it was here in, davos, switzerland the chinese president xi jinping deliver the important speech. and when he ponder the question about time and what is going on with world and what shall we do about it read and send a resounding message china will support economicon globalization and practice naturalism enjoy the effort to make the world a better place predict this speech is concluded brought us some sunshine. and upon deeperr reflection, president xi jinping pointed out that any attempted to channel the waters and ocean into isolated lakes and creeks, something not possible. and that is hearing protection is like self and backroom. what wind and rain is kept outside in the back room will also grow light air. in this time, i had the privilege of listening to the speech in the audience and this is my second time here. and it is still fresh in the memory since then president xi jinping, and offered clear answers twice as world economic forum questions of how to improve global governance and building community and kind which provided important guidance to thern international communi

but it's certainly not going to be around 5% as xi jinping claims.ryl: the truth is always fascinating. john lonski, get in there. >> yeah, gordon. you know, i can't help but think that the chinese economy is going nowhere as long as they remain closely allied with countries like russia and iran as opposed to seeking warmer, friendlier relations with their major customers like the united states and western europe. i just don't get the chinese economy a chance. my view is the chinese communist party made a horrible decision as far as what is in the best interest of long-term economic growth in china and a long-term improvement in living standards. >> well, that's absolutely right. because china's economy right now depends on exports. and the united states and the european union and even countries in the global south are now starting to tariff and otherwise restrict chinese purchases of chinese products. that is a death sentence for the chinese economy. and they need to have good relations with brussels, with washington, with all sorts of countries aro

xi jinping. what does xi jinping want? he clearly wants a hugely popular media operation in the united states that he has power over. that is an animus thing for him to give up. what possible trade could be made therefore xi jinping to give that up? >> there are a lot of deals teed up here for our incoming president trump. thank you, eamon, for all the information. >> the market is having a nice rally. tech is leading. the nasdaq is up 100%. we are looking at strong gains. >> it seems like that monday low at the snp, people are feeling as if that is a reliable test of that election day close. we also had a negative turn, which is helpful when you had people get worried and therefore, you have the room for relief rally point so the aai, taking a plunge. we are feeding off of that to some degree. you've got industrial production was okay, and obviously, cpi is allowed this. >> i was going to say, the softer core cpi and waller's has allowed that economic data can come in hot and the market doesn't have to extrapolate. no cut

it is strongest as xi jinping. there is no other allies who can really do ital yeah, because his economy, putin is -- depends very much of china. >> you would like donald trump and xi jinping of china to work together to push -- >> yes. but not without us. it's important. scarlet: and that was bloomberg editor-in-chief, john micklethwait, speaking with the president of ukraine. and we would like you to stay tuned all week for bloomberg coverage from the world economic forum in davos. before we close out the hour, a reminder here that we have u.s. stocks at record highs right now. the s&p 500 sitting near its best levels of the session, up by .8%. well above that 6090 level. you have the nasdaq leading the way up 1.6% thanks to big gains in netflix today. treasuries and the dollar, not moving a whole lot. the ten-year yield moving 4.3% and the dollar marginally higher from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ announcer: this is balance of power. live from washington dc. joe: trump tariffs are still just a threat, 10% agai

we have strong allies and partners and we do not see that coming from vladimir putin and from xi jinpingn china or the north koreans or the iranians but the united states have strong allies who can stand with us in the most important security agreement we have had i think anytime in her nation's history is nato and it is a critical and disposable part of her national security and if the presidents nominee for secretary of defense wrote in his book, american crusade that nato is a relic, and it should i be scrapped sine his nomination mr. pete hegseth is trying to walk back that position to one of our key international alliances at nato. and in advance questions for the committee called nato by the u.s. interest in europe and american interests from russia and vladimir putin. and now the sudden reversal is welcome. as i think is very important that are secretary of defense understands how critical nato is and there's stronger now than it was in the last anytime in the last since it was formed probably we now have 32 members of nato. but pete hegseth the 11th hour conversion to understandi

self—governing territory off the chinese coast which could become a major flashpoint if president xi jinpingchina decides to invade it. the capital, taipei, is orderly, gentle but a bit drab, but certainly not flashy like the big cities of the mainland. taiwan is where the nationalist forces ended up when mao zedong's communists drove them out in 1919. now, after 76 years of self—rule, this pleasant, pro—western, thoroughly democratic territory is under real threat. i've been covering the intricacies of chinese politics since the late 19605. and what a journey it's been, starting off with mao zedong's unbelievably irresponsible cultural revolution, where huge crowds of pumped—up, hysterical students attacked their teachers and professors, and the traditional expressions of china's long cultural history. then mao died. his closest supporters were arrested, and deng xiaoping emerged to reverse the whole process and start the slow opening up of china's economy to the west with scarcely a thought for ideology. but a new generation wanted greater personal freedom, and students from beijing normal

