-china relations. so china's approach to aid is in contrast to the new liberal logic of the traditional humanitarian assistance that places high premium on individual. and so the united states obviously perceived china's action as kind of rogue state action that is undermining the traditional humanitarian regime. china perceived u.s. resistance to its assistance as a deliberate effort to hamper or impede china's rise. we also find that some of the covid-19 aid distributed by china and vaccine distribution as well was to counter assistance sent by the united states. so there was this element of geopolitics in the aid distribution as well. let me say a few words about russia. russia's logic is also very much state-centric. you probably heard the same from vladimir putin, who was quoted, the state, the institutions of structures have always played an exceptionally important role in the life of the country and its people. so for russia, a strong state is not an anomaly to fight against by the country. it i

musk has deep ties to china. we don't know the full extent of those ties because he refuses to file a public financial disclosure but know music has received hundreds of millions in loans from p.r.c. controlled banks to build factories in shanghai which are essential to his business and wealth. and we know he has met with chinese officials and have failed to close such as a defense contractor. the co-chair vivek ramaswamy said, quote, i have no reason to think elon won't jump like a circus monkey when xi jinping calls in the hour of need. since his inauguration day, musk and affiliates have gained access to government systems containing america's most sensitive personal data. musk has also exported america's data to personal servers for unknown reasons. one government contractor responsible for contributing to briefings called doge's access to the payment system quote, an unprecedented insider threat risk, unquote. if my colleagues were as concerned as they profess to be to critical infrastructure and data, they

this is where china is beating us. they understand, and i believe that our bank and dfc is so limited in what they can do by the restrictions that they have that we are not able to invest in infrastructure like we should. sen. young: i hope the administration will prioritize the ambassador spot as nominations are made. i hope that we will prioritize it in the senate. my colleagues on the democratic side of the aisle will be warm said that nomination moving it quickly. something that both parties frankly have fallen short on in recent years is prioritizing needs. other comments? comm. maffei: senator, you and i served together in the house that i am pretty bipartisan and i agree on the chairman with what he said. i will say that certainly, we need to look at other kinds of ways to get u.s. companies in positions where they truly compete with the chinese on some of these things. laming it all on panama misses the point. i have seen the same thing in greece where greece did not want to give the concession of its largest p

policymakers became quite concerned about the speed at which china china's tech industry was growing more around the world. right. so you start the book with a very dramatic scene of the founder's daughter, meng, being detained in canada for alleged violations of u.s. auction laws. but then you quickly the next chapters go way back in time to the founders parents, and they're upbringing and the kind of rural hinterlands of china in gansu and other provinces. why did why did you make that decision to go all the way back in time to the founder's parents to kind of set the tone for this book? yeah, that's partly what drew drew me to this project and to using huawei as a license to tell a bigger picture story, which is so huawei's founder in people retire quite early compared to the united states. you know, officially for state jobs, it's 55 for women, 60 for men. so huawei's founder was in 1944 and is really one of the few, you know, entrepreneurs his era who has sort of been working in this field, continuous from the 1980s until the present day. he's still the ceo of huawei today, whic

has china taken the lead in the race for domination in a i the china is fired. the 1st salvo, which is really about cost. i would say china is definitely one of the leaders in a i, when you look at the 3 components that you need for a, i knew lots of data, you need a lot of chips and you need a lot of energy at low cost. well, china has the energy, it's got the data, but it doesn't have the chips. and so that brings them to the us, which the us has the chips. it has the data, but it doesn't have the energy at low cost. so it's going to be an interesting battle on those fronts. but what china did with div seek, basically showed that western a i is too expensive at the current current rate. and in order to i get to a guy that can be democratized and used by everyone. we've got to drive down the cost, or it is the room, though, so for to athletes in this race will $1.00 continue to outpace? the other? would always be the us versus china in terms of artificial intelligence. the short answer is it doesn't have to be, it could be a 3rd horse race that comes out. and t

some have been seeing that china is changing through the attempting to change the order in china and want to start the new system. now, we don't see much talk louder because of now there's, here is a country that is withdrawing strong international regions. enterprise solutions to try and i think in europe can few chills, almost almost every day shoes. as for china, it is part of growing in the existing issue, the order china is beneficial, really sort of the existing order. so what china is doing and will do is to as most 100 countries expected to move the order in the more just and reasonable directions are now talking about rules that i can do for you. so you put on that these people might have different understanding of rules shifting gears. i think we can agree on these are she only she all point and that we need to the whole safeguard with the un course in the which centered international cultural observe. you have portions on to be so richard basic, which requires norms, governing international relations based on the purpose is important for both of these and the charter. and

