you are on the china committee.do you make of what's going on, the private sectors leading the way, the administration has their head in the sand. >> at this point i will disagree with jamie diamond and elon musk. they want to get closer to china, that's a recipe for disaster. we need to start to decouple from china. can't believe what they say to you. most agreements get broken. even though you are looking at short-term profit, for the long-term viability of your company it is best you start to decouple yourself from china. we need to do the same in the united states, stop funding the instrument of what could be our eventual demise. china makes no secret they want to be the dominant economic power and dominant military power in the world by 2049. i don't want my children and grandchildren living in a world dominated by the communist chinese party. lauren: have you told diamond -- jamie diamon or musk that? >> they have huge operations in china. a good idea to start divesting and seeking other ways to produce phones

back here at home the very, very bipartisan new china committee, competition committee, held a prime an gallagher took specific aim at american companies that are still investing in china, that still cobusiness with china. and he says american businesses shouldn't be complicit in the ccp's ongoing genocide. that's a pretty strong statement. is he on point here? >> he's 100% on point, and i think this committee is doing incredible work. i think it's starting to focus the minds of americans, it's the also putting pressure on countries abroad that have been working closely with the chinese. the real problem though is, you know, while we are launching this effort to engage with allies all around the world to decouple from china or to derisk, we don't look particularly good when our companies are engaging with them and still doing significant business. so we're going to have to lead by example. i hear it everywhere i go around the world, hey, you guys are still neck deep in china, why are you asking us to put distance? aishah: but what is it going to take, jonathan? i don't know if folks a

that's why i sit on the china committee.nd of war. >> congressman seth moulton of massachusetts, we appreciate your time and perspective. thanks for being with us. >>> the russian wagner group is known for its ruthless role in the fight in ukraine. however, much of the group's power comes from its exploitation of mineral rich africa. in this exclusive report, richard engel takes us inside the central african republic where some of the world's poorest people are facing a devastating foreign war. >> reporter: it's not just about russian mercenaries funding the war in ukraine. it's about russian mercenaries funding themselves. we talk a lot about russian mercenaries these days from the wagner group. they are leading some of the fighting in ukraine. that is not where he this make their money. they do that in africa, especially in the central african republic where they are exploiting the mineral wealth of some of the world's poorest people. it's a failed state, torn apart by civil war. in the capital, i saw children starving to

mike gallagher during the china committee, the two most important ones on running productive hearings, given what you know about how agencies respond to hearings? yes, i have been both the obstinate person at state department and subject to an obstinate secretary clinton. yeah, i've seen them both. the best can do is make sure that you show with people who know answers to the questions you intend to ask. that is, don't don't bring folks who for the purpose theater bring them because they are subject matter knowledgeable whether they're in administration or experts outside. and second do your best to get the panel to be organized and disciplined because at the very least if the person on the other side of the table doesn't want to answer questions. you're not going to you're not going to cleverly goad them into it. but if you lay a logical sequence of the questions you present, you will force them to give you more than they intended. and stay on the mission, less grandstanding, better lots of preparation by the members themselves can you were disciplined in your questioning i remember

china poses. we set up that select committee on china that chairman gallagher has headed up and has done some reallyat. this bill doesn't do that. >> this bill sets the stage. this bill does increase defense. overall spending numbers are down which means nondefense, nonveterans programs will get cut. defense will not get k it's the only agency in addition with veterans that is not cut. the other agencies get cut over 20%. but defense is not only spared but we need to shift the focus how the money is spent. we've got to stop the woke ideologies we see at the pentagon and start focusing money on building a military that focuses on china. that is our main threat right now. that hasn't a been the focus at the pentagon. you've seen other things they're dealing with that have nothing to do with the main threat. we've got to face that. that has to shift. that has to be part of what we do in the ndaa and a appropriations process. maria: you know the issues. >>> i agree the china threat is the number one issue that this country needs to focus more on. but you need a willing partner in the white house. and jo

