and china a lot of changes taking place but within the china u.s. situation yes they want to win and in my book it goes back to remember back in the 1990 s. when we had newt gingrich shouldn bill clinton and sex scandals and and the new york times is full of 5 pages of detail about sex and then we moved on to bush and we had to take trillions of dollars and put it in the sand in the middle east well in the 1990 s. when we were. arguing about nonsense the founders of weiwei were sleeping on cement floor dreaming of 5 g. they're worried about their next meal. china was you know right now we're surprised you know china i am and all this high tech and we've got to invest and we've got to get garments that i was training china in the early 2 thousands making these speeches we've got to get gold and we've got to stop investing in blowing up sand and start investing in our own country there's a race for the future and i could see it happening in china but we don't you know we're going to be heard this in 2016 no one is you did it ok i'm going to jump in he

china was you know right now we're surprised you know china i. and all this high tech and we've got to invest and we've got to get gaunt that i was touring china in the early 2000 making these speeches we've got to get go and we've got to stop investing in blowing up sand and start investing in our own country there's a race for the future and i could see it happening in china but you know we're going to hear this in 2016 no one is you did it ok i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion of perceptions of china at stake. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remake of the shall i say. welcome back across town where all things are considered i'm peter let me remind you we're talking about perceptions and misperceptions of china. ok let's go

of america by americans and brought to china to give to chinese workers i hear this china still just didn't steal one john it's the captains of industry and finance that moved their operations is that china's all or is it their fault but it's certainly an american carrier and i think that's that's really where the jeffrey is wrong here go ahead yeah i mean i read it really that. the rhetoric is incorrect it was you know politicians and also the captains of industry as you say who are in charge of moving jobs especially manufacturing jobs out of america manage to china and here not mention mexico into all these other countries in the name of free trade and while i believe that free trade is a good thing because it helps us to buy lots of cheap stuff you know and raise our standard of living our low salaries can help to a more eroding salaries can help to to buy more stuff as a result of that. government has not put into place appropriate protections for american low income or middle income workers and you know that's really the big concern but notwithstanding all of that you know ther

and china quite frankly the u.s. is convinced that its system is the perfect system that it the system that the rest of the world should use so it's not always explainable exactly why china is succeeding since it doesn't follow the u.s. model so this is the kind of existential angsty that goes on there therefore anything that china does even if the u.s. does it is somehow wrong so this is one of the things that kind of confronts them in terms of the expansion of china it's simply a factor of the kind of economic growth and that brings them into production with neighbors. south korea japan india etc simply because it is now the number one trade partner for over 100 countries so these things happen it's part of time but it's not easy the question is how will be solved well let's put that question to theresa fall and how will it be sold and is china let's be honest is china using is diplomacy to punish people or is it doing well great powers day. well iran machiavelli advised leaders that it was better to be feared than

china was you know right now we're surprise you know china. and all this high tech and we've got to invest and we've got to get gone aren't that i was training china in the early 2 thousands making these speeches we've got to get goat we've got to stop investing in blowing up sand and start investing in our own country there's a race for the future and i could see it happening in china but you know we're going to be here dessen 2016 no one is you did it ok i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion of perceptions of china at stake there's. going to lose there's a worth of the replacing of the police to come with the food. for the farmers the going through things i love the long of the old forms of the balls the most ruthless not. just with the. for. those of you. who was there to use the book with those gusts is going to have those that would he was a piece of. music but the other. yeah of course. a new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers a

we do have one china officer, china regional officer in the western hemisphere. we just got approval to get three additional positions in the region. we are excited to be placing those positions in panama, or uruguay, and barbados. every embassy in the western hemisphere has a china working group who does regular reporting through our channels. we coordinate all the messages throughout the western hemisphere in our monthly message. >> it requires the executive branch to provide regional partners with assistance on cybersecurity and cyber defense. can you outline any efforts in that regard? >> on cyber issues, we have two very new initiatives that we took from the indo pacific that we are now launching in the western hemisphere. one is the dccp. digital cybersecurity partnership. that was planned for the eap region. realizing the important of 5g -- the importance of cybersecurity and 5g issues in the hemisphere, we launched this for the first time in our region. initial investment of $10 million. this will provide cybersecurity training and best shared practices.

