us-china relations. so china's approach to aid is. in contrast to and even contrary to that kind of neo liberal logic of the traditional humanitarian assistance that places high premium and individual and in the individual and and so the united states, you know, obviously perceived china's action as kind of rogue state action that is undermining that traditional humanitarian regime. china perceived us resistance to its assistance as a deliberate effort to hamper or impede china's rise. so we also find that some of the covid 19 aid distributed by china in vaccine distributions 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, because russia's logic is also very much state centric. and you probably heard the famous saying from vladimir putin, who was quoted. so the state and its institute, tions and structures have always played an exceptionally important role in the life of the country and its people. so for russia

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

china is bound to come up. what is your advice to the u.s. president if china wants a role? 1 >> i would say no. he wants to build relationships. it is important for him to talk to adversaries but be mindful that they are adversaries. they do not have the interest of the u.s., our best interest at heart. be careful. >> these flashpoints, ukraine and taiwan. there's a lot of anxiety this weekend about the future of american commitment to nato and ukraine with this administration. what would a u.s. retreat from ukraine signal to china and taiwan? >> bad news. last year i fought hard to get the wartime supplemental past. it was not easy with the new speaker. mike rogers and mike turner and i, it was for israel, ukraine and indo pacific. have we not passed that, ukraine would be under russian domination. no question in my mind. what happens in ukraine has an impact on taiwan. xi is watching closely. don't take my word. take the presidents of sudan and south korea, they always tell me what happens in ukraine will have a direct effect in correlation on invasion. xi is talking abou

julie escaped to china to south korea. no phone after she received more bad news. chinese police captured my oldest sister. you've been. she'd been sold to a farmer, and together they had a baby boy, but now shipping to port it back to north korea and imprisoned. dooley was distraught. middle own legal nielsen's. i'm the casa who died. so when a cousin told me that you've been been released up to 6 months, she started arranging a broker to get to been back into china. and despite the risks to the return to china, herself and headed to the north korean border area to help rescue a new and new ocean altitude. and when it's a building that's elected up to go, that's a, that's normal ha. having last had closed and the river you've been had been walking through the mountains. betty dressed for days by the time they found it's something both sisters will never forget. one of the 2 of us when you move to cable amount of time as well into the same old models, it'll say no matter what does it mean, what is the name of the, of the n

we already have confirmation from china. uh file. we already have confirmation from china. the china support the, the russia to us. we approach mom and, and then we have the reports on the wall street journal that china offered to be a peace broker up between the 2 and, and possibly offer a venue in b gene for meeting between put and, and, and, and trump, i think this is very a, china is very, very walk can be for this development because china is always stated piece, negotiation should be the goal and, and also what once there's finally peasy duration. this also helped china to further advance it's to which is spelled enroll projects all the way to your all right, we're gonna leave it there are to contribute our carl john. carl, thank you to thank you. all right, before we go, we have some breaking news to tell you about m. 23. insurgents have reported, they captured another city in the democratic republic of congo, reports and say, the militants have taken because of the provincial capital bordering lawanda. and home to over a 1000000 people for their classes have reporte

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

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

of this really happened to china as well. so that relationship is together and i understand totally why those 2 are sitting with the americans. it's not going to be rushing united states and then we'll invite china. not happening. it will not happen. the chinese, uh, you know, government will surely support uh, vladimir putin of course, to try to bring peace to the area. but economically wise, they exactly know what the americans are up to, and it might be a good time to talk tariffs. i think it'd be a good time to talk to get it all done in one shot. why not all i also want to, i mean, you mentioned that these are mazda cot. i also read that out. of course, the irony is a visa, or mastercard itself locked out, right? because in the meantime, brush recreated its own system. i know that when i go to the shop, now i use the internal kind of switch system that's been introduced and created by ross. so there's always there need for the these are most called anymore. but kind of looking at all the tangible things that might emerge

the munich, china will be represented by one e. the country's top diplomats, he has long side to cause paging as a responsible stakeholder in well defense changes have been accelerating this century. can i have those challenges come one off or not? the international corporation and coordination between great powers have become more urgent and importance. excuse me, great pleasure. and while washington tests the limits of its alliances, you may be more willing to mention it's a badging take on managing a move all the time was okay that cause that is still with us and how do people at the security conference there in munich and more broadly in europe plan to deal with china's changing role in washington's dealing with facing whether it's not that easy, yukon does talk about china until about taiwan until about confrontation. china is needed to solve one of the key issues in the well, that includes climate change, but also as control. and there was seeing fresh noises coming out of washington. and neither the european know the us econ

