the chinese economy is slowing. obama had an upper hand in this meeting. >>> okay, things that go bump in the night. >> in august, the pentagon warned that a chinese fighter aircraft jet had flown dangerously close to a u.s.p8 military plane off the coast of china. later this year, china expanding its nuclear submarine fleet to include attack submarines armed with nuclear missiles. with a range of nearly 5,000 miles, these nuclear warheads are capable of striking the united states from east asia. because of this rising potential for a military miscalculation at sea, or in the air, the u.s. and china signed defense protocalls this week to minimize the chances for dangerous encounter to better coordination about maneuvers, advanced notice, and military to military communication. >> question. is this perhaps the most important achievement of the summit? mort zuckerman. >> it certainly is an important achievement. i have to say i disagree with pat's analysis. >> i think all of us do, don't we? >> at this point, not alwa

the chinese commitment, the u.s. commitment still means that we're going to fail to reduce global warming levels to what is required to avoid a 2 degrees sent grat centigrade increase where scientists say bad things will happen. >> it can be stopped through legislation, what do you predict will happen? >> i really begin think this is a wet firecracker. if you get a decent shale video where shale production continues to expand during this time period, which is entirely reasonable, at the pace that consensus expectations, the energy information administration, you're going to get this done from shale subbing out for coal. i don't think that senator mcconnell ate job loss are warranted. i don't think the claims of drastic epa regulation is necessary. if the government is going to interview in gas production in some way, then you have a different story. i think both of us see this as not a big of deal. >> two guys who normally agree are agreeing on this. when we come back we'll look at two power players on the u.s. and c

thank you both very much. [ speaking chinese ] [ speaking chinese ] [ speaking chinese ] [ speaking chinesehaving a little bit of a problem with the signal there, but we have been listening to president obama and the chinese president discussed their talks in the past couple of days, and we were getting some questions from the press. hopefully we can get that back so we can hear the response to that. some of the main things -- actually, we have it back. let's take a listen to the president. >> and i think it's fair to say that there are differences between the united states and china on a range of issues. i am a big believer in actions, not words. this summit, i think, is evidence of the value that china plays in the relationship between united states and china. [ speaking chinese ] >> i'm sorry, go ahead. [ speaking chinese ] [ speaking chinese ] [ speaking chinese ] >> on a whole host of issues at this summit, we have shown that u.s. /china cooperation can end up not only being good for the two countries, but for the world as a whole. [ speaking chinese ] >> and i do think that one of the

the chinese give preferences to chinese companies, particularly state-owned companies, that operate in china. american businesses ten years ago used to be one of the strongest supporters of the u.s.-china relationship. that is really no longer true today because american companies -- some are making profits but they're facing more and more challenges. this is also true, of course, for companies from other countries. so, this is an area where i think president obama has been very firm with the chinese, that we are looking for an even playing field. in terms of investment in particular, in financial services in china, where the chinese have not provided the same opportunities to american companies as they have to chinese companies. >> host: let's go back to that issue of human rights. here's a headline from "the wall street journal": hong kong democracy protests are far from the apec spotlight in beijing. is this an issueat president obama will discuss in these side bar meetings? >> guest: president obama will certainly discuss hong kong with chinese president jinping. the protests there

tibet and the hong chinese have a different reading of how tibet is chinese. and importantly there is a debate which is is there a way to have a more robust tibetan life inside the borders. they want to worship more frequently and have fewer hahn chinese moving into the tibetan areas. we hear about this in the west because the chinese do believe if they lost tibet and somehow it was able to achieve independence that would lead to similar secessionist movements elsewhere. china has 56 ethnicity and if they allowed themselves their integrity to be compromised they would lose everything and they blame the dalai lama most of all. >> host: why do we americans, and not everybody, but so much fuss over the dalai lama. >> guest: he say an accidental person in history. he never left asia until his mid-30s. think about that. he lived very much the life of his predecessor and the predecessor before that. but he realized at a certain point if he did not turn the tibetan cause or allow himself to be the face of something people would emotionally connect with -- tibetans ar

and the largest number of chinese students so perhaps it stanes to reason, that chinese tourists are coming to southern california in record numbers. the world famous hollywood sin, the santa monica peer, must see places for most tourists visiting los angeles. but chinese tourists aren't like most, the single largest group visits southern california shore, have little interest in going there, instead, they are coming here. >> coupons. >> to the outlet malls. >> i met jerry while his wife was hunting for bran name bargains. >> i spend most of my time shopping with my wife. >> outlet malls like these shops are so popular, they are welcome back and a red carpet awaiting their arrival. there's a v.i.p. room, and a currency exchange. signs and maps are in mandrin. the, maaing director says the stores are china ready. >> china ready what does that mean. >> well, they have been trained on the chinese custom. how to say basic customs. most have hired chinese substitutes. and they expect union pay, and our whole shopping center is just china friendly. and china ready. >> in fact, much of l.a.

