quickly. >> fair enough. >> i think beijing is very got it's important to beijing's decision-making. if you don't -- deterrence is composed of credible threats and credible assurance so if the chinese believe that the united states is essentially abandoned its one china policy than what is the point for them to not use force if they believe we have crossed what is really their redline? they have two redlines that are real, the rest of them are not. one is that the united states essentially resurrects the neutral defense treaty with taiwan and the other is that we accept the taiwan is an independent sovereign state. of people in the white house will tell you they don't have the intention of doing either of those but if the chinese believe that's where we are headed than we are really headed towards a crisis. it's not just an issue of concession. we have to provide a consistent credible and coherent policy. what i try i tried to lay out in my section of the book is how this administration has not done that. it is in very unclear, contradictory, inconsistent so that the chinese are left

i think beijing reassurance is important to beijing's decision-making. deterrence is composed of credible threat incredible assurance. if the chinese believe that the united states is essentially abandoning its china policy then what is the point for them to not go ahead if they believe we have crossed what is really there red line. i believe they have two red lines that are real and the rest are not. one is that the united states essentially resurrects the mutual defense treaty with taiwan and the other is that we accept that taiwan is an independent sovereign state. people at the white house will tell you they don't have an intention of doing either of those that the chinese believe that is where we are headed then we are headed towards a crisis so it's not just an issue of concession. we have to provide consistent incredible and cohesive policy but what i -- tried to lay out my section of the book is how this administration has not done that. it's been very unclear contradictory and consistent so the chinese are basically won't left wondering what is

why is beijing looking for reassurance and why would reminding beijing a vulnerabilities make a difference? >> i will do my best to answer that question but i want to talk about the point -- richard was pointing out the people's republic of china, there has been a continuous thread to absorb taiwan just as it has absorbed tibet and hong kong. taiwan is the last jewel in the crown for china and something they are very committed to. the reason that such an important point is it belies the notion that if we had a little more military capability or a little more fervor and's for taiwan, china would retreat and abandon its ambitions. this is foundational to what it means. strength alone is not going to solve its problems. i'm glad richard made that point. i think lonnie has done a tremendous service talking about the true path leading to the same destination -- one is a military path with a an invasion type scenario. the other is coercion without violence. if we fixate on one and ignore the other, we are missing the train upon which this challenge is being fought. i think it's critical and i'm

why is beijing looking for reassurance and why do you think reminding beijing of the vulnerabilities would make a difference? >> i will do my best to answer the question but i want to go to the point that richard made because i think that it's absolutely foundational to the argument of the book. richard was pointing out that since the people's republic of china there has been a through lining, a threat of ambition to absorb taiwan. taiwan is the last jewel on the crown for china and something they are committed to. the reason why this is such an important point is because it belies the notion if we had a little bit more military capability or for averments that this would all solve itself and china would retreat and abandon its ambitions. this is sort of foundational to the challenge where it means the strength of the law isn't going to solve this problem, smarts are going to be increasing. i'm really glad that richard made that point and i think bonnie has done a tremendous service talking about the two paths running parallel getting to the same destination information. one is a mil

it's the written us towards beijing. oh, i'm not terribly surprised. i mean one fights about language constantly and statements have a certain value. i wouldn't take them too seriously, but the united states is still the most powerful member of the g 7. and joe biden has been quite tough on china in a way. so it was donald trump, i mean there's a recognition in the united states that china is a pure rival. and it has emissions in the pacific which challenge american interest there. and europe is called as, as you and your reporter said, you know, more difficult players, but they are opinion as has also discovered with covered and also in a way, whether it's dependency on russia, that it doesn't want to be as dependent for trade for goods for supplies of important materials on china either. so the idea of pretty much following the americans is to try to protect key industries and key sources of, of raw material to de risk, while not destroying the important trades that you also described. it's a delicate balancing act. the noise china, china feels in ci

what is beijing saying with this messaging?eijing confirming yesterday that was 20 send the defense minister to this new key defense forum happening in singapore at the end of this week, and it just a few hours we had them officially rebuffing an invitation by the u.s. to have both their defense chiefs sit down in a one-on-one meeting. it appears to be a carefully calibrated response. the message is clear. beijing is absolutely not willing at this stage to play nice. it is not responding to calls from biden saying there will be a thaw in relations. security still the sticking point, something others have called the irreconcilable sticking point between china and the u.s. even though talks have resumed between ray mondo and her chinese counterpart discussing commerce and trade. not much practical movement there either. but the fact that there is not even a sit, no bilateral meeting planned so far for this weekend, does also shift the focus. quite how these u.s. and china tensions will refract through the rest of the region, and

