will nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. you says that russian chinese relations can be explained by the fact that both states show a similar vision of multiple the world. or i think the year of the target audience is, of course, not only the 2 countries, people of russia and china, but also to the rest of the world, naturally shows china's resolve to seek for a better understanding with the rest of the world, which this announcement that china believes in peace. china believes that the relation was russia really reflects the core interest, respecting of the core interest of the respective countries. so this is something that i think a lot of friends in other parts of the world need to understand that when it comes to relations between china and russia or our 2 countries do have a lot in common, not only in economic or you know, dependence interdependencies but also are about our view towards the future of a multi polar world. i stickin with china, the country is expressed anger over washington's authorization of up to $1000

a colonel is a senior advis at the center for international studies and a veteran.er months of delays, it looks like the united states is planning to send the patriot missile systems. in your opinion, what difference could that make to the war because there is the training involved and it has limited effectiveness. >> this is an important step, it will help but we have to recognize it is very limited. it will protect one city maybe the capital. it's going to take a long time to train in the system. the maintenance schoolhouse takes about 50 weeks to train up and maintain. the ukrainians will probably speed that up. this is a very complicated system that requires a lot of expertise that will take some time for the ukrainians to get ready to operate it. >> in the meantime, you have president zelenskyy a other ukrainians saying russia is preparing a large offensive in the new year. what is your assessment of russia's capabilities to conduct a successful operation at this point? >> the russians have taken a lot of casualties and their units have been bled white, they ar

have to wait and see if that transpires, nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. pleasure, as always, to have you on the program. thank you very much for your time today. thank you. ah, on the fights of mama war veterans who stood up against british colonialism in kenya back in the 1950s is far from over. even today, this week they asked the canyon president to demand compensation from the u. k. governments which westminister has pledged several times but so far failed to deliver wave yo, we are calling on the current government's antennae are to ensure they keep on press and the british government so that the mom, all that strengths and their siblings can receive compensation. while in advance, the british governments agreed and $9059.00 to pay the compensation than pledge to do so again in 2003 and once more in 2007. so the concerned parties should sit down and come up with a conclusion for the veterans. we don't know why it's taken too long for the agreement to be implemented. we are requesting to be paid the full amount from the world bank 3 trillion dollars.

nelson, long vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. thing tag, say, the world should pay close attention to japan as it builds up its military in japan is using what they call strategic challenge from china to increase its defense budget. and this is something that i think the rest of the world will have to watch very closely because japan is not supposed to to do that. and it's cost to ship. and this is an obvious pushing of the envelope using something that doesn't really make sense. it's not that china is going to respond. china should not be the only countries i respond to this happening. i think most of the countries, all of the countries in the region in the, in that just to have a clear memory of what happened during the 2nd world war. and they should all come up to, to respond to, to this upcoming incident. the u. k. prime minister has reportedly ordered an audit to the countries on supplies to ukraine. the movie said to have spunk, face their wishes tonight could flash military age to kiev, which is already suppose $3000000000

i spoke with nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. thing time, we expect the focus on the 2 nations economic partnership to continue the world is definitely developing towards multi polarity and that's for sure. and i think china is a one upcoming big power and of russia is also won. so of the days when there is one superpower, which is the u. s, that is actually history. so where we have to face the reality. so it's very important that countries like a china and russia being the major players in wild politics, should come together and polk. and i hope more emphasis should be placed on the economic cooperation between the 2 countries. because russia is now in the process of a restructuring, it's overall economic structure as a country instead of relying only on oil and gas export, which is a fundamental step in russia's economic development. and that's where china is supposed to be able to offer some assistance, not only a for export, but also for investment as well. so there is a lot to be expected and down the line between the 2 coun

