what is a good is not directly related to china but it is not china's faults our income is distributed but the challenge is to see me can manage the same situation to say we welcome support with the tolerance though the poor country without feeling directly threatened the simultaneously recognizing how we disagree strategic issues political values and the rest. there is significant success over 30 years to manage the relationship so world power has not caused more conflict and it has. there is more i can say but for now that is my opening pitch. having a cast of characters who all the things that interesting how it modernizes increases of liberty there are large scale tensions for china and our relations which i hope to shed some light. thank you for listening to this portion. my editor will join me up here. i look forward to your questions.

soybeans are 60% of -- is sold to china. one-third of u.s. cotton is sold to china. china is also an important market for u.s. automobiles and aircraft. china also is in long-term market for u.s. service industry. in this area, the u.s. has done a long time service. at the same time, the chinese want to prepare -- entrepreneurs are interested in making investments in the united states so there are more and more chinese companies coming to the united states and investments. according to chinese statistics, for the last 18 months, the chinese investment in the united states grew by 18-40% -- by 14%. it is up to $6 billion. the investment is still a small figure. it is growing very fast. today, our common interests have expanded and interdependence has been deepened. now, as the impact of the financial crisis still lingers, both china and the united states have committed to transforming their economic growth. their economic growth models by increasing input in some new areas like new energy, high- tech, high end manufacturing, i.t., bioscience, etc. these could translat

is, no. and then you have to look at who you owe that money to. and in china's case, um, i think you have to put a value proposition on who these guys are. um, and this goes back to our original gamble. if we engage them -- i mean, the alternative is another question, but, you know, if we continue to engage them and make them richer and they're not becoming freer, well, let's take apart exactly how bad these people are to see how this policy is working. and i'll just go through a few examples. um, one is -- and this is, i think, when i was promoting this book, i did tons and tons of radio, and one of the things that people hadn't heard of before is how, um, china uses the judicial system, um, to feed the black market for organs for transplants in the whole world. there's a huge demand because medical care has advanced so much. there's this huge demand worldwide for organ for transplant. and the largest provider, actually, is china. and where they get these organs is the whole world combined two years ago executed about 700 prisoners worldwide. i think iran led w

has its own vested interest in seeing the eurozone stick together europe is china'sbiggest export market so there will be support there from beijing to keeping the monetary union together but just expect some kind words they shouldn't be any talk of cash coming forward from china to help the ailing euro zone now there is talk of a special relationship between germany and china not unsettle some people in brussels who feel a little left out and when you look at the figures you can see why some nations would be feeling like they're not getting a slice of the pie trade between the two countries is set to rise to around two hundred and eighty billion dollars by the year twenty fifteen well the reason that the to make such good economic bedfellows at the moment is that germany produces the machinery needed for china's manufacturing industry germany also sees china as a growing market full day or exports since the orders have started drying up from within europe due to the people simply not having the cash to buy german goods within the european union and within the euro z

relationship with china predicated on this big gamble. and the gamble is if we increase our relationship with china, trade with them more, they'll eventually become more like us. and that if we make them richer, automatically they'll become freer. and as people in china become, get more economic rights over time, they'll demand for political rights. that's a gamble on our side. one of the three cease of my -- theses of my book is that's not necessarily occurring. for one thing, there's this myth that there's this new china now where the middle class is growing fantastically, um, and things are getting better, and that's more or less not true. the middle class, they're small or than our middle class, and that's a country of 1.3 billion people. but even more significantly, the middle class there isn't as dynamic as ours because the government picks and chooses winners and losers. so it's not based on individual initiative, um, or, you know, you work hard, pull yourself up by the boot straps, you can do anything you want. the communist party there, um, after

making a joke and i think china is watching germany very closely and china is maybe one of the strongest industrial nation are now in asia so they don't want to be like germany basically paying for everybody else and bankrupting themselves in the process and so i think maybe some time off is that monetary union but i do think that china realizes at some point they have got to let the dollar i mean with all their reserves and dollar and euro which is somewhat of a problem for them they have got to let some of that fall write it off and focus more and more on that the mistake economies and the remnant of the rise of exports more difficult but that will come anyway as the best and countries are relatively low dollar and so they're focused more on the domestic economy and then some sacrifices will be made by yet no common currency so far maybe that's not going to happen ok derek if i go back to you martin brought up something that i'm beginning to hear now that you know maybe a year ago two years ago that the chinese would never write off american debt but now you know they have so many rese

economy that so many other countries have to scuttle on over looking for a handout i think the thing is that china is the only big market that's been booming for a long time through all these conditions and it's a growing market unlike the american or european markets which are very mature markets where if you get three percent growth a year but one that would be very easily reelected in china you have at the moment it's not topped out yet the growth still seems unlimited even though it's certainly not and it's so everything china is about china it's a magic word that somehow gets people out of the predicament they're in but of course in the real world this just isn't the case john holzman the president and co-founder of join see holzman enterprises alive and buck thank you very much for coming on it's a day pleasure as. well spain is reportedly considering whether to oscar for another bailout catalonia known for its proud and independent attitude is now seeking of a five billion euros of rescue cash from madrid spain as prime minister the fact that such a wealthy reaching cannot meet its debt fin

is. germany needs china far more right now than china needs germany. in the meantime europe's fourth largest economy spain is reportedly considering whether to ask for another bailout catalonia known for its proud and independent attitude is now seeking over five billion euros of rescue cash from madrid spain the prime minister admitted the fact that such a wealthy region cannot me its dead financing obligations it's a big problem catalonia accounts for almost a fifth of the country's economic output author miguel entre morocco believes the whole situation could have been avoided. the way in which the spice tax system works it goes this way. it is the central government that's collects all the taxes have to be ninety five percent of them and then pretty stupid them among the different regions. following these so he's ready to pay t.v. as they call it the reach of regions gets less money the poor regions get more money so that's a load which actually gets back very a small amount of the money it keeps to the to the central estate and that is why they hav
