congress suggest? if i was a hotelier i would also want to see the zero covid policy being removed very soon. the partys signalled the policy is probably unlikely to remove any time soon despite the immense socioeconomic costs. so xi jinping did say that by permanently implementing the zero covid pass the communist party has been able to maximise chinese people's life and health so by sticking with your home policy, xi jinping can't control china's interaction china's interaction with the rest of the world, from that perspective he can prepare the chinese people and the chinese economy for the isolation if they were to impose sanctions. if war broke out in taiwan. there was as extraordinary, some would get say quite a sad moment when we saw hu jintao seeminglyjust lured away from the hall. what was your reading of that moment? he is the last of china's leader being appointed and chosen to lead china. the removal of him right at the closing ceremony of this party congress were xi jinping is getting confirmed as the unprecedented third term his loyal people were there. i consider that as putting an end t

most candidates belong to either the centrist nepali congress party lead, but incumbent prime minister, or the communist party. the mood for change is palpable estimation grapples with widespread corruption, slowing economy, and many other problems. our health education on the new government should move forward to provide health and education because their common facilities is needed by everybody in the common facilities that we're going to visit with you here. we need you full leaders. we've seen the old generation work. now we need to see new faces and new talent, that voter referring to several young candidates who are contesting against an old guard that has been in power for decades. one of them is branby. lemme churney a former television host. he vows to bring political stability to a nation that has changed over a dozen of governments in the past 16 years. durham nozzle, mulligan's, people are saying, we've been cheated. we've been looted that there is discrimination. our land has been encroached, reserving. these are the problems that people face, but they're not finding a pla

we see that in the once every five years party congress that concluded last month, at that party congress-- he also elevated the idea of a struggle, it is a stalinist idea that china has to constantly identify and isolate its enemies and mobilize the communist party against those enemies. he has now written that into the communist party charter as the effective -- defacto guiding principle. we have seen xi jinping turn the page on reform and opening, and begin this -- this period of struggle, as he puts it. his speeches were often ignored because the most important speeches that she should paying -- xi jinping gave, wasn't the speeches he gave in the rose garden, it was those that he gave to his central committee which are not usually translated into english and are sometimes kept secret for weeks or even months after the event. it gave insight into where the president is leading the country , it is hostile to the united states, it is sympathetic to moscow. he believes that communism will prevail, it is clear from his speeches he believes that capitalism will perish and a chinese model of

has a majority in the house of representatives and the other party is arsenate, then such a congressvery, very few laws, because it is simply, especially in the last 10-12 years, the party simply the interests are so opposite, especially with regard to domestic politics, that it is not very difficult for them to agree on something, and the regulation of both chambers is such that in fact the majority controls everything, the minority cannot propose a bill that would be considered in conflict with the desire of the poor, so, for example, if in the house of representatives of the majority of the re station, they can accept everything they want there, you know everything, if they are in the majority, everything is not there, she simply can not consider what she accepts there, but even if even if we also assume the republication of the elections by the senator's regulations, where the adoption of most laws requires 60 votes a-a well, this is done so that no party has a monopoly on decision-making 17 and therefore the votes of the opposition party are necessarily needed in order to adopt

chinese government saving the company from bankruptcy makin 2019 but says and pays the links to the congress party as a threat. hundreds of people will have to find new jobs. we're genuinely shocked the decision is wrong and we will appeal to overturn this divestment order to protect the over $500.00 jobs at new port. we spoke to the director of european studies at redmond university who thinks the decision is not in london, economic interests, but its desire to comply with us foreign policy. this is a political interference of the market. at least $500.00 jobs would that be loose? and also for that for the british companies. competitive advantage also in danger and also damage to the investment to environment for you. okay. put it after the break seats, you'll k ought to be very neat. china, maybe india market to replace it with a single market of the european union. so those behavior actually is on their fire to the oil, or they're turned on the okay relation, because you, okay, you said 5 eyes, airlines of united states. when the u. s. puts a lot of chips and semi conductor and then the force o

mentioned, also a very controversial visit that schultz is visiting so soon after the communist party congress, which took place here in beijing to seal another 3rd time in power for she. jim ping concerns that he is becoming a dictator almost in the model of modes of dawn. and what that means for where china is headed and concerned that all of shots doesn't seem to be going as far along with the kind of rethink that many think is required of germany, of his relationship with china, or by visiting so soon after that party congress yeah, you've touched on it, flaky, but you know, berlin and budget beijing have had deep trade relations. but we know that back home in germany, many are raising major concerns about these bilateral ties. the china. just remind us that in a little bit more detail, some of these fundamental issues. yes, so china is germany's biggest trading partner in many of his biggest companies, for example, volkswagen and the other huge automakers. they are very heavily exposed to the chinese economy and actually schultz is brought along a delegation of top company bosses of from

