musk has deep ties to china. we don't know the full extent of those ties because he refuses to file a public financial disclosure but know music has received hundreds of millions in loans from p.r.c. controlled banks to build factories in shanghai which are essential to his business and wealth. and we know he has met with chinese officials and have failed to close such as a defense contractor. the co-chair vivek ramaswamy said, quote, i have no reason to think elon won't jump like a circus monkey when xi jinping calls in the hour of need. since his inauguration day, musk and affiliates have gained access to government systems containing america's most sensitive personal data. musk has also exported america's data to personal servers for unknown reasons. one government contractor responsible for contributing to briefings called doge's access to the payment system quote, an unprecedented insider threat risk, unquote. if my colleagues were as concerned as they profess to be to critical infrastructure and data, they

and what does china do? well, it's very adept now at getting around these orders more and more on a faster and faster basis. so it's moving production to 3. third countries often in asia but in other locations as well. it's cross subsidizing, so it's it's starting out in a third country where we don't have the orders in place and then our companies have to start back at zero and our workers are impacted in the meantime. it's not as if the injury stops as they bring these cases. it's ongoing and so leveling the playing field at 2.0, it's getting at these very. urgent issues and really promises to really help solve these problems and give us extra tools in our toolbox. ambassador girish, you also talked about the leveling playing field 2.0, as well as most recently discussion about the fighting the cheats act as well. can you talk about why these are truly common sense bipartisan solutions that we should prioritize as a committee but definitely this work with this administration in trying to implement? >> than

i will look at our website to go to china. now, here on the program with the nation's top diplomats greeted russia is the security council secretary as he touched down and paging. so gauge, troy goes, trip centering around russia. china relations during pulse with the chinese president. now is that both nations are leaders gearing up an exchange of state presidential visits uh, economic collaboration with tooth continues to redirect what high, roughly, what nearly $250000000000.00 and bilateral trade rushes natural gas expos, of course, of fueling the factory of the world adults also included the potential resolution of ukraine, as well as the drums hotline sconce towards china. well, that's lot more for 5 now to see g, t and digital report of an international analyst shun issue. and now joining us here when i see grades gets you on sure, and thanks so much for coming on. what were the main topics of the discussion between president g and the, and the russian secretary of the security council sort of a showing. okay, thank you

we have cases with that with regard to china. freedom house has recently released statistics that suggest transnational repression has been engaged in by 23 governments, including backsliding democracies on top of autocracies, but china was the main perpetrator according to freedom house. police stations so-called in new york set up by the chinese government. what should be done about transnational repression not just from china but other countries as well? what can be done better to perhaps counter transnational oppression? audrye: that is a tough question, thinking about the police stations that china has been setting up, the issues that some of these groups gain legitimacy because they are not only engaging in transnational oppression, over expressions of chinese government influence, but also providing community services, outreach to the ethnic chinese communities. some of this can be legitimate. what we want to do is be able to, in addition to getting more information, transparency, i think trying to build a robust civil soc

full uh, they look at china and russia as to the 2 separate entities. they want to push you different policies to reach american objectives in each case except, sorry to interrupt for that except for all the transaction is i'm of the job. it ministration. he was clear about bricks and he clearly expressed a desperate fear in the early days after 0 the ration of amy move away from the use of the dollar. so he's very aware of a new world order that is emerging. uh uh, i think he is, but uh, the move away from the dollar is something that is uh, is happening in rushes. relations with a lot of countries simply simply because russia has been borrowed from the global dollar based financial market. and russia has been using a national guard, and since it has been using the rubel and it's uh, it shifts business transactions with, with a lot of countries. and even the zap is, is often the problem including and rushes relations with china with regard to a come on breaks currency. i don't think we are anywhere near that. yeah, that's the point rusher. wasted. it's

goes to china. and is this about you all to, to point out because i in trump is so, you know, he doesn't have a grasp of the details. he is, is his grasp of the ideas are getting better and better, but details history. it's not his forte. he's a deal maker is everyone knows, and the deal he wants is some kind of, it's already been mentioned here. so i'm kind of global deal. maybe he saw a short documentary on you all to and i know he's obsessed with china. he's been obsessed with china since the 19 ninety's is this what this is all about, thomas, and i think it isn't part partly what it's about. um i think uh the idea that you know, he might be trying to. busy you know, an exit strategy and move us uh, i think has some value to it. and in fact, this thing kind of himself is said, so instead as much. and he said that, you know, he expects russia to, uh, you know, move away from china and that, that should be part of the deal. and uh, you know, honestly i see this strategy as um, as wanda is likely to

so in such a year of special historical significance, china, russia relations will definitely relate, embrace a series of important attendance. but the chinese president has reportedly accepted and if it's an invitation to uh, may, 9th victory day parade here, it must go whether or not he really will come with that does weight to be confirmed . we'll let you know here when i say may 9. so read squared are always that live and weld one for the meantime. appreciate you joining us. we on the, the chess willis. i am the, nobody's telling me that a humorous item built. this was the 4 digits of yellow, but it's sort of still there are some of it from the sort within the number of what it says. this woman hides her face and identity because of the nature of her job, which she's been working for almost a year and a team gathering evidence on the existence of sync with us lives in ukraine. the russian interior ministry suspects that we use to test biological weapons for the 1st step is that then they saying that she's the real quick. let's say we shift anybody from the have to escalate to expe