xi jinping and him warm is maybe not the right word. they have had a cordial relationship and have spoken and been able to have conversations with one another. of course, donald trump also has a tough on china policy. he has marco rubio now expected to be his secretary of state. if he is confirmed, someone who is sanctioned by beijing. so it's an interesting and complicated relationship. the trump administration will have with china. but the fact that they have spoken. also worth noting that china, for the first time, is going to be sending one of its top chinese communist party officials to donald trump's inauguration on monday. that is a sign of them wanting to continue this sort of working relationship, perhaps a better relationship with the trump administration than they had had with biden. all of this is playing a big role on this. but again, we have to keep in mind that this is a stunning reversal that donald trump has made with his warming to tiktok. from what we saw back in 2020 when just, you know, soon before leaving the white

president elect trump spoke with xi jinping of china on the phone today.tok's chief executive will be at the inauguration. i suspect there's a lot going on behind the scenes. i suspect that trump is trying to negotiate something to keep tiktok available to americans. what say you? >> 100%. it's very clear from everything that president elect trump, soon to be president trump is saying. he doesn't want tiktok to go dark. he see it is as a valuable platform. i'm sure he's concerned and his team are concerned about all the national security aspects that led to this ban in the first place. he's got very smart people around him, mike waltz as national security adviser and they're very concerned about china. i think you're going to see a deal that protect this is platform that so many americans use and mitigates the national security concern. i don't know the shape or seeing it but i'm very convinced that's what donald trump wants to see happen. stuart: trump's the guy to negotiate, that's for sure. steve hilton, it's a real pleasure on the show all these years

xi jinping and the us president and maybe to some degree the uk have to be involved. i would tell remind the that there's probably nothing that has a lower cost and potential higher than the relation jimmy and some of the other political prisoners in hong kong. yeah i mean they've they've made their point daily's presses are not going to be running again. yeah. yeah no it's striking though that the trial, it's as though they're waiting from beijing to hear should be done before they finish the trial, which is kind of interesting, which means that perhaps means that xi himself is not certain what what he wants out of this. so besides what besides shutting down. yeah, i again, i think they've made point with hong kong. i would say let's not up on hong kong, let's not forget there are more than 7 million people there. six out of ten from that first election in 1991 until the last free election at the end of 2019, more or less six out of ten people have always voted for the pro-democracy candidates. you know, certainly the people of hong kong want freedom. they better tha

xi jinping got a red carpet treatment. meeting and that shows you how important china is to these countries how unimportant we are. mark: for the viewer out there and even for me this is so daunting. we look at the islamist terrorism movement how it is infiltrated the country, our culture so much of the activities that take place here. look at what the chinese communist chinese hcommunist che to do. i did not also with the biting regime. it certainly has expanded enormously with the biting regime. it's going to take a presidency, one heck of an administration and a united country to push back and all of these is in it? >> it certainly is. by the way the chinese have listing posts in cuba and probably that got a military base there as well. this is cuban missile crisis number two in the works. >> plexus is white donald trump will be and needs to be a historic president. this is why the house republicans seem to get their act together braid this is why senate republicans need to unite and stop with three, four, five of them

money, that china is trying to save face, i don't think that this company or the ccp certainly, xi jinpingas strong as some believe i think there is so much worry in china as economy slips given the real estate losses there, we've got the senate confirming scott bessent treasury secretary yesterday 68 to 29. he is now our new nation's treasury secretary we have more hearings for this week, form confirmation hearings include rfk, jr., hhs secretary howard lutnick consumers kel new loeffler, thursday includes kash patel fbi director tulsi gabbard for director of national intelligence, we are seeing the confirmation process speed up a lot of stalling going on, by the democrats, but maybe president trump will get his cabinet in place by the end of this week or next. >> yes, i look at you, my senator creates murphy state of connecticut for throwing you know a wrench in wheels of this process, it needs to get done let's stop playing games, donald trump won election, you provide obstacles not going to change that. it is time ago to let's go. maria: we are getting started this hour want to take a

