the ccp has taken this global. when offering gold doesn't work, the ccp offers the sword. leaders who stand up to chinese bullying and aggression find themselves on the receiving end of economic coercion. the party tries to aggressively shape this course about china including here at home. we see cornerstones of american life go out of their way to placate the ccp's warped notions of political correctness including on atrocities. the democratic world has an advantage. no country wants to democracy's historically have been far more -- civil society and democratic activism remain the most effective tools to identify and push back against ccp influence. a free and competitive media. journalists are some of the best checks against state curated propaganda as well as useful assets and exposing authoritarian corruption. political parties in countries like australia and lithuania have formed a partisan coalitions to push back against economic coercion. the u.s. must do more to help friendly democracies protect themselves from chinese influence. supporting collective economic defe

you were there watching the ccp march into hong kong, throw freedom fighters in jail.na to account? you've got the securities and exchange commission chairman gary gensler casting doubt that a deal is in the works to keep 200 chinese stocks from losing their u.s. listing. gensler said it's up to chinese authorities and it could be a hard set of choices. >> i think the u.s. needs to drop its allusions. i think there's hope by some people in this administration that china can be a helpful partner with the u.s. and can help us on whether it's climate change or north korea or other issues and this isn't happening. i mean, china is very much pursuing its own interests and those interests are to displace the u.s. it's very clear that the chinese want to drive the u.s. out of the pacific and eventually be able to build a new world order as you said. maria: i just hope investors understand that when they're buying these chinese stocks, they are in effect funding the expansion of the ccp, all of these chinese companies are linked to the ccp and they have a goal of overtaking th

before the protests and certainly the crackdown was that even she didn't paying the sheeping and the ccp of today didn't want to give up the so called goose that laid the golden egg and that by cracking down on freedoms. they could be risking seriously harming or even destroying a key asian financial center than needed those very freedoms and especially the sense of the you know, the british contract law to survive change there and you know what allowed that risk in killing the goose that laid the golden egg to occur and and i've wondered myself lately whether it was inevitable. yeah, well, i can't answer whether or not it's inevitable. i think there's a lot of contingency in history, but i think a couple of factors is great question one is from a macroeconomic standpoint. i think hong kong matters a lot less than it did in 1997. i mean china is what i think it's an 18 trillion dollar economy. obviously second only to the us much larger than japan and yeah the flows that come through hong kong are important. i think much of the you know, technology human know how that's come through hong

eventually xi jinping and the ccp did not want to give up the goose that laid the golden egg at upper cracking down on freedoms they could be risking harming or even destroying a key patient financial center that -- asian financial center that needed those freedoms. the british contract law to survive. what has changed there? what allowed that risk in killing the goose that laid the golden to occur? i have wondered whether it was inevitable? >> i cannot answer if it is inevitable. there is a lot of contingency in history but a couple of factors. one is from an macroeconomic standpoint, hong kong matters a lot less than it did in 1997. china is an $18 trillion economy. much larger than japan. the flows of the condo hong kong are important, the technology and human know-how is important. in a relative since it is much less important than it was in 1997. the more important answer is it shows for the party, staying in power is what they regard as security is more important than anything else. we saw that in 1989 when they killed thousands of their own people, young students who were the c

we talk equivalence, so those ccps still operate with our blessing, if you like, up tojune 2025, butnd i would rather put it the other way. this could be a win—win. what is wrong with a stronger european union on the financial system side of things and financial services and a strong uk? i mean, this isn't, as you frame it, a battle. i mean, there are many things we can fight over, but it's not between the european union and the united kingdom on financial services. and i have a particular responsibility, as i stress, around the resilience of our financial system, and that's where my focus is. well, sadly, commissioner, we have to end there. but mairead mcguinness, it's been a pleasure having you on hardtalk. thank you very much. my pleasure. thank you. hello. the weather has been turning cold and that cold air will continue to sink its way southwards. you can see where the cold air has workers were in across the northern half of the uk, very chilly to start wednesday morning with a touch of frost, ice, and snow showers in northern scotland. we have a band of cloud, rain, sleet, and

