, notjust china hearfrom china, notjust china but a lot of developingcountries like china? there's no question that china has already industrialised and is going to develop its industries. if you look at china's plans and policies, this is all about the industry making sure that china possibles industry is ready for this century and in that sense, there is no contradiction between industrialisation and targeting carbon neutrality. a 57 year old british man has been arrested in germany, on suspicion of spying for russia. the man — named only as david s — worked at the british embassy in berlin and is accused of passing documents to russian intelligence in exchange for cash. our security correspondent gordon corera has this report. a berlin spy case involving british secrets and russian spies. german prosecutors allege that the man, who worked here at the british embassy in berlin, passed on official documents in exchange for money. he is alleged to have been working for the russian intelligence service. their embassy is located not far away in berlin. th

china china is one of the founding member. and they want this belt and wrote initiative right without rans, active presence. and as role as the link between the east and west and china's plan, it will be difficult to achieve the goals of reviving the self road. and china is well aware of this. because in both land and sea routes around geo political position on the soap road is vital. the plan which includes 2 trade routes, the silk road, economic belt, and the 21st century maritime silk road involves investing in the economic infrastructure of more than $65.00 countries. the economic belt which covers the land root of the silk road and as the ancient root of a self road connects china to eastern and western europe through central asia and west asia. and the countries of chris extend has expand is becca been around turkey, ukraine. it includes poland, belgium, france, and finally italy. right. and, you know, things are happening quickly in that region. he got the new pipeline, our stream to going right from russia to germany. so we can see a direct link there. and as you point out, europe ian countries on the eastern side of europe falling into the new land mass, econ

when you, when you see the, the nato, nato meeting recently, the g 7, it's all really about china, china, china, ok. and the americans are obsessed with russia, but the rest of, with russia and china at the same time, the europeans are a little bit more in between here. i don't see how they can divide russian china when they're both being the target of aggressive rhetoric at the very least from the us. go ahead, alexander well, when americans, i mean, the american elite is stuck in about russia or china. they actually don't talk above them, the real russia, china, there's a like run through symbols in the internal pool. so the main idea was for a long time after then what profess loan said union for period unity paula moment was, this is going to become an age of your new polarity. it will be there forever. so as o a d o and just they and the american, the leads i would say the rejected fact rejected for a long time. the fact that russia and china was coming together and was forming a kind of defect to alliance in eurasia, which wasn't used to be a nightmare to such jo jo, political thinkers li

china? sec. kissinger: when i was security advisor to president nixon, the united states had no diplomatic contact with china or any contact with china for 25 years. and mao was the leader in china. dramatic upheavals had been taking place in china. and great human suffering. at the same time, the greatest threat to the united states was the soviet union. it was the only other country that had nuclear weapons of any magnitude and it was developing its military. it was actually engaging in flights over berlin for the entire cold war. the additional challenge we had was the vietnam war, which we in the nixon administration inherited. a political environment for which we were not prepared historically. in america, the domestic opinion was obsessed with the vietnam war. some kind of order -- [indiscernible] under pressure. this is why we opened to china . i had the honor of being the first american diplomatic visitor to china. this is however relationship dish -- this is how our relationship began. in a position closer to both china and russia, committed to each other. to develop a basic strategy. i'm talking about 60 years ago. in 1976,

china and they will no longer be hand cost at the streets in the lock and singapore via u. s. navy blockade. so it's a major, major strategic breakout for china. right. and of course, you live in china for 20 years as a business man, you're doing business over there. you live in, in the us now, but you speak chinese and i would imagine i'm going to ask you, have you been following any of the chinese media and how do they, how do they play it in terms of their dana stand there it's, it's basically a black guy in the united states is just one more and you know, from the financial crisis of, oh, $8.00 to the cold experience now into at the collapse of afghan stan in potentially iraq, which basically ran running now is just one more card in the deck of american impotence and geo political stage. yeah, and we say yes and focusing on china here for a 2nd. so a lot of headlines. we've talked about china crushing some of their most successful companies like gant financial or education companies. you know, going back 500 years in china burning their treasure fleet. once again, you know, 500 years ago, i believe it was the bang dynastee where they had the world's greatest naval fleet . thousa