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

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

is going to be china in ai. does this morning's executive order actually move the immediate cash needle in a meaningful way? -- needle in a meaningful way? and what does it leave out? mr. lehane: i'm always reminded of a book i may or may not have read in the late 1990's. "guns, germs, and steel." that made the case that nations succeeded when they were all top to marshall there national resources and get a competitive advantage. if you think about ai as the electricity of our generation, it's going to impact everything. to be able to prevail on ai for democrat, u.s.-led ai to lead the world that is ultimately infrastructure -- an infrastructure exercise. it is going to be chips, it is going to be data, it is going to be talent, and it is going to be the energy piece. so, to get specifically to your question, i think what the biden administration put out today does send an interesting signal in the following way. we have identified that there is roughly $175 billion of dry capital out there globally looking to i

>> mark that's the reasons i named it seven things you can't say about china threat from china not thate undertaking a buildup and waging economic war against us but using all of that power and influence to actually affect the debate inside of the united states. to influence us with chinese propaganda tiktok is one very good example about how they're coming after our kids it is not just about data privacy and security for kids who by the way will be grownups pretty soon and in law enforcement or the military or their intelligence. but it is about the content they expose kids to it is not just cat videos or cooking instructions. it is negative body image content or eating disorders for kids, it's graphic violence with obscenity for boys drugs for all kids even videos that glamorize suicide and depressive thoughts in tiktok and chinese propaganda find anything about a square hong kong or uighur genocide and promotes content in our countries set to divide us tiktok has a river of anti-semitic content unlike any other social media app. it celebrated the october 7th atrocities against israel

the us in china is tit for tat terrace. a ratcheting up the comic tension between the 2 nations passed. could they reach a deal? so the fuse that dispute, the future of the us as main farm aid agency, hangs in the balance. but why does donald trump want to shut down usaid and how that affects millions of vulnerable people around the world. and trump us holt at a to south africa over a controversial landlord. he's also sides of the nation's nonce against israel, and it's more on concepts, is humanitarian assistance being weaponized they was seen as a restrained response to donald trump. thomas against china, beijing is retaliatory duties on a $14000000000.00 worth of us imports of come into effect. that's off of donald trump. recently, front of the opening salvo and a trade dispute trumpet, slap additional 10 percent targets on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of chinese imports. but despite the tit for tat measures, tension between the world's 2 largest economies appears for the movement to be under control, leaving ro

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

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 interesting battle on those fronts, but what china did with deep sea, it basically showed that western a high is too expensive at the current current rate. and in order to 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. those for to athletes in this race will one 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 that rea

we restricted interactions with china and extended communist china fundraising restrictions on university researchers who got d.o.e. funding. all of these felt like bringing back common sense. however, in the last several years, we have allowed that risk to increase. the infrastructure act funding was given to communist-controlled entities in violation of the act. as disclosed in the report at the homeland security committee, communist chinese nationals who were employed at d.o.e. labs stole inventions in violation of u.s. law and took them to china for commercialization. they effectively created spy cells by recruiting new members, and they tried to recruit senior lab and former political officials. i wrote about that in "the wall street journal." i submitted that as testimony. we must also remember that all p.r.c. citizens are required by the chinese national security law to hand over all information when directed by the chinese state. in addition, d.o.e. has restarted engagement with communist china in sharing energy technologies. they have been proactively meeting with the communist g