s. party in congress. and we also have pete aguilar who is a member of the hispanic house cock as he is now. the new caucus chair. so all of this is a moment that had long been anticipated. pelosi said she would be stepping down from her house speakership role in this new term after a democrats very narrowly lost their majority in after this last midterm election. and so this new, these new leaders coming in, we'll have quite the job, cut out for them. come january 3rd when this new congress has sworn and given that they will no longer have the majority though, really be playing defense as their major role against a republican house majority in order to re experts hockey jeffries, to do the job differently to nancy pelosi, someone of course, who's loom large over us politics for so many years. right. and that is something that we will find out. certainly. pelosi had such a strong following. of course, there were some descent from progressives among democrats, but in the end, she was always able to hold all

the 1st black person to lead a major political party in congress. we can ah, i'm debug it. this is al jazeera life in london, also coming up another religious school targeted in northern afghanistan. at least 15 people have been killed. most of them students. the breakthrough drug shown to slow the progression of cognitive decline and outside was patients. and that the world cup argentina has come back is complete. they finished top of that group quite ah, welcome to the program hakim jeffries has been elected as the new democratic leader of the us house of representatives. he's the 1st black person to hold the role. jeffries will take over from nancy pelosi, who serve for 19 years. he takes on the leadership at a critical time for the democrats who lost their house majority in mid term elections of 52 years old jeffries is relatively young, 6 years younger than the average age of those sitting in the us house of representatives. he's been in the house since to 2013 and has chair the house democratic caucus since 2019. jeffers had a significant role in the 1st impeachment o

reminded viewers what happened at the national party congress at the end of october and he is? in late october the china communist party held its 20th party congress. they hold these meetings every five years to reappoint our select leaders xi jinping got a third term in power. previous leaders before him his predecessor they served two terms and then retired. he did not, he stayed on. then overturn the table in the process of that in that meeting and then others came over and it ways not voluntarily leaving. was slapping him in the face is not planned that way but read that way. >> have we seen him since? >> i do not know if we have seen him. we have seen flowers that he donated to a funeral of someone else who passed away. i do not think he has disappeared. he is already retired, elderly, no threat to xi jinping. my sense is he was confused on that stage. and they ended that very uncomfortably escorting him away. but the way we read it given xi' jinping's total grip on power as it looks much more like a power play. >> a couple minutes left in the. program. csis.org. marianne

show is the 1st european leader to visit china after the latest party congress of the chinese communist party, where she's in pain, began his 3rd term, unprecedentedly the chinese on top leda. and also for all of shows is also his 1st visit's china after he took office. so if we quote him, his words that he thinks that this visit will enhance the mutual understanding and trust and deepen product called corporation in various fields. and in china, many experts also look at that shows the visit as a business trip. the he brings oldest business giants along with him. so in this trip, also people expect the 2 sides will talk about concrete and trait fans or even market access for a lot of them german business. so for china is also important because we know china's economy is looming, under its own. they will call the policy, so it also needs germany to come to china to talk about more practical economic corporation, us their leverage for their political interests in europe. ok, so there's a positive tone right at the start of this meeting. is there any sign though, of the ice thawing betwee

as you said, xi jinping was holding a hard line on covid up until the party congress now we have come out of the party congress, it looks like he feels comfortable with his position politically to start playing at the margins of opening up on covid. i think this is fairly early days there's a huge problem that china faces going forward which is they have to switch from a testing mentality to a vaccination mentality. remember that about 87% of the population is vaccinated, but 51 i 51% of those over 80 which are likely to die from covid the ones testing and paying for this are running huge deficits to go to the next step to start vaccinating would be difficult particularly a sense of the testing going on in local governments were ways to prove to the leadership that they could get promoted by march. once that march date with the national people's congress happens, that will go away >> it is the thought i had you did see how the travel related stocks here see a boost. that comes from the fact there could be more travel happening in and around the economy as well does that push the econo