china? there's no question that china _ countries like china? d is going to develop its industry. the thing is china's emissions per capita per person of already overtaken the european union, the uk and the block off a lot of countries as a whole. china is starting to have a very significant responsibility also on the per capita basis. likely, if you look at china's plans and policies, this is all about developing new industries, making sure that china possibles industries are ready for this century and for the, and so there's no contradiction between industrialisation and carbon neutrality. industrialisation and carbon neutrality-— industrialisation and carbon neutrali . ., , industrialisation and carbon neutrali . ., neutrality. thank you. joining us on newsda . new charges have been filed against the prominent kremlin critic alexei navalny, who is already serving time in prison. the authorities claim his anti—corruption foundation infringes on people's rights. the organisation was recently declared extremist and banned. it had published invest

china? what do we lose with china? maria: a candidate who ran on the platform of holding china accountable was now turning his campaign rhetoric into white house policy. there is some question about the china deal that, you know, you are not going to be able to get china to stop dealing intellectual property. >> we have a policing aspect to this deal that's the strongest anybody has ever had. if that happens, i will turn in the deal. we are taking billions of dollars first time ever against china in tariffs. i'm very happy with that. maria: never before has a dictator for life experienced the pushing and poking as he did with president trump, america's tariffs proved consequential as the chinese economy slid into the slowest growth mode in 29 years. on top of rising pressure from america, protesters on the ground in hong kong, further increased strains on the struggling dictator. their plea for freedom from china was seen and heard around the world, after china tried to institute a new law that forced anyone charged to be tried in mainland china. a hong kong business tycoon fighting on the front lines of the protest fr

china's hands at all? because china is just about afghanistan. it’s because china. - afghanistan. it's a small border shared with afghanistan. i - afghanistan. it's a small borderj shared with afghanistan. i think afghanistan. it's a small border l shared with afghanistan. i think if we come into this question with the mindset of a great power of competition. american �*s losses china's gain, then probably yes, but i'm afraid that duality is much more complex. it's very, very nervous about it. you know, china thinks afghanistan is a quagmire, and they look at history being afghanistan as neighbourfor a long time in the 19th century and early 20th century, it was britain, and then 20th century it was soviet union. now the zist century it was soviet union. now the 21st century is the united states. such chinese state media are calling afghanistan the graveyard of empires. so you can see how china actually thinks of this issue. it's not necessarily american glass and china's gain. not necessarily american glass and china's gain-— china's gain. that's interesting. has

china. it was illegal to bring it into china. it was known in china, used in china for thousands of years, but it was illegal to import it. in much the same way that cocaine is known in the united states, but it is illegal to bring it in. then, as now, what people did was they used -- the british, french, american ships, had delivered their cargo's outside of the major ports, or arrived late at night under cover of darkness, or bribed every official they could see insight. though, there were fortunes were be made. so of course, it is an efficient way to do it. when i say fortunes were made, you might suspect that this is distant and far in history, which is in operable to you as an american citizen. but all prepare you to see this one case. in 1833 -- he became involved in the opium trade. what happens is once you become -- he had a daughter, his daughter married into another family, and all the bush family. they produced a son, the son's name was franklin delano roosevelt. rebecca came president the united states. when we're talking about this trying

china, the second largest economy. we re going to talk about what is going on coming out of china, a $1 trillion in imports coming out of chinawe will talk about how the biggest port could cause a amid -- could cause a major disruption of shipping in the u.s.. this is bloomberg. ♪ caroline: focused on china and one of the key stories has been the ongoing closure of what is the world third biggest port. taylor, this is all around -- when it comes to covid. taylor: it is like we did not have a problem before hand, we have a really -- we really have a problem now. these are shipping crates. it is east to west and west to east, europe to asia, all over the world we have been having huge congestion and huge pricing issues. we have had a lot of conversation on this program with the port of long beach and los angeles. they just finally started to get rid of some of the congestion and then, indeed, some of the supply chain kinks means that congestion is about to begin all over again. let's do all of this and more with the mercury group ceo anton posner. what do you make of some of the supply chain issues that we felt like this had st