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

and silent on china. and then finally, china. at the end of the day, we know in north carolina if we get into a broad-based trade war we are going to get damaged, particularly in north carolina. you're going to close off access to the market for pork and chicken but we have to hold them accountable. i've seen counterfeit goods that have killed people coming from china. they are stealing our intellectual property, stealing our ideas, making it cheaper, in many instances less safe, and i believe that under your leadership, we will tailor it. everyone has got this false narrative that we are just going to be blunt force tariffs across the board. it's illogical. if we did that we are going to have to discount the net revenue because it's got to the net of retaliation, but i have confidence in you to provide the advice to the president to get this right. it is time for europe, it is time for canada, it is time for china, it is time for the countries of south america to understand where we've been treated unfairly, we no longer will an

one of china is premium electric vehicle brands. most of the processes are automated and the factory is not actually solar powered. it has been well accepted by most of the chinese customer, not in the last the 2 years. we have reached over 40 countries in the world. and the definition of we see each market has the unique pass. the sector has grown rapidly in china and 2025 electric vehicle or e v. sales are expected to account for almost 60 percent of total cost. sales. electric vehicles are part of what aging calls the new 3 is all 3 priority areas designated as key drivers of economic growth. the others include lithium ion batteries, and so most of the industry has been largely powered by domestic demand. the global market share has also expanded the relatively cheap the electric vehicles, obviously good quality and consumers of valuing that from the manufacturing side, the manufacturers of finding it difficult to compete on the former president joe biden, the us increased terrace on chinese, evolves to 100 percent recently presi

we will always trade with china. we dev -- we need to have exporters, we think if we can be thoughtful in going to other countries where we see concrete areas of advancement and look forward to working with the committee to talk about where to get the most bang for our buck and agreements of that we have aligned with your goals. >> brazil is a leading competitor on agriculture. when example displaced the united states and world leaders. another issue with brazil that i brought up with your predecessor is drastically unfair advantage brazil has on exports, 18% tariff, bristol comes here nearly duty-free so i hope you will address the trading imbalance with brazil, that they were not successful in taking action to reduce or eliminate this harmful tariff. >> i will work with you. a lot of things at the top of my list. i'm happy to work with the you. >> congratulations, welcome, your family has been important to you. during this long period. talk about trade and tariffs and this is important to know fat or. the single la

on china for a minute. is china seeing an opportunity in this divorce between the relationship between europe and the u.s. how can they shift going forward. >> maybe just to pick up on it. the european union and member states are the largest foreign aid. they are larger than the united states. in one wonder there is an opportunity for europe to step-up more. part of our collective flustration with europe is they haven't played the leading global role at times when they could do so given their weight. to get back to china, it's twofold. the europeans might go see themself as the last one in the liberal order. whether europe continues to try to expand free trade agreements. perhaps the approach the cpt and one of the anchor markets i think you can see the counter balance there. i think what europe will see when it comes to china specifically. they did a very good job of pushing for greater u.s. european alignment when it came to china. we adopted the term and risking the underline of the european commission.

applause i've returned to china for another fascinating adventure.o explore the treasures of this extraordinary civilisation. from breathtaking natural landscapes... ..to ancient cities. along the way, i'll be meeting remarkable people who keep its rich traditions alive... he laughs ..and i'll be discovering how thousands of years of culture have forged this country, and continue to do so. as an art historian, i believe that, to truly understand the secrets of a country's soul... ..you need to immerse yourself in its art. i've come to the city of shenyang, in north—east china, to visit the liaoning provincial museum. it's famous for its collection of some of china's finest ancient paintings. i've been granted permission to see its greatest treasure — a spellbinding painting from the tang dynasty. it's a stunning work of art that reveals the exquisite fashion of its age. the tang era lasted for almost 300 years, as china's economy boomed and the arts flourished. it was one of the greatest empires in chinese history. the museum's deputy director, dong

i want to keep china out of the western hemisphere. i want to keep china out of the panama canal.ant to keep china out of greenland. i want to keep them out of the arctic circle etc. etc. . this is western hemisphere america first. what should i do, what should you do? >> as i say, seven things you can't say about china, china is waging economic war against the united states, china is preparing for war, part of that is the inroads they are trying to make into the western hemisphere by having chinese influence, control businesses near the panama canal trying to get inroads in greenland, that's why the president has stressed the relationship we have with greenland, with the panama canal, the legislation to withdraw china's most favored nation status, supercharge china's economy over the last 25 years, we need to take seriously the threat china poses, not in an abstract distant way but right now today, to our way of life, to you and your family lodz that is the alarm bell i'm trying to ring in 7 things you can't say about china. larry: the most favored nation, don't know if people un
