china to evaluate. thank you for taking my question . guest: there are divisions on how china deals with north korea. china is increasingly put on the defensive. the u.s., south korea, and japan have tried to use those provocations as a way of any potential effort by china to do anything like that. certainly, they are sending the message that north korean provocation carries costs for china's own national security interests in case china did not always recognize that was the case. williamr next call is joining us from massachusetts on the republican line. good morning. caller: i have been listening to your show for a little while now. it is terrible what north korea has gone through. it is well over 100 years now that they have literally been enslaved, especially since the end of world war ii. it is since 1905 when the japanese moved in. not help north korea. they have been living like this well over 100 years. i know the united states is leery of war. we have been to iraq and we are still in afghanistan. but who else, if not the united states, is going to free the north korean people? i believe china is t

recovering american economy which will fund that china and other emerging market from within china's banking system are probably bigger concern for china market thank you k for it. okay that's all we have time for today at the china price what to expect them to the lip of the cost of living in china until that you can do any of our epoch of all my nephew and the tv on yahoo. is yet the options are interested in assessing the same way that american audiences are and they're interested in you know in america mrs they're also interested in this is from other countries because that again they're interested in the genre itself in the format in the way that that format this kind of existential and answers questions about good and evil and crime and punishment. and so therefore its worldwide. i like about ear to the mysteries is that. not only are you. what changed the crime drama. but you also just alerted. you know about the closure of the land to barbie and you get the flu in bergen norway. through slept through the acts of the liners you get. you know an idea of what's all this means light of the lenders because they're they're set in swe

china. won today, china mobile state approval -- china mobile w approval to bring in the iphone. ill give access to apple to 1.3 billion subscribers. i should say there are 1.3 billion people in china. china mobile has 760 million or so subscribers. the potential is huge. >> it is a huge potential. and verizonat at&t combined, and that is about 10% of apple's business, they are 200 30 million subscribers. as you say, 760 million versus 230 million, obviously there are spendetween what they can in china versus the u.s., but it frames the opportunity. tell us about the numbers. >> we have gone back and look at the street estimates. it appears that most analysts do not have the iphone in their estimates. that will add about 17 million units, we think, in 2014. that would increase the street revenue by about five percent. millionon out of 760 subscribers should be a pretty easy hurdle to hit. >> just yesterday, you did not think this would happen until about march. why did it happen so fast? assuming this has happened. this is coming from the "wall street journal." >> it has not been

china's request and submitting flight plans. >> the u.s. airliners are presenting the flight plans, then china wins. china did step back slightly. but they have not renowned the claim over this territory. i think pat put it well. they went for two steps and came out of it one. >> civilian airliners. >> yes. >> they will have to go around and use more fuel? >> yes. it means that this is a recognition that this is chinese territory. that is exactly what we don't want. there are all kind of reasons that we don't want china to extend their that reach into that part of the world. you remember the east asian leadership conference to which the president did not show up for the second year in a row and you have the chance to establish those kind of personal relationships. they don't exist between this administration and the chinese and that is one of the reason that we lost our opportunity to make our case clear and nobody respects that anybody is going to do anything about it. >> and china has a list of other territorial claims. >> they got the ones against the vietnam and malaysia. they don't have any particular claim against south kor

the big outside is china china has two point five trillion dollars in currency reserves and china is now present in africa latin america and in other asian countries where it offers extremely high sums for new loans. china has committed to invest six billion euros in projects in the democratic republic of congo these are aimed at the development of road infrastructure schools hospitals as well as the revival of the mining sector. in exchange the chinese will have access to six and a half million tons of refined copper two thousand tons of cobalt and three hundred seventy two tons of gold this minerals for projects barter agreement to surprised western countries and the i.m.f. and the world bank in particular both of whom were on the verge of cancelling the democratic republic of congo's debt these two institutions have set as a precondition that the contract be reviewed downwards. and so negotiations have been extremely hard with it has to be said with key being blackmailed by representatives presidents of european countries have told us. here cheney's contracts we get treated you don