china. it was illegal to bring it into china. it was known in china and had been used in china for thousands of years, but it was illegal to import it, much the same way that cocaine is known in the united states, but it's illegal to bring it in. then as now what people did was they walked around the law. so british, french, american ships delivered their cargos outside of the major ports or arrived late at night under cover of darkness, or bribed, and/or bribed every official they could see in sight. though fortunes are to be made. so quite an efficient way to do it. when i say fortunes were made, you might suspect that this is distant and foreign history which is inapplicable to you as an american citizen. i'll present you with this one interesting case. in 1833 a young man named warren delano, 24 years old, arrived in guangdong province and he became involved in the opium trade. he made a fortune. he made so much money he was able to return to the united states as it happens to be, and marry into a very wealthy and old family. what happens, of cour

our enemies to our national security, russia and china, china holding the rotating presidency of the un security council. you said the coming war on china. our you noticed the difference here as regards palestine with china, apparently trying to force the issue with a statement from the un security council core received against the wishes of the united states. the whole, the whole campaign against china and the campaign against power, san one and the same thing it is about control is about imperial power at a certain time in their history threatened they feel threatened. they're not actually threatened. they have threatening economic terms in the they may, there they are, economic prosperity is receding. but so in order to correct this, they are playing with the prospect of war. it's a terribly dangerous game. when i made becoming more against china and that was in 2016, i wrote the title almost says, a provocation. if i was doing that, so now i would say it's a reality. in a few short years, china from being in many senses are strategic ally of the west. certainly in the so called war against terrorism, it was and it's a relationship o

china. who knows with china? chinaay want pakistan to have a servile relationship with it, and dominate pakistan, and keep pakistan on life support economically. other states, the united arab emirates and the saudis could make pakistan contingent in order to go after those groups. then we have to prevent the worst from happening, a collapse in pakistan that would give jihadist terrorist to the most destructive weapons on earth. and the other worst that could happen is jihadist terrorists being able to initiate sectarian violence in india, and this would interact with hindu nationalist policies which are already creating anger in muslim communities in india. think about the horror of violence in the middle east, and think of that in a small part of india. anything small in india is big. stopping the spread of jihadist terrorism, trying to arrest the spread of it as it emanates out of southeast asia, this terrorist ecosystem ought to be a top priority. this requires a wide range of actions. we have to redouble our effort

first you protect the steel from people that sheet, like china -- that cheat, like china. china drives people out of the market and undercuts the american market. we can compete anywhere in the world of the rules are fair. we fight to make sure those rules are fair and the competition is fair. so that they don't dump steel onto the market at a lower price to drive companies out of the market. we help negotiate the usmca with canada and mexico which has big changes that protect us. it's a constant battle. and i will still follow the policies of the rank-and-file and what my affiliate say they want. host: next up, on the republican line. caller: i really have to laugh. i have been working retail for over 30 years. i would never, on death, be a part of the union. they are the biggest ripoff artists in the world. my older brother has worked in the food industry for over 30 years. i saw how whenever my brother needed the union, they were not there for him. all they are interested in is taking your dues and waving you out the door. when i see this guy sitting here, talking about how u

china and the region? it's not in operant unity for china - china and the region? china and the region it's an opportunity for the united states in the broader indo pacific to indeed bring to bear its resources and attention. of course in the short term that can be difficult. as secretary blinken just outlined there will be a lot of senior attention in the united states on afghanistan for some time. and indeed in engaging with the taliban government they are in order to make it last on a piling to western interests and western values. but the real opportunity if you want to get it or is for the united states to finally be able to rebalance to finally be able to rebalance to asia. ., ~ ,, to finally be able to rebalance to asia. ., ~' ,, , to finally be able to rebalance to asia. ., ~ ,, , . to asia. thank you very much. ashley townsend _ to asia. thank you very much. ashley townsend foreign - to asia. thank you very much. | ashley townsend foreign policy expert on the latest out of washington today. meanwhile to the other top story this hour. hurricane ida landed a

china. most have china as their largest trading partner. countries would like to have strong trading relations with china and often strong geopolitical ties with the u.s. forcing them to choose might create more problems than it solves. adding even more nuance, china is strong but it has not taken over the world. it faces substantial challenges ahead. it is drained quickly because of the legacy of china's one-child policy. it has not shown it can join the middle income trap forcing large economies to join the ranks of rich ones. china's economy xi jinping is unleashing regulators on the vibrant prooivate sector. and china's new foreign policy has caused a strong backlash from its biggest neighbors, india, australia, japan. last year the philippines renewed an agreement with the united states it long said it was going to end. can we face the complexity of this challenge? it's facing an unequal powerhouse that unlike germany or japan is not dependent on america for its security. it faces a new great power that is not a democracy and has different values and beliefs. and yet china has not occupied and controlled countries like stalin's russia did

