and by the time the world found out about it, the virus had spread beyond control, and today the ccp is using concealment tactics to shirk accountability. i will give you a couple examples. it forced an apology and retraction from an eu ambassador who wrote an op-ed saying the virus came from china. it also attempting to shift the blame to the u.s. using state run press outlets on social media to spread disinformation. so let's move on to co-option. their co-option is endless. we have seen china attempting to co-op everything from supply chains to international organizations, attempting to use the u.n. and who to spin a message that it's a generous selfless nation providing hope in chaos. of course the truth is the ccp's humanitarian assistance pales in comparison to its for profit sales of ppe which after about half a billion a day -- adds to about a half a billion a day. in a very real sense china is co-opting the crisis itself to turn a profit. in terms of coercion, we see their so called face mask diplomacy tactics of the ccp is a force for countries to support it. for example cc

even when the ccp takes out prominent journalists from our top newspapers, even when the ccp imprisons a million ethnic muslims, as we saw this past month china ripped crosses off churches and other buildings, it'sdi a sick and twisted syste. it's the soviet union on steroids. we didn't do anything significant vis-a-vis trade with the soviet union, remember? we allowed no student transfers from the soviet union. though soviet students no soviet studentsat top univer. and it worked out best for us. reagan understood we won'tul enrich the ussr, that would be disastrous for us. weea beat them. it was peace through strength. trump has taken important strengths rebalancing our relationship t with china. and the coronavirus hit, courtesy of china. obviously china is hoping at this point for a democrat in the oval office. that's beyond obvious. and we know what a biden presidency would be to the prc, a gift. >> let me be clear. i believed in 1979 adsense and it said so and i believe now that a rising china is a positive development not only for thehe people of china but for the united states

twitter fact checked the president of the united states before it fact checked anybody from the ccp. the chinese foreign minister out there for months spreading lies about the coronavirus and its origins, blaming it on the us military, that did not get a fact checked. who gets fact checked, the president of the united states. >> does that we glorify violence in your opinion? >> donald trump's tweet does not glorify violence. i think he is trying to stand up to violence. i don't agree with this fact check and shows how difficult and murky fact checking is. media organizations struggle with fact checking, don't know why twitter is qualified to be the arbiter of truth. i would caution conservatives in response to this not to move forward too quickly to advocate for any government regulation of private businesses. private businesses can operate under their own policy. one a social media company like twitter decides to operate like a publisher instead of a platform they have to abide by different government regulations, the same as if they decided to be a base, they have to abide by banki

i think it's a good time now, the world, especially america confront the ccp.s is the time to confront china. this is the time to change china in order to change the world. maria: so gordon, knowing that the chinese communist party's goals is to be the number one super power in the world economically as well as militarily and seeing the display that the ccp out there, putting people in jail, they don't want anyone having this free speech, do you think the rest of the world is with the united states on this? do you think that the president has a group of allies, globally to push back against the ccp right now? >> well, i think that across the world and not just the west people agree that something has to be done about china and hong kong has become the flash point. i don't know how far other countries are prepared to go but the one thing we know, maria, is that what is possible changes by the day, so i think that in a short period of time president trump will be able to put together that coalition, because the u.s. is willing to take stern measures and i think t

within hours of his death, by the way, the wave of outrage over ccp's treatment of the doctor spread on chinese social media until the government censored that as well. at the peak of the outbreak, the chinese communist party was reportedly wielding its own people inside their own houses -- welding them inside their own houses. today you better believe the party is training their sights on the chinese survivors, activists and lawyers who dare to seek the truth. outside the borders, china's leaders seem to think they can either charm or threaten the world into submission. they supposedly donated medical supplies to foreign countries that quickly proved faulty and unusable. they threatened to boycott australian beef. they even threatened to cut off pharmaceutical exports to the u.s. so that we would, quote, plunge into the mighty sea of coronavirus, end quote. it's galling but not surprising. this is the same authoritarian regime that's brutalized the weaker people in modern day, that has spent years of cheating its way through international commerce and stealing industrial secrets. no