china was you know right now we're surprise you know china. and all this hijacking we've got to invest and we've got to get gaunt that i was treating china in the early 2000 making these speeches we've got to get go and we've got to stop investing in blowing up sand and start investing in our own country there's a race for the future and i could see it happening in china but we need to you know we're going to hear distant 2016 no one as you did it ok i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after the actual continue our discussion of perceptions of china state. we've been talking about how slow far you know a number of weeks few months because that is a phenomenon and the point i've been making from day one is that it's a name jamie that has a market valuation at one point over $400000000000.00 and it taps into the people who trade me news our generation's e.a.a. and the millennia old on the robin absent other forms and me who have no fundamental value there's nothing there it's just it's a murmur ration like starlings

, made in china.they own us in many ways. certainly, that to them is controlling a world, the world that we have bought into. which is one of who is going to make the most money. we've made some huge mistakes along the line, very shortsighted and naive. they're much martyr than us, they're much more patient than us. they creep into power as we back off, as we pivot away from asia, and we leave a vacuum they feel it immediately. when we back off in the environmental world, they fill it in immediately. when we break up our alliances, they come in immediately. they're making alliances with italy right now. the balkan road is now as contest in italy, it should be the american -- it's the chinese built-in road. again, it's long term sinking, especially know that they've made him i'm prefer life, this 100-year plan will be continuous. as we change administrations, we faith we change focus of what we're doing, how we approach the world, there are spaces and vacuums that are created. and the chinese are takin

merica and china second is, if china is the enemy stealing all of our intellectual thenrty and all that stuff why are our corporations running over there doing business with them? and ruins our supply lines it is affecting our politics. americans feel for corporations that abandon them, seeking slave wages? -- what's the caveat was the trade deal about with russia? well -- not russia, with nixon. nixon went over and opened up china, but i never knew what the deal was. and it looks like to me, we are getting a raw deal. but we seem to be loving it, because our corporations are running over there. host: a little bit of history there but a little bit of present-day. can you speak first and the economics and then pull it into this larger conversation we are having u.s. and china, deficits and tariffs. what would you say? guest: thank you for that question. i don't know the trade deficit exactly. frankly, i share your views about what happened, particularly over the last few years. i think nixon and kissinger made the right decision at the time, because that was about the reverse of what we

it's called the south china sea because it's near china not to put that money in california it might be my problem there. i think the idea is that you know that the u.s. needs to or feels the need to and i'm not saying that you know this is necessarily right but the u.s. feels the need to ante what it views as an increasingly aggressive china and even under obama you know secretary has made it inside hillary clinton trying to find aggression here what do you mean by. well i don't know gentry's china invaded recently. well we're talking about is increasing military activity certainly that's a side of aggression. in the other there. you noted statements from the pacific islands merican lake i mean it don't you think it was maybe an opinion on the head john. i wouldn't say problem well. you can offer regrets aggression i mean 1 i don't know if you've heard about them the dean principal michael ledeen used to work for the pentagon is a very famous saying abbot 10 years ago every 10 years also you know states need to pick up some crap in a new country just sort of has to walk to me we wer

to the question if china is a rival or a partner i would say of course i mean china is a big country with 1300000000 people and economy the economy is strong and the rest of the world of course has to keep on talking negotiating and communicating with china but uncertain terms human rights what's happening in bed in hong kong and dealing with taiwan i think. i would totally agree. i would call it is not a partner is an enemy and so i have i would say ok and if she is not willing to to to compromise on any terms i would say. the west of europe or and also germany has to has to consider heart of measurements what can the europeans learn from the americans on dealing with beijing or why i think they i think they have a lot to learn from the americans this extraordinary level of research and knowledge going on in the us into china that i simply don't see in europe. i do see some in this and we have the europeans underestimate the chinese do we not taking them seriously because the chinese often give signals that they feel misunderstood oh yeah well of course they would i mean it's very h

