china? ms. sun: also because the chinese won't allow it. mr. roy: that is an additional factor. they have allowed the penetration of western ideas for decades and now the problem is they found those ideas have become what president and his congress referred to as china has an ideological problem, he didn't develop that idea, but he acknowledged the china has a problem of ideology. the problem is these subversive western ideas are subverting the ideology of china and this pressure back against it and we see that as repression. i see it as an upwelling of the influence of western ideas. so in other words, you've got to look at both sides of the question. there is a danger of perhaps all agreeing with each other on the stage. jens palmer, says it's only takes one site to start a war takes one site to start a war and they believed to be in a ideological and geopolitical contest with u.s. power worldwide. fundamentally it affects the way ccp leaders think much less than our discussions consider.

china is going.here is a debate going on about that. is china going to advocate for more reform, more opening up? the government thinks so, but people do not have confidence. or is china going to be more closed off? reformistsast, have argued, why do you want to make this yourself? ,ut now the argument is, see because you do not want to subject vulnerability to the control of the united states. i think that these are the hard questions going on about restructuring of the economy and which way china will be going. but looking at bri, i will say that it has had an affect the supply. chinese companies especially with the business contracts, because they need to digest overcapacity. and i see that will continue. >> it is up to you. >> i will be fast. on china and bri and the u.s. response. there was a study by citi that given the trade tensions between china and the u.s., we will see china, despite economic challenges, putting more into diversifying its relationships away from the market market. the othe

because of the politics china will not appear much all of that capability is about with china's threat working more closely with the us and other countries. if there is a line for japan it is the tariffs if donald trump went at 25 percent tariffs that is so destabilizing for the international economy that would be truly alarming but short of that my senses corporate japan and korea are generally in agreement but it is that unpredictability consensus and the fact that we treat her allies pretty badly right now there is a lot in the way that we do this that troubles our allies but generally what the vice president delivers on china with our high tech allies japan and korea also. >> one is reminded of the good old days when we had a single organizing principle for foreign policy which was containment with the soviet union and its economy now we wrestle with all of the complications of our success there and we are reminded all of the rest of the story with the more sensational headlines and those quick summaries. i would like to open it to the floor for questions and consideration and in t

china? the answer is we express ideas that can be viewed in china as interference because we believe in these modern concepts of governance. but, in fact, we do very, very little to actually try to promote these ideas inside china because we can't do it on our own doorstep. why do we think wee can do in china? >> and also because the chinese will not allow it. >> that's an additional factor. but yun they have allowed the penetration of western ideas for decades now the problem is they find that those ideas have become what is xi jinping and his work report refer to china has an ideological problem. he didn't develop the idea that he echoes acknowledged the chia problem of ideology. you can't interpret -- the problem is the subversive western ideas are subverting the ideology of china, and there is pressure back against it and we see that as repression. i see it as upwelling of the influence of western ideas. so in other words, it's, you've got to look at both sides of the question. >> let me

about china and u.s. because meanwhile look at the talks are in progress and second round of talks are somewhat close but meanwhile the daughter of the founder of the tech giant why wait . he's also second in command there has been arrested at a request for american requests for violating u.s. trade rules and in tehran sanctions i mean why ways think they were china's government and even though china says that they are us want to stop the trade talks with washington why the need to complicate things i mean these were just getting better you're just about to hammer out a day or so. what this arrest derailed negotiations well i think you're assuming more coherence within the u.s. government than might be. prudent. we have in the pension edition of the justice department does the fact trump didn't even know she was arrested at the time he was having dinner with she at the g twenty cannot tell bolton said that he didn't pass the news of imminent or asked her present trauma to understand that you know presiden

order would liberalize china. contrary to our hopes, china expanded its power at the expense of the sovereignty of others. according to the national defense strategy. the central challenge to u.s. prosperity and security is the emergence of long-term strategic competition by what national security strategies class i asked revisionist powers. it is increasingly clear that china and russia want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model, beginning veto authority over other nations and their economic and security decisions. this has resulted in an intensifying crackdown on civil society, ethnic boundaries, -- ethnic minorities, and religious freedom in china. this has shocked the conscience and necessitates a serious response from the united states and international community. in the tibets autonomous region is intensifying. while beijing continues to review negotiations. human rights defenders are jailed, tortured, and otherwise deprived of liberty. the genuine freedom of speech and assembly are none

