with china. in all of this, how do young taiwanese people see their future? if you ask them, would you consider yourself. a taiwanese or a chinese, 80% will say, i'm only. taiwanese, not chinese, i because we're so different. hello, and welcome to a special and rather different edition of unspun world. as donald trump comes back to power in washington, i'll be looking at several of the key conflicts which he faces, and giving a bit of a personal view of how we got here. this first programme will focus on the relationship with china, because china is a country which, over the last ten years, has become increasingly difficult for media organisations like the bbc to operate in. i've come to taiwan, a self—governing territory off the chinese coast which could become a majorflash point if president xijinping of china decides to invade it. the capital, taipei, is orderly, gentle, perhaps a bit drab, but certainly not flashy like the big cities of the mainland. taiwan is where the nationalist forces end

china has not made good — next two years. china has not made good on _ next two years.as not made good on their— next two years. china has not l made good on their agricultural purchases forfour years made good on their agricultural purchases for four years and if confirmed, next week, i would start pushing for them to resume the purchases and event i would conference with president trump on whether he believes that there should be inaudible.— believes that there should be inaudible. ., �* ,, ., inaudible. scott bessent also outline how — inaudible. scott bessent also outline how the _ inaudible. scott bessent also outline how the trump - outline how the trump administration could use tariffs for several purposes. firstly to address unfair trade practices, second, as a tool to raise revenue for the federal budget, and that, as leverage in trade negotiations. as for the use of sanctions, he said he was 100% on board, increasing sanctions on russian oil makers. the edge fund me is seen by many as a safe pair of hands for one of the country's most important economicjobs, m

it is fair to say with respect by peace and security china has the best track r record third, china'sonic supporter we firmly see you and at its core in the international order based on international law. chinese people always honor our common enemies and commitments. that's the first question. the possible consequences of the theworld splits into two differt systems. and how to do about it. i think if that is the case the consequences will be unimaginable if the world becomes divided. it would be very difficult for humanityty to address common challenges together and in a worst-case would possibly allow compensation. that would be a situation know can stay unaffected. president xi once said all countries in the world are like passengers inwe the same big shp we share the same future i need to act with stronger global solidarity to narrow down the division and avoid unimaginable consequences we should work together to bring to life t division of community with the sharedy document for mankind ad mentalities at that same time in this process, i think the role of major companies is very

i think china's economy is a curious _ is? i think china's economy is a curious thing _ is? _ is? i think china's economy is a curious thing to behold, - is? i think china's economy is a curious thing to behold, on| a curious thing to behold, on the one hand you have what everybody i think really understands and sees a lot of nowadays, which is a very advanced modern sector that is advanced modern sector that is a world leader in things like electric vehicles and batteries, wind and solar equipment, and a lot of manufacturing. this is a very dynamic part of the economy, but it is only about seven to 10% of the economy. much of the rest is pretty much flat on its back, actually. and so the numbers which came out for china today, which confirmed the government's target was met, it is always met every year, are a bit of a fiction, really. and don't really tell the full story about how challenged large swathes of the economy are by debt, by poor productivity, by overproduction... productivity, by overroduction. .. productivity, by overroduction... ., overproduction... tell me mo

we get the china. you know, they call it the china curse. we get the china curse. they're better. and their air is dirty. covid, our gift from china. >> all right. so talk tough about china. that has been the hallmark of trump's career. now, though, china is pulling out all the stops to cater to trump. the vice president headed to his inauguration. chinese kids are even learning the ymca. write the song heard at about every rally that's going to be performed at trump's inauguration. artists are making sculptures of trump, and there's one person very close to trump. oh. extremely close. his partner, in fact, right now in governing, who no doubt is hoping that trump will be won over by all the flattery. >> i'm a big fan of china. let me say that. i mean, i've got a lot of fans in china. well, the feelings are super heated elon musk i mean, of all the people in trump's inner circle, musk has the biggest financial stake in china. >> i mean, it's it's you can't underestimate it. it's crucial to his entire business empire, to his his hundreds of billions. china is one of the biggest mar