we also know that xi jinping is is sending one of their top officials from the chinese communist party to the inauguration as well, something they are doing for the first time. all to say, this relationship, donald trump's relationship with the ceo of tiktok, but also xi jinping is definitely one of those complicating matters in all of this, even though donald trump has really said that he wants to take a hard line policy on china, he also has marco rubio, if he is confirmed to be his secretary of state, someone who is very much a hawk on china. he's actually sanctioned by beijing. all of this is weighing into this decision. but i think the key thing is what donald trump is going to do once he is in office. and we do know that he is weighing an executive order to potentially push pause on this ban to see if they can find some sort of agreement with tiktok. you know, i'm told in a short amount of time, maybe 60 to 90 days to put pause on this so they can try to find some sort of negotiation. so all of this is under consideration. but again, we will not know until donald trump officially

when xi jinping says the return of taiwan to the motherland, as he puts it, is inevitable, he absolutely all have — and i don't have an answer to it, to be honest, john — is when does he mean that and how does he intend to do it? his intentions, i think, are very, very clear — that he believes taiwan must be, as he would put it, reunified with the rest of china within his term or, at least, it has to happen before — before the 100th anniversary of the revolution in 20119. so, you know, that's the absolute sort of end date is 20119. i think there's also a growing realisation by the leadership in beijing that taiwan, in its democratic, open, free system of government, is never going to vote for that and, ultimately, that means china must be — and i think is — considering military options. and in addition to that, just look at what china is building in terms of its military capability, particularly its naval capability. but, of course, xijinping has seen his close associate russia getting bogged down in a really difficult war that russia thought was going to be just a walkover against ukrai

stuart: let's see what xi jinping has to say, unlikely to refuse to see him, that would be bad.think he would want to do that. the fact that he sent the vice premier to the inauguration is already a signal that china wanted to reciprocate to trump's invitation of xi jinping to come to the inauguration, she was not ready to come himself ascending so what is a good side. i do think for our benefit as well as the world benefit if we can avoid a direct confrontation with china it's in everyone's interest. stuart: got it, kurt volker, thank you for joining us we always appreciate it. trump's national security advisor michael waltz says expect aggressive action on the border from the moment trump takes office. what is aggressive action look like. stuart: good question, this is how watley did not receive an. >> you are certainly going to see a much were aggressive action from border patrol to lockdown our border. number one. number two, we are working rapidly back towards everyman and mexico policy. number three, you are going to see some of our key partners step up in terms of deporta

eight years ago, it was here in davos that chinese president xi jinping delivered the important speech in which he pondered the question of our times. what has gone wrong with the world and what should we do about it? and sent a resounding message that china will support economic globalization, uphold and practice multilateralism, and join the effort to make the world a better place. this speech, as the professor concluded, brought us some sunshine. upon deep reflection, president exi pointed out that -- xi pointed out that any attempt to channel the waters in the ocean back into isolated lakes and creeks is simply not possible. and that pursuing protectionism is like locking one self in a dark room. while wind and rain may be kept outside, the dark room will also block light and air. at that time, i had the privilege of listening to that speech in the audience and this is my second time here, not a first time. and it is still fresh in my memory. since then, president xi had offered clear answers twice at the world economic forum to the questions of how to improve global governance and

not wonderful news for xi jinping. they have very different interests. as of now, we don't see that having very much of an impact. for years, go back 5, 10 years. chinese-israeli relations were quite good, china was investing a fair amount of money in israel. high tech stuff. and russian-israeli relations were good. they collaborated to make sure they did not get in each other's way in syria. the israelis were bombing syria all the time to try prevent ringing arms going to hezbollah. they do not get in the way of russians in syria. that has changed now in 2024. and i would say it has changed because both of them had to ask, china and russia, that is, what is the game here, what are we doing here? and the key issue is the united states. the key issue is to diminish american influence. for example, it is good for china to have a high tech relationship with israel, but it is being destroyed. they are willing to take that destruction because there is a bigger game. the bigger game is u.s. influence on the world. rush: i think that sounds right. thank you to

trump spoke today with the chinese president, xi jinping. now, he did not do that for biden, and that >> so i have many problems together and starting immediately well, this talk of goodwill and this appearance at the inauguration is on prem that in a moment is a bit puzzling. >> of course, given what trump has been saying about china consistently through the election i'm unpopular with china. >> china doesn't like me too much. china was going crazy with me. please don't put any more tariffs on the china chips. they're all over the place. china wants to take all of the jobs. they've annihilated your steel mills, decimated your coal jobs, assaulted your oil and gas jobs, and sold off your manufacturing jobs to china. we get the china. you know, they call it the china curse. we get the china curse. they're better. and their air is dirty. covid, our gift from china. >> all right. so talk tough about china. that has been the hallmark of trump's career. now, though, china is pulling out all the stops to cater to trump. the vice president headed t

