china has been a big country. --y countries around china learned from china a lot throughout history. they feel threatened when china .ecame more aggressive so south koreans, they have a history of a long fight against china. and they maintained their independence. 's.y are certain know how the second point is, one of the korean newspapers had five conditions to give up nuclear weapons suggested by the north korean side, one is the u.s. summit. among the five, there is no suggestions of u.s. armies. many people doubt the reliability, but i fully understand it is quite possible. if you look at the history of north korean-china relations, there is a period of good relationship. they don't really trust each other, but because of strategic interests, and because there are needs, they have tried to keep close and help each other. if the conditions can change, i show you the evidence. korean foreign minister came to new york at the moment. he made an important speech. if you allow north korea to we willnuclear weapons, have a special with china. this is kind of like a joke, but it is not. no

pork is 50 percent of the meat diet in china. china is the only country in the world that has a pork. we have an oil reserve.

to remember that china is actually the second largest economy in the world and it is only natural for these countries to want to have diplomatic ties with china, especially because china that are huge. we had from the foreign ministry in taiwan that china promised $3 billion in loa ns to that china promised $3 billion in loans to the dominican republic, to build all kinds of infrastructure and taiwan simply cannot compete with that because they have a much smaller economy. taiwan losing yet another diplomatic friend in the dominican republic. thank you so much for that update. after months of resistance, myanmar‘s leader aung san suu kyi says she will now allow un agencies to help with the return of some of the one million rohingya refugees in bangladesh. in what seems be a significant softening of her position, ms suu kyi said the involvement of outsiders would strengthen her government's ability to ensure refugees can come back "without fear". here's our myanmar correspondent, nick beake. with a wound i million rohingya refugees stuck in makeshift camps in bangladesh, this is the biggest refugee crisis in asia, the biggest refugee crisis in asia, the biggest refugee

the challenge here is to work with china, because we need china as a partner. we are not going to contain chinaany way. we shouldn't. at the same time, we have to acknowledge that china has a very strong strategy there where we have none. we don't have similar offers we can make to emerging economies, telling them we can help you to build power stations, networks, train networks, in a similar way. we have to be more receptive to their needs and come up with an alternative, and only if we have an alternative, and it is actually in the german coalition treaty that we need a european alternative to the silk road -- only then can we put pressure on china to level the playing field, and make it a truly multilateral deal. ruth: the problem is a lot of these projects can be both. they have a strategic aim, but they also have economic benefits. if you build a harbor for a country, that's good for trade, but you could actually also use it for other purposes, military for instance. i think part of that is that we never quite sure what we are talking about, and on the chinese side, there's a lack of trans

china and you have been covering everything for a long time. have you ever even seen a negotiating trade? nobody has ever seen anybody from our country even negotiate on trade. trade with china, and with other countries -- i am not just blaming china. china is the biggest. trade has been a total one way street. right outside of this nation, you take money out like -- by the bucket loads into others, whether it is the european union, which you know so well, whether it is japan, or south korea, or i can name almost every single country in the world. we had nobody representing us and now you have somebody that is very good at this stuff -- me -- representing us. china has taken out hundreds of billions of dollars a year from the united states. i explained to president xi, we can't do that anymore. we just can't do that anymore. it's a much different situation, but with all the years and all the years you've covered, trade, and nations, and wars, and everything else, you have never seen a people come over from china to work on a trade deal. will that be successful? i tend to doubt it. the reason i doubt it is because china has become very spoiled. the european union has become very spoiled. other countries have become very spoiled bec

china, okay? they're in the process of moving the entire semiconductor industry from the united states to china. imagine having all of our chips made in china. the white house called us and asked us to look into a company called global foundries in santa clara, california. they were moving to china. i called the president of the company up, he said to me the chinese offered us free use of a $4 billion chip manufacturing plant, no taxes for ten years, they'll train all of our workers, and it went on and on and on. he said i didn't even know who to talk to in the u.s. government. i said, well, it wouldn't have made any difference, because nobody would have done anything for you anyway. and he said to me, what would you do if you were me? i mean, and, of course, you know, the incentives were so great that we're moving to china. and they're doing this with all of these critical -- unless the u.s. government starts to incentivize these companies to stay here, now, we had -- there's a lot of problems with the tax bill, but we had to get our corporate income tax down to where everybody else is paying. that was a problem. the corporate income tax i

