joseph gregory mahoney is a professor of politics and international relations at east china normal university . and he joins us from shanghai that joseph china has strongly condemned the shooting down of the balloon and said that it would take, it might respond. what does that mean is a response or a retaliatory measure expected? and what might it be? you know, i don't think that we're going to see some sort of reciprocal action in terms of military response. and let's be clear, chinese criticism of the balloons dramatic downing centers on the unnecessary and hysteria provoking spectacle. the u. s. has perpetrated over an arid weather balloon to advance americans anti chinese discourse at home and abroad to justify washington spar graber provocations in and around china. not only posed escalating risk to chinese secured in socrates in peril. the region and beyond. and these include just to be clear, directly battling and chinese affairs and she and john to that phone call. and of course, taiwan. they include an unprovoked trade war and aggressive tech. the coupling that aims to triple chinese

and i shall to hold a joseph gregory mahoney, professor of politics at east china normal university claims that nate's as exploit in the conflict. nato is opposed in part because nato is a military organization. one that's led above all by the united states. now the culture of the us military is always oriented towards fighting. there's an institutional aggressiveness that only understands one way forward. and this is doubly true here because nato is exploiting this conflict to expand in ways previously unimagined with soaring budget's prestige and power. but behind all of this is a u. s. g, a strategic game, one that wants to reinforce it's a gemini over europe, knock russia down, and then leverage those gains if realized against china. auntie china, hawks and nato are nothing new. that said, the nato cheap appear sympathetic. it seems to washington's ongoing efforts to expand nato to confront china, given his recent trips to asia. i don't think the e u in an absolute sense is opposed to piece the rhetoric i'm seeing from e u and european national politicians. aside from a for a few, incl

in terms of the east, china — russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov is meeting with wang yi today,n that?— thoughts on that? that was really quite _ thoughts on that? that was really quite interesting, - really quite interesting, especially in light of the view that the new york times had a piece that china's trying to distance... i don't see that all. in fact, distance... i don't see that all. infact, it distance... i don't see that all. in fact, it was interesting that wang yi was travelling around and being in munich and kind of talking to and telling jose borrell that they are not supplying arms to russia —. and in the same day, meeting whenjoe biden is in poland meeting with the russians — he met with sergei naroushkin, one of the most important people in the security apparatus and the clandestine services. so it does seem that the china—russia relationship, at least for now, is certainly going strong. and of course, we know that china has offered and already presented its peace plan. and so it does seem, perhaps, that china is looking to become a peacemaker — which, of course

, he already carried out the demilitarization of the border with china, the infiltration of the chinese into the territory of the far eastlarge. in contrast to our military statutes, tactics are provided for not only offensive and defensive, and also such infiltration , when we combine all this into a single one, we will understand china's policy peaceful expansion the expansion of resettlement, as it was said at the 17th congress of the communist party of china, calmly seize the territory, assimilate these territories, return to china, in this case , will china help russia, will it push putin a little to those steps that are guaranteed to destroy russia? i believe that china will never help critically, we will still pay attention to the topic of china at the end of this study, so let's talk more about the anniversary of the full-scale war and a-a p oleksiy, we have a question for you what kind of resources did we have, the technical ones are meant in order to possibly speed up the victory. do you think that we did our best? maybe our partners did not provide us with something. you have such a question. it is a very posi

china and that it is considered to be internal to this country . forces foreigner professor mohammad reza khaleghi, radio news agency, regional office of east asia, china, akbar abdi at 4 o'clock, the story of non is a beautiful story and it is good to talk about it , but unfortunately, we have always told the story of this tender. don't separate our people from the people, the first phase of the flour and bread subsidy smart plan was implemented in the country. in the meantime, the statements of some government managers about the withdrawal of flour from bakeries caused some of them discomfort, but the officials started with the prison inter, unfortunately, well i started to say about me and you, which means we whenever they prepare rahm tv and the public mind that we will implement this plan, it is up to you, but they had shut down their own activities, but they still receive the flour receiving systems from you . baking was done outside the network, and now he was going to the open sales that took place at the flour field in zanjan. when we came, give me a card , give me a card reader. it is considered a family that mr. bayat is behind you as of tod

the russian government has been turning or shifting the whole russian economy from west to east to china. and as for china's interest in moscow, we see that as senior chinese diplomat has been traveling to russia to talk with like the putin about the arguably most important political issue, the warning ukraine that china caused by the way ukraine crisis though. however, china wants to mediate and show, especially to the united states, to president biden, that it remains a reliable international partner and to reject the accusations back. beijing would support russia with weapons. and i want to ask you to another major story happening today in moscow, and that is the suspension of the new start nuclear treaty between russia and the united states that suspension today approved by both chambers of parliament in russia. what happens next? well, what is clear, brent is that the russians and the americans have lost one of the last opportunities for dialogue. as for the anticipated arms race, experts believe that after the suspension suspending over the treaty, the policies will no longer contr

and china after learning of the balloon secretary of state antony blinken's planned trip to beijing was canceled. widely seen as an opportunity to east the superpowers, a pattern of aggression from the chinese communist party. congressman mike gallagher, chairman of the new select committee to investigate china says the takeaway from this incident should be the brazenness of the chinese government and its willingness to act on american soil. and in our airspace, it shows that this isn't just a matter of territorial disputes in the south china sea or the east china sea. >> it's not just a matter of threats to taiwan's freedom. it's it's a matter of our own national security. it's a here at home problem. the chinese foreign ministry continues to say this balloon was a civilian, whether aircraft. >> despite near universal rejection of that claim by the pentagon and american officials. >> and that was joe khalil reporting for us this morning. on friday, the pentagon acknowledged reports of a second flying balloon that was drifting across latin america. >> it's official a measure qualifies for the 2024 ballot to give you the voters. the f

and of course the activity in the south and east china sea and around taiwan, i mean, the cross center line worked. the activities in the pla navy, i can't get into great detail what's happening on the ground, but i can tell you at that the pla army and the pla rocket forces and strategic support forces are in dangerous position. so they're rehearsing. they're exercising, they're experimenting and that kind of -- and then of course, i'll just use two examples, the post speaker pelosi conduct and then this recent balloon over the top of the united states in our sovereign territory, both very irresponsible and aggressive behavior and the region sees that and they don't like what they see. and i think that's why you're getting reactions from countries out of south korea, japan, philippines and a number of others. that's a little of the state of play in the region. >> and so if i could ask a question. i was struck by something you said, secretary, about limbering up force,and equipment on the korean peninsula for other missions and that strikes me as a real advance, given how the spoke and

it's not widely seen as a neutral arbiter. china has a number of joint infrastructure projects with russia. most chinese investment in the resource rich far east region rest in sanctions mean, china is imports of russian oil. natural gas and goods have become more lucrative in south africa, russia and china are taking part in a 3 nation military exercise corporation like that is a cause for concern for the need to a military alliance back in ukraine. but being has rejected warning to refrain from providing lisa military aid and accused us of fueling the war by sending weapons to key as best and sanctions continue to pile on russia. it's looking east bit china as its largest trading partner, president blood, to me put an expect bilateral trade to balloon over $200000000000.00. and the board in ukraine goes on. russia is poised to build new alliances and forge old ones, so that it can avoid international isolation. some, a majority of era. moscow, the secretary general has again denounced russia's invasion of ukraine. the head of the 1st anniversary of the conflict intended to terror said russia has violated the un charter and international law.
