with us, gordon chang, author of "the coming collapse of china." thank you for joining us.s of attention on china right now. you think things are not as bad as the china headlines we see almost every day? you say things on the ground are ok? why do you see things so differently? theyu don't have to think are significantly better than people think right now. in august people thought china would fall off a cliff. people are still thinking about that. people are worried. there is a slowdown underway. you are not about to see the economy falter. joe: why not? >> we see the entire economy. the manufacturing sector is weak . but that's not the entire economy. we have shown for the past two and a half years that the manufacturing sector is not a bellwether of the economy, it's one of several sectors and we are seeing strength elsewhere. alix: where? >> services. alix: what the you think of that, gordon -- do you think of that, gordon? >> of course services are growing, but they are not growing robustly. we look at the q2 earnings of s&p 500 companies. a lot of them look to china a

gordon chang joins us. he is author of north korea takes on the world.ou heard about president park and president obama saying, they could not live with north korea becoming a nuclear state. >> we have really not imposed the cost on the north koreans that we could. and if we did that maybe there would be differences in opinion in pyongyang about its nuclear program. >> you mean they could get kim jong-un to give up the pride of the north korean government? >> it is going to be hard but nonetheless, there are things we have not done. north korea has not been a priority in washington so therefore i don't think we are going to take those steps. but clearly you know for instance north korea sells a lot of ballistic missiles to iran. the one on sunday was basically a north korean missile that the iranians fired. we don't take steps to stop that. >> to allow missile defense systems in south korea, because north korea now has missiles that may be able to reach the united states but south korea is resisting that. so if the relationship's as strong as it ever has

gordon chang is with me now. gordon, glad to have you here. in the case of yum! brands is it really chinese government pushing yum out or owner of kfc, pizza hut, taco bell make its own strategic mistakes there? >> i think two things occurred at the same time. first of all, there was a lot of bad publicity about yum's meat suppliers. think that probably was orchestrated by the chinese central government because it wanted to tar foreign brands. but the other thing that hit yum is its own fault. they have tumbling chinese economy and they misread it, okay, growth rates fall but con some shun occurred. but what they did in pizza hut outlets offer steak. they went up market. at a time chinese consumers wanted to go down market. essentially they are the future of consumption in china. apple and nike and doing well in china, not many of them, but yum is the future of both of those companies. deirdre: future of both of those companies. you see yum as different kind of example than other american companies. i'm thinking more tech or retail with apple being the exception.

with us to debate the question, gordon chang, author of the coming collapse of china and lee lynn millerank you both for joining us you think things are not as bad as the china headlines we see almost every day. you think things are actually ok. why do you see things so differently? >> you'll have to think they are good to think they are individually better than what people think right now. back in august people thought china was going to fall off a cliff. of the sector, the stock market antics over the summer, people are worried. there is a slowdown underway but it is not quite crisis time. >> what do you see that everyone else is not see? >> people are up sussing over the manufacturing pmi. the manufacturing sector is weak. that's not the entire economy. we've shown for the past two and a half years at the manufacturing sector is not -- it's one of several sectors and we are seeing strength elsewhere, services for instance. >> what you say about that? it makes sense in terms of china trying to rebound. what do you see in that kind of data? >> services are growing, but they are not grow

gordon chang, you're a skeptic. why?use when you look at, for instance, electricity production which still is the most reliable indicator of chinese economic activity, up 1.0 in the quarter. but also you have imports last month were down 20.4% in dollar terms. money is coming out of china at the rate of $194.3 billion last month. this is not the sign of an economy growing at 6.9. it's probably the sign of an economy at 2.2 which is what they're talking about in beijing privately, and it could even be less than that. trish: okay. so it's stumbling along, it's barely growing kind of like us, and so they say, all right, central bank planning, might as well use some of this. are they in a situation, steven, where at this point they're pushing on a string so badly that it really ultimately won't have an effect and we'll continue to see weak numbers out of china? >> well, they're certainly pushing on a string. the pboc does have some room, so they can push on that string for a while. the rest of us are pushed up against negati

. >> and joining us now is gordon chang, a contributor to forbes.com, and the upcoming collapse of chinaso gordon, good to see you, and first off, how big a deal is this? >> it's important that china is changing it's policy, but the other thing, it's not changing the coercive nature of population planning. because people if they want a child, they have to get a permit. and if they want a second child, they have to get a permit. so the problem of forced abortions and infanticide, that's going to continue. there are people who will want three or more children, and in terms of the control of the chinese people, there's going to be no change at all. >> do you think that this might cause them to lift the cap completely and allow parents to have as many children as they want? >> that's probably what they should do, but the communist party has ride on population planning to maintain social control. and because the party is insecure, it's unlikely to give up that measure of ability for the chinese people to do what they want. so i'm not very optimistic on that score. even if they go to a three-c

joining us now is gordon chang, author of the coming collapse of china. obviously great to have you on today. the title of your book implies you do not believe or think that 6.9% growth gdp is what we are really seeing in china. >> every quarterly. , -- every quarterly period, it is always exceeding people's expectations. when you look electricity, it was up 1.0%. growth in gdp is about 85% of the growth electricity, we're looking anyone or two present economy, not clearly at this 6.9 that they are talking about. >> 1% or don't -- >> traditionally, growth has been much higher. if you go back to 2010 with a reported 10.4%, it was much greater than the 10.4% they reported. they smooth out the earnings and what they are doing right now is overreporting growth. with is fairly significant china engineering the numbers that they're willing to go to a six handle for gdp. >> it's a psychological barrier that has been broken. it's like when they broke through from a percent to 7%. they are not willing to talk about where they are right now. we saw so many adverse

gordon chang. welcome to the program. this new policy, you can have two children.reduce the level of control that beijing has over average family in china? >> no. people still need the permit for the second child. it will still remain in place. the only thing that is changing is that the general rule has gone from one child to two children. stuart: you are going to get a permit? >> you still have to get a permit for the second child cared you will not be able to get a permit for a baby. clearly, the rules have only changed in one respect. for the first child and second child. they can tell you when to have the child. stuart: move on to this surplus of males. about 30 million. that is related to the one child policy. have i got that right? >> you certainly have got that right. some people say 4 million excess males. some even say 50. the result of a one child policy. before the policy was put in place in 1979, the sex ratio at birth was 106 males. that number is actually in prior years. a terrible, abnormal situation. stuart: how does china as a society cope? what d