china. this is china doing this to themselves i'm less concerned about the property market. to me the move in china and the move in em is about the regulators and the heavy hand in china and zero sense from investors they believe the credibility of the chinese government is, you know, on their behalf, et cetera. so, i hope china's playing the long, long game because the short game has been very, very frustrating. >> with india and emerging markets broadly, tim, last time the fed tapered, we did see kind of a falloff effect in emerging markets. is india poised to get caught up in that? and also it's a pretty big trading partner with china as well does it feel any effect from the regulation and more of the heavy handedness, as you describe it, that's been going on in china right now? >> again, i think, look, the global macro, especially that out of asia, especially out of southeast asia i think is very resilient and very organic and i think india's growth is consistent it's not reliant on china. it's a domestic economy. i worry about em trends overall. if it gets dicey and gnarly on the back of the f

we have china telecom now, china mobile going to follow with what is likely to be an even larger listing. this is after all three of them, chinaom, china, and china unicom were booted off the new york stock exchange here that was in response to president donald trump's executive order barring ties to -- companies with ties to the chinese military. haidi: does this homecoming fit into the idea of common prosperity, bringing that wealth home? julia: it does, in a sense. it has been one of china's ambitions to get more of its companies listed at home, on domestic exchanges. these are not exactly the large tech giants like alibaba but still, it does add to that. it seems to be good, to be doing it homecoming or listing at home on the mainland exchanges boosting the proceeds there and the activity there. going to use the china -- china telecom is planning to use the proceeds to build 5g networks, which is very much in line with china's priorities in terms of winning that race. haidi: julia fioretti, our reporter. the taliban's return in afghanistan is sparking fears on progress made on women's rights will now be erased. we will dis

china. russia and china both have their problems l with islamic minorities i and the taliban politically manipulative and sophisticated enough to know _ that and they are very useful to chinay china, with their suppliers of lithium. - i'm sorry to interrupt you, we've got some interference on your line, but we got your point. vincent, ten seconds, last thought. i think we have to look at the internal dynamics within the taliban route in afghanistan as well. the taliban might well fight their own domestic insurgents, not just those who are sympathetic with the us, but also those more extreme. vincent ni, janet daley and michael goldfarb, thank you all for being with us, and joining us on dateline. we will be back at the same time next week. thank you. goodbye. hello, hello everyone, i hope you're doing all right. now, for most of us, yesterday was rather miserable. we sell outbreaks of rain, it was cloudy, we saw those thunderstorms as well but today, i think for the majority, we will see a bit of an improvement. it's not a clear—cut story in that everyone will see sunny spells and gorgeous weather, we do have some scattered showers around, some of which may be heavy, but t

china. forming tech alliances will be in my opinion very, very urgent and it is looking out across, we can't out china china. our own system is working with partners and allies. building innovation hubs. some will be in different technologies, but it is also i think part of that information sharing and risk calculation sharing that we should have those dialogues about what is at stake and how we can use technology for being better in line with our values and the values of allies and partners. >> thank you. >> thank you for having this hearing, it is important for the american public to understand the openness of the last few years. your premise is right on the need to cooperate and collaborate with allies, but i would proffer that we need to lead in that collaboration. with respect to my colleagues point, if there is one thing in d.c. that we have bipartisan support on, china will be china and they have to double down. we have to make a decision, do we want to change the way that we operate? we are clearly bifurcated for the right ways. is it time to change the way that we look at that and how we look at ho

china. in regards to security and control of the south china sea. in the south china sea, we know that beijing continuance to coerce to intimidate and to make claims to the vast majority of the south china sea and beijing actions continue to undermine the rules based order and threaten the sovereignty of nations. well this is she discuss with singapore leaders, holiday gift shopping and climate change, rather than focusing on the vis afghanistan, and the speech sitting and singapore. the stories that we are now hearing about. the caution that if you want to have christmas toich for your children, it might now be might that be the time to start buying them? because the delay may be many, many months. now, china is appealing to the us saying the us and our allies committed right violations in afghanistan should be punished. so it seems like, well, harris is going around trying to take a little jobs, a china, china went straight to the juggler and took it to the top governing body of the world. so i don't know if this is more odd than awkward, but guess what? i know men