and at that party congress xi jinping installed himself for another decade. he also elevated the idea of a struggle. this is a stalinist idea that china has to constantly identify and isolate its enemies and mobilize the communist party almost 100 million members of the communist party against those enemies. he's not written that into the communist party charter as a guiding principle. and has demoted but we all had grown up and seen as the guiding principle which was reform and opening. we have seen xi jinping effectively turn the page on reform and opening it move toward this period of struggle as he puts it. so xi jinping was really hiding in plain sight all along. it is just that his speeches were often ignored because most important speeches that xi jinping gave were not the ones he gave it davos or when he was standing next to the president of the united states and the rose garden. the speeches that he would give to his own central committee. they're usually not translated into english. sometimes they're kept secrets for weeks, months, or years after he

china's leader responded to the export ban in his speech at the chinese communist party congress by promisingthat he will act to make china independent in the production of semiconductors and other technologies from the us were concerned about china's achievements in the field of micro. for artificial intelligence use as a weapon, so they intervened. this is the biggest move by the us against china in years. this is more serious than anything the trump administration has done, the consequences of this strike just before the chinese communist party congress should be very serious. i think that china will find a way to respond by banning its chinese technology. the us decided to replace imports in taiwanese microprocessors within 2 years, investing about 250 billion dollars in their development. well case, as they say in the process today, 90% of the most advanced microchip can only be produced in the island of taiwan. so even though we spend a lot of money to stimulate the production of microchips to build production. here. we will have to rely on taiwanese capacity for some time to produce ou

they advanced that goal, to party congress is ago, one party congress ago and what they had said is they want to be equal to or superior militarily. they are working on that. we are working on it. right now the united states military is without question despite the criticism, the multiple lethal war fighting machine on earth bar none. we intend to stay number one. we have a single purpose. we are laser focused on that. we intend to stay number one. china is not going to be a better military than the united states military is. five years from now, 10 years from now on 50 years from now. they have a wide variety of areas in cyber and space and land and sea and air. a peasant army largely infantry based, when i was commissioned in 1980, that is kind of what he had when he made his reforms. he had a very large dismounted infantry, peasant -based army more or less. and then they got rich. they made a massive amount of money with a 10% rise over run a drop-down 10%. the gep allowed them to buy military. they believe that it is their day in the sun. it is once again time for the middle kingdom

though for the party to accomplish, given that jeffries would not become house speaker, of course, because the democrats will no longer control the house come january 3rd, when the new congress is sworn in, given that republicans won a new slim majority in the last mid term elections. so jeffries will be leading the minority party in the house, and the very definition of that leadership role is really one of defense. and republicans that will be taking over have already pledged investigations into president joe biden into his son, hunter, bided, and into administrative members. of the biden administration. jeffries has said that he would have hose any far right extremist measures, but that he has an open mind to otherwise try to collaborate with republicans. but that's the same lie we hear. every time there's a transition in congress. and reality is, democrats will have a tough challenge and have them go to 19 years of pelosi leadership. this is a significant transition for the democrats. should we expect a change in political direction for them? do you think? well this has been described as a transition that is not a revolution, but rather an evolution. and there is no extr

interests that was universally by everyone and the indian establish movement, whether it was the congress party, the opposition of having said that, whenever you have a country that's emerging i think that you you would find that the personalities of the leadership usually has a pretty signifier and a play, you know, plays a pretty significant role and has its stamp on that country whether i don't want to speak for russia we the russian expert here. but you know, if you look at lenin and stalin, they had a pretty significant impact on their country. same with nehru and, india and and you can look at sukarno in indonesia you know you can go down list of newly independent countries, etc.. so i think that yes, i think in newly emerging countries, i leadership and personal do play a fairly prominent role. nehru had a vision for india and india was a very poor and fairly illiterate country at the time. so he he did have a strong role and they did have prickly relations. so you referred to that. and that was because of the the push in this country at the time, especially under truman, dulles, etc. .