>> pbs is not working for the ccp.s a part of the cctv broadcast networks which are in china underneath what used to be the state administration or radio film and television, but it's directly under the ministry of propaganda which reports the standing committee of the ccp. when you look at that type of control coming out of that country, it's obvious why that is considered a foreign agent, and that is where pbs needs to differentiate itself. needs to say hello, we support the noncensorship of content here in the united states, and we are going to provide a platform for this content to be aired, but we are letting you, the watcher, the viewer of our program know that this is a foreign agent coproduced program, so it will have angles that you need to be cognizant of. >> tucker: i don't know why the u.s. government is a tv channel anyway. i used to work there, and i never understood that. >> the voa? >> tucker: i used to work at pbs, but i never understood why the government would be paying for it, and i still don't. but

as soon as word got out about this new potentially deadly virus, the ccp began to crack down on jo exahong a few hand " we don't know why some of those infected up on the experience mild cold like symptoms will resolve on their own while a significant minority of those sr infected may have serious symptoms that lead to pneumonia and even death. that's a key fact that a lot of researchers say is essential to the analysis of this disease. the first target was like late december, then it was december 1st and now reports take it all the way back to novemberer 17th. this means that the coronavirus started spreading for weeks before the first cases were officially reported by china. and that brings me to the question, number five. trusting the chinese. as soon as word got out about this new potentially f deadly virus, the ccp began to crack down on journalists for doing their jobs. for example, "the new york times" reported in january that when a group of hong kong journalists went to the wuhan hospital that took in most coronavirus patients, the police detained them for a few hours. they were t

a huge number of chinese students handpicked by the ccp are admitted at universities including harvard. including, by the way, president xi's daughter, who graduated from harvard just a few years back. harvard has even set up an academic center in shanghai and established a harvard-china fund, which supports teaching and research in china and also promotes harvard's presence in china. china has given harvard, as i said, $93.7 million, 200,070 chinese students and scholars at harvard. harvard now has an academic center in china. all of this that we just talked about, this is stunning, stunning stuff. and by the way, harvard's recruitment of chinese scholars and chinese connection. my favorite story. a renowned harvard researcher was busted for allegedly lying about his involvement in a chinese recruitment operation. the prc had paid him $50,000 a month plus living expenses for his work at wuhan university of technology. and get this, he ran his own nano science center at harvard. he's a brainiac. he received $15 million in grants from -- wait for it -- the nih. all the while, he was tak

she wrote, "while the kremlin seeks to disrupt the current world order to accomplish its goals, the ccprately shape it to beijing's advantage. the ccp is employing a whole of government approach using political, economic, military, and information tools to advance its influence." and analysts say covid-19 has pushed china's disinformation to become even more aggressive. >> it's been interesting to see sort of a cross pollination of chinese and russian tactics, to amplify those negative narratives implicating the united states while also trying to play up china's goal as a global leader. >> just this become of the chinese government spokesperson amplified and repeated a russian line of propaganda about u.s. funded labs and the former soviet union. the officials here are the state department took notice. melissa? >> melissa: rich edson, thank you so much. my next guest says it's important for the u.s. to make china pay for the damage it has done to the economy. jordan chang is a longtime asia analyst and the author of "the coming collapse of china." gordon, you've been predicting a lot of

are you expecting to ccp to invade taiwan? >> maria the chinese communist party has been on this effort on this march for an awfully long time. they will certainly use a tactical situation on the ground to their advantage but each of the problems that you identified there are threats that they've been making for an awfully long time. for the first time we have an administration that's prepared to actually respond to say this is unacceptable, and to take responses that are measured , appropriate, but reflect the seriousness for which we take the obligation to protect the american people from these chinese communist party efforts. you talk about using what's going on on the ground today. they are out using disinformation about what's taking place in american cities and trying to equate that somehow to what's happening in hong kong. these are completely different. the rule of law, decent american , all across this country, who were troubled by what happened and they have the opportunity to speak freely about tax none of that is t