now chained to beijing. he's less than an hour old.here began talks between the president of china and mikhail mishustin. at the very beginning of the meeting, the russian premier conveyed comradely greetings and best wishes from vladimir putin to the chinese leader, as the president noted with great warmth your state visit to the russian federation opened a new pooh in development, and the comprehensive and strategic cooperation that binds russia and china . and they symbolize the unity of approaches of russia and china on all key issues of the global global agenda, our countries together oppose the attempts of the collective west to maintain global dominance, the use of illegal sanctions to impose their will, and independent states. i am confident that russia and china will give a resolute rebuff to this dangerous aspiration. now russian-chinese relations are at a high level , we are confidently implementing all the agreements step by step in the first four months of this year alone, the volume of trade amounted to almost $74 billion

well, i mean, for beijing is, you know, the sense of hypocrisy. here you have the us talking about economic coersion when it was the us who has been, um, is in the past for the unilateral sanctions on other countries, renfero and neighbor alike. and it still has them. in fact, it's the us always say, well, if you know the us, it says that we're somehow impinging on the south china seas. they don't talk about the monroe doctrine, which apparently is being revived. so that there's this real sense that the us is being very hypocritical, that this is simply a power play by the us to try to maintain this a jeremy and kind of getting its old gang together the g 7 to support kids. and this kind of, of idea of, you know, us, you know, maintaining of us, the primacy of the fact is, the g 7 is basically an anachronism. that wasn't able to deal with the financial crisis that had to be done by a wider group. the g 20 is it has made a lot of promises and if you look over the joint communicate, there's a lot of talk, but very, very little action. and quite fran

that's drawn beijing's ire. now in washington, marcos was met with a warm welcome from us president joe biden, and a pledge of military support. united states also remind aren't claire nor remains, aren't clerk amendment to the defense of the film, including the south china sea biden and marco's said, this commitment means honoring a decades old mutual defense pact. closer security ties between the 2 countries have been in play for months. earlier this year, a manila granted the u. s. access to several additional philippines spaces in arrangement that strengthens the philippines, defense capabilities and grants. the u. s. a stronger foot holt, to counter what it sees as the biggest potential threat in the south china sea region. a possible invasion of tie one by china. joining me now for more context on this is author columnist and political scientists. richard ha. darian returned an iron clad commitment from the us to defend the philippines, including in the south china sea. does this make the philippines safer

access denied, beijing's ministry of defense has given the pentagon, the cold shoulder denying a request to hold a private meeting on the sidelines of an upcoming security for him in singapore. here's the statement given by the us defense department to the wall street journal . overnight. the p r c informed us that they have declined. our early may invitation for secretary austin to meet with p r. c. administer of national defense, leasing food and singapore. this week, the department believe strongly in the importance of maintaining open lines of military to military communication between washington and beijing to ensure the competition does not fear into conflict. a little background on beijing's decision, the binding administration last week. upheld sanctions on the chinese defense minister himself lee shang food. donald trump had initially put those in place for the officials. role in china, person purchasing russian missiles and jets back in 2018. now the rejection comes at a time when us lawmakers have published a controversial list of actions to be taken to prepare taiwan for so c

that beijing has prepared a specific proposal for each country, for example, a visa-free regime withkazakhstan , the completion of the construction of a railway. china kyrgyzstan uzbekistan fourth line of gas pipeline, turkmenistan china the world needs a stable and prosperous central asia no one has the right to sow a role in in the central asian region, perhaps the central statement made during the course of the exercise itself is that in the words of the chinese leader, china and the five central asian countries should jointly implement the global security initiative and resist external attempts to provoke color revolutions. in addition , adhere to zero tolerance for terrorism. by separatism, beijing proposes to develop partnerships in energy, logistics and agriculture on the eve of the summit promised a new era in relations between china and central asia. asia, your opinion is what awaits us in this direction of the strategic perspective. here conceptually goes, firstly, mmm, probably everything, the most. the main thing is that all these countries, including russia and china, se

china has already declared in beijing immediately. takes countermeasures, it will seriously undermine the mutual trust cooperation with china and exacerbate the divided frontation in the world, which is very dangerous, we urge the eu not to go down the wrong path. otherwise. china will surely protect its own justified and legitimate interests and right, that's why the german experts, beijing and the refusal are wondering. receive german finance minister lindber, who was supposed to fly in for negotiations tomorrow, but unexpectedly received a notification from china. that it is better to reschedule the meeting officially for logistical reasons and because of the difficult schedule of the chinese minister, the lukun, but everyone understands lindero, after all, not only is the head of the german ministry of finance also the chairman of the free democratic party of germany, whose representatives do not get out of taiwan, but the fact that european politicians are on the move washington gluing china to russia on ukraine issues beijing is

