she represents ccp more than the people living in chinatown. an f.b.i. investigation shows she was a liar for cheating a low income center. i wish you could make aways decision tonight because this decision not only for people living in chinatown but also for you and the people you love. it is a moral standard for children, grandchildren and for the future of society. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good evening.

the 70th birthday celebration as the ccp gets ready for the streets.

it does not mean let's rule under the way one country system or beijing's ccp rule but somehow that's an improvement. everything is optimistic in beijing that there's improvement. finally, after 30 years of going the other way but in the last 13 weeks with hong kong's protests this is all come back and the polls snapped back right to original. basically there's no single digit number all of taiwan who claim the chinese and low single digits less than 2% for a decade of people who support unification. this trend is much more focused on young people who think on the other side of the extreme. >> i have more questions but go ahead. >> i would ask how do you think beijing reset polling data in less than 10% supporting in a vacation. >> supporting unification less than 2%. it's very disappointing. i would just say to complement my colleagues in beijing they know the polls better than i do to the decimal. it is not that they don't see in this not a failure of intelligence but it's a failure to comprehend seeing the same number as we do here with the commissioners they say they see the same

-china relationship but it is a good thing for the ccp. earlier, we were discussing whether or not the almostispute has become indistinguishable from a broader struggle for soprano see. is this more about the u.s. trying to lean on china's rise? four is a just a trade deal that can be worked out with a few more rounds of negotiation? anne: it really kind of looks like the former at the moment. think the u.s. administration seems to be quite confused about its motivations and goals. i think the trade deficit which was the original goal of the trade negotiations to reduce, i think the trade deficit is really a sideshow. i think the important thing is the technology relationship. that's what china cares about. china would allow all of the exports of shoes and toys and rubber products to the united states, they would allow them to go bust. they don't really care. i mean, the chinese leadership. what they really care about is semiconductors and technology. paul: this latest report that we have had that the u.s. may start to restrict chinese com

this will require creative thinking to flip the script on the ccp's efforts to coerce chinese students and researchers to bring home early stage research in key technologies. leverage,lies on its including families back home, to force individuals with access to federally funded research -- since this research to return to china for the transfer of such technologies. consideredactually expanding asylum access to include chinese students and their families if they were threatened? it would not be a guaranteed deterrent, but it might create in the minds of the communist party that they would have to rethink the current tactics. but we need to do more than just play defense against china's tactics. this should serve as a wake-up in support ofze maintaining our competitive edge. the 20ic moment for first century. in 1957, a successful launch of sputnik actually shocked the american people and our making morento investments in science education, stem research, and a host of other technologies. autnik demanded, required quick response, and it led to american leadership for the next 70 years.

this will require creative thinking, to flip the script on the ccp's efforts to coerce chinese students and researchers to bring home early state research and key technologies. beijing relies on its leverage including families back home to force individuals with access to federally funded sensitive research to return to china for the transfer of such technologies. what if we actually considered expanding asylum access to include chinese students and their families if they were threaten. it wouldn't be guaranteed to term but it might be enough doubt in the mind of the communist party they might have to rethink the tactics. this should serve as a wakeup call to mobilize in support of maintaining our competitive edge. actually, a spotnick moment for the 21st century. remarkable investments in education, stem and a host of other technologies. sputnik demanded a quick response, and it led to america's leadership literally for the next 70 years. we not only generally invented or not invented here but we often set the standards. over the last 60 years we've seen the integrated circuit, wireles

remember the ccp, they are experts in bar bearian management, right?ary countries. >> hold on i'm sorry, i have to get -- is warren the prospective nominee at this point or is it still biden? >> i don't agree with matt drudge yet if you look at -- matt has a tremendous sense of news but if you look at her speech down here at washington square park which is quite dramatic, it's really trump light. now we're seeing -- if that's the case, you're going to have populist nationalism versus populist socialism her speak is really trump light. taking peter schweitzer, my government accountability i talk about trading, i think she's clearly defined where the energy is i think biden because of china, and i think this is why trump has shifted this discussion and china is going to be the framing device for the 2020 election the geopolitical concerns of the nation >> that was my question, though. do you believe that the trump base looks at china the way you look at china, which is to say if you're a farmer, soybean farmer or anybody else in the middle of the country

all that said, maria, ccp has been in charge day in and day out in hong kong now for some time, they'vepolice advisers on the ground there that are really calling the shots and obviously we know we -- they have military in the wings prepared to react if they're called into deal with this demonstration, but they're in charge of it and i think we've gone into a new phase, maria. maria: what is the new phase right now, give us your sense of where we are with this? this is the 13th week. >> yeah, the new phase is they are outwardly arresting leaders of the dem demonstration as best they can determine who they are. young people's movement who are organizing the demonstration and they have many involved in that as opposed to one or two leaders themselves, but that -- that is a sign that the ccp is going to begin the crack-down, if china can take the leaders away, something that's been proven when you are putting protests down, that does in a sense undermine the protest itself but with this -- with hong kong people and how strongly they feel about this, i don't think arresting the leaders is g