i am joined by jenny nelson at the nas ccp's legal defense fund.t do you make of the charges being brought in this case tonight? >> the charges are rather disappointing. we have a single charge of only one of the four officers involved in the brutal killing of george floyd. that officer was charged with the lowest degree of murder that you can charge an officer or anyone for for the crime of mortar. that is third-degree murder. there are only three states in the united states that use third-degree murder as a possible charge for that crime. it does not require the government to prove intent, which is perhaps why they chose to charge him with third-degree murder. if you understand what happened to mr. floyd, if you understand what the officer did it pressing his knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds into the neck of mr. floyd, it is hard to imagine that key did not intend to kill him, particularly if you think that he kept his knee pressed into his neck for more than two minutes after he stopped showing signs of life. anchor: the details and that ch

the ccp for lack of a better word. we can't adopt a one size fits all heavy-handed top-down series of regulations. and how do we instead pursue that incentivizing approach and what we've sort of landed on, there are simple things that we can do to inventize the private sector rather than mandate they do certain things. for example, one of the examples in the report is mandatory penetration testing for publicly traded companies. so that they have to invest more in cyber security. because what we saw time and again is that wherever the c-suite did actually prioritize and take cybersecurity seriously, those companies outperformed their competitors. we would like to, for example, over time, see certain best practices that are emerging right now become the industry standard. so, for example, there's something called the 110-60 rule, where you're able to detect an intrusion in one minute have someone look at it in 10 minutes and isolate and quarantine in 60 minutes. by incentivizing the c-suite to invest in cybersecurity, we

to the chinese communist party that this is not going to be acceptable behaviour, then perhaps the ccpthat the british government is considering a path to citizenship for those that have overseas british nationality. is that a topic of conversation among those know in hong kong, and are some you know interested in taking up that offer and leaving the territory? this was certainly being discussed in hong kong and has been over the years, because we always believe the british government have the responsibility for hong kong people, and i‘m very glad that mr rabb acknowledged the british government‘s responsibility over hong kong people. iam glad government‘s responsibility over hong kong people. i am glad to be na li is also being discussed in the uk government and they are going to extend the period of hong kong people staying in the territory. however, if the situation escalates, i also hope that the uk government can takea i also hope that the uk government can take a step forward and would give holders equal rights to stay in the uk as uk citizens as well,. thank you so much. today b

or the other on that but i would note the trump administration continues to take action to hold the ccp accountable for its highly repressive campaign against the leaders and other religious ethnic minorities. >> in order to achieve herd immunity need about 80% of the people to get this virus. currently only 50% of americans say they will receive it so will the administration make the vaccine mandatory? >> the vaccine, let me know we are working aggressively to get one and we would like to get one by the end of the year and everything does not depend on a vaccine. vaccine is an important component but they are also therapeutic and we are seen there is not necessarily a tie to reopen and increase cases so that is encouraging. i would refer you further to alex lazar who was made extensive comments on the vaccine. [inaudible question] if you don't have herd immunity elderly people will be copper mines and they may not go about their business again. >> i would have to talk to the president. and not talk to him about his views on making it mandatory or not. i would have to get back to you on

for this roger says doctor rice, in your opinion what's the proper measured response of china and the ccpdership who à >> there is both a public purpose and a private part of this. the public part of this i think over the next month is just to let it be known that china responded in a way that it did. or didn't respond lemme put it that way. because the chinese were going to try to create, they're trying to do this now, a counter narrative. when we found out about it and we got on top of it, look how quickly through social distancing and quarantined, look how quickly recovered. and we been helping the rest of the world by sending ppe add by sending help and aid to all the world. there gonna try to shift the narrative. from their initial responsibility not fessing up to what was happening to we got on top of it and then we help the rest of you. that's how they're gonna try to shift the narrative. don't let it happen. we have to have a really honest assessment of how this happened to where it started, when it started, when was the communist party new and why they didn't get out. the other p