straining beijing's relations with washington, nelson, wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies, says the u. s. use as taiwan as a tool and it's multi level strategy with china. where i think it's quite apparent that her the taiwan strait or is not at peace or the moment. and the main reason we all know that it's because the u. s. is making use of this tie one issue and trying to to, to play this card. so hard her as to, to irritate china or butter. on the other hand, their government has repeatedly said that they respect the one china policy that they do not seek or taiwan independence. they won't assist, tie one independence, but what they do and what they say they don't actually match. so of course, the chinese government is quite unhappy about this, and we've already been seeing a spokesperson from china's defense ministry making of our position very firm or so. let's see, let's see. but i hope that during the meeting of us, sir, secretary of state blinkin, when he visits china, matters like this will be discussed. the importance of us china relations has seen a decrease ove

what else was the vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies that says the us uses tie one is a tool that it's multi level strategy with china. what i think is quite apparent that the taiwan strait is not at peace at the moment. and the main reason we all know that it's because the u. s. is making use of this tie one issue and trying to to, to play this card so hard as to, to irritate china. but on the other hand, the government has repeatedly said that they respect the one china policy that they do not seek taiwan independence. they won't assist pie one independent, but what they do, what they say they don't actually match. so of course, the chinese government is quite happy about this, and we've already seen spokesperson from china's defense ministry making of our position. very fun. so let's see. let's see. but i hope during the meeting of u. s. a secretary of state blink, when he visits china matters like this will be discussed in the eyes of the chinese people, the importance of us. china relations has decreased over the past year and is not less than 37 percen

now some long vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies, thing tank stays the world, should pay close attention to japan as it builds up its military. japan is using what they call a strategic challenge from china to increase its defense budget. and this is something that i think the rest of the world will all have to watch very closely because japan is not supposed to do that under its constitution. and this is an obvious pushing of the envelope using something that it doesn't really make sense. it's not that china is going to respond. china should not be the only country that i respond to this happening. i think most of the countries or of the countries in the region in the, in asia are just to have a clear memory of what happened during the 2nd world war. and that they should all come up to, to respond to, to this upcoming incident was always a confined to the latest news updates on our website r t dot com. thank you for joining us there. and i seem to nation today ah, ah, needs to come to the russian state. little, never the i'm tired of, i'm phoning santini with

let's discuss these developments with nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies. many, thanks for joining us on the program this evening. so what do you make of these latest statements and moves by canada? what sort of business does the north american country even have they will, china considers its own territorial waters. it's. it's actually quite bothersome to see the latest developments between china and canada, particularly since they have released the latest security paper. and also the recent remarks by the defense minister, and i think we are, there are a couple of angles we should look at while discussing about the issue here. first thing is about the sovereignty, because sings will recognize that there is only one. china and taiwan is plot of china. and china is going to clean. china has sovereignty over the taiwan strait. but in the meantime, china has also declared quite publicly that under the international law or china does respect the free navigation of vessels coming through the taiwan strait and as always, being the case. so this is one thing that

oksana batertenko spoke on this topic with edward chao, an analyst at the us center for strategic and international studies. who has been researching the energy market of the region for more than 40 years. do you think that these measures will allow us to achieve the goal that the authors hope to maintain the flow of oil on market but do not allow russia to receive excess profits why is this confusing and disturbing $60 per barrel is much higher than as far as we know russian oil is sold now on the market russia had to agree to significant discounts after the unprovoked and brutal attack on ukraine and the discount ranges from $20 to $30 per barrel, but world prices were growing, therefore, despite the discount, russian revenue from oil sales was not much affected by the last market data indicate that russian oil is sold in the baltic ports for a little more than $40 per barrel, why set the price for level of 60 dollars if it will not have a significant impact on russian oil revenues at this level, russia can simply this crocman the us treasury department says that a sufficiently high limit will prevent fu

another long-standing problem in the energy sector, corruption , the analyst of the center for strategic and international studies of the usa, edward, is convinced a show that knows well ukrainian difficulties in the past, the reason for corruption was that the government manually controlled the energy industry, set energy prices, this gave opportunities for corruption and business groups controlled the sector, but ukrainians now, when it came to the army, showed that with the help of a strong civilian sector, they can create effective state institutions , besides, the country will need money, it will need a lot of financial assistance from the west. and money always comes with certain conditions, so i think that ukrainian government officials must also understand that future agreements will include money from western taxpayers and they may look completely different from the past energy integration will drag down the entire ukrainian economy , experts are convinced anderson - predicts that if ukraine quickly adopts common legislation of the european union, it can become a member of the eu as early as 2030 natalka