china cannot succeed. china is not allowed to succeed did it is somehow wrong for china to succeed.n and unattainable position for us economically. i see too many voices in this country who are slipping into that position. my friend hank paulson warned about an economic iron curtain coming down. i think that was a valid warning. i would also warned about a new mccarthyism. with respect to china where we lose our objectivity accuracy. >> but it is true that when china joined in 1999, you went to congress to get congress to approve the trading relationship , we all believed at that time that china was on the quite different path. what you said to congress, when he recommended her approve of the trade deal. we can strengthen the hand of those that favor china. more difficult for china to turn back the clock. becoming more market-based. more protective of commercial and personal freedoms. the end of history. the end of the cold war. they did not happen. if anything, going the wrong way >> much more market oriented economy then it was. america's firms have much more access than they did

or to oppose china or stop china from advancing into central asia.for my research i have not seen too much russian opposition or efforts to undermine china's effort in central asia stands in terms of their researcher project. but another component of this is the policy road. that goesf the angles to europe. see the mostwould successful commercial projects between china and russia ever. it has been built and has been producing starting from 2017. ton on the chinese want invest in that port, the russians decline the chinese financing because of the strategic location. what we also see as russia trying also raising the way to invite china to invest in the northern sea route because russian is to update infrastructure and it doesn't have the financing. on that, the chinese have been very reluctant. there is much more talking than actions in reality, because with the chinese see is russia portraying a concept of dividends in the future about without arn sea route willingness to make any compromise to the chinese about the commercial profitability. own fre

that's what china 2025 is about. so for them to change that, for them to recognize their economic growth to realize their goals isn't going to come from forced technology transfer and intellectual property theft and a state-run system which they now have but have to adapt to another system based on u.s. demands, that's a much more difficult path and i think the markets are reflecting that. >> okay, so some of the remedies president trump and his advisers have taken and believe will work are these tariffs, the whole tariff war, and of course the markets have plummeted, we are told, because investors are not reassured anymore that this trade war is over and a truce has been negotiated. so let us read a few of president trump's most recent tweet this is week. i am a tariff man. when people or countries come into raid the great wealth of our nation, i want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. it will always be the best way to max out our economic power. we are right now taking in billions of dollars in tariffs, mak

congratulations going around as china honors the reform pioneers, marking 40 years since china openedonomy. we are still with charlene. yvonne: talking about the past 40 years. you talk about the development we have seen, which is undeniable. do you think this is a function of the state planning, the so-called china model we have seen, or growth despite that? it was more about marketization, entrepreneurship? charlene: i think it was a mixture. we had decades of what is an incredibly hard-working population suffer a lot. they were actually given the freedom to go out and make their own money and be entrepreneurial, things just took off in a way you went unnecessarily -- not necessarily see. i do believe china has the hardest working population in the world and there is a lot of them. they can drive growth a lot. on top of that, i think the planning worrying tatian of the government was very integral in that development. what we saw was an emphasis in fdi over portfolio investment. that meant bringing foreign companies in for the long haul. no short-term funds. a very comprehensive inf

so with the ukraine crisis it limited to not work with china or opposed china and from my research.and that other component to define that policy and that goes to europe and their use c the most successful and from 2017 and the chinese wanted to invest because of that strategic importance and then to invest because the japanese are looking at the infrastructure. there is much more talking than actions. and then to portray the concept. and the commercial viability. and so overall china was afraid it would be an obstacle. >> as a journalist from australia passing legislation without mentioning any country specific vet that they cannot see that the third world countries can pay those loans back? and for example were only one container of movement happens per week in trade from the aircraft carrier. and does that united front like it does in australia interfere to pressure chinese students? >> and that they said it isn't fundamentally an undertaking. >> with uninformed policy that just doesn't happen. that they have more strategic but it depends on the country. when csi has had a report

president of china? what is his attitude towards being a moral leader as a global power, and is it improving, or do we see it getting worse with him? guest: excellent question. i don't know the answer. i can tell you in my book i tried to calculate how much money and effort to we put into making china think more about democracy, following the rule, what you refer to as being a moral leader. this is the second biggest economy in the world. it looks like our democracy budget, democracy, human rights, freedom of religion, is very small. under $50 million a year. very few people are involved. there are very few programs. for example, the department of justice administers to strengthen a chinese bar association. they have a journal in china "alled "the rule of law journal to invite our judges to me chinese judges. impact.bably has some it seemed to have an impact in the environmental area. they did not have an environmental protection agency at all going back to the 1980's. with american funding they created