is not the us against china. other countries need to protect their sectors against china. if you have tears coming on china from, from the you, from brazil, from countries in, in south east asia because of the same, i have a fair trade practices that china is using when it comes to electric vehicles. you also have concerns throughout the world, including the united states, but everywhere else about china is excess capacity that they're dumping into markets at this. hollowing out some, some of the industrial bases that, that you see in the us and you see elsewhere. so part of this is going to be use the world, you know, it is, you se, asia in parts japan, korea, what are they going to do visa v, china? and then how is china going to react? because if you see this, you know, china plus one this, this diversification of supply chain out of china because of the tariffs, the us has been putting out. it's not just the us and the japanese, and the your opinions that are diversifying out of china. it's the chinese who ar

helping to offset china tariff concerns following trump's reiteration. 10% china tariffs on all china imports still on the table. chinese stocks underperforming although i would note that this is following on from a couple of sessions of games. something where a breather was due. note that 10% is not quite as bad as the 60% that was floated previously. still, these declines in chinese stocks reflect how fragile sentiment is on the mainland and in hong kong. as i say, it's really and ai playthings to trump. -- play thanks to trump. double-digit surge to the highest level since july. some analysts have already put it as a green line from trump on all things ai. boosting not just the chipmakers but also data centers. cable makers. for a, among them in japan. also double-digit kleins -- climbs. you touched on this earlier. the boj on friday. i would just say when it comes to these tariff threats, it is showing up in the pressure on the renminbi and the yen. this is coming despite the expectations that the boj is good to go on friday. if you recall, when he gave his toughest -- dovish pres

in china goods. but, but this actually makes it a lot more expensive to do things in china because the tariff is applied on a 100 percent of the value. but only a 3rd of it is actually from china, a vacation. many people are terrified by now. they are afraid to go to hotels like this behind me, major fluids and that they are now doubting the safety standards of the hotels. and of course, there are many institutions and people to be questions about. we know that present drugs up type gone the has living is about to arrive in bullets to, to where a funeral is being helped to show his solidarity with the people. i said him, i know that there's an investigation going on, do we know what they are looking at as well? and there are 6 persecutors involved in this investigation and they are trying to figure out what exactly caused the fire. what do you have been hearing about has been reported since yesterday, and the fire was broke, called inside the kitchen on the 4th floor. the 4th floor is actually the 1s

these are the china and then how is china going to react? because if you see this, you know, china plus one this, this diversification of supply chain out of china because of the tariffs, the us has been putting out. it's not just the us and the japanese, and the your opinions that are diversifying out of china. it's the chinese who are diversifying out of china and what is that going to do? there is upsides and downsize for countries for where china is diversified. so it really is, is not just that, that what's gonna happen between the us and china. it's all the, the effects from it, in addition to enacting to your point, adrian, the us is also going to put tears on other countries, canada, mexico, the you, we're going to see that as well. and so yeah, we're, we're in for a lot of tension in, in trade going forward throughout the world as a result of donald trump's presidency and his approach to an america 1st agenda. i'm glad you brought up the canada there. what are we to make of, of that nonsense of also his threats to, to take greenland

so i think the point here is that there is a realization that today's china is certainly not the china of 8 years ago and must be dealt with accordingly. i think what's highly symbolic is president trump invitation of presidency to the inauguration. he's still threatening paris. what does donald trump wants to get out of china with this threat of terrace? well, he's certainly this would have an important impact on chinese businesses. if tariffs are escalated, but the way what i've heard, according to president trump is that terrorists are seen as a general tool to secure the prosperity of the american people. as he said in several of his speeches of the past couple of days, he wants to create a department of x terminal revenue, not an internal revenue to correct to come to collect money from terrace. but the question remains, what does he want to get out of china if he is threatening china with terrorist it is to get what? well, i see this as actually creating opportunity for china, because at the same time he does want to raise terrace for the benefit of the american people. but he al

is going to beat china in ai. does this morning's executive order actually move the needle in a meaningful way, and what does that leave out. >> if you think about ai infrastructure, and am always reminded of a book that i may or may not have read in the late 1990's, "guns, germs, and steel." the book made the case that mason succeeded when they were able to marshal their natural resources to get a competitive advantage. if you think about it i like the electricity of our era. if we can prevail on a key for us to continue to lead the world, that will ultimately be an infrastructure exercise. it's good to be chips, data, talent, it's going to be the energy piece. specifically to your question, i think what the biden administration has put out today sends an interesting signal in the following way -- we have identified that there is roughly $175 billion of dry capital out there globally, looking to invest in ai infrastructure. there is an understanding that there's going to be such a need for it, in part, driven by

