school officials to acknowledge that hosting a institute limit activities critical to china and not justat institute but also elsewhere on campus. in response to growing popularity, the u.s. state department initiated its own public policy program in china. .. .. it also has oversight responsibilities here in the united states. the state department conducts reviews to ensure foreign nationals who come to the united states on exchange visitor program fees are here for the stated reason. while the roughly 100 confucius institutes again at colleges and universities in the united states the state department has conducted field site reviews at only two. the state department fencers problems at both of those schools. statement vote more than 30 visas for chinese exchange students at confucius institutes are only supposed working at the university that sponsored the visa or teaching at confucius classrooms at local k-12 schools. state discovered evidence a fraudulent paperwork end quote that was quote an attempt to deceive investigators. moreover,, state policy does not collect these informatio

the state department has labeled confucius institutes china's most prominent soft power platform. our education groups have expressed concerns. the american association of university professors and many have recommended that how that u.s. schools change in managing confucius institutes or discontinuing them all together. we know the institutes exist as one part of the chinese broader and long-term strategy, but china has invested significantly in them and giving more than $158 million to u.s. school since 2006. that is over 12 years, and china have also opened or than 500 confucius classrooms, expanding the confucius classroom program is a priority to them. a document obtained by the subcommittee details a plan to expand the classes by getting the polished support from the state government, with a particular emphasis on access to the support from school district superintendents and principals. over the last eight months we interviewed u.s. officials and teachers, and we reviewed tens of thousands of pages of contacts and financial records and other internal documents more than 100

disks can withstand the toughest space has to offer but if that's not enough maybe you can get china's institute of cultural relics in archaeology in the young to let you taste the ancient immortality elixir they discovered in the han dynasty era tomb that's right three and a half leaders of a foul smelling liquid in a bronze bottle was found first thought to be alcohol but now it's a believed to be the first discovery of a mythical olympics or in real life but you might want to hold off on chugging it quite yet not only was it found at a tomb we did not immortal b. ball but one of the main ingredients in the immortality a lexer is potassium nitrate the thing that's used to make rockets gunpowder and fire works. and the other ingredient is essentially. so fertilizer and gunpowder was so we have. been going on about how you can drink it and live your then you're really knowing what i mean it's not really it's not so much it doesn't make you a moral express to see if you are to convince everyone that works out if you can drink good loo of god be with you. remember everyone in this world we are tol

the institute for china's thank you thank you very much for joining me this do. for disgraced former miss on boss call's go on it's third time lucky he's finally been released from japanese present on an almost nine million million dollar bail he's now awaiting trial on a variety of serious charges amounts to underreporting his salary for years and passing on personal losses to this son if convicted he could be facing a sentence of up to fifteen years in prison. carlos grown seen here where in the light blue cap is out of jail after a three month stint behind bars now the ousted nissan chairman can discuss his defense strategy with his lawyers in a private accommodation his new home is monitored by cameras and his internet access is limited and was granted bail thanks to his new legal team which he hired mid february. i don't think the facts have changed i think that it's possible that grown through lawyers have made a stronger case. but it's quite clear that the only basis on which he could have been. detained indefinitely would be that he was likely to escape.

we're joined now by sort of who's an expert on the asia pacific region of the institute for china america studies welcome to you thanks for joining us what do you think donald trump's tweeting about writing back on fresh sanctions when only a few weeks ago in vietnam he seemed to suggest the. no wiggle room as far as that was concerned. i think the sanctions that you're talking about are very small sanctions they're not grand big sanctions which are going to be passed to the united nations these are small sanctions but i think what donald trump is alluding to is that the u.s. north korea talks side of a very delicate face at this point of time north korea essentially has to get back to the u.s. how it wants to go forward and dora crum doesn't want to do that in a negative direction by imposing a new whole set of sanctions and that's why he's kind of holding his hand at this point of time and waiting till we have some signs are still where north korea wants to go forward on this front sanctions that were announced today we're going to chinese companies not korea ones do you think he was ma