the ccp has been stealing intellectual property for decades.into america. it's already been linked to 100,000 deaths in america and now tiktok. can you connect the dots here? >> yeah. well, it's a pattern of bad behavior. you and i were at the border where we basically saw the fentanyl coming through and knowing that it was being made in china. we see them bad actors in so many other areas and now the question is, are they poisoning our own children. look, they limit their own kids to 40 minutes a day on tiktok and they're spreading this garbage out around the world, and look, it's not like it's being solicited, these sex ads, these drug ads, this alcohol. it's getting forced, as soon as you open an account, it gets force-fed to you. so you know, just like, maria, the world is banding together to fight against russia's aggression against ukraine, maybe the world needs to get together and start fighting china's aggression through its apps and some other things it's doing. maria: i would like to see that since we know the ccp's main goal is to ov

and so from 1923 through 1949 when the communist revolution happened in china what you had was the ccp was slowly putting out this narrative that the wilmington put out a flag. that was five stripes of all these different colors. i don't know what the colors specifically but these five stripes are to represent all of the different possible races and views of china inequality and they came up with this concept called warren, which means chinese person kind of in sort of shorthand slang or whatever and so the ccp started selling this narrative that no, you're not truly chinese people. there are 55 racial minorities in the chinese province's and you are actually being assimilated into han chinese racial dominance and they started this whole thing and they had these same concepts han supremacy being a good han as opposed to you know, a bad han or whatever and we have these same concepts and critical race theory white supremacy being a good white trying to appease racial minorities or whatever happens to be good. white liberals is a is their favorite hobby horse to attack so they actually u

now the ccp keeps twistingif the knife on biden. stephen , this is the editorialr from the chinese basically media oregon globalba times. it's's brutal judging fromst the posture it is the u.s. that needs to ask china forth help in the context of russiae ukraine conflict. and it went on to say variousar otherio things about how this whole thing unfolded, saying the united states essentially how dare you think that you can swing around your influence in the world like what gives states this idea that you're this strong power? now it was it was super humiliating to have that kind of commentary come out of this meeting. >> so what's the point of this meeting if it ended up just being another moment for china to humiliatehu us ? there's been tt a whole series of meetings like that between china and thehe united states since the biden administration took office. who could forgetmik office the a meeting at which our secretary of state was harangued for minutes on end about all ofpr the problems of america and how americaob should try to d

right on cue, the ccp propagand outfit did just that. although the ukraine issue was priority for the u.s. during tuesday's meeting to pressurize china to take a stand, it seems that the attempt has been unsuccessful. it means that the goal of the u.s. for this meeting has failed . here now is peter, hudson institute senior fellow. this was an embarrassment. jake sullivan might have had good intentions going here, but he will deal with one person an will deal with the president of the united states. he will not deal with jake sullivan. this is all just smoke and mirrors meaning nothing. why do you think china made it clear point to brush off the ukraine issue in their state media report on this meeting? >> war at the time is a clarifying moment. the chinese have faced a choice that could work with the west against russia or work with russia against the west. economics would suggest that they would work with the united states and europe. they need our advanced technology to power their economy and their economy is lagging at present. beij

it's not just ccp, it's the issue we had with hunter's involvement in the ukraine.onder if that's sort of the understanding that the biden administration was so apathetic before hand what was happening with ukraine and russia. there's so much that needs to be unpacked that would be unpacked under any administration except for this one because they know they can't pressure this one because the biden administration is clueless and a they're showing it to the world and the media is trying to prop them up. maria: yep, all of these political hacks on cnn acting as, quote, unquote, journalists. thanks very much for weighing in and for your leadership throughout all of this. doug collins coin joining us this morning. coming up, the crypto craze hits the global stage as president zelenskyy makes it widely available in ukraine. one expert weighs in next on crypto. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. what if you were a major transit system with billions of passengers taking millions of trips every year? you aren't about to let any cyberattacks slow you

