i think on china us relations it will be - on china us relations it will be pretty much a continuation, whole of society contestation. i don't think braden is going to bring particularly new approach to that. —— biden is going. when he would do is manage diplomacy in what i see is a more conventional or normal way and if you look at his picks for the positions, they are the sort of people that are experienced and knowledgeable and the sort of people who used to be put in those roles and who are now back running things. but i expect a lot of continuity rather than change.— but i expect a lot of continuity rather than change. what will the trade were _ rather than change. what will the trade were continued _ rather than change. what will the trade were continued as - rather than change. what will the - trade were continued as aggressively or will there be a more multilateral trade policy perhaps with the rest of the region? i trade policy perhaps with the rest of the region?— trade policy perhaps with the rest of the region? i think some of the elements of— of the region? i think some of

china undermines the national system. instead of confiding on conventional battlefield it cripples us from within. as a result they've achieved such far could concern every american. there's a connection we must. the chinese parties ideology china's mind maligned actions are intertwined. they share is the ccd can pursue it since regardless of who it hurts along the way yet millions of people now at risk across the globe china's own oppressed citizens who cannot start their families, practice their faith or speak their minds without the fear of inhumane government retribution but the ideology is also tied to china's strategic actions against the united states in a practical way in the truest sense of the world as a totalitarian state. the centralization of technological and economic power and monopolies on resources and industry and disregard for human rights and their own fear of government retribution, these traits chinese regime a seriousthreat to the united states the entire world . this pollination of qualities and the chinese party to underline the values of liberal democracy, liberal equality

china competition of us asia. i think that is the first so there are some wishful thinking of a relationship are vietnam. that's a good question. thank you. >> next question comes from. how, vietnam is the second-largest communist party in the world you would think the sharing the game with the vietnamese public? >> and with that relationship with vietnam i don't want to overstate that either. but if they were not contiguous to china it would be different story but it is. and the chinese occupied vietnam for a century in the book is filled with other examples of the inventions that succeeded are partially succeeded but succeeded and failed. this is a relationship that has a lot of baggage. >> next question coming from up north any idea about. [laughter] >> that's a great question for chinese to use their listening skills. speaking in my specialty content on - - cortex were the challenges? that was through the listening skills you cannot be a major power and not be criticized so would you do with the criticism. and

past several decades training generations of students and a friend the most influential book on china and us china relations over 30 books and articles including china's future which we launched here at the wilson center in 2016. he conducted his research in china, singapore, western europe and most recently and important for today's program in southeast asia the newly published book where great powers meet america and china and southeast asia the subject is timely conducting his research and is more timely now during covid to become china's number one and trading partner not only after covid but for now it has the status and the regional comprehensive economic partnership which launched a free trading agreement has been completed but not the united states so this grows in importance we will ask for initial comments about his research and then we will have a discussion with her own ambassador not only to china but singapore and indonesia and knows the area and these issues well welcome back to wilson center is always we are grateful for your scholarship and your friendship it's nice to have

place so that you could have commercial, cultural and other ties while still having it so that china, in the usp, was beijing. china of course, and i'm in mainland china, the people's republic of china, use taiwan as a breakaway island that needs to come back into the fold. how do you think then beijing will react this move by the states? not well. and waiting for that response. i woke up this morning in taipei and you are never sure what is going to happen overnight in the united states. we certainly are expecting strong words from the ministry of foreign affairs in beijing at any moment and now if it is not happening while i speak. we have already seenin while i speak. we have already seen in the past year or so an increasing sort of aeroplane activity, military aeroplanes, doing sort of what i think is the equivalent of my young children in the backseat of the car saying i'm not touching you, and we may see some that activity. i'm hopeful though that beijing will be somewhat restrained in hopes of recognising they are really going to be dealing with the biden administration in a matter of da

china. bringing us to today, undeniable progress china said some centennial goals, the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the chinese communist party fortune was founded in 1921 for that celebration china has announced they will end absolute poverty and you have seen that, they met that goal and as part of the centennial goal announced they would double gdp and double disposable per capita income between 2010, and 2020. even with covid-19 which slowed the economy it looks like they are going to achieve that goal so to highlight quickly another statistic which says a lot about challenges that lie ahead from china. when i visited in 2000, and wrote about this effort to narrow the wealth gap a statistic i always heard about from local officials was the fact real incomes on average were one third that of urban incomes. that proportion is roughly the same so despite the years of effort, the growth and income, one 23 gap between people from the countryside and the city. we have seen an explosion in wealth inequality in china and the note inequality expert found the wealth gap in china is rou

by definition, it would be much more corrupt if china does succeed using technology as not for good purposes, but for neve fairions-- nefarious purposes and it's trying in the indo-pacific and elsewhere as well. this is not the whole china story. and my whole book talks about this in detail. china is beset by weaknesses and insecurity and it says so itself. in a leaked document in 2013, document nye it says in english, it identifies in detail what it fears. one of its biggest fears is what is calls western spiritual pollution. what it means by that is that with all the contact and commerce with the west comes ideas about liberty and rule of law and governing and xi jinping is cracking down on that sort of teaching and education system. even in the businesses. because it terribly fears the western ideas. economy has been flowing for a long time. it's not well-known, but in 2008, 2009 depending where you calculate it. xi predecessor hu jintao was under pressure to stop economic political reform, slow political reform, but economic market-based reform, but now the state sector in china has come