crossroads with its relations with the you with us as well we're joined by the crits from the merkel institute for china studies so china is signing these huge deals what's expected return well china is realistic about what it can get from different european countries when it comes to france knows that france has grown more skeptical about beijing in its initiatives or as when it goes to easily for example it knows that it can leverage investment to then basically push to shift to pursue also chinese political interests in italy but also in brussels for example so a perfect business opportunity for beijing. a europe which is not united and china flush with cash it has the upper hand doesn't it it does have the upper hand and i think what for example leaders need to realize is that this is indeed a very unbalanced economic relationship that china is very clever to use and try what using the already extensive tensions within the european union and also it's important to emphasize that the european union it's just members that such as germany and france are trying to work towards greater coordination on ch

country's message is that the initiative will benefit everyone but the berlin based more cato institute of china studies paints a different picture it says that in over two thousand projects worldwide around ninety percent of all contracts went to chinese companies. the internet's your own by them for years it's very important to understand the project's intention it's about globalisation chinese style so making globalization work for the chinese government that means that chinese companies need to get contracts when market share and to help the country's economy grow along the way sort of oxen. large german firms are profiting at the moment as suppliers or service providers among them as deutsche of bonn which is involved in logistics and the belton road and mission of the country small and mid-sized companies on the other hand are worried they'll be cut out of lucrative markets huntsman head off has set up an association because he says the german government just hasn't provided enough support. indeed on the gulf if we don't watch out and make some positive progress if we continue to simply en

let's hear more on this now with professor steve tsang, director of the china institute at the schoolcompany cannot comply. so, in that context, the fears of the us, new zealand and australia, how would you see those? i think what we need to understand is that most of the time, the overwhelming majority of the time, huawei would not be interested in engaging in espionage, but if and when the chinese government requires it to do so, it will have to do so. and it is not really meaningful to talk about the general situation when we are dealing with technology that has national security implications. it is on those rare occasions when a government that does not share our basic values may interfere and ask that company to comply with intelligence gathering instructions. that is what we have to be looking at, and that risk has not been dispersed. it is potentially, obviously, going to be damaging to the business of the company as long as countries have these concerns. we were hearing the us, australia and new zealand have acted, and many other countries are looking at how huawei is involved

how other partners also wrestling with china on the same issues, how do international trading and financial institutions respond? this will be a key moment to how this plays. is amichael is describing domestic issue for china. it is a domestic issue that has all sorts of international ramifications. china is a great power. it will be the next great power. makeup and domestic powers make great historically has ripple effects for other countries in the system. there is a reason why the united states also saw the third wave of democratization in the world. we are seeing democratic backsliding in small part because of countries like russia and china, china ascended and russia back in the game, and the united states receding from the game. aat might be described as domestic experiment in china has international repercussions for the way that we think about regime a marker see and domestic choices around the world. >> a definitely does. the two dilemmas the chinese communist party faces is a requirement to break through the middle income trap to keep themselves in power. they are in a performance-based legiti

the increasing understanding of how the communist party of china is defining how they want their country governed, and enormous institutions around the world have enabled that. i say this as well because china is increasingly proactively using its power in a more coercive and assertive way to establish influence around the world with governments and within countries, with academia, with media, in ways that are intended to advance that objective. when you look at the standards that the communist party of china requires in its international engagement with countries around the world, its terms in trade arrangements, withare in direct conflict the standards we have required of international institutions that have ever kitted transparency and corruption-free assistance. transparencyred and corruption-free assistance. this as and i say passionately as possible, we see a difference of view on how ,overnments should be governed or how a country should be governed. not.the threat is the challenge is not necessarily coming from china's rise alone, china's economy, our relationship with china, the chinese people or the chinese diasp

largely determined by the but whether both sides would accepted the fact that china to its political or economic institutions were not be changed fundamentally washington want to be so it will not be a kind of a mirror image of the united states want and you see that the when we refer to those a market economy for instance there's no so called a a one size fits all models for the market economy and the china of course is where you believe that we have being engaged with our opening up and reform and the china's model for economic development in the past few decades has proved that it is successful and work for for china and we believe that those small those with with it's china's catalyst takes work for china so if united states try to through those kind of a negotiation or pressure try to change fundamentally and based upon china's constitution that we are china should change its political economic system it is impossible so if you know as they finally live with this reality it is likely for both sides to reach comes in each cream and well if if the united states continue to believe that through a continued