roger says your opinion what is the proper measured response to china and ccp leadership? clearly held critical information about the virus and hundreds of millions of deaths and trillions of dollars across the world? >> there is a public part of this in a private part. over the next month, just to let it be known that china responded in the way that it did or didn't respond because the chinese are going to create - trying to create a counter narrative, we got on top of it, look at how quickly social distancing and quarantine, how quickly we recovered and we've been helping the rest of the world by sending ppes and cindy help and aid to all the world, they are going to try to hit the narrative from their initial responsibility for not fessing up to what was happening to we got on top of it and helped the rest of you. don't let it happen. we have to have a really honest assessment of how this happens, where it started, when it started, when the communist party new and that is the public part. the private parties you can't keep doing this. you have to be a more responsible p

the ccp are paranoid about international image and domestic image and the domestic image is the one thatoncerns them the most. that's where the accountability begins and that has already started. we have seen two dozen plus african nations come out against the ccp in china and these are nations that are somewhat behold to go china economically. we have seen the same thing taking place in europe, not to the same degree it is with the united states certainly france and germany while op-ed pieces have been antichina in terms of cause and spread, et cetera, the governments have not been. southeast asia in the pacific region very aggressive. australia is very aggressive. there's a gathering of consensus internationally and that public image that that is affecting china is what they're really pushing back on. they are absolutely paranoid about this. this is their achilles heel, why, it impacts on the support that they need to have from the people and that is what's going on here. inside china, maria, they're telling through state-owned media and videos that xi is a national hero for stopping t

roger says in your opinion what is the proper measured response to china and the ccp leadership who held critical information about the virus and the hundreds of trillions of deaths across the world? >> there is a public part of this and a private part of this. the public part of this over the next month is just to let it be known that china responded in the way that it did or didn't respond because the chinese are going to create a counter narrative. we found out about it, got on top of it, look how quickly through social distancing and quarantine, how quickly we recovered and by the way we have been helping the rest of the world by sending ppes and by sending help and aid, they will try to shift the narrative from their initial responsibility for not facing up to what was happening to we got on top of it and then helped the rest of you. don't let it happen. we have to have a really honest assessment of how this happens, where it started, when it started, when the communist party new, and why they didn't get off it. that is the public part. the private part is you have to say you can't

the head of the state department's global engagement center says the ccp's employing a whole government using political, economic, military, and informational tools. the chinese government campaign is becoming nor stomach more aggressive. >> a new dimension for its information operation. it may become more prominent in an influence campaign in the future as well. >> analysts say beijing is also adopting russian government tactics, leveraging automated bots and trolls on social media to create a feedback loop of disinformation. using american platforms banned in china to do it. u.s. officials point to a chinese government spokesperson tweeting earlier this week that the trump administration should investigate when covid-19 originated in the u.s., suggesting the american government is hiding that information. officials here say while the goal is persistent. to portray china as a global leader, convince them that western allies failed to take care of their citizens. brett. >> bret: thanks. some of the regions hardest hit in the u.s. is some of the country's most popular summer destinations

one of the striking things happening is groups like business or a better world and even the ccp that used to be the center for corporate philanthropy, what i think has happened and the reason i'm optimistic is we have been a dominant ideology that they manage the numbers and it's all about me right now. this is my entire business reporting career maximizing shareholder value. >> and where has that got us? a bunch of people very rich. the rest of society full of anger and of suffering and a decaying planet. it isn't working. one of the reasons i wrote this book is to give cover to business leaders up and down the hierarchy is known for year havs that this was a crazy way to manage and want to manage in a different way and i think we've seen investors shifting and managers shifting. incredible ceo may i say with one of the largest companies in the country, not there, looked around and decided he wanted to see something different because it wasn't working. the health insurance industry wasn't working and he was smart enough to see that the smart enough to see he needed a change and he d

