host: senior fellow at the hudson institute, explain for us your take on where we are right now.uld like to clarify that the jcpoa, i would change out the word limited and replace it with paused. jcpoa paused these things, it did not limit or end it. that means if iran complied with jcpoa, iran has been cheating on the iran deal. declared sites and undeclared sites, the undeclared sites are carved out of jcpoa and iran limits inspections of declared sites and undeclared sites. they delay, they deny, they obfuscate, and each time the ie a -- i aei has visited these sites that are in clear violation of the nuclear number 11 treaty -- nuclear nonproliferation treaty -- when it comes to terrorism and missiles, we expect or hope that they comply in the shadows of jcpoa and we just do not have any visibility. section t of jcpoa is where iran is able to develop the trigger systems and the actual delivery systems using our computer models. that is in violation of jcpoa. we can't verify whether or not they are actually doing that. we do not have access. the regime is still in the jcpoa, e

david asher is from the hudson institute. you were the investigator on this.. you said this was highly likely a leak from a bio weapons program in china. why? >> at least it's a leak. we declassified information january 15 that they were sensitive military programs going on at the wuhan institute of virology and other institutes in wuhan. they were funded by the chinese military. programs not associated with bio defense. the chinese declared they bio defense programs at the biological weapons convention in geneva. they didn't declare the coronavirus as a priority area for research in the wuhan institute was declared as a civilian institute. that sounds suspicious to me. doesn't it to you? >> martha: yeah, it does. we know that they were doing gain of function research, which is a way to make a virus more deadly, a way to make a virus easier to transmit from human to human and even redfield, the former cdc doctor said he doesn't think that this is likely anything that came from an animal. it learned how to replicate way too fast. can you explain that? >> well,

rebecca heinrich, hudson institute. what do you make of this, rebecca?neil, the biden administration is making it clear who is responsible for interfering with the american election, at least one of the countries, and also part of the executive order mentioned the massive cyber espionage act solar winds, that the united states endured, one of the largest cyber espionage attacks ever, that the russian federation pulled off. they're being sanctioned for that. that is a good start. much more will have to come because it is difficult to have proportional sanctions when there are massive attacks against the united states. it is not really tangible. it's a cyberattack but it's a good start, neil. neil: i'm wondering what it leads to? the two, vladmir putin, joe biden kicked around the idea of a summit. would the russians still go to that? >> i don't know. i don't know if that is really worth it at this point. i don't put a whole lot of stock into the president's, with all due respect into his savvy, deal-making savvy. i think at this point what needs to happen

let's bring in doctor michael pillsbury the center for chinese strategy at the hudson institute.r to say that the state of georgia is less repressive and t communist china when you say? >> it's pretty obvious if that's the case. >> why aren't corporations saying that? >> the chinese have gotten increasingly sophisticated in the recent years in pressuring our companies, the chinese know what's at stake we have at least a trillion dollars, some people say 3 trillion of investment in china are american companies do. we are 150 chinese stocks for sale on the nearest stock exchange, . in many cases with waivers of accounting and auditing, the chinese no how to summon ceos, they summoned billionaires, they come to beijing to meet was xi jinping specific pressures are put on them, the companies that play ball and find huge benefit coming their way, companies that don't get punished, as the chinese do this they make a mockery of our national security efforts to change chinese misconduct because the chinese know it is all talk or at least they think it is all talk and this is undermining

remember, two and a half years ago vice president mike pence gave a big speech at the hudson instituterategy for a cold war, only with china filling the role of the soviet union meddling in american elections and imprisoning a million of its own muslim citizens and crackingdown on buddhists leading 150 monks to literally set themselves on fire like the old ussr they accused them of using wealth and power to corrupt nations all over the globe through the belt and road initiative but the big flash point is taijuan they claimed to be the legitimate government of china where the nationals set up shop while china never stopped claiming that it owns taijuan. ever since nixon agreed to recognize the people's republic, we've been walking a tight rope protecting autonomy. china wants complete reunification but with taijuan protected by the u.s. military, there is not a lot they can do without causing world war three. the communist party decides to test us and taking that to a whole new level with 25 chinese fighter planes crashing through taijuan's air spice ace the oth day. when biden was swor

joining us right now is hudson institute senior fellow, rebeccah heinrichs.s that he's worried that china may, in fact, invade taiwan sooner rather than later. your thoughts on what the united states' response should be, should that take place? >> good morning, maria thanks for having me on. so right now, as you mentioned, china has been acting much more provocatively around taiwan and senior military leaders have been telling congress now, repeatedly sounding the alarm bell that the invasion could happen in a matter of years, just a few years but we really don't know, and it's critically important because we think that there might be that the chinese might be assessing that there's a perhaps a lack of resolve on the part of the united states for defending taiwan, that we're not militarily prepared to back taiwan, if in fact that happens, and so we really don't have a whole lot of time to disabuse of them of that notion so we have to deploy the right kinds of military equipment, trump pulled out of this treaty called the i nf treaty that prohibited certain ra