points for veterans on the campaign trail and among the advocates pushing for veterans and congress is the partyabels should not matter as much. they have worked on a mission. they can sort of put their heads down and get the work done. we have seen that anecdotally but we have seen some of the polarization of congress play in there too. quite a few republicans ran this year where folks who questioned the election results of 2020. 55% of the veterans he ran said they voted against certification of the election or had public statement on the campaign trail questioning biden's legitimacy. it does not isolate you from those political whims but the hope is there is common ground on military issues, veterans issues and the unity of american issues. they can work together when they get to congress to find some sort of joint answer or common ground. guest: what are pressing issues congress needs to deal with when they come back to finish out this term and the new congress, the 118th congress? guest: the defense budget, the veterans budget in the rest of the federal budget. that will be a fun fight if t

so advanced that goal in two party congress, one party congress ago, and what they have said is that they want to be equal to or superior militarily to the united states. that's only five years away. so they are working on that and working on that very, very hard. but we are not static and we are working on it. right now the united states military is without question despite whatever criticisms people have, the united states military is the most lethal war fighting machine on earth bar none. the united states military is number one, and we intend to stay number one, and our task, militaries only have two tasks. single purpose, really. which is either to prepare for war or to fight a war and we are laser focused on that and we intend to stay number one. china is not going to be a better military than the united states military is, but they are going to try, but they are not going to get there. we will be number one five years from now, ten years there now, and 50 years from now. they have made gains in cyber and space and land, sea and air, peasant army of largely infantry-based. when

the bottom line is if the republican party and congress allows money to be sent to this thug and a muscle t, why is it worth voting republican ever again? sending him money in the middle of our recession to fix his border while our border is completely open how does that work and can't how can anybody who claims to care about the united states be in favor of it? they announced more military help for the ukraine is on the way. we thought it would be interesting to know what candac owens thinks. candace, great to see you. this seems like a pretty clear test if you just got elected is a republican in europe or america or america first or whatever their claiming. why would it be hard to make a clear decision on this? >> i don't know, because their interest are not aligned with the american people and they don't care what happens to the american people. it pays to have a backbone, early on when you and i were touting talking this about ukraine any person that didn't just immediately throw up and ukrainian flag was called a russian puppet, asking very simple questions everybody should ask. isn'

he will be the 1st black person to lead a major party in congress. a religious school comes under attack in northern afghanistan, at least 15 people have been killed. china's former leaders, young men who lead the communist party after the tenement square crackdown, has died at the age of $96.00. a researcher's hail of breakthrough in the treatment of the early stages of alzheimer's. and at the world cup, it is delight for australia as they secure a place in the knockout stages with a victory over denmark. ah, so democrats in the us house of representatives have elected, had king jeffrey's as their new leader. he will be the 1st black person to had a major party in congress. jeffries will take over from nancy pelosi, who served for 19 years. his leadership comes at a critical time as the democrats lost their house majority during the mid term elections. id show, castro joins me now live from capitol hill. i mean, if i came, jeffries has anywhere near the longevity and the power that nancy pelosi did. he will become a household name for viewers. so ple

host: remind viewers what happened at the national party congress at the end of october and to zhintou is. guest: in late october the communist party held its 20th party congress. they hold these meetings every five years. what was different about this one is xi jinping got a third term in power. previous leaders before him, his predecessor, they served host: terms and then retired. he did not. the rest of the politburo standing committee for all of his allies. he ran the table, and then he overturned the tables by upsetting these norms about how long you should stay in power and how leaders are selected. in the process of that, the predecessor who was sitting almost right next to him on the stage towards the end of this one-week conclave was upset about something, and others came over and escorted him away in a way that looked like he was not voluntarily leaving. that was read at xi jinping may be slapping him in the face and showing him things have fundamentally changed. it was probably not planned that way but it was certainly read that way by the rest of the world. host: have we se

, in october, there was a lot of speculation, before the party congress, that xi jingping might ease the zero covid policy that already was producing intense public anger before the party congress began. there were banners draped from a bridge in beijing with slogans critical of the government, again almost unheard of. so there was a sign that there was trouble brewing. i think about pressure cooker. it's like what is happening, people feel they can't breathe and move, and finally the pressure cooker, is blue, and we are seeing the effects of that, and people out on the streets the last few days making slogans that you never would have imagined. xi jingping, stand down. communist party, stand down. i thought i would never hear that in my life. but we're in that moment. it just shows that totalitarian societies are so vulnerable. they emphasize control so totally, that the minute it slips away, pow, there's a, suddenly an enormous unleashing of energy that's been captive. >> there are 1.4 billion people in china. billion with a b. there's way more people in that country than there are