maria: jonathan, do you expect the ccp to try to a acquire taiwan at some point, invade taiwan? it absolutely clear that they intend to do that. the timing at some point in the decade, whether that moves forward or backwards, that's really up to us. we get a vote in that in the sense we can provide lethal we upon -- weaponry to taiwan, we can build in support structures in the building to make it incredibly costly to the pl apta and finally china gets to watch now, they're watching their strategic partner under the full force of western economic warfare and i think that must give them pause to some degree and if putin is going to lose on the battlefield which is just as important, if we're able to continue to support the ukrainians who have done this valiant job in fighting off the russian invasion, that also sends a signal. we have to remember, this is a joint strategic partnership. they're probing in europe, probing in say shaft that's exact -- asia. that's exactly what they said they were going to do and detearrepublicans -- deterrencee theater does have an effect on another.

things in their market , all that did was allow china to come in to expand the technological arm of the ccp. while we're trying to spread our values their, whether you support that are not, our viewpoints on this are completely wrong. putin is not dumb. part of the commonest manifesto says what is 100 million people to the march of progress. these people are saying he won't nuke his own people, i highly doubt nukes will ever get launched again. this is the western perspective of things. you're talking to a person who was not born in america. you're looking at this from a western perspective. he's not going to nuke anyone and a set of fighting this war on the ground, we need to fight this economically. host: let's hear from brent, a line for democrats in maryland. caller: good morning. i want to act on what frank said. i think the tenor of what's going on here is based on putin's pace, not joe biden's. and i think we can all ask a question what do we do or what should joe biden do or what would anyone do. and i think europe is acting and i think biden was right there in poland right beside u

the ccp having supported russia in so many ways. does this worry you? >> absolutely, it worries me and it should worry the biden administration. we saw this before the start of the winter olympics when putin met with xi and it was clear that there was some accommodation from xi in support of what putin was planning to do in in ukraine, probably putin took it further than xi and the chinese communist party ever expected but the possibility as reported this week that china's going to reinforce russia, they're going to give them military aid is an expansion of that relationship and an escalation of this conflict and the national security advisor, jake sullivan, met with his chinese counterpart over the weekend to make it clear that will not be tolerated. those are the right words. it needs to be backed up with deed. maria: yeah. i mean, and then, you know, there's the news that we've been covering that saudi arabia is considering accepting the yuan instead of dollars for chinese oil sales, this wall street journal exclusive. this is one of those worries th

and the regime led by the ccp and how about in the us that stay if the chinese want to actually be a major power on the world stage and want to be what we used to refer to the bush administration or responsible stakeholder. china certainly needs to step up to the plate. and remember, russia invaded a nother united nation number a sovereign country, a country by the way, that china has a very good relationship with a country that when b r i back in 2017, i'm not mistaken. and we see the brutality of the russian invasion that in my opinion, the chinese are complicit it because at a minimum they knew that the russians were going to do that based on their own intelligence capabilities and their own. a very special relationship with russia and theresa, i'm going to go ahead and give you a chance to respond. i also saw that you were nodding along somewhat high, no set as well. so please go ahead and jump in. i mean, i think beijing is trying to do a very carefully cultivated ambiguous pose. and this one of their number one foreign policy issues is not to use force to change orders. so russ

role and when i say that, it reflects very clearly on china, its leadership, and the regime led by the ccpd how it voted in the u.n.. it abstained. if the chinese want to actually be a major power on the world stage and want to be what we used to refer -- the bush administration in a responsible stakeholder, china needs to the plate. remember, russia invaded another united nations member, a sovereign country. a country by the way that china had very good relationship with. a country that joined the ri back in 2017 if i am not mistaken. and we see the brutality of the russian invasion that, in my opinion, the chinese are complicit in, because at a minimum, they knew that the russians were going to do that. based on their own intelligence capabilities and their own very special relationship with russia. host: teresa i'm going to give you a chance to respond. i also saw that you were nodding ahead to some of what he said as well. so just go ahead and jump in. teresa: i think beijing is trying to do a very carefully cultivated ambiguous pose. and one of their number one foreign policy issues i