how worried are you and how worried is china about that?stors are worried about tariffs, notjust china but everyone. but what we saw in the latest trade data is certainly a front loading of exports to us. so more than 10% increase in exports to the us because of the threat of incoming tariffs. but this is also really a lesson to be learnt. more resilience of chinese exporters and others as well, and also to diversify trade partners away from traditional partners. on thursday, trump's pick for treasury secretary, scott bessent, signalled a tough stance on trade with china when he faced questions from the senate. michelle fleury has the details. if confirmed, scott bessent, donald trump's nominee for treasury secretary, would play a key role in what's expected to be a tough economic stance on china. now, in his testimony, bessent said free trade must be balanced with fair trade and argued that china should not be allowed to flood us and global markets with its products. during questioning by republican senator roger marshall, bessent also emp

and russia was in china is top 5, china is also i, by the way, if you didn't already know this, but i suspect you did try and it was the biggest consumer of russian energy. more details on that commentary. you're going up online at odd c dot com. and that's exactly why all of us stories continue online. and on a friday a lot from moscow. they've got to come in the the altima 2023, a surprise attack launched against israel by how much militaries show the world the no one had expected. the palestinian runs. it goes to have so many cutting edge weapons. in the aftermath of the attack militants open the unlucky rain for the rockets and missiles that rained down on these rays, this is the see the silver the device. how can it be that um the ship to the middle east from a country whose top officials constantly complain about shortages of munitions and military equipments anyway, blueprint, blueprint, bass stem at us and e u military, a totals tens of.

if there is 60% tariffs on china, yes, china will be affected.ariffs in china is not invested in china, period. that is why the market does not react to the news. secondly, 60% tariffs would destroy the u.s. economy. it is not going to happen. president trump knows. he was elected because people were upset about the inflation. he knows and his advisors know . scott bessent is a global macro guy. when was the last time we had one of her own is a treasury secretary? that's great. they understand there is very little room to maneuver in the u.s. 6% budget deficits. interest rates at 5%. the dollar at an all-time high. our view is u.s. assets have been the only place to be in the last 15 years. all the world's money is here. it is priced for exceptionalism. massively priced relative to the rest of the world. we want to say you can have that and we still have positions in the u.s. our focus for 2025-2026 is the u.s. led the way. now the rest of the world will catch up. the rest liberal trades at 13 times forward earnings. the u.s. trades at 22 times f

so this time china, she didn't think very much wanna focus on portraying china as a strong country, stood the country prepared for whatever trump for his assets. and to that end, we had presented to jim ping today would choose to speak with brussels, lead of his intention saying that the bathing must go upon the ship is very strong . that will not be impacted by whatever happens in the us and the aging. also in the months leading up to trump, d, a local agent has made this message clear that it wants to do with trump thoughts if it needs to. it will retaliate against us and us friends to you in beijing. katrina is thank you very much. indeed. joining us now is political economist of david mon live from beijing, so thank you very much indeed for being with us. what's your assessment of china's position when it comes to a trump administration? and there are some of them, the chinese administration who believes that trump will be transactional. i think the more realistic minds seeing that people call trump transactional as if he was a very successful businessman. when we know that he managed

trump: if china did not approve it, we could put tariffs on china. don't forget, we charge them very little -- except for what i did, i put hundreds of billions of dollars until. . i came along, china never paid $.10 to this country. they ripped us off and they never paid anything. if we wanted to make a deal with tiktok and china wouldn't approve it, then i think ultimately they would approve it because we would put tariffs on china. it may be. i am not saying i would, but i certainly could do that. if we said oh, you are not going to approve it, we will put tariffs of 25%, 30%, 40%, 50% even 100%. if we did that, i think they would approve it. reporter: you have seen the other living presidents a couple of times in the last few months, if you had to call on anyone of them for advice, which one would you call? pres. trump: i thought bill clinton was a very good politician. i don't think he was used properly. i think they disrespected him. when hillary was running, he came back and said, you better get up to michigan and wisconsin -- you remember tha