companies leaving china. arrest reporters or threaten to because of something happening in australia, you have no australian reporters in the prc. businesses are going to feel the same thing. you say38 says if anything derogatory about the government, you are subject to arrest. all these things work against that juggernaut of this inevitability of chinese domination of the global economy. at the same time, we are seeing great work collaboration on the economic side in japan. tsmc, the world's greatest chip manufacturer is looking to creatingnto arizona, american jobs. i do not think it is as inevitable as they would make it sound. the u.s. has been able to develop collaboration in the east asia pacific regions and elsewhere as everyone recognizes the threat. thank you. quick thank you, mr. secretary. i want to underscore the a collaborative basis to confront china. thank you. attending via us the internet, put a clock in front of you for the five minutes. we have heavy attendance. everybody wants a shot at th

well i think china wants to have as many talks as needed to avoid a war military conflict between china and india because china does not want to have a war by doesn't mean that china is afraid of a war against for example we truly believe that neither india nor china should be involved in a war against each other the 2 largest populations in the world so i think china will be very very patient in talking to the media site to rationalize everything and to give out the pros and cons of peace versus wall for example and i hope india we also be rational and will be reasonable and we will not be pushed forward by another big power which may actually have its own geopolitical schemes try to run hold a war pretty india recall you almost make it sound like the solutions are entirely with india what would you have india do. no i think both china and india need to con dom and withdrawal from the line of actual control which may actually cause more cases to rise and both sides need to have cool head rather then rid next as we sometimes call to agitate the situation and to promote the getting out o

i'm proud that china has the pandemic under control. china's leadership has cast itself as the savior of the nation and as a friend in need abroad. which friends will in the global struggle against the virus we have acted with wisdom and strength. we have filled our international duties responsibly and with transparency. in beijing's great hall of the people there is no room for doubt and this is no time for admitting mistakes. the country's foremost coronavirus expert is honored by being himself. features prominently in the exhibition 2 others are simply ignored. lee when the yang sounded the alarm over the corona virus the authorities were still denying its existence the doctor from one was forced to recant and for business to speak up again the contract of the disease and died for weeks the pandemic spread throughout the country unchecked because of the cover up despite being locked out of your visual history lisa story is not forgotten you get to that you tell a book. so you can actually vision can show everything i think whistleblo

that china. gradually reduce its holdings up to 800000000000 from the current levels of one trillion after the us federal deficit increased its risk of default and so the key reason stated for the liquidation is that they're concerned about the writing debt levels of the u.s. deficit is already hitting a record of 3.3 trillion so it's a very legitimate concern but at the same time this will also nosedive the value of china's main treasury buildings and to stabilize our base at the very double edge sword of our bed and i got about 45 seconds left but i want to hit this last point is actually expected to surpass the united states to become the world's largest economy within the next decade what can you tell us about that yes we do see that china is on track to do that that's according to a report that came out of beijing now look the german ministration is doing everything that it can right now to slow that down the question is going to be whether or not voters agree with what the president is doin

our official is china -- policy is china is a strategic competitor. skin internal discussions, they have been referring to china as an enemy. in 2012, the people's daily, one of the commonest party members -- they unashamedly noted that they had defected to the enemy. if you look at approaches and attitudes toward each other, the approach of the trump administration was long overdue. we are not using the word enemy. we are simply competing. in simply competing, we are having great effect in normalizing chinese behavior in the united states. it is adverse behavior in the united states and elsewhere in the world. the support is growing considerably as people recognize that the economic threats, you don't have to bow to those, you can stand up sovereignly. >> [indiscernible] >> i would echo the term strategic competitor as we describe it certainly in the national security strategy, but to point out that in europe we see this as the prc trying to establish their own strategic foothold and indeed promote an authoritarian model of governance and state-contr

