i want to see what do we make with china? what do we lose with china? maria: a candidate who ran on the platform of holding china accountable was now turning his campaign rhetoric into white house policy. there is some question about the china deal that, you know, you are not going to be able to get china to stop dealing intellectual property. >> we have a policing aspect to this deal that's the strongest anybody has ever had. if that happens, i will turn in the deal. we are taking billions of dollars first time ever against china in tariffs. i'm very happy with that. maria: never before has a dictator for life experienced the pushing and poking as he did with president trump, america's tariffs proved consequential as the chinese economy slid into the slowest growth mode in 29 years. on top of rising pressure from america, protesters on the ground in hong kong, further increased strains on the struggling dictator. their plea for freedom from china was seen and heard around the world, after china tried to institute a new law that forced anyone charged to

and it's all really about china, china, china, ok. and the americans are obsessed with russia, but the rest of, with russia and china at the same time, the europeans are a little bit more in between here. i don't see how they can divide russian china when they're both being the target of aggressive rhetoric at the very least from the us. go ahead, alexander well, when americans, i mean american, the leaves are stuck in about russia or china. they actually don't talk above them, the real russia, china, there's a like run through symbols in the internal pool. so the main idea was for a long time after then what profess loan said union for period unity pull a moment was this is going to become an age of union or it will be there forever. so as o a d o and just they and the american, the leads i would say and they rejected sex, rejected for a long time. the fact that russia and china was coming together and was forming a kind of defect to ally and senior regime, which wasn't used to be a nightmare to jo jo, political thinkers like june sk

china's old, it was vast, but china had fallen behind technologically. their ships were not as manoeuvrable as the british ships. they're canons were woefully behind. the chinese canons were perhaps -- cast in bronze, made in portugal in the 16 hundreds. british cannons were the finest and most accurate that could be. had written handily won the first and second of the so-called opium wars, and use that opportunity to demand the china open up several of the ports including ningpoe, shanghai, and tiensen it said era. when we look at these political cartoons, we look around. when we take a look at these political cartoons, you get an idea of what was to happen. here, we see china shown as a sleeping dragon. of course, a reference to napoleon's comment that was, china's a sleeping giant. and fighting over the carcass, you see the british lion, the russian bear, the american eagle, the french rooster, etc. all fighting over the carcass, and where exactly, it was easier for people to march and take over a whole section of china, and rule it as if it were thei

and out of the south china seas. i would be glad to answer questions about hong kong and taiwan but i want to direct your attention to the south china sea because we don't pay enough attention to what's going on although it is important. to reflect a new tactic that's the thing dealing with the communist party. they have new tactics so what's happening at the south china sea is a trial run of the tactic. it means that it's without using military. basically it enables the country to expand its territories without having to fight a traditional war that's what they call the gray zone tactic when it expanded in the south china sea. so it is a very strategic body of water in southeast asia. it's a major trade route so 90% of the trade going into china goes through that and china and several countries including malaysia, philippines and vietnam share claims of this body of water. sometimes the claimant overlaps. so there are historical disputes over what area is yours versus mine. this is also the area with huge mineral an

china. as with russia, which is of us will corporate all in areas where the us interest in all other areas will seek to confront china and that's kind of limits the, the scope of diplomacy. and i agree to a large extent would be my, i don't think ology is the driving variable here. i think the u. s. it's rather it's instrumental for him on the policy because the, the cured, the strategies are openly based on global him on his much everything black and white. so the rice of china itself becomes the problem. it's not merely that there are some competing interest in china itself. that has to be cut down in size and sorry that was supposed to develop and grow under the wing of united states, you know, supply every little thing. good thing now is trying to taking this technological leadership, living industry and building infrastructure around the world is getting the growing footprints in global finance. and this is very problematic as the u. s. does not recognize eagles in a world based on glob