and china promised a lot. it promised that the existing ways the existing freedoms in hong kong would survive for 50 years own currency tax, administration, government, common common law, freedom of press freedom of assembly, freedom of religion all the freedoms that we in open take for granted. this was further codified the basic law, a sort of mini constitution that china wrote and imposed on hong kong and it did promise as you to move towards full democracy which i mean think about it it's just not a big deal honestly. was electing the city council, electing the mayor, the chief executive of the legislative council, even little things proved to be too much, for china. and as you said in 2014, they, they, they back those promises. and the people of hong kong enough. you know, it's been almost decades and you're moving us. what about all these promises? and that's when the students took to the streets and you know very different dynamic between the students and jimmy and apple daily. but they were all trying

do you think china can get around this? what's the goal in china has already been blocked in china. in fact, because china has been blocked, china has trying to develop is boons indigenous technology. let's see, ties be mentioned deeps the china just may be available at such cheap price. people can trying to use. i did see par $6000000.00 tokens for only $0.50 united states. i think they, i would not be able to compete with what us has done is you wrecked the digital for a living wall and basically is keeping up vast majority of the world market. choose a chinese software, so it's not interesting, isn't that interesting? nice one, the carl kevin over to you. what washington has naming 18 of his closest allies, free all for restrictions with these chips, but that still nato, an e u members coming under these chip expos limits. is that by design or is that just a mistake? your thoughts? kevin? i think it is another situation where the by the administration is trying to make it difficult for the incoming administration to operate. we've seen the same thing when it comes to russia and u

you mentioned china for example. the german automotive industry sells hundreds more cars in china. the open market guarantees for prosperity and technical development. i think it should also be part of the talks we will have with the government to have this question. how can we have the greatest impact from both sides of the atlantic and with all partnerships we have right now. a lot of american companies are producing in germany and vice versa. that is the best international trade. >> the trade group hoping to have discussions with the trump administration. thank you for joining us. >>> we stay on the topic of manufacturing and ariffs. our eunice yoon visiting one export center to look at how chinese factories are preparing for tariffs. >> reporter: hoping to beat trump's tariffs, furnish after seller harley lee is doubling the products to the u.s. and storing them in warehouses there. four of five tables and other furnishings are sold to american consumers. we expect to stole piling will force to raise prices as much as 10% even before the tariffs. i have to ship them in advance

china are applied against china are applied a 10% but if higher, i think china will say there is noaliation, let's do something now.- let's do something now. china is seen by _ let's do something now. china is seen by the _ let's do something now. china is seen by the us _ let's do something now. china is seen by the us as _ let's do something now. china is seen by the us as its - is seen by the us as its advisory, but countries like mexico in the firing line. how will they see the tariffs unfolding with what they see trump wanting to implement? they are being accused of allowing too much immigration and too much fentanyl, neither of which seems to be an issue for canada, so here you have been a long—standing best friend, deeply integrated 3—way markets and now you will be hit with a 25% are first and that feels i think deeply alarming and unsettling for canada, mexico, otherallies and unsettling for canada, mexico, other allies of the us, so if you are hitting at the series and allies, what does that mean?— that mean? the date of the first of february _ that mean? the date of the f

they're going to the children in china, this huge pressure to succeed. at the end of high school, every student, like one year in king, my sits, the final exam is the account with them and see the days later, the children are allowed to make a phone call. ray ray can finally speak to mother. here's a samsung eliza industrial jose serial. again, yes, that was the problem i have has. uh so yeah. to ask to this know on 10, ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, thank you. the center. oh, the is also talking to his mother. he said the, the alarm uh yeah, i agree, but it says it on your, on your condo or us or sure. usually the scenario again. oh, you guys are good. you the little by the, the, the charge by me and your call, you know, the, the home, the uh, the, [000:00:00;00] the home uh, what do you, uh, when you're telling you the, the the, the the the little mouse which was the building that could buy a new instruct arrives at the camp, his box contained helmet, some guns that simulate real gun fire. the place the rules of again they called town to strike, is based o