economic ties with china.with china once and for all. whether it is decoupling or imposing massive tariffs. we will impose tariffs on companies that dessert america to create jobs and other countries. if they cannot do it here, we will make them pay a big tax. we will prohibit federal contracts from companies that outsource to china. haslinda: he is seeking to make china key election issue with the vote less than two months away. jodi schneider joins us now. one are the potential implications of trumps intention to curb the u.s. economic relations with china? what might get affected? jodi: yes not really set when he would implement such policies but he is framing this as part of a second term agenda. saying if you reelect me, i will go ahead and continue to decouple from china. he's threatened to punish any american companies that create jobs overseas. for bid those that do business in china for winning u.s. several contracts. it would be punishing companies in a sense for going ahead and doing business in chi

china related funding this includes any and all federal funding that aids or supports china or that directly or indirectly counters china's unfair competition and malign activities and influence globally now this comes from a document titled strategic competition with china crosscut but that document does not indicate how the information is going to be used it only currently says that it will inform policymakers on the many different ways the u.s. spending involved china on the campaign trail u.s. president donald trump continues to hit china as a work that still needs to be done to protect the u.s. i think we're way ahead. of what we were 4 years ago and there's far more enthusiasm our base is bigger stronger and we've done the greatest show up again if we didn't get hit by the plague from jonah this thing we wouldn't even have between us i would have cancelled the congress with most of the rallies i wouldn't need it around and. that's a little bit unfair but that's ok that's what john has done jordan nation they've screwed us for a long time or a lot of different ways no never has

to impose costs on china. including being able to sue china daily for damages for the china virus. generally speaking all of this legislation attracts four or six cosponsors area i was a senate staffer for 10 years. i know how to count. i know when senators cared about something they would tell us that notified me cosponsors. when i introduced this bill i want 50 cosponsors and if you want to raise nextyear , i want to see cosponsors for my legislation. these 80 bills are being introduced sometimes with zero cosponsors other than one who drafted it and they're going nowhere. there are no hearings, the leadership doesn't put them up for a vote so we're in deep trouble. the senators and commercemen come on television , they still have to come on fox news. they see an audience of 4 million people. the host more and more the host are saying senator, how's your bill doing rid how many cosponsors have you got rid at extremely constructive . that people don't get away with just what sometimes is called virtue signaling. i'd like china, i want to stop them somehow. here's my bill, that's i

, china is a rising threat.untry, it's about to be the number one economy in the world. this isn't like the cold war where you can force russia to spend itself into bankruptcy. that isn't going to be possible with china. i think generally right now voters are not focused on foreign policy but china is the number one threat, the trump administration has been trying at least earlier in the campaign to say that the biden was soft on china but i think there is a surprising amount of agreement between the two parties on how serious this threat is. >> bret: not a lot of agreement about russia but the fbi director saying this today. >> we certainly have seen very active efforts by the russians to influence our election in 2020 through what i would call the malign foreign influence side of things. i think the intelligence community has assessed this publicly primarily to denigrate vice president biden and what the russians see as kind of an anti-russian establishment. >> thank goodness the current administration is taki

legitimizes china does it. well yes in a way because a government in a country has to be quite clear where its borders lie and if the other country the country with whom it has a disputed border says that the border does not lie in place x. but lies in place why then this country cannot start seeing differing perceptions and so on and so forth but each country has to be clear when it's what i'd like. you know we if you are if you're rationalizing this this issue of deferring perceptions you also rationalizing aggressive action by the other side to capture the border up to where that country believes its border lights so i think that there's a there's a bit of sort of excuse making that is going on over here when they're talking about deploying perceptions the fact is that the chinese have entered into a territory that lines on the indian side of the indian perceptions and strong india's viewpoint there can be only one set of perceptions so to that extent this is a bit of an excuse making sort of statement sort