but this enters into what china china is one of the founding member. and they want this belt and wrote initiative right without rans, active presence. and as role as the link between the east and west and china's plan, it will be difficult to achieve the goals of reviving the soap road. and china is well aware of this. because in both land and sea routes around geo political position on the south road is vital. the plan which includes 2 trade routes, the silk road, economic belt, and the 21st century maritime silk road involves investing in the economic infrastructure of more than $65.00 countries. the economic belt which covers the land root of the soak road and as the ancient root of the south road connects china to eastern and western europe through central asia and west asia. and the countries of chris extend cause expand is becca been around turkey, ukraine. it includes poland, belgium, france, and finally italy, right? and, you know, things are happening quickly in that region. he got the new pipeline, nordstrom to going where i from russia to ge

china. a panel of experts discussed intellectual property theft, xenophobia, and disinformation regarding covid-19. this is about two hours. [indistinct conversations] senator warner: good afternoon. i call this hearing to order, and welcome to our witnesses. a good, good friend of the committee's, the honorable bill evanina, former director of the national counterintelligence and security center. he is the founder and ceo of the evanina group, and in many ways a lot of what we're going to be talking about today he has worked on with his members of this committee on for many, many years. anna puglisi, sorry, anna, senior fellow at the center for security and emerging technology or cset at georgetown university. and on webex, matt pottinger, the distinguished visiting fellow at the hoover institute and former deputy national advisor. -- deputy national security advisor at the white house. today, the committee will examine the counterintelligence threats posed by the people's republic of china

china. china's ability to influence american institutions is persistent. leadership in these naughty sectors would have major repercussions for security. since world war ii, the united states have led in both scientific research and the development of transformational technology. it is this leadership that is related into decades of economic success for u.s. companies and our military abilities. the u.s. and like-minded democracies also set the global standards and protocol for new technology. we can implant in those standards our values. democracy, transparency, diversity of opinion, and respect for human rights. that is a long-term value to our country that is not factored in. i am frustrated by the fricassee but which u.s. companies, in their desire for market access in china have given up on tho se values. it has allowed the prc to acquire u.s. technology. they would make sacrifices going into that market nowhere else in the world. china wants to advance his own vision. to control its po

and in both cases china loses for a very simple reason china was old china was vast but china had fallen behind technologically. her ships were not as maneuverable as the british ships. they would have stayed at the art. her cannons were woefully behind the chinese cannons were cast of bronze and made it in portugal in the 1600s. the british cannons were again the very finest there could be had in the most accurate. so britain handily won the first and second of these so called open wars and used that opportunity to demand the china open up several other ports, including ning paul. parts of shanghai chiensen etc. once this news became known this is what happened if we take a look at this political cartoon, you can step around. if you take a look at this political cartoon you get an idea of what was to happen. here we see china shown as a sleeping dragon, of course a reference to a napoleon's comment that china was a sleeping giant and fighting over the carcass. we see the british lion the russian bear the american eagle the french rooster etc. they're all farting over the carcass to be m

you said the coming war on china, out of you noticed the difference here is god's palestine with china, apparently trying to force the issue with a statement from the un security council to go overseas for against the wishes of the united states. the whole turn, the whole campaign against china and the campaign against palestine. one in the same thing, it is about control is about imperial powers such a certain time in their history threatened they feel threatened. they're not actually threatened. they have threatened in economic terms in those they may, there they are, economic prosperity is receding. but so in order to correct this, they play me with the prospect of war. it's a terribly dangerous game. when i made becoming more against china and that was in 2016, i wrote that title almost says a provocation. if i was doing that, phil, now i would say it's a reality in a few short years. china from being in many sense as a strategic ally of the west. certainly in the so called war against terrorism, it was and it's a relationship of trade and currencies. this was a peaceful, a peacefu

