how would this be good for the chinese people i think in general when you're dealing with such a huge population as was mentioned it's very difficult to enforce justice to ensure that people are getting the right access to capital through loans that they need so a system like this enables the government to have a very quick if a coach to social credit so figuring out who is the right person that should be accessing that phone and who it necessarily that person i think we've seen lots of bad actors something that comes to mind is e-commerce originally and when our balance in all first launched in china there were a lot of fake products and there are today so if there was a consistent way to rate and regulate both businesses and individuals it would really help society in general because it would take away a lot of those fears there's been lots of challenges around melt formula products and asked imagine if the average chinese consumer get their food knowing that it was real and it was not a fake product this was down to a simple thing which is basically the government is putting into p

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.

the chinese are the only ones who understand almost trump. welcome to business africa on the w m god office. earlier this week it became clear that the nigerian economy narrowly missed the expected growth target of two percent for last year the national bureau of statistics put it at one point nine percent and that is unwelcome news for president mahmoud more model hari who came to power in twenty fifteen on a pledge to turn the economy around in this sunday's elections he's facing a stiff challenge from businessman and former vice president who by car economic issues are taking center stage in the election nigeria is struggling with a whole range of them. congested roads and heavy foot full scenes like this are widespread across nigeria the country is home to more than one hundred ninety five million people making it africa's most populous nation the number of inhabitants is expected to double by twenty fifty. this is likely to pose enormous challenges to the country roads power grids and hospitals in many parts of nigeria are knocking or an

much of that influence campaign is pushed by chinese government itself. trying to link outcome of the trade talks, to america's stock market stability and growth, it is out right economic fear mongering and fiction. the president's historic call for balanced international trade, mutual fair trade would benefit the entire global economy. it a clear battle between national interest, worker, small business and u.s. multinationals and globallives who are investing billions to preserve the status quo and their financial interests. as expressed in major media outlets over the last week or two, networks as well and the political orthodoxy of both major parties. disinformation campaign led by chinese government with allies on wall street, corporate america some of whom vice president pence referred to. some of those allies are registered foreign agents, others are not registered but just as ene energetic in tryingo overturn the trump agenda. wall street, koch brother, round table, chamber of commerce, all working now to undercut the trump administration's positio

community by coming to chinese new year's dinner parties saying [ speaking in chinese ] and taking aew pictures and leaving. that was the old world, and the new world that was represented by ed lee was, we had to be far more proactive in empowering the chinese community. >> and we all knew that it would not be long before there would be chinese officials elected in every category, and believe me, from the time of the late '70s to the present day, that's evidenced itself none more dramatic than ed lee's ascendancy to one of america's most significant city, san francisco. >> it is amazing, in a way, how he played a pioneer. a lot of people didn't realize that. >> very much so. >> how did you decide on your approach. did you have to decide on an approach or did the story just sort of evolve? >> well, we talked to the lee family and said how do you want for us to approach this? we wanted them to be happy with it, and basically, they said well, we don't want to dwell that much on him being a politician, but how did ed lee become ed lee. so what we did was we went back to his hometown of s

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

, 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

that is why they are selling these chinese bonds. these are chinese buyers.onathan: that is the big fear out there, the belief that the diminishing marginal return for the debt is so great that the chinese are just pushing on a string. they are pushing stimulus into the economy and it is not biting. they have been doing this for a while. there are not real signs it is stabilizing. why will this work? >> the chinese economy has been rebalancing toward consumption. we have to get away from the idea that it is going to be driven by investment. in the past, china was largely driven by investment. you saw stimulus and then improving investment. you put that stimulus into the economy, it will support consumption. we think that is happening. jonathan: what do you think of that argument, james? >> i think it is an interesting argument. to some degree that is healthy. to a large degree, they could not go on investing at the rate they were in unproductive investment. my concern here is the type of fiscal stimulus we are seeing, which is consumer-related, may come a bit

against chinese theft. we can't simply take the assurance that they will not steal from us because that is preposterous. right now they are carrying out cyber attacks against the united states government against corporate america and having their way with the united states as if these talks were not taken place and as if they were in no way going to be in any way, and agreed party as a result of the actions of the chinese. we agreed we are under assault for god sake! >> we certainly are. we have these discussions with the chinese and now is looking back in september 2015 at the agreement where you had xi jinping, the chinese relisting mr. president obama in the rose garden and the chinese say that we are not going to cyber attack american for their purposes. they continue to do that. we saw from the crosscheck report that the fattacks are gaining all the time. especially in 2018.the question is, how can you deal with this? the only enforcement mechanism is that you make it so difficult for thechinese to imp

