home appliances clothes and pharmaceuticals it's seen as a boost for global brands wanting greater access to china's booming consumer market and a boost for china's consumers who were promised by president xi jinping last october's party congress should be given greater spending power oh absolutely this is consistent away the national strategy that improving the quality of a life now is a priority i had. had of the trade war but with the threat of a trade war with the united states china has just released a white paper claiming its fulfilling its commitments as a member of the world trade organization or w t o which regulates international trade. that china will continue to seek to improve multilateral trade reduce keep pace with the times the reforms the multilateral trading system with other members of the w t o u. taken together with the tariff cuts it seems to be sending a message that despite u.s. claims of unfair trade practices china is playing by the rules the tariff cuts also serve a wide distributed you could object of putting pressure on local producers of low tech goods such as clothing

they're going to get to you along that policy for sure do you think china's interest in africa are purely economic or is this also about greater geo political influence. china especially and that this president has a view who will win cooperation that countries can work together for the common and if it of mankind that they will benefit from economic cooperation the african countries certainly will there's been no infrastructure built in africa really since the colonial period the west we see you united states refute europe is refuse so china billion its infrastructure if you see the kenya nigeria be in other places this is a real positive step for the development of africa and i think the chinese want to help africa they will make money of course the africans will prove their economies and that people standard of living will improve and hopefully we will eliminate a power pretty in africa the way we have in china and many western countries are wary of investing in africa due to what instability security etc china doesn't seem to have been put off by any of those concerns particularly in recent times why is that the case. chin

this morning in that the amount of dollars that the new tariffs will cover in the trade with china are greaterhan the amount of dollars that china trades with us on the reverse. so for them to retaliate, there's not enough dollars around so that means if they want to fully retaliate, they have to do something else does that mean something with u.s. treasury bonds? does that mean some other item that we interact with them on? that's another reason that the market's cautious here. >> given in the near-term, which is more consequential? what the president does in his interactions with europe around nato, around trade, or the more detail we get around this china tariff situation >> i think the china thing is the bigger thing it's involved in multiple things it has to do with the korean negotiations that's going to be involved. china's got some issues on both sides. you know, it would like to see north korea cooperate. but it doesn't want it to turn suddenly into south korea. they don't want all that much instant prosperity on their border, so they've got to worry about that so this is -- this is n

that is very tricky so let's join the dots here and drea what concrete steps is china taking to open itself up to greater forward ties it's announced plenty of reforms before but foreign businesses have still felt shutout. exactly i think leaving all around about china is inability to open up in a lot of this comes to just being empty promises but it seems that with whatever is going on in the trade a sphere is forcing china to open up and keep its promise after all and we're already seeing some of these efforts in the blue chip share market and it looks like china may deliver on this renewed pledge particularly with the e.u. but that does not however mean that china and the e.u. are going to form a coalition or partnership of sorts against the u.s. with the treat war happening between or three of them so we have to see whether the words translate into actions andrea hang in singapore and last how to in frankfurt thank you very much for that. another car maker says it's cheated on emissions tests shares in down nearly five percent after the carmaker admitted it had manipulated data on exhaust emissions a

china. the 200 billion is greater than the trade with china so the likelihood is china is going to look at otherroaches for having a reciprocal impact, including limiting access to the market or limiting access to the kinds of minerals that you just mentioned. >> ellie, so is there a plan b that is being developed among the startups that you talked to, whether it's supply chain-related when it comes to china or whether it is other markets, emerging markets that they're looking to get to? are those sorts of strategies starting to emerge >> yes, they are but i would say that has preceded -- the strategies were already being developed. that's partially because costs in china are rising, actually. so it's not necessarily always the cheapest place to manufacture. and having multiple sources and multiple countries, especially in this macro environment is generally an intelligent thing to be exploring, if not necessarily already shifting some of that manufacturer or some of that development that has been in the works for a lot of these businesses. but you'll see it accelerate if this is obviously going

who want to see a degree of reconciliation with russia on the grounds of you know perhaps china poses a greater geo strategic set threat and some ways perhaps the united states needs or wants to offload some responsibilities around the world and who's actually capable of picking them up those people have a hard time interfacing with the president on doing this to joe you wrote the other day. that this summit was a success yeah. oh i laid out a set of issues before the summit that i said they needed to discuss in their meeting in order for the summit to be a success and they had all of them do you know they discussed because putin came out and said they discussed it trump came out and said they discussed it they had no reason to lie about what they discussed they might present or how do you don't know the results of those discussions we know some of the early results and you're absolutely correct that the real test of anything they talked about will be what the actions are down the line but they talked about syria and iran israel and syria they talked about denuclearization in north korea and pu

still issues that china has to come to terms with regarding its approach to human rights that something that the german government takes a pride in in in promoting more human rights greater human rights in china so perhaps that is one area of dislike but clearly on many serious policies now these countries really do see eye to eye all right donna cane giving us the update from berlin thank you two journalists have been ordered to stand trial in myanmar accused of breaking the country's colonial era secrecy law here out so and wallowing. who works for the reuters news agency were arrested in december while investigating the killing of a muslim or a hinge or face pleaded not guilty and say police planted evidence on them. why did we have whistle blew on human rights violations and corruption in russia and state by following journalism ethics because of that we face trial where maybe only when the police act unjustly we have to investigate it that's why we can say we've acted according to journalism ethics florence louie has more from kuala lumpur. the two reuters journalists have been charged under the official secrets act which carries a maximum penalty of fourteen years

and china that also is going to reduce global trade growth and lead to greater challenges from the global economy and for consumers and started talking about china and the u.s. specifically we're talking about two nations which have very considerable resources at their disposal is there any in the sense of on either side to find a solution to this quickly. but i think the challenge here is that even if they had an incentive to find a solution it's not clear how they get there because there are no negotiations planned between the two sides there's no pathway as far as i can tell to get to a solution and so even if one of the two parties said ok i get in today today's the day or die and let's finish let's wrap this up how do they get there how do they actually conclude these negotiations today it's not obvious what that would look like and so i think the real challenge to me of this this conflict between the u.s. and china is that there's no obvious solution to the problem and as an added challenge it's not just the u.s. and china that's at risk because so much of the globe is connected tog

trade problems we face correctly cited by the administration are problems with china's behavior, and we need allies, we need greater support instead of getting into these fights with europeans and our other allies over products like steel and autos. we should be focusing on how to address the china challenge. liz: ambassador holliday, the question becomes that point. are we stronger together against china or stronger apart? the conventional wisdom would be we're stronger together, and yet china continued to batter our intellectual property, and now we have the $200 billions in tariffs, does it send a message or do you anticipate that we might see some type of bending on behalf of china? >> well, i think we are stronger together. i do not think that having somebody else like china write the rules of the trade regime for the world are in our interest. that said, you're right, they haven't been effective. i don't know that this will change china's behavior in the short term because it's all about saving face and being strong in terms of not giving anything. i think they'll reciprocate, up to a point. i think they've g