beijing is not happy at the language thatis beijing is not happy at the language that is being used. years about the us encouraging what they call the cold war mentality, another was the idea you have to choose between either china and the us, although china itself is not above playing that game either. in this case, what they are doing is flagging up to third—party countries, places like the emerging markets of south africa, africa and latin america, that they should not be coerced by american interests into rejecting china. so cold war is the metaphor they are choosing to use at the moment to push back.- they are choosing to use at the moment to push back. thank you so much. professor— moment to push back. thank you so much. professor of _ moment to push back. thank you so much. professor of chinese - moment to push back. thank you so much. professor of chinese politics | much. professor of chinese politics and history from the university of 0xford's china centre. good to have you with us. also at the g7 summit in hiroshima, the british prime minister has been asked about the uk ho

no reaction at all from beijing so far. and as you i beijing so far.rom george gao are clearly against the party line. beijing has pushed back very strongly against any suggestion that the virus might have leaked from a ladder in wuhan. but on the other hand, when you think that in recent years we have also seen from the authorities in china this narrative being pushed that the virus didn't come from china at all. —— from a lab in wuhan. that somehow it came from beyond the chinese borders and it was brought into wuhan, a theory without any foundation, but that's what the chinese propaganda channels have been saying. in that sense, george gao's comments are not as risky as they might appear at first reckoning. really, all he is saying is there is no evidence for a lab, no evidence for a natural origin in a market, we simply don't know, this virus may not have come from china. what would the consequences be if it were to be found out that it was indeed leaked from a lab? , ~' �* lab? pretty huge, ithink. and not 'ust lab? pretty huge, ithink. and notjus

although they are ready to give up, if only beijing is worse, but which, as war shaltains writes.ow he fundamentally refuses to negotiate with his new minister. according to the publication, washington is trying to organize a separate meeting between the heads of the defense departments of china and the united states in singapore at the june security forum, but the chinese side does not make contact, they say, if the united states itself imposed personal sanctions back in the eighteenth year, whether you are against the purchase of russian fighters of anti-aircraft missile systems, what and why then talk at all, moreover they ignore china, not only military communication channels, and in general any and even a conversation with biden from what bloomberg now writes to washington looks like a petitioner in search of the favor of a powerful adversary , the united states cannot simultaneously speak from dialogue on the one hand, and on the other continue to suppress and to contain china, we urge the us to form the right image and respect the red lines. china and taiwan are just the ma

policy, while in beijing , multi- vector policy is very much welcomed.na is just emphasizing when it says that it is against the hegemony of the united states of america, that it is not about what it would like to replace with itself, the existing hegemony with china already for it, but and such a monocentric world around beijing on the contrary, it is precisely at these meetings , including uh, these days they are all very clear che sounds exactly like this understanding of beijing that the world should be without hegemony? that is, this is the multi-vector approach during his visit to china, kassym-jomar tokaev celebrated his jubilee , he turned 70. the president is true to himself, even his birthday is not a reason to change the work schedule without congratulations, of course, it is with them that the chinese presidents sitinping begins bilateral negotiations with the president of kazakhstan 20 documents on cooperation, whether it is pyatin's participation in the development of the transcopian trade route, increasing mutual exports or strengthening c

how has beijing been responding to this alliance?— to this alliance?nce? look, bei'ing through itsfi to this alliance? look, bei'ing through its rhetoric �* to this alliance? look, bei'ing through its rhetoric is i to this alliance? look, beijing through its rhetoric is never. through its rhetoric is never happy when other countries stand up to it, but i think in recent times we've been seeing beijing becoming a lot more realistic in terms of its relationships with countries in the region, including quad countries. so, we have seen the chinese pulling back from its three—year campaign of economic coercion against australia, realising that that campaign didn't work and in fact it was damaging china far more than australia. so, ithink damaging china far more than australia. so, i think that despite whatever rhetoric we may hear from china about the quad, i think it is becoming a lot more realistic that it has to live with the quad is a key part of the pacific.— part of the pacific. david brewster. _ part of the pacific. david brewster, thank - part of the