china. look at the amount of investment, good spot in china. it is completely on -- goods bought in china. it is a line china likes to put out there. rishaad: a lot of pictures from beijing, the chancellor arriving earlier in beijing to focus on diplomatic spirits. informal breakfast with the premier and will be meeting xi jinping later. iran is going to be figuring too, fraser. china and germany want to salvage the iranian nuclear deal despite the u.s. pullout. they can both say they want to give the americans aren't going -- >> they don't have the pursestrings -- >> americans are key to that because so much of this ties into israel and the stability in the middle east. it is an shambles. aam not saying this was particularly good deal, but donald trump likes to break things and overturn things. while it is easy saying i dislike the existing deal -- show us a better deal. stick around, tom mackenzie in beijing and fraser howie will stay with us.

twenty five percent of all of iran's oil exports currently go to china china also imports oil from saudi arabia but trade between china and iran really has been growing quite significantly the past few years i think last year it was about twenty seven billion dollars now iran sends oil to china china sends things like arms in return and that when of course. passed the notice of president trump who of course has warned that the united states is quite prepared to impose sanctions against countries who now assist iran's nuclear program so china will feel vulnerable and it will worry i think about whether if there is to be war in the middle east if we are slipping towards the possibility of conflict what will happen to the oil supplies on which it's so dependent should conflict happen adrian thank you let's talk now. he's a political analyst and the editor in chief at the foreign news agency he joins us from tehran mostafa question what are the chances here that the iranian leadership takes a beat take some time out to come up with a more considered response. oh well as a matter of fact now the response is dropping the wa

china. i have a suspicion that some of the members and my family tree were connected to this longer story of how china got here. the story of china has been a long arrival and a long complicated relationship with the outside world. it began in 2009. i was living in china with my wife and three children. my folks came over immigrants from china but they had been in the state for 50 years. none of us hardly knew anything about the village. supposedly it's where my great-grandfather first left. his last name is tong. our name is unusual in china. it's child's. he tried to learn something about what happened there so how many of you have been to china before? i'm sure there'll be a number of hands here who lived in china before. five at least and what often happens is when you look for a place you will suddenly realize eight hours later that we haven't gotten very far. when we were living there it was before gps and we were going north and houzhou province. when you tell people in china you are from their two things happen. first of all they say the former prime minister premier zhou en-lai is from their and both of you not approval

china declared economic war against us years ago. the free traders are naive thinking china will continue to have the trade agreements. chinas to control 80% of the domestic market in 10 major sectors. that's where trump is putting his foot down. charles: there is nothing wrong with grand ambitions. we want to control everything, michael, that's fine, but we shouldn't be comply? it that to ned's points. how do you envision an ultimate deal working? >> i think any deal will be progress. we'll be changing the status quo ending this unilateral disarmament as it relates to trade relations with china. american farmers will probably double their exports to china. as the "wall street journal" reported, that will have a major impact for the president and economically on all americans. charles: the ripping effect of america's brewing crisis from italy. we are going to break it down for you. we are talking about economic nationalists versus the establishment right after the break. brighthouse financial allow you to take advantage of growth opportunities... with a level of protection in down markets. so you can be less concerned about

china every single day. they are building islands in the south china sea. they're militarizing those islands. they -- they are doing long- term contracts for their raw materials. these countries are very poor. they get them on the hook. and they have these long-term contracts for essential raw materials for things like circuit boards and other things that our country would rely on. artificial intelligence, hundreds of billions of dollars. they want to be and have they want to top sectors in the world. their goal. while i share this with you is because china has a tenure plan, a 30 year plan, a 50 year plan and a 100 year plan. states is operating in a . a 24 hour news cycle. that is weakening our country are. it's important for us to get into power. so that for the first time in 100 years the nondemocratic country is not the most part -- is the most powerful country in the entire world. which means living our values here at home. we are a different country than china is. sometimes, we don't really act like it. when we are caring about each other, when we are investing into each other and almost every candidate spoke about it tonight. where we recognize that we have to have everyone on the co -- on the field playing for us in the united states of america. china. china has 1.3 billion people. we only have 330 million people. that is why we need a medicare for all programs so that everyone in our country is healthy and ready to compete for us. that is why we have to invest into our public schools to make sure that every kid has a good solid

