and i would meet, like, latino chinese, and french chinese, and mauritian chinese, and indian chinese. indian chinese, totally weird, right? they look like me, but they speak hindi, and they wear, you know... or multiple dialects, because we're in india. and they have gold chains, and they sort of move like, you know, in, like... you know, south asians. and you'll go to peru, where they've had, you kno a 150-year history of chinese immigration there. >> hinojosa: and great chinese food. >> and great chinese food. >> hinojosa: the best. >> and they have chinese men who can dance, like, salsa, merengue. and i was like, "wow, i've never seen such elastic hips on, like, an asian guy before," right? it's so fascinating. >> hinojosa: so what do you want... what do you want us to take away from this, jennifer? >> i think that first of all, this idea of authenticity, of being, like, true, is sort of an artifact. like, what does it mean to be authentically chinese, right? because i, in a certain way, am authentically chinese american in a way that general gau's chicken, you know, is not authen

by you and alan in our lando he is director of the china center at roland's college and author of chinese international investments in hong kong we go to martin henniker he is an associate director at the tight group and in chicago we have joshua lipman he's an associate with the boston consulting group and has done prior research on the chinese currency i german this is cross-eyed it means you can jump in anytime you want martin if i go to you in hong kong first the international monetary fund says that china will equal the u.s. economy in two thousand and sixteen but others are even saying that the chinese economy is already surpassed the american one how do you look at it. yes so you're saying that the most optimistic viewpoint is there a chinese economy may already be traders and large as in the united states once or who i'm entirely sure where it is but certainly from our point of view the perspective of your point on the united states and europe is generally still china is letting far behind and we think that's clearly not true apart from the i.m.f. we even had a study by the econom

in chinese thought and the classics. i went to taiwan in the years before it was possible for americans to go to the main land to study, i studied classical chinese and so the great writers, philosophers and thinkers at the time and then i ended up writing my dissertation about mao tse-tung, so very i'm much in the contemporary era. so i've kind of done a lot of things in taiwan to shanghai where i taught at east china normal university and later in hong kong, where i'm going again as a full writer. >> okay that's good. how long did it take you to get through grad school? >> that's right, i did it - it's a lot to absorb but i was - actually it was nixon's visit in 1972/73 that opened up in a sense china to the u.s. they saw it as opening china outward to the broader world and it intrigued me and i said this is going to be big and we need more people to know what's going on between our two societies. >> absolutely and as we are - you were here in the first part of the class and of course where we are in beliefs and believ

yes so you're saying that the most optimistic viewpoint is there that the chinese economy may already be twenty percent larger as in the united states one so they aren't entirely sure where it is but certainly from our point of view the perspective of europe and from the united states and europe is generally. china is lacking far behind and we think that's clearly not true and apart from the i.m.f. a study by the economist released just now saying also like the i.m.f. that china really surpassing the u.s. as the number one economy and killed as in sixteen of the purchasing power parity terms and put as an eighteen in nominal g.d.p. term so we would saying if they have not already overtaken the u.s. which is quite possible to do and sixteen for the nation that's probably the latest date so clearly from an investor's perspective you better look at china gaining some exposure in some way from a geopolitical perspective clearly it's. gaining influence quite strongly and it's probably a good thing that this is happening you know a china and russia can criticize a lot in the west but then a

the i design but you know you're right if i go to you i mean that's one of the reasons why the chinese are going to start getting more of their own domestic economy because they have domestic consumption i mean we may not have the cutting edge for exports in the near future whatever that means but they have a huge domestic market to begin work on that's a huge advantage yeah i mean i think there's no question about it but i think also when we look at the growth numbers we have to be very careful because if we grow from one to two. hundred percent for growth from one hundred to one hundred and one we grow by one percent in both cases we've added one unit of value but in one case we've grown one hundred percent and the other to the other place we're growing one percent so i think we have to take that into account on the china is starting at a much lower place now in terms of china's investment china is now looking to invest not only in china itself but really throughout the world in africa and in latin america in areas that were traditionally the backyard of the united states and they're

to the north, they want these chinese troops because the more chinese troops there are in north vietnam, that's two things. one, it acts as a trigger. if the americans come north, there will be a war with the chinese. and this is helpful to the north vietnamese. plus, if there are chinese troops in north vietnam, the north vietnamese can infiltrate more of their regular units into the south or cambodia or laos. when you think about american options next week, think about american options for dealing with this war, keep in mind the chinese presence here and the factor that that brings to the table. now, in 1964, the north decided that they would consolidate their control over the central highlands and they would extend into other parts of lowland areas of vietnam. and they're thinking that now they're getting prepared for what they think is going to be a final offensive against the south. and after the gulf of tonkin incident and the fact that they couldn't negotiated a settlement, the north decided at this point they really had to start committing regular north vietnamese army units to

chinese soldier.ort of feeling of sort of -- firstly now no longer immediate danger. danger still there. then mainly freedom of speech. then when my mother and sister get out -- afternoon 18th, then including my mother, now freely criticized the chinese. before that sort of a little bit of cautious. >> you were free at last. >> yes. >> free at last. >> i think at least that i think several i think thousand people should get some benefit. many vocation, some through writing or some through personal meeting, a number of people expressed to me after hearing your thinking, their mind become much more happier. >> well, i can tell you, your holiness, i feel happier than i did one hour ago. and that is down to you. it's been a fascinating hour. thank you very much, indeed. i really appreciate it. >> thank you. so, you see, there's some -- and then religious harmony is concerned. i made some contribution. >> you did. you have. you have. >> when i reflect these things, then i feel a success. >> your holiness,