aren't all chinese nationals who come here, aren'tt they all vetted in some way, shape, form, by the ccpwhy not expel all of them, at least temporarily until china somehow changes its tune? >> i'm not surprised to hear that from "the new york times" but we are taking seriously the threat of deeply the chinese state, they shouldn't be here in the school spying. i take seriously the threat of espionage inside our country. we know we have this challenge. president trump, i'm confident, i don't want to get in front of what he wants to say tomorrow. the chinese commonest party has had enormous influence here in the united states.e this isn't red scare, not racist, chinese people are great. people. this t is a tyrannical regime tt poses a real risk to united states and we have a real risk to dutyy coming here, comig to america to learn and benefit we can provide to them aren't acting on behalf of the chinese communist party. >> laura: i don't see how you prevent anyone coming in here from china under the current circumstances not being connected to the chinese government but i will move on. th

a positive case for american global leadership and a contrasting case of what we have seen from the ccp. hawley: let me ask about the vulnerability of our supply chain. the report acknowledged the threat of the supply chain on our ecosystem. i have been an advocate for onshoreng on short -- supply chains. could you elaborate on some of the recommendations and what role do you see the private sector playing? rep. gallagher: absolutely. -- i think it is 4.6 in the report that congress develops -- directs the government to develop a technology industrial-based strategy to ensure more trusted supply chains and the availability of critical information and communications technology. this starts with a simple identification of which technologies are critical and where we have single points of failure in the supply chain so we are not discovering those single points of failure in the midst of a crisis which i would submit we are in in some cases when it comes to advanced pharmaceutical indicators, medical equipment right now. we are asking the federal government with an enhanced commission and

and if president trump chooses to take tiactual steps to hold e ccp accountable for what is likely to be what secretary of state mike pompeo call theed th death nell, that will have adverse consequences for the u.s. businesses. we trade with hong kong. and if president trump does choose to revoke the special status, that would have serious implications for businesses operating in hong kong and as well as trade more generally at a time when the global economy really can't come under more pressure. >> and talk more about the china moves, the so-called security laws. you have proceed democracy activists with mass protests, secretary capompeo called it a death knell. what does donald trump need to say especially given his constant praise of president xi jinping? >> when the history books write the story of this posture towards china, it will be a tale of two policies. we've had various parts of the executive branch take 1eserious steps to punish china, they have taken steps to suspicious china out of various markets here in the united states, they have issued sanctions to hold chinese off

as soon as word got out about this new potentially deadly virus, the ccp began to crack down on journalistsor doing their jobs. for example, "the new york times" reported in january that when a group of hong kong journalists went to the wuhan hospital that took in most coronavirus patients, the police detained them for a few hours. they were then asked to delete their tv footage and hand in their phones and cameras for inspection. and today, china announced that it was expelling american journalists from "the new york times," "the washington post," and "the wall street journal." they cited ideological bias against china, fake news made in the name of press freedom and breaches of ethics in journali journalism. china's motivation here is obvious. it further allows them to deprive us in their own people of real information, accurate information on what the heck is going on and what happened originally with us coronavirus. >> i regret china's decision today to further foreclose the world 'stability to conduct the free press operations. frankly, it would be really good for the chinese people du

china in 2013.na i think the american people need to know who might be shaping biden's policy with the ccpward if he should win heaven forbid in november. >> there are a large number of people, bill clinton excelled at it who enabled china, who separated human rights from trade, he did it on may 26, 1994 and we have never gotten our leverage back, they think we just do it rhetorically and there is no connection for trade or any other kind of carrot or stick. i'll never forget it, bill clinton had the butcher of beijing to the white house and celebrated this man while he was in washington, while he was there, he said nobody died in tiananmen t square. i put together a hearing in two days, invited him to testify, saying you don't get away with lies and beijing in china, you're not going to get away with that. i have people who survived and watched it, the point is the pattern and deception is now having consequences for people in my district, our state, the country, and the world, 10,800 people have died in new jersey, endisproportionately people in nursing homes, this is a tragedy and it's