china china has blocked a fifth cargo of u.s. corn since mid november it was just a month after of testing found a strain of general g.m.o. is genetically modified organisms it quite a type of corn is not yet approved for imported china china is the second largest corn consumer and they turned out one hundred eighty thousand tons of corn since mid november so china doesn't want our g.m.o. tainted corn shouldn't american consumers have the right to say we'd like to know what's in it to. do with the reuters story that has everything that you said that analysts were were saying that it had more to do with trade disputes it was china throwing its economic weight around absolutely and even if it does even if it is about geo china is simply wrong i mean the broad consensus is that. we modified food is safe and it is the most effective way to address hunger problems in the world so shouldn't people have the right to know what's in there for sure i have no problem with people having knowledge about what's in the flute i have a problem with the government imposing their basis for whether or not this is valid and in fact we don't mind using words i know to shatter your illusions but we don't live in a world where where you can

we want china to engage with these countries in a way where china respects their interests. at present, china is testing other countries and wants its interest respected. but it's a two-way street. china has been behaving pretty aggressively, and is trying to see some territory that the philippines sees as belonging to it. china has been interfering with efforts to conduct energy exploration. they're doing the same with the vietnamese. this is a growing process where you have a very big power and small nations, and the smaller nations are reaching out to the united states, which is pretty far away, but has a historical record of being fair and help to go support a country's interest without having any aim to take their territory or their energy or otherwise interfere with their objective. >> well, earlier you referred to this as rising power stuff. was it different from what the united states was looking to do in 1888, and what the british were trying to do after the napoleonic wars. >> i think you can make that analogy, but it's very imperative to reiterate bonnie's point, we're so inter dep

japan and china are as bad as they have been for a number of years, and there's a stepping up of rhetoric from both sides. it probably plays well to conservative hawkish elements in china. china has been cit siffed for an air defense zone in the east china sea, and the way it's been pursuing its claims to islands disputed by japan, playing to the conservatives that would defend the actions as being the right of china to defend its interest, pointing to this visit by shinzo abe as being the villain of the piece, the person who visited the shrine which they say glorified and honour's japan's milt tarianism. >> the government has been urged to postpone the elections in thailand. it failed to stop protesters calling for her to step down. running battles with demonstrators was fought with police. they tried to storm a gymnasium of the thousands of troops have been deployed across bangladesh. their job is to prevent more anti-government protests. the opposition is boycotting the polls and calls for nationwide strikes. >> clashes between protesters and police conditioned into the night in istanbul. riot police used smoke grenades and water canons that gathered to demand the resignat

geo political ambitions but also to hydrocarbons because china desperately needs to increase its all in gas output ok china it is china demanding washington respected as an equal in the pacific it can't do that militarily at this point but you know for the chinese they have a long view i think we would all agree. well i would i would slowly disagree with with martin here it's true that china perhaps perceives obama as weak but i see this more in the longer term and that is that the united states is largely playing a bystander role in this pacific pivot isn't some ways an acknowledgement of the u.s. bystander role over the last decade and this is largely between china and japan this current issue united states has encouraged japan to have a more aggressive more muscular shall we say foreign military policy and china of course as you say wants to have a foreign policy that is common with its economic strength that's growing economic strength so we see these two tigers on the mountain as the expression goes in the asia realm and the united states really is caught in the middle of it doesn't really want to tangle with chi

pacific coastline of japan is going to be staying dry, same thing with korea, northern china, china peninsula will be dry, but chilly with below-average temperatures. high pressure towards the south is kicking up some moisture there across the tropics. parts of the philippines, flash flood advisories in effect due to a low pressure area. now also that rain is extending over towards malaysia, parts of bourn owe, you've seen 80 millimeters sunday into monday. once again, staying dry in the north. seoul with a high of 10, tokyo, 11. let's see what's going on in europe. the big topic truly is this monster of a low pressure area just off the northwestern portions of the british isles. you can see it right here. it's very deep. you have these lines close together with the isobars. some of these winds are going to be rather damaging. you're going to be seeing sustained around 50 to 60, easily over 100 kilometers per hour along the british isles. heavy rain advisories in the snowfall farther towards the north. if you have travel plans towards the western parts of europe, into the scandinavian peninsu

