know he's about to sign an agreement that will happen in washington on wednesday donald trump will sit down with china's vice premier and the 2 of them will put together this signature on the farce part of what donald trump says will be an extensive trade document as a little appetizer before that the u.s. treasury department is no said that it doesn't consider china to be a treasury manipulator and in fact there's no forcible commitment to making sure that the competitive fluting of the chinese currency so this is a big step it sure is that the relationship between china and the united states is actually cooling down because it was very hot for a long time there and people were suspecting there wouldn't be a deal and it's been reflected in the stock market as well things going well or none day their dollar trump in fact making reference to that is for a sporting event from the white house just a few hours ago but there are critics and of course you would expect it to come from the democratic side of congress chuck schumer who is the leader of. the democrats in the senate says that china is getting a gr

the made in china 2025 programme, remember that's one of the things the trump administration said chinahelping its companies out to dominate in the tech space. they haven't talked about those issues and there's enforcement, there are laws in place in the negotiation but it's not clear what mechanisms there really are to get the us to be able to enforce those laws if china violate them. with the phase one deal now done, it negotiators are starting to make new effo rts negotiators are starting to make new efforts to reach a broader trade deal but us president donald trump says tariffs will not be lifted until phase two is in place after the election. earlier i spoke to wendy cutler, former acting deputy trade representative to the asia—pacific region. imean, i'm asia—pacific region. i mean, i'm optimistic that the phase two negotiations will get off the ground, but i think they are going to be bogged down by very difficult issues, including issues related to the state directed economy of china, industrial subsidies, the operation of state—owned enterprise and frankly getting more on techn

so, china has been accused by many countries of being protecectionist, but really trump's decision totart this war was the ultimate defensive move. he has been watching china grow. if there is one thing trump is very good at, it is understanding who the winners and who the losers are, and he has been very worried about the prospect of china increasingly becoming a winner. so i think what is significant is this is really a protectionist stance on the part of the united states which is called into the -- brent: you say winners and losers. who then profits most from this agreement today? kate: on the surface, it is definitely the united states. china has agreed to buy $200 billion worth of american goods. as you mentioned, we're talking about farming products, manufactured goods, and energy. that sounds pretty significant, but it is hard to implement. for one, china said it will base this on market moves. but you will really have to create an artificial market for $200 billion worth of american goods. so, it will eithther involve chinese communist party officials eating a lot of soybeans

today we have to take a deep dive in to china and china is it forcing us into a sputnik moment now of course donald trump ran in 2016 make america great again and part of that is now a clash with china joining us to discuss this issue is dan collins and marshall our back now according to the i.m.f. using purchasing power parity china is already 25 percent larger economy than the united states and cons of course you live there for 20 years what did you see here you're in brooklyn as you can hear around us where across the river from manhattan and you're seeing a construction boom here by u.s. standards but put this into context of our competitor nation as trump calls that's what's going on there component here china has a distribution economically of course and sort of we're right the economy in brooklyn where we're going to be different than little rock arkansas trying to do they passed us on a p.p.p. basis on the g.d.p. back in 2016 so it's been a few years already the way i like to look at it too if you just step back and look at it from an economic standpoint they make their shoes and they make our sh

china. i like to say the big deal about this deal, charles, is the deal itself. prior to president trumpoming on the scene, everybody kind of thought that, well we already have a trade deal with china. it is pretty much, pretty much okay. you know. it is part of the furniture. donald trump has rearranged the furniture. he said that the our trade arrangement with china is very dysfunctional. we have been getting the short end of the stick. we're going to change it. he put tariffs in place, got the chinese to agree to renegotiate the terms of our relationship, the terms of this marriage, which has been a very dysfunctional marriage. so now, as you pointed out, they will buy $200 billion more than they were. they're going to end their practice of forcing companies to turn over their trade secrets as a precondition for doing business in china. most importantly, though, we're not taking china's word for it any longer. there is enforceable, mechanisms in there to make sure they comply. we get to decide whether we comply or not. if they're not compliance according to our determination, we reimp

trade negotiator against china when you're reading the chinese press what how are they looking at trump how are they looking at robert like hisor in particular and their trade position against china so trump was kind of an x. factor they didn't know how to deal with trump i mean trump is not acting like a normal politician they know how to deal with the biden family they give they give his son a $1500000000.00 so that's you know how you can deal with some politicians trump is just is acting is all a negotiation he realizes back to the point of the manufacturing base you can't continue to innovate when you don't make anything all the innovations happen on the manufacturing floor and we had this illusion and a lot of it comes from academia these economists that you don't need to make anything manufacturing is going away the reality is we've just had the greatest manufacturing boom in history the world it just occurred in china not the united states and we got rid of all our jobs you can't meet have a country of 330000000 people and not be able to make anything for. yourself realizes that

this deal marks a new era for us china relations that's what u.s. president donald trump and chinese vice premier league for hate said in washington the most significant part of the phase one trade deal is a pledge by china to buy at least an additional $200000000000.00 worth of u.s. farm products manufactured goods energy supplies and services in return the u.s. will loosen some of its tariffs on chinese imports. together we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of economic justice and security for american workers farmers and families trade showing you. the free one trade deal is good for both countries and the entire world it shows that we have the ability to act on the basis of equality and respects to handle and resolve relevant issues you're bound for. the agreement addresses more issues than had been expected china is committing to do more to protect intellectual property and to stop manipulating its currency to cheapen its exports in return the u.s. is no longer calling china a currency manipulator but the deal stops short of resolving the tr