i often tell chinese friend, now time come, chinese government must think seriously, and then they mustw the guardians of the policy, regarding the mient. they must follow the policy as stated. so their policy must be realistic. they mustn't exit the reality. so then the things -- they once they know the reality, and then process of policy according to reality. that is the policy. >> many of the tibetans who are taking their lives are doing so because they want a free tibet. that implies that they want separation from china. but that's not what you want. >> no. >> you don't think that's achievable. you think it's better to have a shared power. so what do you say to these young tibetans who are desperate for a free tibet, who are chasing separation? do you think it's time that they were told? >> some say yes, there is a law. there's been sort of a purpose. so some people say that means independence. but many tibetan, you see, if they really want me back, they really trust me, then automatically they will agree my view. so it is quite contradiction. they want dalai lama but they do not wa

vogue l is a well-known chinese expert. and i think you know what you talked about, you know, about deng xiaoping's factor, you know, his competence, the leader all agree with you. he's a very good, he opened the door thirty some years ago, one of the benefits person. i come to you now to state 32 years ago, but deng xiaoping is a good decision maker. he makes decisions very quick. but sometimes he made them too quick. so, in 1989 june 4th the trouble is caused by his own. if you don't discharge the statutory -- you won't have so many students after he passed away and dead on the street. so this is after his -- yeah, also -- >> as a quick decision maker and move to a quick question. >> yeah. i want to say something. and he is also not as good reader. he's a good leader but not good reader. all his spare times, he's played bridge. bridge the people and, you know, he promote his partner to be high position. so it makes some respect, you know, i don't want to waste people's money it's time. buy your book. and i appreciate my c

the chinese government immediately -- what could i say that the chinese government would not immediately manipulate? they do not understand what the real tibetans are feeling. >> some 150,000 tibetans have fled to join him in india. they seldom questioned the dalai lama oppose a policy of nonviolence and the middle way in his dealings with the chinese -- the dollar llama -- the dalai .ama's policy of nonviolence the meetings between his representatives and successive chinese governments have come to nothing. >> i will oppose modest failure to get some sort of close understanding with chinese government and some improvement in sight of tibet. these leaders -- very foolish. narrow minded, authoritarian sort of people. never willing to listen. >> in over 20 years of coming here and meeting with the dalai lama, i have never heard him so angry, nor despondent. nor have i come across so many here who are now prepared to criticize their spiritual leader. even those of the dalai lama's own age home i found demonstrating in sympathy of those who have taken refuge in tibet. >> i question the curre

joshua lipman he's an associate with the boston consulting group and has done prior research on the chinese currency i gentlemen this is cross-eyed and you can jump in anytime you want martin if i go to you in hong kong first the international monetary fund says that china will equal the u.s. economy in two thousand and sixteen but others are even saying that the chinese economy is already surpassed the american one how do you look at it. yes they are saying that the most optimistic viewpoint is they're trying as economy may already be traders and largess and the united states won so entirely sure where it is but certainly from our point of view the perspective of the european from the united states and europe is generally a that still china is letting far behind and we think that's clearly not true and apart from the i.m.f. a study by the economist released just now saying was a lie the i.m.f. that china will be surpassing the u.s. as the number one economy in two thousand and sixteen in the purchasing power parity terms in two thousand and eighteen in nominal g.d.p. terms of we would thin

chinese american student population? >> no. i mean 8% of those 411 f's. this takes -- this is just looking at the f's. >> ok. so then looking -- if i just go to the english column, where it says that 86 chinese american students got f's and then 94 african-american students got f's, it says that -- the chinese americans make up 5% and then africans make up 29%. but the difference is only eight students. am i misreading that? why is the percentage so dramatically different? >> because of the total number of students in that ethnic group enrolled -- >> that was my question. so 5% of chinese american students failed, not 5% of all f's in english? >> right. that -- >> that was my question. >> thank you. >> a quick question related to that. and maybe that's something you address down the road. but how surprising where -- were these numbers? because this is a pretty stark contrast that you're looking at. english, african-american, students are three times more likely to be failing in in english thans the rest of the population

vogel is a well known chinese expert. highly evaluated by the chinese, you know, academic and intellectual community. [laughter] and i think what you talk about about xiaoping's -- as a leader, he's very good. he opened the door 30 some years ago. one of the benefits that benefit person, you know, a country, united states 32 years ago but deng xiaoping is a good decision maker. he make decision very quick. sometimes he made too quick, you know? so 1989, june 4th, that trouble is caused by his own mistake. yeah. if he don't discharge the general secretary, you know, it won't have so many students after he passed away dead on the streets. so this is deng xiaoping one of his big mistake. yeah. also he -- >> [inaudible] a quick decision maker and move to a quick question possibly? [laughter] >> yes. but i want to say something. and he is also not a good reader. a good leader but not good reader. all his spare times is a raid of -- you know, bridge. he played bridge with the people, you know?

point i talk about the scenario of the chinese dumping their u.s. government and raising interest rates and saying our economy only to set the stage only because everyone else talks about it i actually don't think it's a threat for two reasons number one the minute they try to do that the president with one phone call of the fed to freeze their accounts in place all these treasury bills they're not paper they're not physical there are electronic book entries on the fed wire system the fed is the keeper of that system along with the treasury they tried to dump that we could freeze their accounts with an executive order you don't need any legislation from congress they would be locked in place and we'd say chinese we're not stealing your money we're just putting in escrow for a while we'll get back to you in terms of when you can use it so we can freeze the whole three trillion they can't pay it back actually treasuries would rally because we take that off the market to be a shortage of supply the other thing is they're completely vulnerable to the id
