and especially considering latvia, lithuania, estonia and poland right on the front lines as we try to contain russian power. but i think the nato countries led by a great secretary general generalize stulten berg also understand. the chinese are actively trying to separate countries in eastern europe and the european union from nato. and if you think about chinese military activities and think about the interests of germany, 06 france, italy, any of the nato countries. they have got to be concerned about what's happening in xinjiang province, hong kong, the threats against taiwan and the economic practices of china. my last point would be if we can coalesce with the european union, the united states and japan son some of the the economic issues we're well more than 60% of gdp. it is real leverage. so europe has to be part of this strategy. and i credit 1. she pushed this issue and she was right to do that. >> and do you think china has become concerned anlt nato's increasing interest in what china is doing in europe? or are they ignoring that. >> i don't think they are ignoring it, se

taiwanese government held talks yesterday -- or today, i should say -- with latvia, lithuania, and estonias. with a harsh warning of its own. take a listen to this. interpreter >> interpreter: we advisedthem , otherwise they will get burned and reap what they sell. >> china has said this is a measure to protect this country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. a completely different perspective from taiwan who has called this gray zone "warfare," saying this is only wearing out an exhausting its own military. sandra? >> sandra: alex hogan reporting live from london. thank you. >> john: sandra, jury selection began today in the jussie smollett trial, from the hit tv show "empire," who infamously reported that he was beat up in a racist attack on the streets of chicago more than two years ago. >> sandra: however, chicago police have alleged that smollett lied about that incident and in fact hired the perpetrators to attack him. david lee miller is live in our newsroom with a story that many of us followed for quite some time. >> sandra, as you enter the courthouse today, actor jussie smo

and organization and especially concerning latvia, lithuania, estonia, and poland, right up on the front lines as we try to contain russian power. but i think the nato countries, led by a great secretary general, jen stoltenberg, also understand china is -- the belt and road initiative is now in 16 countries in eastern europe. the chinese are actively trying to separate countries in eastern europe from the european union and nato. if you think about chinese energy activities and military activities in the eastern mediterranean sea which is part of the nato littoral geography, and think about the interests of germany, of france, italy, any of the nato countries, they've got to be concerned about what's happening in the threats against taiwan, in hong kong, and the economic practices of china. my last point would be, if we can coalesce with the european union, the united states, and japan on some of the economic issues, we're well more than 60% of the way. i credit the secretary general, i credit ambassador kay bailey hutchison who was our great american ambassador under president trump, s