these are the ambitions that china has competing with the united states to diminish the us influence and the endo pacific in particular as well. but this is not the whole china story in my book talks about this in some detail it's also be set by weaknesses and insecurities and vulnerabilities. . . . . anothey has been slowing for a long time. it's not well-known but 2008 or 2009 depending on where you calculate it, the predecessor decided to stop the process of political economic reform, market-based reform so now the state sector has come rolling back and talks about how it's going to have a socialist market economy that it wants to see the rest of the world adopt. it's created a lot of debt that has doubled. china is getting old as we speak and is going to be the largest to get old before it gets rich. the age cohort in china to the well-respected demographers is the 50 to 64-year-old cohort which over generation would be very, very large and if you think about the public health strains on the system, the productivity this is one that it's not doing very much about. good money is le

to address the subsidies that china has put in place and other policies to erode our technological edge. first and foremost is an economy make the investments that enable us to complete with china in manufacturing, infrastructure, trading, research and development. there are sources of economic strength, but we need to aggressively counter unfair practices that china uses, whether it is to enforce technology transfer, or to invest in ways in the u.s. that are dangerous to our national security. >> thank you. i agree with you, there are a number of strategic areas we are under investing in, from ai, to quantum, to biotech, to robotics, machine learning. as it relates to 5g in particular, and while way, could you use that as a case study to talk us through -- amd huawei, could you use that as a case to talk us through -- >> could i ask you to make that a key west far, because we are running against a tight line here -- a qfr, because we are running against a tight line here. >> yes. >> thank you, senator sasse. >> we are running against a tight deadline, because we have to have the committee of this room available for another committee, but we are going to

policy, which is the policy that stabilised us—china relations ever since the us shifted its diplomaticnt on taiwan to the people's republic of china government on the mainland. what secretary pompeo was trying to do is really cement his legacy is an anti—china crusader, of sorts, which has been central to his approach to foreign affairs, and which he hopes to use to bolster his future political career. at the same time, he is also hoping to lock in this more confrontational policy towards china for the new biden administration, as it comes into office next week. they can just unpick it, can they commit a biden administration? yes, but i think secretary pompeo is probably trying to raise the political cost, because it might be harder for the political cost, because it might be harderfor the biden administration to back away now that he has removed these restrictions. that said, today the biden transition team issued a statement reiterating, as they have said through their time on the campaign, that they will abide by the long—standing one china policy. so this seems to bea one china pol

so we are going to expect more such negative measures well critics of the project say that china is trying to use it to further its global influence do they not have a point. well of course china is not you know just trying to help without getting anything from this but there is a very big difference we see in the west on the west. you know getting involved in some we just of their work and by this i mean they're you know liberal western it leads to lama leader approach just aired they only care for their own interests and if some you know countries government start agreed to and there are different political tested the steadily zation measures. being used in the case of china now what i observe is. there's a mutual benefit so on the one side of course china going to benefit from this but on the other side the partner countries also i do benefit from each infrastructure investments and as you mentioned correct in the beginning this is especially good for other countries which. i think one must start to give up on the west when it comes to those developing countries many of them have opted for chi

now that we have these imbalances again with china, attacking china, using the approach for multilateralde agreements, they may go forward but i don't see biden doing that in the first two years of his term. joe: he has a full agenda that he seems to be trying to get up and running even before he takes office. romaine: we have to address the elephant in the room and that is the impeachment of the current president, the potential that there will be a senate trial beginning, overlapping with the beginning of the biden administration. how much does that complicate things? sharyn: it makes, it is a distraction. he has to get his cabinet in place to pursue any of these policy items, so that will be his big push. however, if you have the senate engrossed in these types of hearings and all the grandstanding that goes along with that and the different types of testimony and trials, it can get to be problematic. moreover, things that should go through easily become highly politicized. biden shouldn't want his cabinet members to be sort of the retaliation for trump getting convicted. he has to be

or removed entirely, which would mean lower prices for american consumers or things made in china stopping the usd mean american companies will get more access to chinese consumers. but president biden is unlikely to rollback restrictions on chinese tech firms like huawei. china is now seen as a direct competitor to the us in key technologies that will shape the economy of the future. so don't expect any compromises on chinese tech unless we get some concessions on intellectual property theft, transparency and firm commitments from chinese companies that they are not collect data for the chinese communist party. beijing knows its relationship with the us has changed, which is why china is focusing on its domestic economy. that is a policy known as dual circulation. china came out of the pandemic better than most countries. it is on course to be the only major economy to have grown last year. the china that biden will deal with is bigger, bolder, and stronger than ever before. one of these —— whether these two giants compete or collaborate will define what kind of world the rest of us live in. the

he sees may be the time for china to decouple with the us now and of course we can attribute these to mr truong. trade war and he's campaigning against china during his presidency but i will see if entries a continuation of the administration of the obama period when starting from 2013 i think. the obama people to issue of course is already tricked the kind of stronger we're actually in china and in china start to be you artificial islands in the south china sea and all these us come to the point at the china realize that china need to have across a strategic and energy ties with the russians and it is a time to try mees has to seriously consider what is the future of the u.s. china will issues. does have for now more for me kevin out in half an hour more of a say about the same set out international in moscow opinion here going to leave you with just a minute or 2 more of those said junia fireworks that did take place around the world with a bit of sparkle to welcome in 2021 and see if. the year just gone. oh look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people.