and china. essentially i think for president moon is relieved that is a break in the tension, and he got an endorsement from president trump with regards to his push for diplomacy with kim jong-un, plus an u.s.-china statement hat tip from president trump to kim jong-un. so he's probably feeling pretty good because this is the break and appearance short-lived the break in the rising compensation between china and the u.s. that essentially when that occurs it restricts south korea's preferred strategy of navigating choice avoidance between u.s. and china. south korea for first choice of voice because it's spent on china for economic benefits, given the fact south korea's trade with china is so significant while it relies on the light with the united states for security benefits. rising china-u.s. rivalry makes south korean strategic choices both more consequential and it generates more pressure on seoul as both u.s. and china compete with each other to post costs on south korea celesta influence

what are you seeing from china?> sure, i think the nature of interference on the policy side is different from china than what we see from russia. now, i don't want to get ahead -- there is a process that we're undergoing right now under the recently issued executive order to assess and then lay out in a report what we saw in the last elections with respect to election interference, if any. i don't want to get ahead of that process. there will be a report in the not too distant future, but we are worried more generally about chinese political influence and how can we use fara and how can we use section 951 of the criminal code to make sure that any efforts at influence are transparent. >> ok. very good. thank you. i hope we will get your help in trying to get the bills passed, because it is not just one country. >> thank you. >> thank you, senator. china started its economic expansion. and it started to cheat. and we were told as it became more and more apparent that our friends in china or at least the political le

in china's made in china 2025 industrial strategy.in recent years chinese spies targeted firms as diverse as cloud computing, semi conductors, robotics, energy and agriculture as mister chang mentioned and others. important to remember china does not only steal trade secrets and other crown jewels of us intellectual property but also try to steal important commercial information like pricing strategies so they can help their own companies develop pricing strategies. the department of justice even indicted chinese spies for strategy information from us labor union that was strongly opposing chinese trade practices. in terms of us government response to date, i think it can be broken up into 3 parts, better defense, prosecuting spies and increasing costs to china. first better defense, director krebs describes many initiatives currently underway by the us government to harden us government networks and private sector networks and other networks by private institutions and other entities to protect themselves from chinese espionage. ther

identified in china's made in china 2025 industrial strategy. in recent years, chinese spies have targeted firms operating in sectors as diverse as cloud computing, misconductors, robotics energy and agriculture, as mr. cheng just mentioned, among others. it's important to remember that china does not only steal trade secrets and other sort of high-end crown jules of u.s. intellectual property, they also try to steal important commercial information such as pricing strategies by american companies so that they can help their own companies develop pricing strategies. a couple of years ago, the department of justice even indicted chinese spies for stealing strategy information from a u.s. labor union that was strongly opposing chinese trade practices. in terms of the u.s. government response to date, broadly speaking, i think it can be broken up into three parts: better defense, prosecuting spies and increasing costs to china. first, better defense. director krebs described many of the initiatives currently underway by the u.s. government to harde

or taiwan province of china and. in the ministry of foreign affairs over here we need to develop substantive relations with delight my to countries and we also have to safeguard those countries that are still having relations with us with taiwan. and in the last two years five countries that have relations with you have defected to china that must hurt it is difficult for us and what we try to do is to make sure that the senior government officials in senior government officials in our diplomatic elyse are highly connected and i think most important trait of taiwan is taiwan is that democracy already and we have very proud of that and many of my countries continue to priest i want us a beacon and because taiwan is already a democracy and therefore if we are able to develop closer and closer ties with like minded countries but when former friends like el salvador became a fast so say sort of we're going to recognize beijing there must be this sort of sense of betrayal because these countries up until then point have b

and china. as so many many countries and indo-pacific region, china is by far our largest trading partner. but overall the u.s. is our largest economic partner. and both of our relationships are underpinned by free trade agreements which is also something of a rarity. given with both those countries. i thought i would give a quick overview a comparative overview of our respective trade and investment relationships with each of these giants starting with the united states. two-way trade in goods and services is currently valued at about $68 billion. of that, the u.s. enjoys a trade surplus of approximately $29 billion according to according to the beer of economic analysis. analysis. australia's major exports to u.s. is primarily agricultural commodities were as our imports from u.s. are industrialized products. the bilateral investment relationship is quite significant and is valued at over $1 trillion. china china as i said is austras largest trading partner and accounts for nearly 30% of austr

