smart, efficient, savvy. making the most of every opportunity. that's why co

turned into the fact that trump asked that both the wine-skinned kim jong-un and the red dictator xi jinpinguy soybeans from the united states from the farmers, because then the farmers will support trump. that is, everything here is clear to me, including what trump says during the election process. this is just an election process. now for the actual steps. fortunately , the president of the united states of america has had enough a small maneuver, because since the time of obama, all these issues have been transferred to congress. and the current situation, it shows even more the influence of the congress. the only problem is that the election campaign and the situation in... the likan party, within the party itself, today brings certain problems, including for solving the issues of urgent assistance to ukraine in... accordance with the plans that he himself congress accepted, but i am convinced , i hope that the issues will be resolved there, especially since today is actually the meeting of president joe biden with representatives of both the majority and the minority, both in the senat

this turned into trump asking that both winnipushny, kim jong-un, and the red dictator, xi jinping, buyfrom the united states from farmers, because the farmers would then support trump. that is, everything here is clear to me, and what trump says during the election process is this just the election process. now for the actual steps. fortunately, in

what lesson do you think china's xi jinping learned from how quickly the coalition was formed. i am grateful that president biden and our nato allies have drawn this line for putin. let me remind you that putin did not expect this. it is extremely important that the line is drawn. we said if you cross that line, there will be measures that will hurt your economy. we will provide military aid and strengthen nato. it was a clear message, and the most important signal was that the ukrainians, because they are brave warriors, stopped the russian invasion, this attracted the attention of sydzenpien, and the fact that this invasion was stopped, that the allies came together to help ukraine, is a powerful signal for xi to think twice about taiwan. just at that time, putin and xi said that there are no limits to the deepening of relations. they said it publicly to send a message to the world, and i think you're right that the community of this sent signal to china and xi, but now they seem to be waiting for the american elections. they hope for a change in policy and see that congress

i believe xi jinping also heard there was a delegation of senators that went, and he dedicated a greatespectful engagement. and heard about fentanyl andv/ls consequences? our country where it is killing huge numbers of americans. and that has been driving some of the anger at china, is the nationally-shared■/ sense of grievance that the prc was taking no significant steps to reduce the production and export to the united states of fentyl substantive steps have been take, and that is a positive sign. we need to now figure out how it is the that we can fin cooperation whether it's on climate change or on pandemics or on research well recognizing that we will vigorously each tao constraint strain the other -- constrain the other in terms of technology that are raising some concerns in conversations i've had here. but i think it is also worth being clear that in terms of the international rules-based order, china continues to do things in the economic zones of regional neighbors in terms of constraining the freedom of a navigation in terms of their view of the international flow of data an

does xi jinping of china even have full understanding of everything that the national security apparatuss doing, and they want to do in the u.s. election. there's always going to be a lot of concern here, not just related to hacking but more subtle ways that there can be foreign influence in american elections and toward voters. >> thanks for the reporting. >>> also today on capitol hill the senate judiciary committee will question the ceos of five major social media companies, tiktok, meta, snapchat, discord and x. they are expected to testify at an online child safety hearing, and this comes as efforts to regulate online platforms really ramp up across the united states and lawmakers accuse companies of failing to protect kids. >> joining us cnn media analyst and senior media reporter, sar fischer, i love these meetings because you realize what law firms prepped these individuals going into it and what lawmakers understand about the technology itself. what are you watching and who are you watching specifically? >> i mean, it's a great point. senator dick durbin is the one to watch here

we understand today's china under g jinping rule is a different -- xi jinping rule is a different chinaocking amongst the kmt camp, so we understand his decision not to have ma come to the rally, but we also respect ma's statement as well. stephen: do you think the kmt is overstating the threat of war? the candidate for vice president for the dpp essentially said framing this election as a vote between war and peace is basically just playing to beijing's propaganda. jason: we are very pragmatic. we understand the threat is real, but we also understand we need to prepare. in order to prepare, we have to prepare for the strategic deterrence. to deter china, we not only have to be able to defend ourselves but also need to assure china that there is a redline that we won't cross. the redline to china is pursuing taiwan independence. this is also a redline to the u.s. that taiwan is not going to venture out to pursue independent status. stephen: what is the risk to the semi conductor industry and business here that is already diversifying its supply chain? japan are building in the united st

