jillian: we had gordon chang on earlier to watch the ceremony, a very moving tribute to the fact thatstill have just nearly 7700 american servicemembers unaccounted for from the korean war, what else does the united states need to do to further this? >> secretary of defense mattis said this might be the beginning for the united states to have a joint team to go into north korea but for the remains of more of america's precious war dead. it could be the beginning. we have these remains checked and verified because the north koreans have a history of not sending back the remains they are sending back but certainly it is precious to the united states and individual families and is a big deal. one of those things the north koreans can do things like this and not get to the heart of the manner which is dismantling the nuclear program. that is the number one priority for the united states. todd: the repatriation ceremony for the next 45 minutes, i want to get to the missiles. on its surface this missile revelation is concerning. i get the impression from your previous history that this is a

gordon changed his hearing. dystopian that a government could -- >> the government wants to control them and so they are collecting data. they are collecting data from 600 million cameras that they will have in place and in 2020, they will have traffic checks and all the rest of it. it's being rolled out and rolled out very quickly so for instance you have people that are not allowed to board planes and trains because their social credit atomic score is far too low. >> and this seems like a glaring human and civil rights violation. why do we never hear anything about it from the self-appointed moral watchdogs at the top of society? >> if that's a question, and we have china putting people into internment camps in northwestern china. 1 million people, this is a crime against humanity and we don't hear about that either. so we know the chinese government is tracking chinese in the united states, and this will get worse and worse until the u.s. government pushes back. >> tucker: what about the tech companies, our t

for right now we bring in gordon chang, the expert we always have on for all matters north korean.from a human perspective? >> this is who we are. the united states since the end of the vietnam war has spent so much time on prisoners of war missing in action. the attorney general today, who commands us forces korea, was introduced as commander of the un command because we don't know whether all of these are americans. many people suspect there are some french, british, australian as well. it is very important that we do this. this comes at a critical time in our relations with south korea. south korea has a president who is anti-american and south koreans must remember the sacrifice not only of americans but others in the un command who came to the rescue of south korea in 1950. you have a south korean president was more prone north korea than anything else. i don't know this very much we can do about him but for the rest of the south korean electorate it is a struggle for hearts and minds and this is important. jillian: you referenced something commander brooks said, this brings t

let's talk about that with gordon chang an expert on asia and north korea columnist. for the phone through nuclear showdown north korea takes on the world he joins me from new york our what's your read gordon on the reports that north korea is building new ballistic missiles the young yang. that washington post report from the beginning of this week is certainly correct north korea is building these wasan fifteen's that was the missile that was tested november twenty ninth and it has a range to strike the east coast of the united states the big story here actually there are two stories one of them is that all of these revelations undercut the notion that the trumpet ministration has been propagating that north korea has made a strategic decision to give up its weapons if it's made that decision then it wouldn't be building these missiles and it wouldn't be producing fissile material the other story larry is that you have an intelligence community in the united states which is angry upset and is actually playing a paul revere role where you have senior administration of

they're covering on their economy than we do relatively speaking and i'm told i will if you watch gordon chang who i think is one of the premier experts on the chinese economy and he indicates. that the chinese economy is very fragile and they can only take so much pain for so pure so much period of time we are thriving we got the lowest unemployment the best economy that we've had in fifteen years and i think that if we have to economically we can hold out what you said about the political situation is another story altogether and we'll only know what happens in november. chris in a piece in politico the economist meghan green suggests that donald trump has already hit his high water mark on the economy and will probably sees a significant slowdown in the next couple of years you do that i do agree with that and i think it's simply where we are in this economic cycle right now this recovery is now gone on for eight or nine years going back to two thousand and ten during the obama administration it's just a simple matter of all of where we are as cycles go you also see for instance the g.d.p.

and gordon chang, you don't want to miss it.t trump says he is scrapping the automatic 2.1% pay increase for federal employees next year, declaring it as an emergency, an unsustainable budget increase. the letter reads in part, quote, we must maintain efforts to put our nation on a fiscally sustainable course and federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases. congress does hold the power to overrule this decision. joining me now is the congressman from kansas, roger marshall, a member of the house small business committee. congressman, good to see you. what do you make of this and do you think this is the right move by the president in terms of these federal civilian employee raises? >> absolutely, i think this president is doing what every businessman would do when he comes in and takes over a business that's distressed. you try to decrease your outflow of money and right now we have more outflow than inflow. until this economy catches up and it's doing incredible, the gdp is growing, more jobs are being created, wages a

it's one thing for gordon chang to say something like that but it's another for a senior government officialo say it. if you look at the debt accumulation in china, some people are talking about eight a -- about eight debt to gdp ratio, china can it through because it controls all the players. the problem is there are so many of problems occurring at the same time including 100,000 people losing money in those peer-to-peer lending platforms. believe: it's hard it xi jinping doesn't come up with something they can do to head this off. who should we be waiting to hear from? so behind the scenes could be key to preventing a fall over the cliff? gordon: it's only xi jinping right now. he is the one who has been calling the tune. the thing i am worried about about going off the cliff is not just economics but china lashing out. we hear a lot more about taiwan. we hear a lot more about geopolitical issues. i'm not saying xi jinping is going to try to divert people's attention because of that, but nonetheless you see a little bit on these two tracks, the economy and geopolitics. they're going and d