how do you think china will respond? i think china will respond?nk the chinese may be muted at the first instance especially if the tariffs that are applied against china remain at 10% but if they go higher than that then i think china will say there is no point in us even pausing on any potential retaliation, let's do something and do it now. china is seen as _ something and do it now. china is seen as an — something and do it now. china is seen as an adversary - something and do it now. china is seen as an adversary but - something and do it now. china is seen as an adversary but it . is seen as an adversary but it is seen as an adversary but it is partners and neighbours like mexico and canada and the firing line as well. how will they see these tariffs unfolding before them with what donald trump said he wants to implement? in donald trump said he wants to implement?— donald trump said he wants to imlement? . ., ., ., ., implement? in particular canada is a bit annoyed _ implement? in particular canada is a bit annoyed because - implement? in p

we have our telephones made in china, for the most part. so many things made in china. so why don't they mention that? you are dealing with a lot of young people. is it that important for china to be spying on young people, young kids watching crazy videos? >> i don't want china spying on anybody. pres. trump: but they make your telephones and computers and a lot of other things. isn't that a bigger threat? tom: president trump speaking to fox news in the oval office. you follow the twists and turns of the tiktok saga in detail. >> i will start with the last one he made, they being china are spying on your conversations, that was the argument around pulling the huawei infrastructure out of the united states and a lot of western countries. that is the parallel donald trump is making. it is not the only tech company coming out of china that has that perceived impact on the rest of the world. tiktok is interesting because in addition to talking about the ban and spying ability, we are still talking about who the buyer may be, an this is the first time in recent history whe

china is imposing what they call china one principal on the world. which is very different, you know, from our china policy. can you kind of describe how we can push back on that and how need to make sure we are shaping their conversation? sen. rubio: yeah, and first is to understand that the one-china policy, the u.s. policy toward the issue of taiwan has been consistent and reaffirmed by every administration since 1979. does the combination of the taiwan relations act with assurances that make clear the united states, we are not going to pressure taiwan into any arrangement. we are not going to tell you when we are going to stop. have made no commitment to helping them in national defense. we are not going to force any outcomes and we reject any effort to coerce, intimidate, and/or forcibly drive time want to do whatever china wants them to do. that has been our position and that is the position under president trump's first administration and i anticipate it will be in the second. within that context it is important for us to find every opportunit

of china, and playing time one is part of china.i think the american taxpayer would agree that we should not be subsidizing the salaries of people who undermine american satellites. can we talk specifically about how we counter china's influence in the u.n., specifically assuring that taiwan gets fair treatment, as it comes to china? and there's a lot of organizations that taiwan can. . belong to you i would love to hear your thoughts on that. rep. stefanik: yes, thank you so much. it is great to see you on the side of the capital now, senator curtis. you and i worked on the issue of setting up a china task force, and as i mentioned in some of the previous questions, i'm committed to make sure taiwan has the most maximum, meaningful participation within the u.s. system, as it should in all international organizations. we have to be vigilant, both in the long term and the short term, to make sure that china is not able to make significant inroads with the ccp and international organizations. i want to point out i have a record on thi

has already been blocked in china. in fact, because china has been blocked, china has trying to develop peaceful indigenous technology. what us has done is you wrecked a digital for a living wall and basically is giving up vast majority of the world market, choose the chinese software. they're still not able to figure it out, they've not known from the past. let's take the 2 examples. very, very prominent loans, you'll get all of these space thing on that you did not know that the district of the what did not stop the word and it was never stopped. it wouldn't go ahead. yeah, i got to get another one. it will not stop country's been move ahead. it's very important to remember one important thing that the technology, the us has developed. an it guy comes from the shoulders and brains of nothing to the americans, but also the people who have immigrated to america from various parts of the what in particular from india, the us business community is questioning whether this move would actually be of any help to us national

a good china strategy is also a good ally strategy write larg e.ope is important in this regard print making sure the united states is deeply engaged with europeans working on conversions on pushing back against unfair chinese economic policies on the supply chain pieceand so much else. and then there is a question of technology. and here we need to both promote and protect. we need to make the investments domestically in keeping our lead in the key technologies that will define the future. here the science part of the chips and science act has never been fully funded. america at its best other deduct -- over the deck is has been the america dispense a doll is a basic research and development and innovations that sub -- shape the future. and then there is a protect side. we have taken a number of steps to ensure that our high technologies that have national security applications can't be used against us or our friends by china. and i think seeing that work continue in the new administration is very important. last point i would make, is that the pr