and china.ld customers in hong kong. having the benefit from the customers. don't get the international travelers. we don't see forecasts which are more positive as the pandemic on one side plus restrictions on other side limit the number of tourists on the island. does this dynamic affect your business decisions like opening more stores? jean-marc: i would say that this year, we will open at least a minimum of eight stores. we have not reduced the number of stores opening, especially in a, but also america. all of our stores will open in china where we will have 50 stores for our brand, which makes china by far the largest country in terms of the number of stores in the world. it is a third of locations in the world. talk about the macroeconomic picture. we had strength in the u.s. dollar, but of course, this trend has been weakening this gtv chart on the bloomberg. for our viewers, showing how the dollar rsi, climbing from the most oversold levels of the last decade as we continue to see the w

china. there is this amazing unwillingness to say the obvious of what is how his china has changed in the last 40 years i mean you. always here they're building more nuclear weapons and they're building their navy and you know all of their military technology but they don't talk about how many people per pulled out of poverty and how china is on the cutting edge of so many technologies right now because you can't admit that because it will then you have to look in the mirror and look at your own failings and this is what american elites can simply refuse to do is it it's not the success of china it you know they don't want to talk about the success of china but they certainly won't admit they're all of the neo liberalism and how that is really damaged the united states' economy and its middle class. if you take a look at what's transpired and then in the people's republic of china over the last half century clearly there's the good the bad. and if you point out the bad then you're interferin

and china is developing on military consistent with these goals. >>host: here's the piece in foreign affairs ideology delusion in the current edition, america's competition with china is not about doctrine. with the asian part of the world? >> with that strategy under jim matus continued including the secretary of defense esper. so we need to laser focused in asia. and then they began to vector but with that requisite urgency and then to be much more economical and the middle east. europe is our second priority but it is much less severe and the allies are much stronger to play a larger role. long-term you will see more focus on asia-pacific and china and in other theaters in the middle east and europe. >>host: our guest is elbridge colby formally with the defense department d former defense deputy assistant secretary our first caller from pennsylvania. >>caller. >> i was wondering about the border dispute on the himalayan's with china? >> something that president mentioned at the news conference what kind of battles does china have with india rece

in the south china sea japan in the east china sea the there we saw the bloody violent clash on the indian chinese border that's really has been threatened by china i think that they've already got plenty of problems the last thing they want to do is be pulled into a situation where there's a real conflict between the u.s. china and taiwan and they're being asked to take sides i think they're in a they're between a real rock and a hard place on the one hand they're deeply reliant on the chinese economy on the other hand they don't want to be told and certainly don't want to be sort of put under the thumb of this newly assertive china so the neighbors are all watching and as they watch the situation continue to terry and will this change if the u.s. elects spine as president and that's of course assuming the premise that the u.s. is what determines relations and not what president xi or president. yeah i think melissa you bring up a very good point we're only going to see an election as you know in one of him in washington and we're not going to see any change of leadership in beijin

also coming up back home to australian journalists returned from china after being caught in a diplomatic standoff donald trump is accused of trying to rush through a coronavirus vaccine for political gains and calling for help anger in senegal over the government's response to devastating floods yes. thank you very much for joining us india and china are both accusing the others soldiers of firing shots in a new confrontation along their disputed himalayan border china says indian troops crossed the line of control in the western region on monday and opened fire and its soldiers took what it called countermeasures but a short time ago india's military laid the blame with china accusing it of provocative measures to escalate tension both sides usually avoid firing a using firearms in the area will be live with elizabeth rainham in india's capital new delhi in just a moment but 1st a katrina you in beijing so katrina once again we have conflicting claims from both sides about what's happening at that border region what is beijing saying happened in the state this incident. that's right ful

has gone over to describing china as a systemic rival was not mean well i mean china has deployed its own ideas in international institutions for instance and aid i did nations where they propagate their own idea of human rights which is basically one which is without any civic rights as both like social rights you say like you give do you want something to eat and that you should be thankful for so china has been undermining the liberal institutions not trying to abolish them but like to be like changing the game the games of the rules of the game you know you know because and just to give us an idea about on top of all the things that you talk about already what will role does the corona pandemic play in all this. you know code 19 wherever it came from. in china as it emerged there really has obviously brought things into very sharp focus and i think is being used as an opportunity by beijing to buy into europe or to try to bind your very closely to china along the lines of you know here's a crisis we must pull together our interests of the same and then the the the pushbutton point