china for china mobile? how do they differ? >> china has the lower market shares than they do elsewhere. they are about a fit. some of the bigger players, samsung and a lot of homegrown manufacturers that are also there. whatave to keep in mind apple is going for is more the high-end customer who, that is where a lot of the prophet is to be made. that is where this can be a real challenge for samsung who is that the run of the roost on china mobile. >> it seems that china mobile widget does not have the same kind of smart phone users as a competitor has the opportunity to go upstream with this new offer. >> if you look at japan, they recently started telling the iphone that they had seen their share of the markets start to deteriorate without the iphone and other carriers around the world. particularly that high-end. the customers are very valuable because of the amount of data they use. this is an area where carriers can start to make some money. >> changes going to come. what does this mean for apple's bottom line? >> they have been looking at is coming for a long time. you had a diffic

china is sitting on around three and a half trillion u.s. dollars worth of foreign reserves now china doesn't really want to increase that amount to foreign reserves which is why it is trying to make the u.n. more tradeable in other words when you buy goods from china china is saying we're going to pack in trying the u.n. so that we don't have to sort of keep on taking in all these foreign reserves now eventually china as you quite rightly say is going to move from being export led to becoming more consumer led in other words they will have to spend some of those foreign reserves in order to buy foreign goods but i suspect you know china did really doesn't want to run down its foreign reserves too much but they would much prefer to use the chinese yuan which you can control itself you can print as much chinese yuan as it wants to so if it wants to start buying goods from the outside world it may or may decide you know that they want to use the chinese yuan to buy that but in order to do that the chinese yuan has to be more freely traded and this is really the first step i mean which we we're seeing now that the chinese yuan has overtaken the euro in terms of trade finance the next step will of course you know be the chinese yuan being more freely t

china will establish a new air defense identification zone. now the defense ministry as we get from this new announcement over the east china sea say it is not an expansion of china's airspace. it is sadly not targeting any country specific defense ministry spokesman kong and shop modifying a press conference is going to be a cic is not a no fly zone its own expansion of china's territory as space is simply been established to calling him as a precaution to help china better defend its national and states on johnny day with a top story in the skin soft. ms jones said the east china sea air defense identification zone is essentially different from terror toil airspace were no fly zones. he will not affect the freedom of over apply to other countries aircraft based on international loss nor is it again did any specific country or target answering some people doubt on china's monitoring capabilities in the zone the spokesman said the military's determination to safeguard the security of national territory and tempo and pace are odd way for him and the military is fully capable of exercising effective control over the cell. dawn also said china is not alone requiring a

china and you been to singapore. >> here's my question about china. to scientologists, the consensus is that chinaent through this phase called peaceful rise. they don't need to rise so peacefully anymore. that is one theory. >> or we can have global demand. >> exactly. i come in a little different. i think it is a frightened china more than a rising china. i think you are writing such a tiger. bloggersave 300,000 and you have these huge state- run industries that have to be downsized and privatized. so thick ion is couldn't see you if we were sitting there on the street right now. the problems and challenges they face are so gargantuan that i think they are as frightened as they are feeling empowered. and we should keep that in mind. you look at the island's issue in the south china sea. they are making these lanes, making theseare claims. in downtown seoul, you have all of these guys riding on horseback. generals in the war against japan. haveou remember these guys their own history outside of us. so it is korea-china, china- japan, korea-japan. talk about the middle east and these cultural and

china is still dominated by a number of big businesses and the government has a stronger influence over the business operation so therefore they really have to come to terms to. china in terms of the ideological pursuit. in the meantime the china site a while china is suffering from the the sort of a depressive gross in the continent of europe in the meantime that britain offers a. better promise for china to trade and invest so therefore it is really in the interest of both sides to work closer together. china has now begun exacting its dominance of the disputed territories and angering the west while doing so is beijing trying to buy support from influential friends. well i think. china is not really buying but china does feel the need to expand its. economic power and economic cooperation with the rest of the world great britain has a lot to offer to china in terms of the information technology a lot just stakes on other environmental technology is setter. that the british business are very familiar was charged a trade and investment environment so the. really it is really the economic pie that really brings those countries closer was a better driver of course in the meantime chinese businesses are getting more aggressive t