china. a panel of national security experts discussed intellectual property theft, xenophobia, and disinformation regarding covid-19. this is about two hours. ill. the former director of the counter into religions -- intelligence and security center. a lot of what we are going to be talking about today, he has worked on for many years. senior fellow at the center of security and emerging technology at torch down university. -- georgetown diversity. on webex, matt, the visiting fellow at the hoover institute and beauty national advisor -- national security advisor. the committee will examine the counterintelligence threats posed by the people's republic of china and the chinese communist party. we will look at their activities within the united states as a works to acquire critical u.s. technologies, hack into the u.s. cyber network, and conduct influence operations to shape narratives to be more favorable to the prc and pcc. we hope you will recommend -- you will share recommendations for co

which leaves us with more chinese based journalists working in china and covering china.n, of course, in the west is that the main chinese media always toes the party line. how fair is that suggestion, in yourview, sha hua? i think there are some topics where you... there's sometimes quite a bit of debate in china and then suddenly something happens and you realise the leadership has come down the line and it's communicated downwards. and then all the publications come out with the same party line, with the same narrative. but before that, there's actually quite a lot of debate. and i think we also have to be aware that there are a lot of publications in china and they're affiliated to different departments, different ministries, and they might actually take different views on certain issues. i, for example, cover climate. and i think some of my reporting has shown that, you know, the environmental ministry may not necessarily agree with the economic planners or the energy administration. the other thing i would say is, and i think amy most probably knows this quite well,

they're trying to break that area off a china decree greatly, often china basically. so the terms of overall social cohesion, china is basically full speed ahead. as far as i know there are, there are times of time there are certain issues people get upset about, but it's nothing like what we see in the united states. are you seeing buildings getting burned down in china while every country is going to have to make deal with what they have, you know, going forward going that area of d globalization and lot of it's based on character and history and we'll see how it all works. out but it's going to be interesting. next 20 to 30 years. dan, thanks so much for being on kaiser report. thanks a lot. all right, not going to do it for this edition of kaiser report with may max kaiser and stacy herbert want to thank our gas, dan collins. and so next time, by all the me the the the is that with the mark, mark your function, you go with a good way to show me to do john? i got i've got that limit and i wanted them off. you're gonna be able to do it this the work for me from abov

intelligence on china or consistent with china's action in the global marketplace.hey are not. they are an unlawful dishonest competitor in the world marketplace but more importantly number one adversary, top national security threat, they want to supplant us as the world superpower and wall street investment banks that have been the biggest perpetrators of the false narrative as china as noble strategic competitor and they do so because those -- those investment banks are selling trillions, not billions, but trillions of dollars in debt in equities to chinese companies and investors and so, you know, i was really troubled by what mr. dimon said and 3 times he said, we shouldn't get -- china acts like any other country in the world and we shouldn't get breathless over them. that's just simply not true. there's no country who has done more to damage the world economy or the citizens of the world -- over the past few years than china. china and china alone is responsible for millions and millions of deaths from covid-19 and the action that is they took to cover it up.

china. poor jenn could attack europe and just take your defense just because the space will be absorbed in a wall with china. and all of these because over the last few project last him to because it will give money to put so which would be able to after i'd vote, can just and watch and political a us, china war would likely absorb most if not all us economic and military capability and consequently cable undermine its credibility to provide deterrents in europe. and because of that such, it will provide you with the march law for a peculiar to remedy your ashes, defeat at the end of the cold war in 1891. i mean, if this is broken, then what is and the problem is that the people who are such a pinion, they are not guys from the street. you know, they are form advisors to the british defense ministry at their high placed us official such as far cause, you know, she, she made similar claims about ukraine being sold out to the, to the russia and just shows you how absurd the western media and t

seas and east china seas. i mean, just look at the job. chinese aggression in the south during the sea is prevented by country what a that you tens of thousands of miles away from that, right? how can this be? where is the want to hear? good, go ahead of it because, i mean the 2 countries are at loggerheads, but i mean at least even if it was absolutely right to point out a lower level than probably should be if it wasn't appropriate. and i think that obviously the chinese that, that as a slight here, but there is a reckoning on both sides. that it either we continue the spiral down with unintended consequences or start facing up to the fact that this is going to be a long log ahead. if we want to avoid them a serious conflict including a military. com. go ahead. yeah, no, i think there's a recognition that they need diplomacy, but again, what are the achieve and how much rooms for maneuver is there? because us has been there opened that it will have the same format in purpose for diplomacy towards china. as w