china differently now? how is your sort of cureistic of where china's going? i guess how has it developed when you think about china and its future? >> i do. and you lived in china a long time before just coming back here. my sense is having gone into this kind of micro history of this is what we're seeing now is to a fair degree, i guess, a resumption of a process that taliban a long time ago -- began a long time ago, say in this early period of opening. and some historians go so far as to say that the early communist period was an interruption in that period, and this is just this resumption of something going on. i might not go that far, but i think, number one, that helps me kind of contextualize this. and and, number two, it goes along with this notion that, you know, when i came back to the statements, i felt like -- i kept telling people there are all these different ways to measure that china's still catching up, right? on a per-person basis. and it helps me to understand this kind of catch-up story in a couple ways. one is why, you know, the economy was so weak in the early communist period and why it took

china has territorial ambitions. lot of countries have territorial ambitions, china has bigger ones. chinae force to realize them. mark: when we come back, i am to elaborate on this. china militarily and china's military and china stealing our technology, to advance its military. we'll be right back. whatever you do to stay healthy. you might be missing something. your eyes. that's why there's ocuvite. ocuvite helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. it has lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3. ocuvite. be good to your eyes. here's something you should know. there's a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most don't even know it. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. the only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us, it's time to get tested. it's the only way to know for sure. . >> live from america's news headquarters, i'm lauren green.

china by more than $200 billion. reuters is reporting that china denies this. china may struggle, though, to buy $200 billion more. it bought only about $130 billion last year. its two biggest purchases, planes and soybeans. a deal could ramp up sales for boeing. china is its second largest market or eliminate the current tariffs on $4 billion worth of u.s. farm products. also unclear, what china wants in return. though the u.s. is already working to lift a ban crippling the chinese tech giant zte. >>> trump administration set to announce a new rule today aimed squarely at planned parenthood. clinics that provide abortions or even discussed options would be stripped of federal funding. the new white house policy would force those services to be performed in a different place and by different employees if that facility is to keep federal funding. >> the leak that have horrible john mccain joke leading to some operational changes in the white house communications office. according to a senior white house official, the daily staff meeting has not been held for several days and is not likely to resume. that's because s

china had a role in that? >> that was built in china. >> do you think china maybe discouraged kim from having the summit? >> no, but i think that president xi is a world-class poker player. and i'd probably, maybe, doing the same thing that he would do. but i will say this. there was a somewhat different attitude after that meeting, and i'm a little surprised. now, maybe nothing happened. i'm not blaming anybody, but i'm just saying, maybe nothing happened and maybe it did. but there was different attitude by the north korean folks when, after that meeting. so i don't think it was a great meeting. nobody knew about the meeting, and all of a sudden it was reported that he was in china a second time. the first time everybody knew about. the second time it was like a surprise. and i think things changed after that meeting. so i can't say that i'm happy about it. okay? >> now, president moon may have a different opinion. i would like to have your opinion on that, what you thought of the second meeting with president xi. what is your feeling? you may have an opinion. >> and i don't want to get him in trouble.

like child's play the rule american demand on china is not about farm produce it's about high technology americans are concerned about china's made in china twenty twenty five program which seeks to subsidize china's development of ten critical technologies technologies where the best in particular the u.s. head of china today including robotics commercial jetliner manufacture. computer microchips it's a crime. so the american demand is that instead of china. subsidizing this made in china i don't even if i program should be buying technology products from the american market now this demand has not been vote opposite but this is where the heart of the nec will see the negotiating strategy of the night states they are trying to get china to.

position because they have a trade deficit with china china wants to sell its goods and so they can dictate the terms but that might be a bit overoptimistic china or the chinese government has a different perspective has a more long term perspective in its power struggle with the u.s. correspondent constant fun nominee in washington good to talk to thanks constant. well apple's quarterly numbers are out and it did better than expected profit jumping twenty five percent to ring in at over thirteen billion dollars ahead of those results there was concern that global appetite of i phones was waning the sales of fifty two million of them show some resilience in those robust results of paying off money for investors apple says it is adding an extra one hundred billion dollars to its payouts shay's also jumping in off to our west trading. well he's a financial correspondent in new york. there'd been a lot of talk before apple reported their quarterly results or because some suppliers actually came out with warnings and that was seen as a sign that maybe i phone shipments could disappoint but that was not the case in the past quarter apple shipped a g