. >> of a trade war with china? . >> i hope not but on both sides of the rhetoric that they are getting more and more confrontational there is no reason why we need to have a cold war with china the world could accommodate our greatness and unfortunately right now it looks very confrontational in the economic realm in the security realm. >> president trump says china doesn't play fair he said just this week i just want our country to be treated fairly and he has a point. >> sure. sure of time some of china's practices of intellectual property historically have been problematic there are stories about commercial espionage certainly there are examples where china has broken the rules with respect to subsidies but no nation has an unblemished record on trade no nation with unproblematic practices and usually we work towards conversion with an idea that works for everybody what is extraordinary that degree of confrontation in which president trump has sought to engage on trade issues not just with chinana but with the w

because china retaliates. and retaliates so quickly and immediately against countries that do take actions against china. and they retaliate very clearly in this trade sphere. and even for fairly innocuous actions, where the nobel peace prize was given. what's the first thing china does? it bans the exports of salmons. because they don't want to award the peace prize. where they have the developments of the islands in the south china sea. and wins the case. what is the first thing china does? ban philippine mangos, from going to the philippines into china, as a way of retaliating. so countries have been really reluctant to take on china in a major way. for fear that they will be the subject of this retaliation. again, hence the reason reason why my view is if you put together a large coalition of countries, it does create a bit of a shield against this ability for china to immediately retaliate. the other part of it again, as i mentioned is evidence. it is hard to get enough of this evidence particularly becau

china sea. well the chinese are the ones who signed the law of the sea treaty and then decided to interpret it kind of on our card sort of basis and you know they pledged to obama that they wouldn't alter ised the south china sea and they've built. of military bases building up to spirit eyelets i think if. i think the u.s. and china both have a problem that neither side has answered what i see as two basic questions i will shape the future and the chinese assumption is the u.s. is now a liar and then eventually to leave and they're positioning themselves to be a dominant power in the region the u.s. seems to think that its network of alliances and presence in the region. which is only been there for the last seventy years if you think about the last five thousand years of asian history there have been three different kinds of security systems for a long time it was chinese tributary system then we had an period. as system and beginning in the twentieth century and after world war two it's been

since aged times, china has seen -- ancient times, china has seen numerous movement. there is more than one way of governance and the ancient way is not the only way to develop a nation. guided by the believe that all people under heaven are one family and all nations should live in harmony, the chinese nation sees ancient times as engaged in powerful changes which of foreign nations. such vibrant engagements gave rise to the ancient silk road, accentuated by the pleasant training of camel bells along the way. as an agent saying goes, a gentleman should constantly strive for self perfection. just as the earth stays receptive through supporting others, a gentleman should embrace the world and all humbleness. such spirit of reform and opening up gave rise to the chinese a civilization. the only one of history that has extended for more than 5000 years -- in history that has extended for more than 5000 years. [applause] a review of the past several thousand years shows that reform and opening up remains the norm throughout china's history. such profound historical and cu

and china. as so many countries in the pacific region, china is by far our latest, largest trading partner. overall, the u.s. is our largest economic partner. both of our relationships are depending on free trade agreements. which is also something of a rarity. given the countries. i thought i'd give a quick overview, comparative overview of perspective trade in relationship. with each of these giants, starting with the united states. to a trade, it's currently valued at about $68 billion. the u.s. enjoys a trade of approximately 20 to nine million dollars. it's really a major primarily agricultural commodities, it's imports from the u.s. industrialized products. the investment relationship is quite significant and is valued at 1 trillion u.s. dollars. china is australia's largest trading partner. it accounts for nearly 30% of australia's experts. in fact, our bilateral to a trade shows record of 200 billion australian dollars in the fiscal year 2017, 2018. that's about 140 the u.s. dollars and

in china. and a senate foreign relations subcommittee hearing. >> this hearing will come to order. let me thank you all the witnesses to the 11th and final hearing on the east asia pacific international cybersecurity policy in the 115th congress. i first want to again thank senator markey for being an incredible partner on this subcommittee. you couldn't have asked for anybody better to work with. the east asia pacific subcommittee has held the most hearings of any foreign relations subcommittee in the 115th congress. quite an achievement for the american people who sent us here to conduct vigorous oversight over our nation's foreign policy. and i want to thank senator markey for the work that we have done together throughout the indo-pacific region we authorize the asia reassurance initiative act, a landmark legislation to strengthen our alliances and deter our adversaries in the indo-pacific for years to come. we conducted five hearings, examining a range of national security economic and rul