beijing has already protested against the statement of the republican ramoswami that, following brian'sd for giving each taiwanese family a kalashnikov assault rifle and against the statement of the head of the army headquarters committee, who, although he has compared a possible chinese operation with the landing of the normandy allies so far, does not really see that beijing is seriously preparing. take youtube during the may holidays, which for the first time after the pandemic in china became so massive, it seems that beijing, but not before the external political battles, all the statements made from taipei and washington seem to not notice it, only the chinese army did not notice it until the holidays from the taiwan strait of the chinese military and now they are literally probing chinese fighters do not stop observation flights in the zone strait. today, taipei recorded almost 30 aircraft of the chinese air force in the area of ​​​​the so-called median line. after that , he announced the beginning of his maneuvering authorities, even announced missile tests near the dupin milita

now, time for a little background on beijing's decision. the biden administration last week of health sanctions on the chinese defense minister himself lead shang food. donald trump had initially put those in place for the officials role in china, purchasing russian missiles and fighter jets back in 2018. now this rejection comes at a time when us lawmakers have published a controversial list of actions to be taken to prepare taiwan ford, so called peace by arming the nation. the u. s. congressional committee focused on the chinese communist party released a list of 10, so called recommendations, aimed to preserve peace and stability in the taiwan strait. number one is the manufacturer and supply of more long range missiles to the endo pacific region. this comes as us stinger missiles arrived in taiwan earlier this week, as part of an 8 package promised by washington. chinese foreign ministry, spokes person mounting condemns the move is extremely wrong and dangerous. a meg was showing the us provision of weapons to taiwan gravely violates t

and why such a metaphor finds confirmation in practice is explained by the chief of our beijing bureaubalitsky, the american weapons of other barons of war, and, moreover, that the heads of the 25 largest defense contractors of the pentagon, and with them the retired american generals, did not hide. they're not just here to pump up the island of weapons. well, to establish here and its production. we want to be part of the taiwan self-defense force. we want to make sure that the supply chain is sustainable and that taiwan will remain what the americans are getting at, the taiwanese already understand. the us government is using the topic of taiwan independence to cause a big headache for mainland china on the other side. they sell all sorts of obsolete ammunition to taiwan and earn dozens in taiwan every year. the us has already estimated the current arms contracts with taiwan at $19 billion at billions of dollars, but the same 66 fighters at 16x8 billion never reached the taiwanese air force. despite the fact that the first batch was supposed to be already in the beginning of this yea

fair and necessary today, beijing called the expulsion of the canadian consul to his homeland, such aa mirror response to the announcement of the operational grant of the diplomat , whose prc ottawa jacob is suspected of intimidating a member of the local parliament, as emphasized in the chinese foreign ministry, the country never interferes in the internal affairs of other states. but europe is now clearly going into aggravation, while only for the first a decade of this year, trade between china and russia grew by more than 40% in the eu under the pretext of ukraine, they thought about imposing sanctions against their largest partner in the east, but immediately received an unequivocal warning, a report, by alexander balikov. visit of the head of chinese diplomacy. yes, and on may 9, it hardly promised the germans something good and going out to the brief chinese minister as a gypsy. anna burbuck. well understood china would insist that with its arms supplies, willow and europe stop adding fuel to the fire ukrainian crisis, and it happened. the question for europe and for the whole

is attempting to provoke beijing. the united states is really instigating a proxy war involving the separatists and the sedation is entire one. tried to break taiwan away from china in this way. it is very similar to what the united states and other meant they to remember states have been doing inc, i'm in ukraine and inc, refusing to use the promise and negotiation to seek and to the conflict in ukraine. now this kind of talks to wall seems to be what the united states wall street doing at this particular moment of time, because they can maximize their strategic gains and they can't really push the situation, either eagle crane all across the power straight into an abyss. so i think people in china, including our competitors in taiwan, should be really wary of what the strategic goals of the united states game. i'll make the separatists inc. i one. and we need to spend the to do whatever we can to defend charlo sovereignty over taiwan. and defend the one child, the policy which claims that taiwan is proud of chide. o

of course, beijing wouldn't see it that way.sung, sk hynix, of course, there is something to gain out of these restrictions. we will see how far that goes. as you were pointing out, when it comes to ai demand and nvidia chips, and the hardware it will take to fuel this ai revolution we're seeing now. those are big players and that is where it will hurt the most for china. these are financial -- these are foundational technologies, hence why it is seeking leverage. it may not be limited to the technology space like a micron ban. this is where we need to look at parallel issues like taiwan. rishaad: reva goujon, director at rhodium group joining us. coming up on the program, going to hear from chuck fleischmann, who thinks the debt ceiling deal will clear congress. yvonne: more on that tentative deal between biden and maccarthy. really helping markets this morning. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> the agreement prevents the worst possible crisis, a default for the first time in our nation's history, economic recession, retirement accounts