gordon chang, the author of, "the coming collapse of china."ays good to see you here in new york, gordon. the president is talking about this to marco rubio, john cornyn and others in the white house. any sign we make progress on this, the inchoo niece will change their ways? >> this is very difficult. intellectual property theft is at the core of the chinese system. it is more than that just that. you have a lot of stealing, cheating, lying baked into chinese society, has been for centuries. we'll try to change this of course, and we actually have to because innovation is at the core of our economy. if we don't commercialize innovation we don't have much of an economy. connell: for years american companies are going in there, let's be honest, they have a billion people, 1.6 billion people in china, that is a lot of business opportunity. they made the tradeoff, because they have to. they have kind of known this is going on, had no other options. i wonder how we do change it. is tariffs the answer in your view? >> if we don't have tariffs, the q

gordon chang is author of the coming collapse of china that he joins us tonight.ing on. this is such a dystopian vision that a government could exert this level of social control over a population that is large. it's hard to believe this could happen. is this actually going to happen? >> it certainly is happening right now. what we have in china is that there so many people there the government wants to control them so what they are doing is they are collecting data. they are collecting data from 600 million cameras that they will have in place in 2020. they are going to have traffic checks, all the rest of it. this is being rolled out and it's being rolled out very quickly. so for instance you've got people who are not allowed to board planes and trains because their social credit score is far too low. >> tucker: so this is the kind of thing, since our ruling class pay such close attention to human rights abuses of abroad d we are always paying attention to me and mark, this seems like a glaring civil rights violation, human rights violation. why do we never hear

than it is here, you have to know the politic tuesday understand what they're going to do >> so gordon chang does understand the politics. he's studied it for a long time in china how aggressive do you think president xi is going to get or can stomach getting with the u.s. in this trade war >> over the long-term most economists believe china cannot win with the united states for xi jinping to prevail he's got to basically bluff president trump right now. right now xi jinping is in trouble. there's a lot of dissent in the chinese system you have these essays, people coming out and criticizing the president. and the reason is xi jinping has grabbed control of the economy which means when the economy goes well, it's great. but when it goes poorly, it's bad for him. china is growing at 2% we're glowing at 1 -- >> where do you get that number? >> they claimed 6.9, and that's consistent with total primary energy consumption which showed china grew basically 1.4% in 2016 2017 that number went up a little bit so maybe they're growing at 2.5% but that's really the extent of their growth >> john, you

robert pearson, former ambassador to turkey, and gordon chang, columnist at the daily beast and author of "the coming collapse of china. doug, i want to start broadly and with you you were front and center during the european financial crisis when grease was causing all kinds of trouble we saw selling in european banks today because there is concern about their exposure to the turkish financial system and to turkish loans. should we be worried about a european financial crisis again? >> you know i think that's an exaggerated reaction i think there's a lot of things to worry about in turkey, and kwooi would be much more worried about turkish exposures. what's happened in the last week, two weeks, quite frankly for the last year is not going to inspire confidence. but does it warrant an actual set of risks that is translated into the european financial system writ large? look, i i think they highlighted there are some exposure risks. they're legit. they're not existential to the european banking system. there's no contagion risk emanating from europe. totally different apples and oranges

gordon, bbc news, on the isle of bute. in a few minutes it'll be time for the film review. but first — click. planet earth is changing. humans are affecting its surface, its climate, its inhabitants. watching from ground level makes it difficult to make sense of it all, but these days we do have the data and we can crunch the numbers. and when it comes to understanding the really big issues, those that have effects on a truly global scale, visualising that data can turn millions of figures into something that everyone can understand. maps like these created by carnegie mellon university's ea rthtime website combine nasa satellite imagery with a wide range of datasets to produce visualisations of environmental and geopolitical events from light pollution, to refugee movement, to the effects of coral bleaching on areas such as the great barrier reef. one particular area where modelling such as this can display the starkest impacts is flooding. you can see how important that extremely the research that we looked at in miami is. raise the global temperature byjust two degrees and the sea engulfs the entire area. and this

gordon already in this investigation. he was involved in the attempt to change the platform language of the republican -- at the republicanonvention to make it more pro-russia, more anti-ukraine. that was the same convention, of course, that had paul manafort, had rick gates, where jeff sessions was meeting with sergey kislyak on the side of the convention. it spools some interesting and intriguing avenues that could help us answer some of the fundamental unanswered questions we still have about what transpired in the middle of the trump campaign in 2016. >> so paul manafort's accountant testified today, carrie, and one of them is cindy laporta who got immunity. she said she falsified a $900,000 loan amount so manafort could pay less taxes. is that damning? >> it's very -- it's dramatic. she has been granted immunity so that she would testify and not incriminate herself. she has admitted she knew some of what they were doing was illegal. so i think that testimony probably was very powerful. and the cooperation of the accountants and the bookkeeper, what that does is that provides additional details and context to what i t

also piggybacking on what gordon said, the chinese are looking at what's happening in our own hemisphere. they want to see what we do in our own neighborhood before they change their behavior. i think it's very important to make a deal with mexico. it's unfortunate that canada decided to sit this one out but let's make a deal bilaterally with mexico and see what happens. john: do we have to pick a trade fight with the entire world? seems like that's what we've done. if that's what's necessary, that's what's necessary. but did we have to? >> yeah, we did. friend and foe have been taking advantage of america for too long. we are in the catbird seat now. our economy is doing well and now we have to use all the leverage -- we aren't looking for anything that we are not entitled to. let's make fair deals. there's no better time to do it than now. john: mexico's economic minister, the one you mentioned a second ago, said it's better having a good agreement than a fast agreement. why did we go with mexico first, just because canada backed out, and do you think it's right to renegotiate nafta in two bilateral deals instead of the trilateral deal that was originally