the ip addresses in china they know things like that for example the ip address in china or somewhere set up by china and they try to infiltrate with their messages there's a common knowledge over here in taiwan the fifty cents army in china they are roaming the taiwan internet world for example some of our candidates have their facebook. with the chinese languages in their facebook account and this is being seen us china trying to influence how was the election and of course china is also trying to getting connected with some of the local politicians or local organizations some of them trying to get benefit from china things like that has been seeing us china trying to interfere in our election do you think that china's leaders will feel that their strategy of strangling taiwan economically diplomatically is working and that now they're going to double down on their efforts to try to bring about reunification in five to ten years even sooner . that is something that many people here in taiwan have been discussing about in taiwan selection committee seeing. chinese success of their in

relations with china. i begin with the trump administration' national security strategy that refers to china as a strategic competitor. the administration has accused china of being an unfair competitor, and this analysis seems fair and accurate. but to compete, the u.s. should not criticize -- should not just criticize, it should have an affirmative strategy. our strengths in my opinion start with our model of the private sector, not government ourort leading the way, and deep and long-standing relationship with our allies around the world who share our values, not just having transactional arrangements. china may have spent $1 trillion on its belt and road initiative over the past five years, it is more important that in the indo pacific region alone the u.s. has $1.4 trillion in trade annually and invested more than $900 billion in the region as of 2017. these are u.s. strengths. we should use official tools to highlight and leverage such strengths. that is why the trump administration and congress dese

china? is we express ideas it could be viewed as interference because we believe in these modern concepts of governance. we do very little to try to promote these ideas , if wechina because can't do it on our own doorstep, why do we think we can do it in china? >> and also because the chinese don't allow it. [laughter] >> that is additional factor, but they have allowed the infiltration of western ideas for decades but now the problem is what find the idea president xi jinping and his communist already refer to as an ideological problem. he ignored that china has a problem of ideology. you can interpret quite easily that the problem is these subversive western ideas are subverting the western ideas in china and we see that as repression. words, you have to look at both sides of the question. can the limited bring in a voice from outside the room. -- palmer wrote that it always -- it only takes one side to start a war. fundamentally i think that u.s. government's formal vision affects the way

you know they didn't feel that we had to stay in china. i wanted to go and see the world for myself and for me i think i wanted not to have to behave. according to others you know are strict guidelines and i believe i would be a lot freer if i went to the west. hall said goodbye to his family at a train station in beijing goodrem alba woodley soon after. their slice of cake fun my father said to me before i left there's so many beggars and criminals in the west it's a place if things don't work out for you there you can always come back to us lots of it. indeed chinese newspapers claimed that capitalism in europe was on the verge of collapse. goodrem was worried about that but she left her parents' time and was soon on her way to austria. she arrived in vienna in february nineteenth seventy two. city officials gave her a warm welcome and presented her with a camera. cool croaks time in china had also come to an end. across the border from. trade to hong kong. the world was certainly exciting place so. i spent ten days going through late ni

china 2025 plan. no one begrudges a nation that generates the most innovative ideas and from them develops the best technology, but we cannot tolerate a nation that steals the fruits of our brainpower. that is just what china is doing to achieve its development goals. china has turned the tradecraft of its intelligence services against american companies, taking trade secrets and other sensitive commercial information through computer intrusion and by co-opting company insiders, from underwater drones and autonomous vehicles to critical chemical compounds and inbred corn seeds, china has targeted advanced technology across sectors that aligns with china's publicly announced strategic goals. the playbook is simple, rob, replicate, and replace. rob the american company of its intellectual property. replicate that technology. replace the american company in the chinese market and one day in the global market. it is no wonder that from 2011 to 2018, more than 90% of the departments cases alleging economic

china. so many countries in the pacific region, it's by far the largest trading partner. overall, the u.s. is our largest economic partner. both of our relationships are depended by free trade agreement which is also something of a rarity. given with the countries, i will give a quick overview of our respective trade and investment relationships with each of these giant, starting with the united states. two-way trade goods and services is currently valued at about $68 billion. the u.s. enjoys trade surplus of approximately $29 billion according to the bureau of economic analysis. australia's major port to the u.s. primarily agriculture, these words are imports from the u.s. are industrialized products. the investment relationship however, is quite significant and valued at over 1 trillion u.s. dollars. china is australia's largest trading partner. it accounts to nearly 30% of australia's experts. in fact, our bilateral to a trade, reached a record of almost 200 billion australian dollars in