nelson wong, a vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies, told us that canada's actions are understandable as not every country has an independent foreign policy. the chinese government has recently made quite a few statements in response to the actions from canada stating, childless position once again very clearly and quite bluntly as well. so i hope that, you know, the canadian government will take the message, but in the meantime we do understand that not every country is absolutely independent when it comes to it's foreign policies and everything. so i just said with degree whatever canada is doing, it is kind of understand a historic growth have penalty victory over fame. has morocco fans pouring into the streets across europe? the match finished 00 after extra time with morocco defeating spain, $3.00 to 0 on penalties. it was the 1st time the country had ever reached the quarter finals of the tournament and increased police presence was deployed to prevent any escalation from celebrating morocco fans. the next match for the moroccans will be again

united states of america to nato julien smith during a speech at the washington center for strategic and international studiese ambassador said that according to the data of american intelligence, the aggressor country is not preparing to use nuclear weapons and added that even then the official washington will continue to inform the russian military - of the political leadership about the unprecedented consequences that will await moscow if it does decide to use this deadly type of weapons and it does not matter where it is she will decide if she decides to use it in ukraine , in europe, or if it will hit further, the consequences will be, as she emphasizes, unprecedented. well, in conclusion , i will not be original again today, because everything was burning, burning, burning in russia, this time in st. petersburg, on one of the streets on which it is located well, a fairly well-known factory called zvezda. so, according to the russian media, it burned for about two hours on an area of ​​about 200 m² . in the video that you will see later, there is no open fire , you can only see how the fire is extinguish

about 1 billion dollars, the cost of launching one missile, according to the center for strategic and international studiesges of the system, it can be used to shoot down drones the rockets with which the russian military attacks the civilian infrastructure of ukraine are ineffective , the experts of the kremlin center have already reacted to the alleged supply of the patriot mirror to ukraine, the deputy head of the security council of the russian federation, dmytro medveev, said that the complexes will become a legitimate target for the russian military, the press secretary of the pentagon, petrahedr, noted in response that the united states does not will allow russia to dictate what military aid to give to ukraine, today these complexes are in service with 16 countries of the world, including germany, sweden, spain, israel and romania maksym hrabovskyi radio svoboda well, now more details about the military aid that ukraine can receive after zelensky's current visit to the united states, what significance this aid will have for strengthening ukrainian positions, and what kyiv hopes for, my colleague sof

, competitive internationally, without the least is according to the us based center for strategic and international studies in the latest report funded by amazon and space tags. the report labels, china as the main player who could undermine the u. s. dominance in the broadband constellations and notes that while basing expanded interest the cost developing countries, washington should continue to cooperate with relevance commercial companies and increased regulation in the industry. earlier we spoke to the director of the china national association of international. so this he says that china isn't interested in the space race with the u. s. and the global powers should 1st and foremost have respect for other nations. it is completely absurd for anyone to believe that china wants to replace the united states as the next. the super power of the world. china wants to embrace every other country as an equal rather than trying to impose it's a fuel on top of any other country in the world, including the united states. canada has be a major force for market economy and a free trade. china is the largest tradin

joining me now is the director and senior fellow of the africa program at the center for strategic and international studiesr being here. i want to start by talking about africa's potential. collectively, the 54 countries there have 3.7% gdp, real gdp growth last year. and yet the country that seems to be trying to take the most advantage of the opportunities on the continent is china. they're being very aggressive. they're sort of all over countries like the democratic republic of congo. why do you suppose that is? congo produces 70% of the world's cobalt, you know, it's a country that has huge resources. why do you suppose it's china that's so aggressively there and not europe or the united states? >> joy, i think china does not have the blinders and the prism that the united states and europe do on africa. you know, europe has a colonial past in africa. so they still are stuck in that 19th century mentality of looking at africa, which is problem, problem, problem. not really seeing it is partnership, partnership, partnership. united states, by virtue of its closeness to europe, tend to use the same prism
