a larger chinese population.tress was storage of the birthplace of that. my father would have to go to chinatown for dim sum and i remember one day he came home and said, there is one here now. it just started to grow very organically. it is the same thing with the russian population, which is another very large ethnic group in the richmond district. as russia started to move in, we saw more russian stores. so parts of the richmond is very concentrated with the russian community and immigrant russian community, and also a chinese immigrant community. [♪] >> i think as living here in the richmond, we really appreciate the fact that we are surrounded three natural barriers. they are beautiful barriers. the presidio which gives us so many trails to walk through, ocean beach, for families to just go to the beach and be in the pacific ocean. we also also have a national park service. we boarded the golden gate national recreation area so there is a lot of activity to do in the summer time you see people with bonfires.

stocks and chinese stocks, u.s.rforming better than chinese stocks with a high share of sales to the u.s. investors are thinking u.s. firms will do relatively better no matter what the outcome is. what are your expectations for how these on talk -- these unfold? hao: it is interesting. what the chinese are saying is china is probably going to buy more from the u.s. so the import, especially from the u.s. is going to increase and it is beneficiary to the u.s. firms. since the course of last year, we have seen exports going to the u.s., that will be affected by the u.s. tariffs, starting to search. that is an indication u.s. importers are building up inventory in anticipation of any sort of uncertainties in light of the trade talks. going into first and second quarter this year, importing those could be slower for the u.s. importers. so therefore i would say after suffering sort of a horrific year, the chinese market could outperform this year. haidi: it is interesting that we have seen china buying more as an infant

the chinese saying this is not a ban.in terms of the percentage of coal australia ships, it is pretty small. markets are more concerned about whether this signals a harder line from the chinese, a pushback in retaliations for australian actions in blocking huawei, the start of a retaliatory stance in the chinese. that could be damaging for the australian's. again, australian politicians playing this down at china saying there is no ban. ramy: a lot of moving parts. thank you for breaking it down. don't miss a new look, bloomberg open, livehina with tom as we launch our new state-of-the-art studio. we will have some great gets to break down policies and assess their impact on the markets and global economy. let's continue this discussion, because president trump has announced to the delay on tariffs from chinese goods, as he is set to leave for talks with north korean leader kim jong-un. let's speak with bloomberg's ross cressy. we are already seeing positive effects in terms of s&p futures. let's push this further into th

, have been required to partner with chinese companies, and then to give the chinese companies their intellectual property. that, or those patents, then in able the chinese partners to eventually become their competitors. so, we are pushing hard to try to end that practice. the reason it is difficult in negotiations, is china denies it has done either of these things. having always denied it has stolen intellectual property, or it is a national policy to coerce transfer, it is hard to get them to agree to stop doing this. host: american companies have admitted that this is the price of entry into the chinese markets. guest: this is where it gets difficult. china says that this was not forced technology transfer, this was a deal that american companies took in the light of day, because they made the judgment it was worthwhile to gain access to the market and china is now the world's largest collection of middle-class consumers, so they took the deal. they said it was not forced, it was a business negotiation. there is something to that. host: our guest is robert daly, we are talking a

as going on very well how's that assessment on these talks from the chinese side. experts predict that the u.s. is still having the upper hand in the ongoing training because the china's sluggish economy and the rising unemployment rate are putting a lot of pressure on beijing they predict that if both sides cannot find a solution to end the trade war china's economy could eventually collapse. there's only twenty four days left on the hill the truce between the trade between the u.s. and china is to run out and tariffs are to spike again how nervous are businesses in china as time is ticking away there have been reports about chinese factories temporary suspending their operations because they're trying to assess the impact of the trade war on their businesses however experts that i talked to earlier today predict that both sides aren't likely to extend the deadline of the trade truce so they can continue to negotiate and find reach consensus on the course of lucian's issues after all they predict that. washington is unlikely to suddenly raise the terrorist from te

--are hearing the chinese that taught chinese envoy will be in the oval office tomorrow afternoon or a meeting with donald trump -- the top chinese envoy. we do not expect everything to wrap up by the end of play friday, but certainly progress is being made. >> what happened to the deadline? >> it is still some ways away, at least a week. we do not know at this point. we have been hearing talk in recent weeks that the white house is willing to extend. president trump has said himself that that was not a magical date. he said that earlier this week. at the same time, we are hearing that the u.s. side is keen to put as much pressure as they can on the chinese to get a quick deal and that they really do not want to extend that deadline very far. hard to say how long these things last, but as you know, in china, they have their own political calendar coming with the national people's congress. it is unclear if negotiations can continue through that. they will start march 5, last through the 19th. it is a tough calendar ahead. still a lot of work to do, but at this point, everyone is focu

business people or chinese government leaders what do you need to be aware of? how is it different from a traditional negotiation that you might be doing in pittsburgh >> in a typical negotiation, you have one person who can make a decision or move the deal forward. in china, everything is collective so you don't know who the most powerful person in the room is. they get together often, confer back with the answer or the response so it's not like a private negotiation. >> is there any question here, other than mr. lu, the head guy in this negotiation. who the president will, who's in the room but that's the point person here. >> vice premier liu is close to xi jinping but he alone would not have the ability in my opinion to make a commitment unless he had already cleared it with xi jinping. my guess is they were hot on the phones with what would happen in a few minutes. >> when we were together a few years ago after the current president of china took over, you said this person is different. he is a different kind of leader he is the most powerful leader of chin

those are issues the chinese are, i think relu cta nt to issues the chinese are, i think reluctant tos internal matters for china. the second bit is the americans want to monitor chinese progress. they don't think that whatever the chinese will agree at the table, they will stick to because they want automatic tariffs to kick in if china violates any of the agreements they have yet to come to. so the chinese are saying, we are willing to buy more things from america, open up our markets to american companies to resolve the trade dispute, but this dispute goes deeper than trade. it is about how chinese companies and the chinese market can be much more fair and have a level playing things vis—a—vis the american companies. briefly, there is a lot at stake and the americans have threatened to slap on more tariffs if things don't go well today? that is right. what we are looking for is have they done enough to set up a meeting with the chinese president? markets are not counting on a breakthrough to essentially end the trade war by march the ist, when you tariffs will come into place. esse