we suspended our flame to china -- our flying to china on february 1. the recovery starts from today for aviation. 2021 would be in estimate probably on the long haul side. 50% of 2019. our goal and aim, assuming that things become a bit more normal once vaccines are possible in 2021, 2022, we would likely be profitable. we have the right cost base, fleet, market for partnerships, but we are subject to demand and opening of those borders. which is why it is so essential that we introduce testing across the u.k. at the leadership position so that flying can resume freely. >> what does that testing program look like? how would you like to see it work? >> the idea would be testing before departure, so people know when they arrive at their destination, they can go about it. i think we have to accept that beginning we can do a trial where we can do at departure and arrival, which are more rapid, cheaper, easier to facilitate, and not distracting from testing at the nhs, schools, and other infrastructure. the idea would be to give confidence and get rid of qu

and china.s finalizing action against tiktok and we chat. >> china fights back over its himalayan border dispute with india. says indian forces illegally crossed the line. >> plus, japan's veteran secretary is maintaining easy milk -- using military policy but says more than -- more can be done. mostly high,ets extending the global rally after another record for the s&p and the nasdaq. the benchmark in china is up by 3/10 of 1%. 54.5 in july. by 100%,00 index is up adding to the one point 8% gain. the s&p is coming online right now, of 3/10 of 1%. look at the gains for the regional markets. look at that nifty futures contract, also pointing to the upside. the indian bonds are actually having their best week in something like 19 months. there has been strengthening of late. withuld help india deal imported inflation, coming against a backdrop where we are seeing the dollar come some weakness, strengthening their 3/10 of 1% on the dollar index. haslinda? haslinda: let's get to the first word news.

china. in the earliest days of the virus, china locked down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and infects the world. virus, we should enhance solidarity and get through this together. we should follow the guidance of and follow the world health organization and launch a joint international response to beat the pandemic. any attempt of politicizing the issue or stigmatization must be rejected. shery: tom mackenzie joining us from beijing for more. it was interesting that in the past, president trump singled out smaller rivals, say north korea or iran, but this time around, centering his entire speech on china. who was the real audience here for his speech? tom: china was absolutely front and center. the real audience was the domestic u.s. audience, just days away -- months away. the election on november 4. this was a domestically focused speech and he really took china to task. he said the united nations needed to hold beijing accountable for the pandemic. as you heard

they're talking about china in a negative light blaney things on china certainly the coronavirus pandemic which you mentioned you know president trump has stated that it's led to a mass worldwide killing and said that china covered it out and biden hasn't done much better to be honest about it and you know both candidates have talked about being tough on china we've definitely seen president trump's track record in terms of the trade war we've heard yet it biden talk about the fact that he wished prohibit u.s. companies from abetting repression wanted quote at supporting the chinese surveillance states also talking about imposing economic sanctions on beijing and so these are this is something that definitely is in the air although right now i think they occur on a virus issue is on the top of the list it's going to be a junior i mean yeah i think as i said i consider my introduction and it's a lot of written rhetoric because the captains of industry in finance have done extremely well in their interactions with china over the last few decades i don't think they want to see that change on

i'm proud that china has the pandemic under control.china's leadership has cast itself as the savior of the nation and as a friend in need of broad. in the global struggle against the virus we have acted with wisdom and strength. we have filled our international duties responsibly and with transparency. in beijing's great hall of the people there is no room for doubt and this is no time for admitting mistakes. the country's foremost coronavirus expert is honored by being himself. jong features prominently in the exhibition 2 others are simply ignored. sounded the alarm over the coronavirus while the authorities were still denying its existence the doctor from mohan was forced to recant and forbidden to speak up again the contract of the disease and died for weeks the pandemic spread throughout the country unchecked because of the coverup. despite being locked out of the official history lisa's story is not forgot. that you have got a book which you can actually vision can show everything i think whistleblowers are pioneers and we should