the ccp has committed every crime in the book. intellectual property theft, economic espionage, manipulation, even using slave labor. no country has been harmed more by china and its crimes in our own -- dan our own. china entered the wto in 2001 and there was a falling out of america's industrial base in the working class. in many states like mine, we lost a quarter of manufacturing jobs. factories closed. family splintered and opportunities crumbled. the opioid crisis filled the void left in so many lives in the name of security and fairness and justice -- it is time to end our economic reliance on china. [applause] it is time to decouple our supply chains but decoupling is not enough. we must band investment in china -- and restoring u.s. factory and jobs and punish off shoring to china. we need to suit -- scrutinize chinese investment in america much more closely.

i think it reached critical mass in terms of public understanding regarding the ccp and holding yet anothere ioc's website. they lay out their whole commitment to human rights and make the obvious point that they can't change the internal workings of any nation, but what they are free to decide is where they hold the olympics and what the ioc is free to decide going forward, given not just russia's actions on the international st stage, but nonetheless, russia a consistent violator of the spirit of the olympics. so if they wanted to do something, instead of saying well, we feel badly for the athletes and everybody does because they're exploit d, and letting them compete under a euphemism, they ought to consider banning russia from the summer games in paris and winter game to follow. for years and years and much of the international community applauded it, they kept south africa out of the olympics because of its apartheid policies. certainly russia's transgressions rise to a level where they could be banned for a considerable period of time. >> another country whose transgressions rise to t

of thousands of dollars a month to go teach over there but basically transfer that technology to the ccp the chinese researchers that are all over by the hundreds of thousands are institutions here and the justice department is no longer going to investigate and it is the most massive transfer of wealth and technology to an adversary i think in modern history and the department of justice is just walking away. it's really outrageous and then biden -- spent many minutes on made in america. it's a lot of talk. let's get back to the trump actions in terms of bringing that manufacturing back home and incentivizing it and driving the agenda, again, it was just a lot of rhetoric. maria: yeah, and i know that you're going to be working with the judiciary committee in terms of investigating why the doj is stopping this probe into china's theft. we will talk with jim jordan coming up in the program about that. in terms of made in america, it's a great point because i mentioned the other day, here we are in the middle of a war in ukraine and we are reliant on oil from russia. do we want to wait un

nothing peculiar about his middle-aged son coming along and being introduced to all the higher ups at the ccp for joe biden to be shaking their hand of of hunter biden's new chinese business partner who tipped him into this enormous deal this firm that he was given a 10% stake in for nothing and that ended up in 2019. it had two and a half billion dollars worth the funds under management. and the other thing is that from the laptop. we know that i didn't financially benefited personally from hunter biden's business deals, so we don't have a lot but there is a little bit and it's very -- and that is that there were shared bank accounts. they were shared debit cards, and there was also some evidence of that that hunter biden was actually paying the household bills for joe biden there was a monthly at&t phone bill just a couple hundred dollars, but there were all so some evidence of bills for maintenance on his mansion one of his mansions in delaware. so, you know retaining wall being fixed some paintings some shutters being repaired air conditioning being replaced in a cottage on the grounds, y

he thinks the ccp is unsettled? are they unsettled in any way, shape, or form by what is happening? >> this is part of a broader narrative that china is trying to distance itself from russia so we should be supporting the chinese. this is so wrong. if china was unsettled to borrow the word, they would stop buying russian commodities. the oil, the gas, the wheat, the coal. they wouldn't be trying to buy these russian companies to be a short-term rescue of vladimir putin. this is a political class that has an unbreakable view that china is the savior of the world or at least that we have to obey china, this is just -- what do you say? >> laura: breathtaking ignorance or purposeful venality. neither is good, they are both bad. gordon, you're good, thank you for joining us. still ahead, a report about how russian recon groups might have already started the offensive on kyiv. plus we want you to know about the horse being inflicted on our own citizens so we have a shocking story out of sacramento and if the infuriating m