as i think the committee is aware, great lengths to control the narrative about the country of china and it is a way they use influence, intimidation tactics against people in the united states that may have ties to china and the chinese government doesn't just happen in the united states, but other countries, too. we work to identify and investigate whether they are police stations and form partners to share with them and we share back. >> can you describe the tactics the trends government uses? >> sure, i think in new york who denounced indictment -- >> what is mds? >> i think it's probably better -- they use tactics such as harassment, threatening relatives overseas and they can act like the arm of the government here and wide ranging intimidation tactics. >> i'm not sure if either one of you, the specifics to address this, i want to ask about chinese governmental efforts to fear in election in this country as well as others including canada to the extent you can talk about this in the classified setting, where do things stand with those efforts as we are moving toward 22024? >> t

china. i spoke with the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee yesterday, michael mccall on sunday unning the alarm about china's control of its supply chain, basically talking about what xi jinping said specifically himself. watch this. >> they set up all these national security laws that allow them to go in and raid american companies in china. but most disturbingly is a quote from xi jinping himself who says we want to get foreign nations dependent on our supply chains so that down the road we can cut them off from these supply chains. it's very clear what their intention is here. we saw it after covid with medical. we see is with rare earth minerals and a also also semico. if they can make the world dependent on them with the supply chain, they also have the power to cut it off. that came out of chairman xi's own mouth, out of his words. we have to take that seriously. maria: what about that, xi jinping said that in a speech exactly what michael mccall just said. the speech was in april of 2020. he said we've got to enhance our superiority across the supply chain, make the whole

i am delighted that you are as a member of the ways and means committee i think there are two of you with that are on the chinaelect committee. i'm looking for an opportunity to come up to brief the committee and get to know you better. let me get to the economic framework. you are absolutely right our partners in the region are thirsting for engagement with us on economic matters. that is what we are bringing through the framework including the digital engagement. we have got very robust, very enthusiastic participation from 13 partners in the region, 12 of whom are actively engaging with us through two rounds of negotiation. and i'm happy to spend more time with you there as well but our vision is for an economic engagement in the indo pacific that is first of all durable and well supported at home and second of all that promotes the shared interest of that we have with all of our partners around adapting to a very disrupted global economy that will bring more resilience, more sustainability and inclusiveness to all of our economies by working together and i would be delighted to spend more time with you and

to meet with such an appearance of such a controller from the central committee of the communist party of the communist party of chinan even see who is present at the meeting with the minister's colleague, there are clearly inspectors of the central committee of the communist party of the communist party of china. well, if we speak with such communist party rhetoric, who are overseeing the evil-doer, even though there is no need for him, but at least they make the progress of what is being discussed, you mentioned that that he is treating will be in poland in other days, he will visit russia, germany and france. as you have already correctly said, but he will not go to london, the question is whether what he thinks means what is meant by china thinks that london has a completely different vision of the world than in er, paris and berlin, you know when they talk about chinese diplomacy, ah, it adopted a lot of things from uh , many diplomatic schools, but the chinese simply do not tolerate uh, the british in uh, diplomatic behavior, and they very well, uh, can assess the position of london in general for china, the an

the top democrat on the house china select committee joins me now.nk you. >> how much could president xi take advantage of a default? >> he would actually exploit it to the max. he and his comrades are cheering and applauding what they view to be economic chaos unfolding here in the u.s. if a default were to occur, they would use it for two ways. one, they would try to explain to people that the u.s. economy is not a safe bet for their investments. two, it would be a huge propaganda win for them, which they would amplify around the world showing that just the way that we govern ourselves doesn't work, and instead, people should opt for their system of governance which is more authoritarian. >> democracy, it's so messy. isn't it? i say ironically. >> they would basically -- xi has made it very clear that he wants the people's republic of china to lead the world in, quote, comprehensive economic influence. this would absolutely play right into his hands. he couldn't have scripted it better. >> how big a problem is it that china owns at least a trillion

china this morning. house oversight committee chairman james comer joined me yesterday on sunday morning futures to discussng if this is one of the decisions that joe biden made that he was actually paid for personally. watch this. >> this is one of the worst decidecisions respect to nationl security that joe biden made as president. the amount of money that china has sent biden and biden family entities has y apparently impacd many decisions that the administration has made that were adversarial to every american. our national security is at risk because of bad policy decisions that joe biden made that china first and america last. maria: joining he me, gatestone institute senior fellow, author of the coming collapse of china and the great u.s./china tech war, gordon chang is with us once again. gordon, this is all so extraordinextraordinary, the fae decisions that the president has made are now being questioned. your thoughts on the china initiative and the effectiveness of it and when joe biden walked into the white house he canceled it. >> yeah. the most serious national security threat to the united s