china. it is interesting the editor of the global times, the state run media commented then and hinted that china is not as arrogant as the americans to swoop in. they are not so sure that they would go in. argue for the case for why they need stability for the belt and road initiative to stan and what economic interests they have in afghanistan -- through paskistan. ian: the chinese are not about to take the baton and send tens of thousands of troops on the ground in afghanistan. no question about that. but they are the major power in the region now that will be most affected by the fact that the taliban, the taliban are a failed state. so we already see chinese leaders that are sort of throwing promises of diplomatic support and eventually economic investment into afghanistan. and chinese have been killed, a bus in pakistan because they are seen as too active on the ground. this is going to be a problem for china going forward, no question. caroline: closer to home, you mentioned that most

and you know, that whole region of the world of this, the cities trap, the silk road, china, china, emerging, and all the problems happening in afghanistan, the middle east, that certain area of the world. we're going to look at something called that i just learned about. but i'm going to read you the wikipedia because it's really interesting in light of what's happening with the u. s. poll losing an afghanistan . and then around announcing that they say that they're joining their officially going to be accepted. and the shanghai cooperation organization, which i have not been in the previous 2 times. they applied, so the geographical pivot. and this was introduced by sir, how ford john mack hinder. ok, ma kinder. he was an english geographer, academic and politician who is regarded as one of the founding fathers of both geo politics and geo strategy. so he dubbed this phrase the geographical pivot of history. it is an article submitted by him in 190004 to the royal geographical society that advances his heart land theory. in this article, ma kinder extended the scope of geopolitical analysi

and china. in some ways even more important, a bilateral relationship to manage to avoid -- i wonder if you would reflect a bit on those historic opening discussions you had that led to the beginning of the u.s.-china relationship and compared to where we are now. what your goals were then in whatever goals were -- what our goal should be no. >> a prisoner in vietnam. he had been a prisoner for many years. at the end of the vietnam war, i was in hanoi to conclude the final negotiations. said to me you can take commander mccain home on you -- home with you on your plane as a sign of goodwill. i did not think it was such a great sign of goodwill ahead of the commander in pacific would come home with me on a presidential plane. in any case, i refused to take it. and i was wondering in the four months that intervened before i met him, which was at a white house reception and john mccain came up to me and said thank you for saving my honor. we became good friends. through all the years afterwards, in

there's no question that china _ countries like china?nd is going to develop its industry. the thing is china's emissions per capita per person of already overtaken the european union, the uk and the block off a lot of countries as a whole. china is starting to have a very significant responsibility also on the per capita basis. likely, if you look at china's plans and policies, this is all about developing new industries, making sure that china possibles industries are ready for this century and for the, and so there's no contradiction between industrialisation and carbon neutrality. industrialisation and carbon neutrality-— industrialisation and carbon neutrali . ., , industrialisation and carbon neutrali . ., neutrality. thank you. joining us on newsda . new charges have been filed against the prominent kremlin critic alexei navalny, who is already serving time in prison. the authorities claim his anti—corruption foundation infringes on people's rights. the organisation was recently declared extremist and banned. it had published inves

but i think this rhetoric will also be very useful for china because china wants something in return.red with this region in china, and beijing has long been concerned about the islamic and uighur militants attacking chinese mainland and, you know, they certainly wouldn't want to, with the taliban, provide a shelter for them. let me go back to janet and michael. pakistan is an interesting example that vincent mentioned because you could say its relationship with the taliban has been ambiguous, to say the least, and that has had consequences for america, which has regarded pakistan as an important ally in the region. should it be rethinking that relationship? i think it should and i hope it does and i hope that journalists and historians get to work on trying to get to the core of the relationship between the taliban and pakistan. we have heard bits and pieces over more than 20 years, 25 years, 30 years to the creation of the mujahideen, when they were trying to get the russians out of afghanistan in the late 19805. and it is an absolutely critical thing and i know... i don't know if w