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

we also became aware that the inventories around chinese coal were starting to build. so we do believe that at this point in time, it has reached its capacity and they have said that they will not try to get any more shipped into the sport primarily because they've got some other key commodities such as iron or that they want to see shipped into that port. so is it a political search we are seeing now? i don't think so, i think it is the fa ct i don't think so, i think it is the fact that the poor is at capacity when it comes to call. david lennix there. earlier this week, when it comes to call. david lennix there. earlierthis week, huawei told the bbc that us emphasis that effo rts told the bbc that us emphasis that efforts to ban it from 56 countries will not crush the chinese company. the technology giant is facing charges in america related to treatment —— stealing trade secrets, while its former finance chief is fighting extradition. in an in—depth interview, this man right here is huawei's founder and ceo, he shared with her how he felt when he heard the news tha

well it seems that the chinese or the chinese come to look i'm called a company officials of actually furious and tired of this whole and your rhetoric in a press conference in the southern chinese the change in one of the retail rotating chairman of the company erik you has been accusing washington of quote carrying out a coordinating tactical geo political campaign against the chinese telecom firm. the us government is undertaking a well coordinated jew political campaign against whoever way it's essentially using a national machine against a small company so we have been wondering is the recent fixation on who our way truly about cyber security could there be other motivations. but this is not the first time that officials have been calling out to united states just last week the use words aside such as ungrounded insensitiveness and how would they were shocked the news of how the united states government has been lobbying european governments against the chinese for him now who statements come after us secretary of state mike pump ill media tour in eastern europe and has been warn

there's been a surprise increase in chinese exports injanuary.been looking at the detail of this. how has this happened then? anning, it is incredible, isn't it? despite the trade row between us and china that we'll keep talking about, we just china that we'll keep talking about, wejust had china that we'll keep talking about, we just had michelle dockery matic, chinese trade dated today surpassed expectations forjanuary. exports we re expectations forjanuary. exports were up 9% over the previous year —— michelle talking about. imports were down about 1%. far better than expected that they would decline around 10%. all of this coming after both exports and imports fell unexpectedly in december. it all seems the antithesis of what you would expect if your biggest trading partner slapped your products with tariffs. all of this as that new round of talks between the american and chinese negotiators begin in beijing, as the world's two largest economies renew those efforts to reach a trade deal ahead of that march one deadline when the us ta riffs ma

now if you choose the chinese supermodel legion one very prominently featured as you can see are her frankel's now in china freckles aren't considered classically beautiful and in fact many people see them as blemishes well this ad has kicked off quite a stormy debate in the comments there were some users that suggested that zahra was imposing western beauty standards or even by choosing this particular model to represent chinese beauty of trying to uglify china will bring up one of these comments here this way the user said sorry we asian women don't have freckles even if some do it's just a small minority like this young woman it's just her really the model you found is one in a large city. so you know zorra has responded to this controversy they have said we meant no offense basically we can boil this backlash down to differences in a static between spain and china so it's stepped on a mine field has come out relatively unscathed unlike melissa as you may recall dolce and gabbana a few months ago that tell you in fashion designer house had put out an ad featuring a chinese model g

vice president pence is trying to justify his position with chinese law he believes that the chinese companies are collecting their customers that are provided to the chinese intelligence services but the chinese government has been long denied any of these accusations saying that the interpretation of the law is actually one sided and as all this conflict between the us and is happening we solve that last the summer to the c. a full of the company was arrested in vancouver after changing planes she was charged with thirteen counts of fraud and conspiracy and trying to bypass sanctions on iran and just last month the u.s. fell to criminal charges against the chinese telecom from accusing it of stealing trade secrets from u.s. teleconference to providing it to the chinese state pretty much spying and it seems that with all of this happening between the two countries it doesn't seem like it's it's going to end there it seems that the conflict will continue. in beijing producer eventually from the ripley video agency. controversy is growing over an alleged attack on just see small it's

and chinese negotiators have ended trade talks in beijing went further rounds scheduled in washington next week now officials have praised the progress made and the discussions but neither side had much detail to provide. not every picture speaks a thousand words reporters in beijing would have liked to hear a thing or two about how the latest round of u.s. chinese trade talks were progressing but all they got was a neatly arranged family photo featuring u.s. treasury secretary steve menuhin and trade representative robert life hisor alongside their chinese hosts meanwhile in washington u.s. president donald trump was more verbless. tariffs are hurting china very badly they don't want to and frankly if we could make the deal it be my honor to remove them but otherwise we're having many billions of dollars pouring into our treasury we've never had that before with john it's been very much of a one way street so that's happening and. the relationship with john is very good but i think they finally respect our country. beijing has already said it will buy more u.s. made goods to ease the