china responded by scrambling fighters. a mid air collision riding. >> america is concerned about growing passion of behavior by china one that is tensions in asia. that matters because one small incident over these islands trigger a far wider crisis drawing in china on the one side on the other. >> china says other nations have shouldefense zones so it be allowed one too. > why has china chosen to take this action now? zone for not couldn't frontation. japan is making irresponsible remarks escalating tensions. is the one that dispatched hips and planes to disturb our normal training. >> that's joe biden's problem. relations to many neighbors aren't good even if diffused now what has happened is a warning that could s over islands you never heard of could lure much serious o a confrontation. >> it is very complicated and for more on these difficult between washington, beijing, i spoke a short time america's ambassador to huntsman.n >> how concerned are you between america and beijing? > beijing is certainly upped the antewith the establish of this zone. from here on will be whether or not the vice president of the united states trip to beijing is of to build a new level dialogue encouraging tokyo and building talk, greater trust and confidence in

late last month, china unilaterally extended its air defense identification zone to cover nearly all of the east china sea to secure the islands administered by jam but claimed by china the obama administration urged caution but stressed that the u.s. military will not recognize china's demand and stand by the ally japan. after china scrambled fighters to intercept nines through the zone, the u.s. urged airliners to comply with the new rules for safety sake. after vice president joe biden last week spent four hours with the china's foreign minister, he says they should exercise restraint. neither disclosed what the two discussed privately. china's move is provocative. a dramatic step to impose its will as a part of concerted drive to take territory it views as its own emboldened by the growing economic and military might and the conviction that the neighbors will back down, china is directly challenging washington's influence across asia. and beijing has already started deeper incursions in india and hassling vietnam. as the region's security guarantor, washington must push back against china with pressure of its own. failing to do so is the surest way to destabilize

some say china is forcing a major transition in the area. >> translation: until recently china didn't challenge the status quo. china has begun to challenge the regional order. the problems in the eastern south china seas are such examples. >> a challenge for shinzo abbe and joe biden is how to play their hand as mixed signals are given out. china said japan was the target of the new zone. they said it is neither a no fly zone nor territorial air space. can joe biden discover the real reasons behind the power play. only a gambling man would lay money on what china is thinking. >> the vice president next stop will be china, and he heads to south korea. >> the 85-year-old american war veteran held in north korea is in good condition - that's according to a swedish diplomat who visited him. merrill newman was taken captive more tan a month ago as he was about to take off on his plane after a tourist visit. authorities say they are holding him to investigate war crimes. he was shown on north korean television, reading what korean officials said was an apology. the u.s. is calling for his release. >> pope francis is urgi

it also says japan will help asean and china create legally binding rules to settle territorial issues over islands in the south china sea. china's decision last month has shaken up other asian countries. china's newly announced zoning partly overlaps with other nations, including japan. beijing has indicated it may set up another air defense identification zone in the south china sea, a focus of territorial disputes with countries such as the philippines and vietnam. japanese prime minister shinzo abe wants to win backing from asean nations in challenging the legitimacy of china's policy, but officials are still struggling over the exact wording of the drafts. for some countries with strong ties with china, taking a strong position may be difficult. others fear china's expanding reach and may react accordingly. members of the summit are racing to reach a final agreement, but the political stances of each country against china are different. a communique should be issued as early as friday night. officials are working around the clock to come up with a deal. mitsiko nishikawa, nhk world, tokyo. >>> engineers at the crippled fukus

actually rather difficult and yet at the same time we have seen china and japan as well as china and some of the countries bordering the south china sea come to some agreements for instance over oil and gas exploration under sea and these agreements i think could be the kind of core of some agreement in the future one of those agreements was just back in two thousand and eight around the cock while ns and we've seen some additional movement toward agreement in south china say ok martin but if i could put china's policy in a nutshell it doesn't want to have to have to ask for someone's permission anymore this is the whole point of these new restrictive air is a zone is that china is going to say you know well if you want to go through here you're going to have to talk to us here we'll let you through but you have to talk to us it's an acknowledgement that they are a great power in the pacific because all of these zones since the one nine hundred fifty s. were unilaterally done by other powers particularly the united states and japan baby now china's permission. yes absolutely correct but china has to be very careful here because it