chinesestic focus among policymakers underscores that directly influencing ccp behavior for the economy or otherwise is highly difficult. in my view, the most reliable way to adjust to the economic rise will be to invest in american competitiveness. this means prioritizing investment in the american education system in science and technology. while such investment should always the a priority, making these investments now is more critical than in the past because of the heavy emphasis china is placing on improving its own education, especially in the sciences. thank you very much. i appreciate the opportunity to speak to you this morning on this important issue of how the tray were is affecting china. -- the trade war is affecting china. i would like to focus on four trends i see emerging. let me preface my remarks by putting forth one caveat that speaks to the point that was just made. it is difficult to disaggregate the effects of the trade war, trade frictions from what is taking place domestically in what was already a slowing chinese economy. please understand that what i'm talking

according to ccp, two people were in the car. one fired at the two agents.as hit and the other officer returned fire shooting and killing the gunman. first responders brought that injured officer to the hospital, but he is expected to be okay. >> to my understanding, he's already been released, that the gear worked as it was supposed to. he suffered, i think, very minor injuries physically of course, we don't know what else is going to happen there, but it looks like he's going to be okay. >> the second person in that car that was pulled over was taken into the custody. the whole incident is under investigation by the fbi, texas rangers and custom and border protections office of professional responsibility. so far no agency has answered our questions as to why those agents pulled that car over in the first place. we don't know the identity, gender or citizenship status of anyone there. the officers have not been named. we're hoping for more answers pretty soon. leland: we're working our sources here in d.c. as well. back to you as details warrant. thank you

the domestic focus among chinese policymakers underscores directly influencing ccp behavior and policy decisions toward the economy or otherwise, via u.s. policy actions, is highly difficult. in my view, the most reliable way to adjust to china's economic rise will, therefore, be to invest in american competitiveness. this means prioritizing investment in the american education system especially in science and technology. while such investments should always be a priority, in my view, making these investments now is even more critical than the past because of the heavy emphasis that china is placing on improving its own education system, especially in the sciences. thank you. >> thank you, mr. polk. thank you very much, vice chair cleveland, commissioner fiedler, members of the commission. this really important issue of how the trade war is affecting china. in the time allotted to me, i'd like to focus on three, four, trends that i see emerging, but let me preface my remarks by putting forth one caveat which i think speaks to the point that mr. polk just made is it's difficult to disag

what is the state of the ccp right now?n any ray related -- in any way related to the generational shifts in that museum? elizabeth: that is one of the things xi jinping has tried to do really from the first minute he took power in 2012, to connect the current china to the past. tom: did he succeed? -- ineth: i think in any a better way than anybody anticipated. he really has gone back to the mao era. much of what he has done is reminiscent of sort of a mao-era politics, sort of a deepening role of the party into chinese society come into the chinese economy. the mass campaigns, the cult of personality, very much reminiscent of mao. speaking for those of us in the united states in the west, what he has done is relatively unattractive. we would not look back at the mall period with -- the mao period favorably. francine: thank you both. elizabeth economy, director for asia studies at the council on foreign relations, and ian shepherdson. we are looking at what is happening in france. , former president jacques chirac's coffin

they had many involved in that as opposed to one or two leaders themselves, that's a sign that the ccpo begin the crack-down. >> how about in property tax to include -- stock portfolios, the yachts, okay, that's all. [applause] >> so, okay, so by the way, i'm not proposing to wealth tax because i'm cranky. maria: the diamonds, the yachts, confiscate wealth, start now, herman, what do you think? >> it's classic class warfare. >> johnson and johnson did not cause opioid crisis, unable to find a victim that was impacted by johnson & johnson product. maria: more than just a store, it is experience for shoppers certainly in new jersey. [laughter] maria: i like it. we trust usaa more than any other company out there. they give us excellent customer service, every time. our 18 year old was in an accident. usaa took care of her car rental, and getting her car towed. all i had to take care of was making sure that my daughter was ok. if i met another veteran, and they were with another insurance company, i would tell them, you need to join usaa because they have better rates, and better service.

has the rig threats may be blunt tools but the kind of tactics necessary to get the attention of the ccpraleigh grew up in communist china before coming to the u.s. as a student. she is here to discuss it. helen, thanks for joining us, and we are going to expand what you wrote about. a lot of people think we are in -- okay. about the column, a lot of people think we are spiraling out of control but you think it's a spiral we have to go through? >> thank you for having me, brian. one quick correction. did i not write that op-ed. it was written by a chinese blind lawyer. i kind of agree with him. that tariffs and the trade wars are bold move by the president. but it's unfortunately necessary. because the previous administrations from president clinton to president obama's have failed to address the trade deficit her and address fair trade practice from china which led to today that one out of five u.s. companies claim they intellectual properties to china which resulted in 500 billion-dollar loss and trade deficit. brian: at love those companies were plat out greedy, whatever it takes to m

directly influences ccp behavior and policy decisions toward the economy and otherwise via u.s. policy actions is highlight difficult. in my view would be to invest in american competitiveness, prioritizing investment in the american education system especially in science and technology. while such an investment should be an always be a priority in my view, it's more important than in the past, chinese's investment in the education system especially in the sciences. thank you. >> mr. economy. >> thank you vice-chair cleveland, fiedler and the commission. and how the trade war is affecting china. in the time allotted to me i'd like to focus on three, four trends i see emerging, but let me preface my remarks by putting forth one caveat i think speaks to the point that mr. polk just made, it's difficult to disaggregate the effects of the trade war, right, trade frictions from what's taking place domestically and what was already a slowing chinese economy. please understand in my remarks i'm talking about an added layer of pressure that comes from the trade war, not the direct impac