china's the big one -- to take advantage of us on trade the way we've been taken advantage of. so china as an example has -- has made a fortune. i mean a transfer of wealth like nobody's ever seen in history. they're the big one. they're almost all bad but china's the big one. so no i'm not satisfied, but we'll see what happens, we have a long way to go. but i want it to go fairly quickly, ok? you're talking about numbers like that, you're talking about billions of dollars of week, ok? so when they say let's meet in a couple of weeks, that's $2 billion, right? i view it that way. you know, we're talking about billions of dollars a week that we suffer, we lose. and so we're looking to go quickly. i -- i will say i'm a little disappointed because when kim jong un had the meeting with president xi in china, the second meeting -- the first meeting we knew about, the second meeting i think there was a little change in attitude from kim jong un. so, i don't like that. i don't like that. i don't like it from the standpoint of china. now i hope that's not true, because we have a -- i have a great relationship with president xi. he's a friend of mine, he likes me, i like him. we have -- i mean that was two of the great days of my life being in china. it

china can benefit from decreasing tensions. for a long time north korea was china's buffer state but now that china has become a global military eir relationship with north korea can shift so anything that provides better economic development opportunities, opportunities for china and could maybe over time lead to fewer us military forces in the pacific. that is all good for china. >> and china is north korea's main trade partner but with sanctions that are in place the exports to china are down 75% since the trump administration imposed these sanctions. >> that is correct and china is a full partner in supporting tough un sanctions. china has not given north korea economic prosperity giving kim jong in the choice to denuclearize and bring in western private investment and better economic of elements, also china doesn't need this reckless rogue state with nuclear weapons. they need a solution in north korea as much as everyone else does. >> that is what i wanted to transition into next, what would be a bad result for china in all this? >> china's worst nightmares collapse of the north korean regime because china has a long bord

china. i hope that is not true. i have a great relationship with president xi. he is a friend of mine. of the great days of my life being in china. i don't think anyone has ever been treated better in china. i think -- many of you were there. it was incredible to witness. we have built a good relationship. when kim a difference jong-un left china the second time. i think they were dedicating an aircraft carrier the united states paid for. because we paid for a lot that was built in china. no, but i think president xi is a world-class poker player. probably a may be doing the same thing he would do. there was a somewhat different attitude after that meeting. maybe nothing happened. i'm not blaming anybody. i'm just saying, maybe nothing happened or maybe it's it. -- maybe it did. there was a different attitude by the north korean folks after that meeting. so i don't think it was a great meeting. nobody knew about the meeting. all of a sudden it was reported he was in china. the first time everybody knew about. the second time was a surprise. i think things changed. i can't say i'm happy about it. is --t [speaking foreign language] pres. trump: president moon may have a different opinion.

china and the united states. yvonne: what would benefit china more. if it exports less or imports more of u.s. goods? >> in the medium-term, china's a fast pace and china will definitely become the biggest foreign arquette for the u.s. companies -- four foreign companies. we need to take a median approach to address a couple of billion trade imbalances without dressing the fundamental issue, and also, the u.s. firms to have a large stake in china in terms of sales and also most of the viewfortune 500 companies china as the second largest economy outside the united states. getting back to the trade issue and how china could retaliate or addressed some of these demands on the u.s. side. we have treasury auctions this week kicking off on tuesday in the u.s. there is a lot of paying attention to the demand of these treasuries. the think there will be more consideration from the chinese to examine the treasury holdings and use that as leverage against the u.s.? china will usek that in conventional policy to retaliate at this moment. we have to realize that both want to avoid a trade war scenario and there is time for both sides to come

china and china needs that coal. the other thing is, the north koreans have five hydroelectric dams, four of which supply power to china. only one, one dam's worth of electricity gets into the hermit kingdom of the so that is why it is dark out there. cheryl: again the economic sanctions. we have put more economic pressure on north korea, this administration has, big piece has been the treasury secretary and the treasury department, more so than we've ever seen with past presidents. >> yeah and those things normally take time to work. that is just it. sanctions are like a diet. you don't lose 20-pound overnight. it's a consistent thing t takes time. you have to work at it. the danger is, that you take them off too soon. if you do, don't expect any results. >> you know, before we let you go, we're expecting the president again at any moment, these comments, actually, let's go to the president right now and listen. [inaudible conversations]. >> thank you very much it is an honor to have secretary-general stoltenberg with us, nato has been working very closely with the united states. our relationship is very good. togethe