we are going to be looking at this and the select committee on china and in this committee and in theinancial services committee on which i serve which is china should be aligned with our export control regime. and limited to capturing outbound investments and the spirit of existing export control rules. in other words, why should restrictions or notifications on regimes in china not also be a place-able to what is on an export control list? >> of course we are working on the investment program and i know that congress is looking at that as well. >> do you have visibility and to the prc company that remains in the index funds listed on u.s. exchanges? >> i do not. >> that is what we need. that is what we do not have right now so we need lift coordination because if we are worried about export control and if we are worried about companies that are on this list but american investors are financing, unwittingly financing the same companies that is a problem. that is a gap that we need to fix. and i appreciate your attention to that. mr. nathan believe me we will be talking to treasury ab

he told us about this at the hearings of the united states senate committee on china, he was asked whye cannot do this , in particular, the republican senator e.e. linsey graham , he did not insist on the need to declare russia a state and a sponsor of terrorism , why did blinke say never say never well, having made it clear that it could be yours that restrains the united states of america in order to declare russia a state sponsor of terrorism with all the legal and economic consequences that could be affected, including the guidance of the russian people to putin, you know what i'm going to tell you. i think we've passed this stage, that's why secretary of state blinking says that it's never too late , it's okay, but i think that now already that is, we have already gone through it, we need more and further because uh, i will now explain why because these are the statements that were made during the meeting of the foreign ministers of the g7 in japan and now soon there will be a meeting at the level of the g7 heads of states and proposals and about this garden wrote and not only abo

china. yi explained in a speech to the committee that the committee has obtained and translated into english that cefc china's vision is very simple. it is to obtain overseas resources and serve the national strategy. not u.s. national strategy. chinese national strategy. and chinese national strategy is chinese communist party's strategy. yi was close to president xi jinping. the d.o.j. has referenced yi and cefc in a scheme bribing african leaders. the other chinese national i'll mention now is gongwind dong who did work for yi in america. when yi needed to do business in america he often looked to him. the amount of money he was sending to him was staggering. from june through august of 2017 alone, yi transferred to dong in america more than $130 million. yi met with hunter biden in february, 2017, and gave him a diamond reportedly worth 10's of thousands -- tens of thousands of dollars in gift. yi through dong opened up a business with hunter based here in washington, d.c. and hunter wanted to get joe biden's keys to the office and they could all share office space together. according to

we are going to be looking at this in the select committee on china and the financial services committeerestrictions on capital flows to china should be aligned with our export controls regime and limited to capturing outbound investments that circumvent the spirit of existing export control rules. in other words, why should restrictions or notification regime on outbound american investment in china not also be applicable to what's on an export control list? >> we are working on an outbound investment program. i know congress is looking at that, as well. >> do you have visibility into a prc entity list companies that remain in index funds listed on u.s. or other exchanges? >> i do not. >> that is what we need and do not have right now. we need list coordination because if we're worried about . because if we're worried about export controls, if we're worried about companies that are on this entity list but american investors are unwittingly financing these companies, it's a problem. that is the gap. we will be talking about the problem. we need coordination so we are not unwittingly fina

china's compliance. ambassador tai, that should be a no-brainer and we'd love to hear that information. in the meantime, the committee is prepared to take common sense steps to strengthen our supply chain and reduce our dependence on china. that includes more u.s. production and deeper cooperation with allies, but during hearings in west virginia and in oklahoma, witnesses representing america's farmers, the energy producers, and manufacturers told this committee that they are ham strung by red tape and the biden administration new taxes. they deserve better. the biden administration unfortunately has refused to recognize that the constitution requires congress to be at the center of u.s. trade policy. through so-called trade frameworks that side stepped congress and fell to establish durable agreements. this administration is fueling the supply chain crisis and plunging american workers, farmers, and manufacturers into prolonged uncertainty. and then with dialogs and frame -- endless dialogue and frame works, for constitutional authority and giving american people a voice over trade. in order to succeed, this admini