inside of china. and finally, china's government has protected other governments accused of significant human rights violations. china is working through the united nations security council to protect the government in burma from international condemnation for its brutal assault on the road and go, it is weakening the international efforts to pressure the regime in cambodia by offering financial loans and giving lucrative lines of credit to venezuela as the world tries to isolate the president and it is noticeably silent on the president drug war in the philippines as it strengthens economic and security partnership with manila. such policies undermine, establish human rights standards internationally and they challenge individual freedoms and liberties the majority of the world holds dear. it is imperative that we confront this challenge. they must engage with our chinese counterparts head on about our concerns and work with allies and partners to establish a collective front against this malign beha

influence and to superseding china in this hemisphere. >> lou, we are paving the way for china to taker runway, djibouti is on the far side of africa, were giving up a military base and essentially the chinese will take it. remember xi jinping has also gone to portugal. >> lou: he started out before buenos aires and spain and then to panama. now, to portugal to wrap up the deal. he wrapped up deals in argentina and i am talking about 20 deals in argentina during the g20 summit. another 20 deals in panama of the savior portugal. >> this is going to be important. we don't want chinese planes flying over the atlantic. >> lou: i don't want them flying anywhere near this hemisphere. end of story. and i don't think this president is either. man, does he have his hands full. he has these hyenas around him all the time. you talk about the strength of the man, good lord. we cannot be grea great gratefu. >> it seems like middle class working men and women are just a little fed up with france's socialist policies. their carbon tax and a lot more. we take it up with washington times. charlie joins

china's trade super highway. i'm rishaad salamat. >> our leaders are letting africa go to china.is my view. i think we need to do it in moderation. while at the same time, maintain our country. there is quite a lot we can learn and gain from china. quite a lot. but i think we need to do it to some extent, not get china to come and take over our country. [applause] >> we do not interfere in the internal affairs of african countries. impose our will on african countries. attach any political condition on the economic aid to africa, nor do we seek selfish political gains in investment and financing cooperation with africa. [applause] rishaad: china is pushing back against criticism, the belt and wrote initiative loads up -- belt and road initiative loads up partner countries with debt. it also refutes claims it is aimed at strengthening beijing's global influence. the chinese president maintains the initiative as a tool for common prosperity. while the roads, rail and port infrastructure are needed in africa, the continent's debt is rising. about $12 billion in chinese loans were gi

do you think if you're china could actually who in america back together well china is is try to mean one thing china has influence in some. east european countries under a being was greece others were getting a lot of benefits from china so there is that and the europeans in brussels serve very worried about that so there is some division there. but i think yes so long as they don't want to be dragged into a conflict an american conflict with with china. and they don't like the kind of blustery you know there are a anti china insults and others that sometimes trump and some of his people engage in would like to you know push china back a few decades to where it is and that's right i mean they don't like that sort of added to china on its side i think would like to strengthen its ties with europe to avoid a common front that would also include chip may. well actually funny you mention japan because this beijing investment thing is coming under so much scrutiny in the e.u. they reminds me of the eighty's there was very similar fear of all japanese in japanese investment and genes are b

the trade dispute between china and the us seems to cool office china lifts some of its curative tariffs on u.s. products we'll tell you why the markets are still in the red. and spain revives its solar power industry after years of struggle we'll take a look at the floor of solar sector it's time for business on the w m how yet again us welcome to the program the trade dispute between china and the u.s. seems to be cooling off a little bit beijing is suspending punitive tariffs on american made cars and announced a big purchase of u.s. soybeans in what sounds like a conciliatory tone the chinese finance ministry says it hopes china and the u.s. will progress quickly and its negotiations to lift all additional tariffs on each other's goods. chinese consumers will soon be able to afford cars from the u.s. again beijing is reducing current import duties on u.s. vehicles from forty to fifteen percent tariffs will also disappear for a number of other u.s. products the regulations apply to the first three months of twenty nine hundred nineteen agricultural products energy automobiles except f

china how did the revolution affect their lives. the wave of political renewal in china served as inspiration for many young europeans they demonstrated against their own governments. the great problem tarion cultural revolution has often been romanticized in europe but what was it really like in china back there in. these apartments are located at the foreign studies university in beijing. paul crocker is british and lives in london but he grew up in beijing his mother isabel who was born in one thousand nine hundred fifteen has spent most of her life in china pulled visits or whenever he can isabel was an enthusiastic supporter of communism from an early age so it was paul's father david who arrived in china in one nine hundred thirty seven he and isabel were married in one thousand nine hundred forty two together they experienced the social and political upheavals brought about by the communist revolution. in the course of. the memories of what was happening there and i'm just glad that someone better spent captured link that's v