i never saw him in the meetings with xi jinping say, what are you doing in shipping lanes in the pacificor even looks at donald trump has done in first couple weeks of his transition, talking about the strategic value of greenland and panama canal and monroe doctrine we're back on our heels, now, we're going to have a bigger footprint that is -- kind of came out in this hea hearing. we have to recover our foreign policy. america first. >> no question. pete did a great job of addressing that. including through the menu of failures that you just dunder this current president. but contrast, when donald trump was president, he either ended wars or prevented them. he didn't oversee the beginning of one, now i think you see him insome wars that joe biden has helped oversee. and probably ukraine quickly and probably, even who knows in israel. because he is so engined, a -- engaged, a lot, deterrents is not just a weapon system it is an attitude, attitude where you back up your words with actions, and where your words mean something, to our adversary and allies, and donald trump has that. pete h

we know, of course, that he spoke with xi jinping on friday on a number of topics, including tiktok. with that impending ban set for tomorrow, but also having, as you mentioned, one of donald trump's or, excuse me, one of china's top officials from the communist party attending the inauguration on monday for the first time, i should say, is a massive departure from what we've seen in years past. and events like this in years past. and donald trump is really welcoming that and touting that. now, i will also say, of course, donald trump is still going to have a very hard line, hawkish kind of stance toward china. he has a lot of his policies, including tariffs, that he has been talking about repeatedly that he wants to impose on china. we also know his secretary of state have confirmed marco rubio someone who is very hard line on china as well. he's actually sanctioned by beijing. so i do think you're going to see kind of, you know, the difference between, on one hand, having this hard line policy, but also donald trump wanting to maintain some sort of open dialog with xi jinping and c

trump spoke today with the chinese president, xi jinping, as he did not do that for biden. and that call is a big deal. it's not just a big deal, for obvious reasons. just look at how china is treating it front and center on the main communist paper, the people's daily, we translate it for you. xi jinping speaks with u.s. president elect donald j. trump on the phone. that's the main headline. and headlines like that are appearing across many major chinese newspapers. on truth social, trump writes, the call was a very good one for china and the usa. it is my expectation that we will solve many problems together and starting immediately. well, this talk of goodwill and this appearance at the inauguration, this unprecedented moment is a bit puzzling, of course, given what trump has been saying about china consistently through the election. >> i'm unpopular with china. china doesn't like me too much. china was going crazy with me. please don't put any more tariffs on the china chips. they're all over the place. china wants to take all of the jobs they've annihilated your steel

xi jinping makes those decisions. what that means is that chinese kids see very different comment -- mostly educational -- than american kids do. i don't know why the united states would want to outsource the education and ideological cohesion of a generation to our adversary. you underlay this ignorance of that core risk with the fact that trump just issued a meme coin that is the equivalent of him opening a swiss bank account, inviting foreign individuals to deposit money into it, and show him the receipts. that opens up monumental corruption. mike: caroline: we caroline: will talk about trump coin a little bit later, but i go back to the fact that you said this extension is ultimately illegal. you have also said that there is handwaving. bytedance in and of itself would say, control does not lie in china in xi jinping, but up to tiktok in and of itself. going back to, if indeed we did see some sort of joint venture, more u.s. ownership, with that appease some of your national security concerns? rep. auchincloss: as

i don't want to be alarmist, if you listen to xi jinping, important -- down read english translation, that is never right, read the real translation on how what they said. and native tongue. they are saying is that this is a foundational and definitional issue are in xi personally. as a result, i think we need to wrap our head around the fact unless something dramatic changes like a equal libry -- we'll have to deal with it before end of the decade. larry: strong support for porcupine strategy. >> thank you, people in taiwan. >> i just don't like saying porcupine, but yes. >> i went to taiwan in november, and met with presidentn and other leaders, they're nervous right now, part of that reason is they are concerned about how things play out in ukraine. as possibly create an incentive for china. and i take your point about the current tail mate -- stalemate and there is a range of objectives out of reach, but i feel like our partnership with nato and continued supply of war material that enabled ukraines to keep fighting until that resolution is done.ee is important because if ukraine