an internal report from the ccp's state security department warns to prepare for the worst case, an armedtates. joining us to i assess all of this, gordon chang, columnist, author, senior fellow at the gatestone institute and washington times national security columnist bill gertz who has a new book available online tomorrow. good to have you both with us. let me start, gordon, with you. the idea that they are preparing for armed conflict with the united states at least in this report, your reaction to that. >> well, we've seen since the middle of february china increase the tempo of provocations in the south china sea and the east china sea. and they're not only going after adversaries like japan and taiwan, they're also going after their friends such as a malaysia. but also we've seen problems with vietnam, indonesia and the philippines. and this increased series of incidents really is troubling because right now you have voices in china saying that they should attack taiwan. so we've got to be very concerned that we've got to deter china, because this could be where history's next grea

the head of the state department global engagement center telling fox news, quote, ccp ploying government approach using political, economic, military and information tools to advance its influence and analyst say that chinese government campaign is becoming more regressive. >> negative messaging is a new dimension to its information operation that we're seeing unfold today, and that may become more prominent in its influence campaign in the future as well. >> bay yin is adopting russian government tack tucks lerchging automated box and trolls on social media to create a feedback loop of disinformation. and a using american platforms banned in china to do toc officials point to chinese government spokesperson tweeting earlier this week that the trump administration should investigate when covid-19 originated in the u.s.. suggesting that american government is hiding that information. officials here say while the approach evolves goal is king the in beijing portray china as a global leader while the united states and the west take care of their own citizens or help other countries. at the

the reports that the chinese -- the ccp ordered the wuhan laboratory, the virology laboratory there toabsolutely clean out, to destroy all specimens of the virus that they had on happened, all samples from the epidemic that broke out in wuhan, is there any -- have we confirmed that? has the united states government confirmed that? >> lou, i've seen those reports as well. i can't say much about the intelligence we've collected with respect to this. but we know enough now to be confident of this: we saw what they did to the journalists that they kicked out, american journalists they kicked out, we saw what they did to some of the doctors who early on raised the flag and said, hey, with we've got a problem. we saw that they wandered off not to be seep again. we've seen this kind of behavior, this kind of activity. it's what authoritarian regimes like the chinese communist party do. they hide, they dis'em bl, they propagate information that we saw when they tried to pin it on the united states seems like forever ago, but a few weeks back. those are the kinds of things that regimes like thi

and, if president trump chooses to take actual steps to hold the chinese communist party, the ccp, accountable for what is likely going to be what secretary of state michael pompeo called the death knell for hong kong's special status, that will likely have adverse reverberations for the global economy and for u.s. businesses. i think about 1,300 u.s. businesses currently operate in hong kong. we trade with hong kong. and if president trump does choose to revoke hong kong's special status, that would have serious implications for businesses operating in hong kong, as well as trade, more generally. at a time when the global economy really can't come under more pressure. >> yeah. talk a little bit more about those -- those china moves. you know, these so-called security laws in hong kong. i mean, you got hong kong pro-democracy activists calling for mass protest, as you said, secretary pompeo called it a death knell for the city's freedom. that's pompeo, but the key is, what about donald trump? what will he say? what does he need to say, especially given his constant praise of president xi jinpi

two weeks ago senator tom cotton told us that the ccp was trying in many ways to steal medical data from the united states to come up with a vaccine for covid-19 before the united states. my setdown with president trump included this. we discussed ip theft and the pandemic's impact of his relationship with china and xi-jinping. >> secretary pompeo said he had strong evidence it did come from the lab. we've been reporting this every sunday by the way from early on. you also said that you saw evidence. can you tell us anything about the intelligence? president trump: no but we have a lot of information, and it's not good, but you know the worst of all whether it came from the lab or came from the bats, it all came from china, and they should have stopped it. they could have stopped it at that source. i call it the source. right there. maria: but his decision to allow it to escape its borders? president trump: i don't know if they made the decision but it got out of control. i think more likely it got out of control. maria: senator cotton said they didn't want the chinese economy to contrac