chinese markets did outperform others in the region. the shanghai composite, in fact, jumped more than 2%. it hit a three-year high. the exchange tie-up will give global investors greater access to shanghai stocks. here in tokyo, though, the nikkei shed nearly 0.6%, as the yen rebounded against the dollar. well, in currencies the dollar is slipping against other majors on weaker than expected u.s. jobs numbers on friday. euro dollar right now is at roughly 1.2497. the dollar also pulled back from a seven-year high against the yen. it's now trading at right around 114.06. >>> well japan's minister of economy trade and industry has proposed cutting the corporate tax rate by more than 2.5% in the next fiscal year. miyazawa says he will ask the government to discuss the target. miyazawa made his proposal on monday to the chairman of keidanren, the japan business federation. he welcomed the news saying he expects the minister to seek consensus for the tax cut. the government has already announced plans to cut japan's effective corporate tax

if you talk about a constructive approach [ speaking chinese ] is a positive term in the chinese context.

[ applause ] >> thank you very much, mr. rudd. i would like to open the floor to some questions that, if i could, maybe i could start with one. the question is this -- do you think that american or chinese economic strategy is sufficient given the broad scope of the region that you describe to us? what advice would you have for both countries in that area? >> well, the wisdom of foreign policy is neve

he is expected to meet with top chinese government officials. they'll discuss a possible summit between japanese prime minister shinzo abe and chinese president kping ping. this would be the first for the leaders. they're hoping to hold it before monday in beijing. chinese officials have said japan must recognize there's an issue of sovereignty of islands in the east china sea. japan controls the islands, china and taiwan claim them. they maintain they're part of japan's land. there's no issue to be resolved. china wants abe to state clearly he won't make visits to the shrine that honors japan's war dead. those remembered include leaders convicted of war crimes after world war ii. chinese officials have not yet said whether they'll agree to hold a summit. >>> prime minister abe says he will compile a new national strategy on dementia. it would promote research and prevention and is treatment of the disease. abe was speaking at the international conference in tokyo. he said it is a global challenge to create a society in which people with dementi

a chinese gentleman living in taipei wrote him a letter. and who is this chinese gentleman? he was the provincial commissioner for the civil defense during the war of the province that the general and crew were supposed to land in. and this gentleman had already retired. but all those years, he felt regret, sorry for not receiving the general and his flyers. properly. so he wrote the general a letter to the hotel where the general was staying. and the general was so gracious. he expressed his regret, asking why, general, you did not land in our airport as scheduled. and the general was so gracious, he wrote back. i have this letter. i found it in the gentleman's memoirs. it is in chinese but i translated into english. now allow me to read this letter from a general doolittle to our gentleman to you. it says, i was delighted to receive your letter of may 18. we are very grateful that our chinese friends built in airport for us and helped our crew members. unfortunately, the aircraft that carried the navigation equipment crashed on the way to china. therefore, there was no bea

it's thought to be a chinese fishing boat searching for coral. on another vessel, people can be seen working on the deck. the crew is apparently lowering a net into the water. several japanese coast guard ships have been patrolling the area. the crews are trying to identify boats operating illegally. but it's not easy. last month, crews from two chinese ships were apprehended. for illegal fishing. but that's only the tip of the iceberg. the coast guard has confirmed that as of monday, 205 chinese boats were operating near the ogasawara islands. under international law, officials cannot make arrests. even in japanese territorial waters. unless they actually witness poachers in the act of putting nets into the water. t the chinese ships are believed to be targeting coral varieties known as precious corals. the coral is considered a symbol of good luck. the most popular variety, red coral, fetches around $21,000 per kilogram. one expert says chinese crews are poaching coral around japan because they've been chased out of their own waters. >> transla