and from china it's 30%. -- i think he's really leveraging this, he's trying to help shut down the borders, he's helping to reduce fentanyl, he's reducing terrorism in the form of cartels coming into our country with fentanyl. i think he's holding all the cards on this, and i suspect that these countries will capitulate. and the other thing is investors should really be looking at investing internationally. u.s. has been so good for so long, investors have forgotten about the benefits of diversify being. the s&p this year, on the other hand, is relatively flat while large value international stocks are up about% year the date -- 9. a lot of people have missed that, and they're not diversifying their portfolios properly. i think it's a big mistake. maria: where specifically internationally? >> i think you've got to look everywhere. we're in over 20,000 stocks in all of europe, emerging markets, countries like egypt, singapore, malaysia, all these countries that have great opportunities for growth in the future

this is bigger than a mirror coast. china is g. d. p, of course, is bigger than america's, if measured at the purchasing power. adjusted prices were in a multi polar world. and we need 1st to be peaceful in that world, avoid confrontation between the great powers that could take us to, to nuclear armageddon. and we need to keep an, an open trading system. it's not going to be a us dollar dominated system. it's going to be a multi currency system alongside a multi polar system. my hope is that we stay within international law, very fragile. but i'm a believer in the un charter. and i want to make it work in a multi polar world. and a multi lateral legal system at the global level is what we need for our safety, security, and prosperity. if you could have a face to face, sit down with donald trump. what would you tell him about russia bricks and the multi poto world? what would your advice be? you know, my advice is keep on the track with making peace with russia. make peace in the middle east based on 2 states because peace could come

and this is a part of a, a, of a sort of drive to get these results is out of china's hands. china has a, you know, a choke hold on a lot of them, and they all visit them on the economy. they all key to the future economy, we're all talking about. so this is a sort of product tree foreign policy to penetrate foreign policy, but it's in foreign policy. at the same time, it seems to be turning down the temperature on china, turning down the temperature even on iran, from down to temperature, clearly with russia. so is it, is it predatory, or is it kind of also a combination of, of the road countries in the world? yeah, i mean, it was very interesting to see the u. n. vote in which america violated against the resolution that blamed russia for inviting ukraine with a handful of where the rug scattering north korea date, north korea rush of batteries, countries like that did not include china, did not include iran, iran upstage on this question. i think countries all over the world, whatever their idea already do not want a precedent of big naples coupling up smaller ones being seen as oka

to not -- china continues to not meet those commitments. that is in addition to new nontariff barriers being erected around the world like nonscience-based environmental regulations in the e.u. the current playing field is not level for our producers, and righting the ship will not be an easy task. but we cannot let the almost $100 billion in total trade deficits experienced over the past four years continue to widen and worsen. keep in mind that simply right-sizing the expected trade deficit of $45 billion in 2025 would provide more support and more certainty to our farmers than the entire end of year package. i urge the trump administration to aggressively pursue new access to markets and be prepared to stand by our farmers and ranchers if these disruptions start impacting their bottom line. i think we all celebrate the bridge that we were able to accomplish in december. it is just a bridge. the $20 billion -- more than $20 billion in weather-related assistance. the $100 billion in economic disaster relief, which was somewhat unprecedente

this is something that china can take advantage of. you know, that russia will certainly try to take advantage of, and it will make us leadership, you know, but compromise us leadership and the credibility of a man, the american foreign policy, you know, is now at stake. what about the, the europeans? i mean, we've talked about ukraine of course, but this leads to a total break between america and europe. or i think the strains are already there. i'm not sure there's going to be a break. but in, in, in the, in the short to mid term, we're now in the complete damage control involved in united states involving your involving ukraine and others. and, you know, we, i, there's just no roadmap for where we're going here. you know, clearly the, the press, the i stage prioritizes major power relationships. you watch the striker deal with russia. he wants to put the us china relationship on firmer ground. those, those are, those are notable feel goals, you know. but um, you know, our history, which suggests that we need alliances to achieve tha

i mean, we have seen other actors, including india, china and others who are willing to make peace. the europeans are interested in making peace. uh, so i think if the united states does withdraw, that does not necessarily mean that the war will come to a crashing halt immediately and peace can still come. peace can still be created by other international actors. >> do you think that there is any independent actor or any coalition that has the heft and the authority that says to putin that these security guarantees will be enough to keep you on your side of the border? >> that's a very good question. i mean, west europeans have talked about the possibility of deploying peacekeeping forces to ukraine once the war ends. they have also talked about continuing to arm ukraine to maintain its own military power. so although it was much easier if the united states remains involved, it's not necessarily the end of the story. and the west europeans could fill that gap. >> speaking of the west europeans, the uk prime minister, keir starmer, has called for this summit of european leaders tomor