plus, the reporting on chinese leader xi jinping and a promise he made to president biden, when the two in november. she telling biden that china would not interfere in the 2024 presidential election. we have some more details on that. and elon musk saying his company, neuralink, it's the first to implant a computer chip in a human brain. what kind of life transforming technologies could be on the horizon? we'll talk about that. >>> right now, house republicans, actually, we have breaking news we want to get. democratic congressman cori bush speaking out after confirming the justice department is reviewing her campaign spending on security service. she claims there is no wrongdoing on her behalf. she is being accused by some in congress of misusing funds to pay for security inappropriately. she's being accused of essentially a higher in her husband. we're expecting she's going to make some remarks. let's listen on capitol hill. >> all right, so, first and foremost, i hope myself, my campaign, and my position to the highest levels of integrity. i also believe in transparency, which is wh

because donald trump has already managed to agree and resolve all issues with kim chin-un, with xi jinping, only bolton describes very well how angry trump is, and promising to resolve the issue of the denuclearization of north korea and find solutions to all issues. with china, it all turned into trump asking that both the wine-skinned kim jong-un and the red dictator xi jinping buy soybeans from the united states from the farmers, because the farmers would then support trump. that is, everything is clear to me here, and what trump says during the election process is just an election process. now , as far as actual steps are concerned, fortunately the president of the united states of america has quite a bit of room to maneuver, because since obama, all these issues have been transferred to congress, and the current situation, it shows even more the influence of congress, and the only problem is that the election campaign and the situation in the republican party, within the party itself, today brings certain problems, including for solving issues of urgent aid to ukraine, in accordance w

he praised xi jinping's response right in middle of the chinese government, basically a cover up of this. and it was really striking. and so people talked about his background as ethiopia's health minister. but actually what i look in to in my book and what i think is a lot more relevant for how for his initial reaction, the pandemic as the head of the w.h.o. was his role as ethiopia's foreign minister, which a position he held from around 2012 and 2016. if i get years. right, and in fact when he was was the foreign minister ethiopia that was the peak year that the pinnacle of ethiopia's close relationship china and they still they still have a close relationship with china but his job foreign minister was to steward that close relationship with beijing and in 2014 he had a you know he went to beijing. he had a you know, he jointly announced with his chinese counterpart a comprehensive know a new a leveling up of the relationship to some kind of comprehensive strategic partnership. he was himself, you know, raised politically in a in a one party state in ethiopia. and that's how he relat

xi jinping hears that and becomes more belligerent. this was counter productive.r taiwan. obviously there's been a lot of pushback here in this country. i want to bring in liz peek into this, gordon, because obviously, liz, our role in this is now probably greater. >> yeah. gordon, a couple of questions. one, what could joe biden have said that would sort of express america's admiration for taiwan's bravery in voting in an anti-china candidate? and secondly, what role do you think that china is going to play in our election? there's a lot of talk that they interfered in our election last time around. do you think that will happen again? and who will they be supporting? >> yeah. on your first question, liz, i just would have said the united states of america supports the free people of taiwan. and we will not allow any interference in their affairs. now, going forward, there's 65 national elections this year. china was deeply involved in the taiwan election. this is something that biden warned xi jinping about novembeo and china interfered anywhich which shows you

xi jinping and his company have been thwarting american activities and infiltrating america not justsouthern bore border but throuh cyber war fare and implementing monetary policies that affect china and america. now they're buying interest at the u-penn center. i don't believe for one second that the fbi or office of the treasury didn't know about these things. maria: gordon, how is this allowed? how is it possible that communist china can send $130 million just since 2018 and as you can see the money has tripled in the last year to the university of pennsylvania's penn biden center. >> couple things. as a technical matter, the chinese know that the biden administration is not enforcing federal law on the reporting of donations by institutions of higher learning from foreign sources. this was rigorously enforced in the trump administration, biden is not doing it. but again, we're going back to the broader issue which is chinese arrogance. you know, the chinese think they can do whatever they want. they believe that the biden administration will not oppose them so they are buying inf