let's now hear how the chinese side reacted to their japan/china summit talks. takafumi terui reports from beijing. >> reporter: this is tuesday's edition of a beijing daily. newspapers here have been carrying reports on the apec forum on the front pages. and many of them gave wide coverage to the meeting between abe and xi, with a large photo of the two leaders. the papers say the talks were held at japan's request. but they also say the meeting was important. as part of efforts to improve ties between the two countries. much attention was given to the expression on president xi's face when he met abe. he looked more stern than in other images of him with apec leaders. many people believe this was because of the two countries' strained relationship. many messages posted on the chinese social networking service weibo said it was good president xi didn't try to flatter abe. they said his expression reflected china's discontent and animosity against japan. >> translator: if president xi had been too friendly with japanese prime minister abe, people in china would

two chinese companies.his is from "the wall l."eet journal your c guest: the president will discuss hong kong. the protests have been ongoing since march. there is a desire among the students in hong kong to directly elect the candidates. when the chinese took over hong kong, they promised that they would allow hong kong to move toward universal suffrage. what they have agreed to is one man one vote. allow the people of hong kong to vote for a slate of candidates that are preapproved by china. they really don't have much choice. democracy in hong kong looks to be quite far away. i think president obama is worried about how the protesters are being treated and worried about the future of democracy in hong kong. there was some use of tear gas and pepper spray. so far, no violence. some people worried about what happened in tiananmen square in 1989. the young students were fired upon. that is like -- unlikely to happen. the president's message will be to solve this peacefully and in a way that you win the supp

the pentagon makes a direct accusation that the chinese government and the chinese military for beingnd at least some of these attacks and yet you don't have any kind of real confrontation from the president of the united states, in fact he's there telling the chinese that he wants to take the relationship to the next level. the same is true for russia. you have again rhodes saying that russia is going to feel isolated. russia is participating in an international conference right now. thigh just struck a new deal with iran. they're not isolated at all. president obama in his eagerness to avoid confrontation, which is understandable, has actually been a signal of weakness. >> obviously russia and china have a close relationship and a lot of money on the line. >> all right, and you can just see in the body language, president obama's frustration that putin is so provocative, he always likes to pat him on the back, bring up something in passing, get photographs taken and get -- he relishes the theatrics of all this and obama doesn't, he's demoral'sing the ewlekation. and his entire story

but a lot of the chinese chew gum as well.t the formality of the situation that some thought it might be inappropriate. but anybody who knows president obama knows he chews gum. and it's also as you indicated to try to stop smoking. but more importantly is the substance of the meetings he's having with the chinese leaders. not just the chinese leaders but because his official state visit was preceded by this asia-pacific economic cooperation meeting and featuring the leaders from the asia-pacific region in which they're trying to firm up a trade deal called the transpacific partnership which would be a very high-standards trade agreement which has the chinese a little bit nervous because eventually if they were to join that agreement, they'd have to raise their standards in terms of labor environment, working conditions and things like that. >> as you know, governor, the chinese -- they have like a $300 billion trade advantage. the u.s. has a trade deficit of $300 billion, is that right? >> that's right. we have an enormous tr

(laughter) i'm just as offended as the chinese people. as we all learned in school, if you want to chew gum, you bring enough for everybody -- that's 1.3 billion sticks.

for chinese consumers, it's really good news. they are still very deeply distrustful of the safety and quality of the produce, especially the dairy and the meat that's made locally. even six years after the formula contamination scandal from 2008. they haven't seen the progress from domestic producers, despite a number of crackdown campaigns here, so they're looking to buy imports to really ensure what they feed their children is safe and they see australia as a really sort of trusted source for produce, dairy, as well as meat. it's a big boom for wine as well. the anti-corruption campaign in chain has dampened demand for wine somewhat, although that's really hurt the chinese high end liquors the most. still, there's long-term upward trends among the individuals towards drinking wine for their own use. we talked to a lot of women age 35 and up who have a glass of wine every night before bed, and australia is becoming more and more known as a source of wine. but anyway, what the trade deal will do is reduce the price for all of th

when you are talking to accompanied says we are a chinese company you don't know if it is a chinese company or if the company is partially owned by the government representing the government so when you put our companies into that mix it is hard to compete and there was reference earlier to the foreign practices act and clarification and clarity when you are working with in the balance and everyone wants to work within the bounds the you are very clear that the activities you are undertaking on not going to put you of all of that law would be helpful. we can overcome china's advanced amount of financing they have available because we really make better partners. we are there for the long run and i think that the african governments understand that and we need to work to pick up on your second question, we need to move it out of the leadership, the heads of the ministries and government officials and move it to a level where they are talking to the business people who like businesspeople here can go talk to the government but they need the support and help and assistance we can provide them.