re-elected for an unprecedented third presidential term. by the voices of communist party officials at the 20th congressthe people's republic of china, the current chinese protests about which the state mass media are silent china's and state-controlled social media are the largest since 1989 when students came to tianmen square in beijing demanding more freedoms and democracy then those protests were harshly suppressed by the communist party in the chinese foreign ministry already commented on these protests listen maybe china is a country where there is rule of law and various legal rights and freedoms that chinese citizens have are fully guaranteed by law at the same time all at the same time all rights and freedoms must be exercised within the framework of the law what else does this mean protests in china, what they can lead to, let's talk further with us on the link alina hrytsenko , chief consultant of the national institute of strategic studies, good evening, good evening, indeed, the protests that are currently ongoing, as we have already noted, are the largest since 1989 on the animation squar

critics failed to know is this outburst occurred in 1942, after churchill was told that indians congress party had announced it would offer only passive resistance to an expected japanese invasion. the fact is churchill could be a scathing about white europeans, friend or foe. he called germany beastly language. there's that word again. he was well known as saying the hutton is always that your throat or at your feet. as for the french, although he loved the country -- he visited france more than any other nation he was not immune from the common british habit of referring to the french as frogs once claiming the frogs are getting all they can for nothing. we are getting nothing for all we can. not to be outdone, charles de gaulle called churchill, that old band it. the point is, churchill was proud to be british. more specifically to be english. he could not understand why anyone would want to be anything else. more than that, churchill reflected a world in which he was born. leo amerie, a contemporary and sometime friend sometime fro. the key to winston's to realize that he was mid victorian

republican side, congress did eventually pass that bill and that is the only l on nancy pelosi's scoreboard. the only one. today pelosi announced she is stepping aside as leader of the democratic party in congress. she is likely to be succeeded by another historic first. democrats have begun to coalesce around new york congressman hakeem jeffries to be their next leader in the house. should congressman jeffries succeed, he'll be the first ever african american to lead a major party in congress. he will have big shoes to fill. not only are there pelosi's legislative accomplishmentes as speaker, for the past four years, nancy pelosi is at the helm of the movement to counter donald trump, to act as a check on the influence and the party and the authoritarianism he injected into american politics. this is not a congress person who took on this mantle reluctantly. she was all in. remember, this photo between the white house and congressional leaders during trump's first impeachment or the golf clap during the state of the union or when she upped the amped the ante by ripping up the speech. but these moments were just photo ops and click basement yes, they were those things too. they repr

trump administration has done, the consequences of this strike just before the chinese communist party congress serious. i think china will find a way to respond ban its china technology the us decided within two years to replace imports in taiwanese microprocessors by investing about $250 billion in their development. well , the thing is, as they say in the process today, 90% of the most advanced microchips can only be produced in the island of taiwan. so even though we spend a lot of money to stimulate the production of microchips, build production. here. we will have to rely on taiwanese capacity for some time to produce our most advanced chips. the question of geopolitics becomes a question of microelectronics resources, the main source of which became the island of taiwan and the states and china let it be different, but everyone considers it closer to himself. the taiwan issue is at the core of china's interests, the one china principle is the cornerstone of the political foundation of sino-us relations, and the three joint sino-us communiqués are the most important barriers to our relati

younger and more diverse, 52 year old had came, jeffries will be the 1st black american to lead a party in congress house. democrats fight for the people. that's our story. that's our legacy. that's our values. that's our commitment. as we move forward, get stuff done. katherine clark will be his number 2 as whip we as a team and as a caucus reflect the diversity in the strength of the american people. and that is where we are able to come together around shared values. and pete argue are a member of the hispanic caucus will be number 3 as house caucus chair, the trio essential marks, a generational change in the democrats house leadership. replacing 3 octogenarians, led by nancy pelosi, who was leader for nearly 2 decades. the older trio announced they'd resign from their current leadership roles. after democrats lost control of the house in the last election. we'll never see someone like speaker pelosi ever again in our life time. but her potential successor will be history making in its own right. jefferies will become house minority leader when the newly elected congress convenes in january, hi

so, they advanced that goal, two party congresses ago, one party congress ago. and what they have said is that they want to be equal to or spear militarily to the united states. that's only five years away. so, they're working on that, and they're working on that very, very hard. but we are not static. and we are working on it. right now, the united states military is, without question, despite whatever criticisms people have, the united states military is the most lethal war-fighting machine on earth, bar none. the united states military is number one, and we intend to stay number one. and our task -- militaries only have two tasks. single purpose really, which is either to prepare for war or to fight a war. and we are laser focused on that. and we intend to stay number one. china is not going to be a better military than the united states military is, but they're going to try. but they're not going to get there. we will be number one five years from now, ten years from now, and 50 years from now. we are not going to let china take number one. they have made ga