china did it. china did it at a level that probably nobody's ever seen before. if you manufactured a car, you couldn't send it into china, the tariff was so high. so everybody went and built in china, it was no big secret. so we're going to see. but it's going to mean tremendous amounts of jobs and ultimately prices will stay the same or go down but we'll have a very dynamic country. reporter: prices are still up, mr. president, because of these tariffs. who do you think voters should hold responsible? president trump: i think what's going up is jobs are going to go up and prices could go up somewhat short term but prices will also go down. i think the farmers will be helped by this very much because product is being dumped into our country and our farmers are getting hurt very badly by the last administration. the last administration hated our farmers at a level i've never seen before. i think our farmers are going to be helped. jobs are going to be helped but our farmers will be helped and our manufacturers are going to be helped. and again, if somebody wants

we had then called china. and china was very open to it. and then covid hit. then we had a rigged election. now there's no rigged election. now we have an election that was too big to rig. that's what my whole theme was. too big to rig. they tried but didn't pull it off. >> as part of reciprocal tariffs would you correct agencies to -- direct agencies to study the impact they'd have on prices in the u.s.? >> there's nothing to study. there's nothing to study. it's going to go well. the united states is going to become a very, very strong economic -- economic country. reporter: you have spoken against india as part of brix, -- brics, do you want to dismantle it? pres. trump: it was put there for a bad purpose. most of those people don't -- they don't even want to talk about it now. they're afraid to talk about it. i told them if they want to play games with the dollar, then they're going to be hit with a 100% tariff the day they mentioned that they want to do it. they will come become and say we -- come back and say we beg you, we beg you not to do this. brics

i think china will be interested.orward to that, but we have a lot of people that are interested, and it's got quite a few. >> government workers arrived today at the irs. do you expect to close the irs? pres. trump: no. but i think that the internal revenue service will be looked at, like everybody else. just about everybody will be looked at. they are doing a hell of a job. it's an amazing job they are doing. and, i call it the force of super geniuses, but it is building in. you know, they go and talk to some of the people about certain deals, and the people get all tongue-tied. they don't talk, because these people get it. they are very smart people. we know smart people. >> mr. president, i know that during the campaign, it was huge as far as bringing back manufacturing. have you talked to any ceo's since the terrace were announced? pres. trump: they are in love with a come as you know, if it's, u.s. steel is through the roof. they are all through the roof. that's why i did not want u.s. steel to make a deal with

because china raised the price of his eye and china didn't lower the price of his exports to us when we impose tear us. so the us importers paid the difference. so i want to do this because this is now, it seems to be a favorite tool of president trump and you know, he, he is already come out of the box. been in office just a couple of weeks. we've heard major a terrorist threats against columbia based on whether or not and how they would receive labor that had been round up that was on documented in the united states and sent back to columbia. he's threatened other countries with terrorists, but particularly canada and mexico that he threatened then he sent the market's crazy, but large 25 percent tariffs against canada and mexico, china at 10 percent across the board chair us. and so as we kind of look in this, i'm just sort of trying to understand what's going on inside this white house because we did see a significant market reaction. a negative market reaction to what donald trump had threatened with canada and mexico within 24 hours. he had reversed those and put them on a 30 d

of course taiwan contingencies and also the south china sea and east china sea. while i think it's a reasonable concern and one that ought to be monitored, i think it's somewhat unlikely that they attempt to project large amounts of power into this hemisphere. mr. gimenez: i agree with you on short-term. i'll make one final statement. the chinese have a very long range point of view. and they look at things 100 years ahead, not like us, we look at things two years ahead. so with that, i will yield and i recognize ranking member from -- you're from? mrs. mciver: new jersey. mr. gimenez: the gentlewoman from new jersey. mrs. mciver: thank you, mr. chairman. on sunday vice president vance tweeted that judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power. then yesterday a federal judge said the white house had disobeyed the plain text of his direction to release billions of dollars in federal grants which congress appropriated but the administration has tried to freeze. now, i'm not sure what they teach at yale law school, but i am an educator myself and