is it packaged or is it china already? was it had already been shy except that in yeah, i tried to manage a relationship with china in a different way because it hasn't, you know, history or what dishing on august on trying to apply. so the summer was against india, or putting in, di claim on india with regard to a new capability. and thinking that china gave or to the messiah and nuclear capability. and china has, after the occupation of tibet become for the 1st time in history. the 1st time in history neighbor and we had the $962.00 conflict in which india was sort of a deal on the border. and since then into the number of years, india has title manage the relationship with china. digging into account the fact that it's a neva, it's a big follow and ominous enmity with it would not be helpful and try and find some common ground rich china and do until die in recent years started becoming much more aggressive, especially from 2005 with regard to get it audio pains on china and then the recent direct conflict in the east o

number two, mainland china so it's happening in hong kong and taiwan and the south china sea. i would be glad to talk about and answer questions on high hong kong and taiwan but i want to direct your attention to the south china sea because we don't pay enough attention to what's going onug even though it is extremely important and reflects a new tactic that's the thing we are dealing with that comes to new tactics with its aggression and so what's happening at the south china sea is an example with the gray zone tactic so it means it's about the territory without using military so basically it enables the country to expand its territory without having to fight a traditional war. that's what we call the gray zone tactics in the south china sea so 90% of the trade going with china and including malaysia, philippines and vietnam shares claims on this body of water. there is a historical dispute and this is also an area with huge oil and gas deposits. it's a huge deposit of resources, so all the countries share this body of water. what china did was under the first administration

in general, our china equities team has raised the discount rate on investing in china so the hurdleigher. however, having derated quite a bit in terms of the market since april, we are seeing things, stock market prices stabilizing in august. is it time to go back? we don't think so. the milestone would be for the government. we see company specific spot checks but i think in the next couple of months, they might come up with a more credible and institutional framework so that becomes more transparent. i think if we see that, it may be the beginning of the bottoming of the chinese stock market. >> he always have to look ahead if you want to make money. are you in the camp that says stick with consumer discretionary and big tech at this point because you don't have certainty about the virus, etc. but are you -- or are you in the camp that says look at reopening trade, this will start getting better. where are you? >> if we are looking at china, we are probably in the sectors that are more in line with a long-term government policies such as green energy, sports and fitness. anything

and china.ssentially you have two countries that will continue to dominate, demand by the biggest economies in the world, they have companies that are run extremely well, taiwan semiconductors, samsung, they are fantastic companies. the problem of course is valuations are high, and when valuations are high, you have to look deep to find companies that are not so well covered, that trade at a margin of safety. without that, any dipped down in the market leaves you very vulnerable. 25 times pe is not a cheap valuation. haidi: what are you expecting from jackson hole? is it a goldilocks expectation, is there a risk the fed could be behind the curve? guest: that is the fear. there are signs inflation is in the u.s. and elsewhere, they have to deal with supply chains. the question in the u.s. is whether or not labor will come back into the workforce after the $300 extra per week. that starts september 2 i think. whether people return to the workforce, at that point, kids go back to school. wages are

within china. and that's probably the biggest reason if they really wanted to get rid of them or they wanted to do something or they would have done it years ago. so the leaders are provide labor, they provide very cost low cost, labor costs, and china will keep that. but you've got to separate that from the taliban because afghanistan with the minerals that they have. and with the buddy, remember the us reserve federal reserve just cut off all their cash. they literally have about $10.00 in the bank. so they need china cash more than anything else. and china is very willing to put cash into something where they know they'll get a magnificent return. chinese are pretty smart that way. well, be real interesting to see how quickly this actually starts to flow. and that's how it is it, right to say that they're trying to recognize them as equal. and you've also have other government saying the taliban establishes a government. it doesn't matter necessarily about the human rights issues. do you think o