maria: that professor was getting paid from harvard and also from the ccp. we'll quick before we go i've got to get your take you mentioned this the last time you were with us that the chinese communist party sent engineers research engineers to some of our leading medical institutions , senator cruz told me last week, m. d. anderson is having a major issue because there are engineers trying to steal information to get china to get a cure for cancer before the united states. do you think they are in our medical institutions right now, stealing science data to try to beat us to a covid-19 vaccine and also, after they steal the data are they then going ahead and filing for patents? their own chinese patents based on the information they got from america. >> maria china is using the exact techniques they've used in an agriculture and semiconductor or computer chip technology to try to steal our most cutting-edge life science knowledge, to include coronavirus information, whether companies are working on therapeutic drugs or vaccines the department of homeland s

him on announcing one way or another on staff, i know that they continue to take action to hold the ccpountable for a highly repressive campaign against other religious and ethnic minorities. >> on vaccines, in order to achieve herd immunity, you need about 80% of people to get this and currently only about 50% of americans say they will receive it. so will the administration make the vaccine? >> let me just note that we are working aggressively to get one and we would like to get one by the end of the year. everything does not depend on a vaccine. vaccines are an important component of this but are also therapeutic. we are seeing there is not necessarily tied to reopening in increasing cases, so that is encouraging. i would refer you further to alex azar and his comments on the vaccine. >> so use your federal powers, how do you encourage people to get this vaccine created elderly people, compromised people may not be able to go about their business again. >> i would have to talk to the president but i haven't talked to him about his views are making it mandatory but i'd have to get bac

. >> i think it's a good time now, the world especially america confronts the ccp.n the chinese economy is at its worst in the last 30 years, and economically and politically i think xi jinping is in a very risky position. this is a time to confront china. this is the time to change china in order to change the world. without changing china, which holds a very opposing value to the world, we will not have peace unless china is changed, to accept the values of the free world. maria: but jimmy, how are you going to get the chinese communist party to change, even in the middle of this pandemic they've cornered the market for productive equipment, they're continuing to steal intellectual property. we've heard that from a number of senators. they want to beat us to a covid-19 pandemic and they have a million uyghurs locked up in camps right now. >> censure them. in the u.s., in the world, sanction their technology, or stop sending technology products to china. so many ways the u.s. can do, to give pressure to china to change. they can do whatever they would like within t

it was founded by the chinese communist party, the ccp. during the economic reforms period, more or less the whole country put a fight. the communist roots, but over the last few years the new president has told everyone to go back to the original roots and intentions. that has set up china and the u.s. to get into this flash of -- clash of ideology and values. , thethat in the background coronavirus crisis has taken all , as clash to the forefront the ramifications from the coronavirus and the different systems have created. in that context, especially given the upcoming reelection faces,e president trump given all the damage the coronavirus has created in the u.s. and beyond, it became very easy scapegoat for president trump to use to mobilize his support try to win more from the larger electorate base in the u.s. how will coronavirus change leadership of china in the longer term? say whether hard to any leadership change at the top will take place in the next five or even 10 years. clearst, i don't see any and real chance for a top lead

urgent situation, so the long-term -- maria: general jack keane this week told me that normally the ccpommunist party, the military action is very active in the region, the south china sea but since covid-19 they've stepped up military action to japan to malaysia to weekend ally resolve in the region and hammer home that china is the dominant force and the u.s. does not have the status it once had is trying to get the message throughout the south china sea. real quick, jonathan, we only have a couple seconds left. how do you think u.s. react to china and how do you move forward knowing what their goals are and that they come in complete conflict with what the president is trying to do with america first strategy? jonathan: this is not a partnership with china. they killed 50 million people in 20th century. we will have to start cutting off capital. maria: okay. jonathan, great to have you, great insight as always from you. we will see you soon, thank you. jonathan ward, stay with us, big show coming up right here. markets are higher. ing. your work is essential. kubota's 1,100 dealers a