china was old. china was vast. china had fallen behind technologically. her ships were not as maneuverable as britain's where. they were state of the art. the cannons were behind. the chinese cannons were cast of bronze and made in portugal in the 1600s. the british cannons were the finest that could be had and most accurate. britain handily won the first and second of these so-called opium wars and used that opportunity to demand that china open up several of the ports, including shanghai, et cetera. once this news became known this is what happened. if we take a look at this political cartoon -- you can step around. if you take a look at this political cartoon, you get an idea of what was to happen. here we see china shown as a sleeping dragon. of course, a reference to napoleon's comment that china was a sleeping giant. fighting over the carcass we see the british lion, the russian bear, the american eagle, the french rooster, et cetera. they are all fighting over the carcass. to be more exact, it was quite common for people to march in and just take o

she is a member of china's muslim minority, a group that some experts say china is focused on wiping the united states, what did it feel like? >> good to see you! >> byon, do you remember when you met us over in kazakhstan? do you remember? your mom was crying, right? what did you say to her? >> you look happier than last time, compared to the last time i saw you. are you happier now? for two years you didn't see your mom? >> i missed you. >> did you tell byon exactly what you were being forced to do in china? >> reporter: there are very few images of the camps, from satellite photos, photos from the government, and cell phone photos leaked by activists. from an investigation into the so-called prisons, artists created these harrowing scenes based on the testimonies of more than 50 former detainees. the united nations and rights groups say more than 1 million people have been detained in camps like these. some forced into slave labor factories, making products linked to the biggest brands in the world. thousands of shipments coming into the u.s. every year. >> it's not enough to just

i think the bigger issue here is that the propaganda from this is just fabulous for china. china has their own problems, of course. and so now they get to change the narrative. america bad look how stupid they are. they couldn't work with these people. look at us where the great guys were going to come in. we're going to put $500000000000.00 trillion dollars into building the infrastructure that they couldn't get before. and they will, they will have a hand in lower lower costs. so when they have lower cost, gosh, guess what? you know, they'll be more competitive. this is, you know, trying to place a long game, the taliban play the long game. united states is played a very short game and we pay the serious price. well, i have to also want to retire does not have the best record in regards to religious, right. firstly, for the muslim community, do you think the taliban did their research actually to see what was going on or is being claimed right now, the accusations against china in regards to the muslims that exists within their training. and is that something that could even be con

the china antitrust regular is reviewing blackstone's offer to buy soho china.ular so they may suggest additional information. i was offered more than -- they were offered more than $3 billion in aid stake. j.p. morgan has won approval from chinese regulators for full ownership of his china securities venture. the bank had already moved to a stake to 71% in november. that's the latest signal that u.s. financial firms are moving forward with plans, despite tensions with beijing. haidi: a south korean parole review committee is due to convene on monday to discuss the cases of the samsung vice chairman. he could be freed on august 13 at the justice minister approves control cash parole, i should say, after serving prison time. what are we expecting from the review committee meeting today? reporter: today is certainly a big day for him. the justice mistry will decide whether to grant parole to him. liberation day would be august 18th. if a majority of the members vote in favor of him, the justice miniter will give approval later this afternoon. if all things go well

can be seen as a counterweight to china's growing influence. now, how is china viewing visit? while china's official sin one use agency portrayed harris's visit as a drive to contain china. and it also describes the us approach as outdated cold war thinking intended to create division and confrontation. now one of the things that harris will have to contend with during her visit is answering questions about of gonna start collapse and answering questions about us as credibility and commitment in keeping his foreign policy promises. in the us, at least 23 people have been killed. shoeing floods with central tennessee, you know, the 430 millimeters of rain fell on today. shattering a previous records rescue crews is searching for dozens are still missing. the power to hampton move efforts, floods forced away roads, destroyed homes, and tropical storm on re, is battering a stretch of the northeastern coast of the united states, just hours after being downgraded from a hurricane. millions of people embracing for flash floods, violent winds, and power cuts. john henry is in montauk
