compare that with the chinese banning tv shows because they make fun of xi jinping.y banned Ãbi can't remember which of the comic characters they decided was like xi jinping so they banned the entire character. when you are so Ãbwe had theodore roosevelt was enormously popular and saved a baby grizzly bear and cub that became known as teddies bear which became a teddy bear when it was made by a brooklyn manufacturer who produced little teddy bears we are cheerful about making fun of ourselves and i think you can tell the rigidity and insecurity of the regime by that kind of behavior. i will also point out if xi jinping was on the middle of having the communist party congress openly investigate him, i don't know what the chairmanship of china would look like but we are a complicated and clumsy and noisy society but on balance that's also how we preserve our freedom. >> i think some of those differences it's very important to be projecting those not only to the chinese people but also opan foreign policy and how the interact around the world. >> let me give you a prima

but now majority of them are xi jinping protege. they are well positioned to carry out the delivery. on this trade front. now what's going on in hong kong are a big challenge. nationalism is on the rise, for example, just to talk about hong kong. i think chinese leader may not be as anxious as many of us here believe because for chinese leadership, why they should be too nervous? yes, it is embarrassment. but now it sounds like they get used to that. because they certainly demonize the protesters, students and blame united states, uk, west behind this kind of protest. no, it's not my view, but that's the most people in china certainly feel that probably there's some evidence for that. and also if there is incompetence, it's not beijing's incompetence, it's the leaders. and then they blame business tycoons. so, the pressure for beijing is very, very low if you look at these kind of things going on. of course, they don't want to see that happening. but it's already happened. think they have the leverage, whether right or wrong. at the

china's president xi jinping backed hong kong leader at a surprise meeting in shanghai she met kerry lamb on the sidelines of a trade event on monday he expressed a high degree of trust in hong kong leader for her government's ability to tackle months of anti-government protests are just in hong kong began in june over a plan to allow extraditions to mainland china to train e.u. as more from beijing. carolan met the xi jinping on the sidelines of a big international trade expo that's happening this week and they had what was really a very positive me saying now this follows 5 months of turmoil and increasingly violent protests in hong kong this has been a big source of concern and embarrassment from beijing but there was no sense at all of any reprimand or any displeasure from xi jinping to carry land in fact he expressed a high degree of trust and confidence in him government and acknowledged all the hard work that should been putting in to really try and calm the situation now this seems to really be a message from xi jinping to the people of hong kong and the rest of the world tha

xi jinping is a general secretary of the communist party.he chairman of the military commission and the people's liberation army is an arm of the party, not the government. he's president of the people's republic of china in that order and as long as we remember you're dealing with the general secretary of the communist party, you understand all the negotiations and all of the meetings to medically better than if you allow them to get away with pretending that he is a normal western executive. host: thank you for that. it was nice chatting with you. guest: thanks stephen this program is available as a podcast, all afterwards programs can be viewed on our website at book tv.org. >> the house will be in order. >> for 40 years c-span has provided unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court of public policy events from washington dc and around the country so you can make up your own mind crated by cable in 1979. c-span what is brought to you by your local cable or satellite provider. c-span, your unfiltered view of govern

president xirned jinping is due for a trip to the u.s. the two sides are very far along with phase one of the trade deal. nigel says his brexit party will run candidates nationwide in election set for december 12. the conservative cabinet member warned that position risks of losing brexit altogether. the five-week campaign kicks off in earnest this week. pressure -- president trump told california's governor they will receive no more federal money for wildfires. the present said kevin newsom has done a terrible job of forced management and added, get your act together. federal agencies own and manage 57% of california's for us. the governor responded to the president street -- tweets with one of his own. he says you don't believe in climate change so you are excused from the conversation. saudi arabia has offered a number of senate's to open success. they cut taxes on the oil giant for a third time and may boost dividends again and will award investors for holding onto shares longer. shares will be lifted. sales were hit by lower oil pric

coming up the words that prompted a crackdown show no mercy that's the directive chinese president xi jinping allegedly gave officials to quite as. we speak to someone who is suffering the consequences of these words plus. the plastic waste lang waste of malaysia's involvement and people's health and most of it wasn't even generated in the country . welcome to. it's good to have you with us what has prompted china's i don't handed approach in. if you believe a league of government documents it was the words from this man chinese president xi jinping he allegedly ordered officials to court absolutely no mussy when dealing with terrorism and separatism. the result of that has been up to a 1000000 wee goods interned in detention camps like this one families separated and the destruction of we go to culture by raising mosques and other images headed to the region in a moment i'll speak to someone who's experienced the uncertainty of separation from their family but 1st here's more on what is contained in these revelations. a city in harmony and joy under the watch of big brother human rights orga

arthel: can xi jinping survive this? >> he will probably be able to survive this but maybe not.ek ago "the new york times" published 403 pages of documents about concentration camps there, those documents embarrass personally xi jinping, somebody at the top of the chinese political system went to new york times in order to target china's leader, he'll got to be in trouble already and this is -- this is a policy misbecause these are policies that have been in place for more than half decade. arthel: okay, live there, you told me he has detractors inside the government and thinking that the people in mainland china will now be emboldened perhaps step out on their own but i kind of don't see it because it's xi jinping, who is going to make them, you know, get out of office. >> he's all powerful. that means he's also all accountable and that means -- arthel: he doesn't care? >> well, it means, though, that there's nobody else for him to blame, in the previous system before, any chinese ruler who made a mistake, no big deal, all decisions were made by consensus and now he's the only

his focus on xi jinping.i jinping is a little bit like the president's deals with various people he profiles in the book. so they are nervous. and they have been fighting quite hard. they are a very powerful country in many ways. but the president may get the best of this in the near term. whether the enforcement mechanism can be set up and work. we won't know that for several months. that will be the real test. one thing donald j. trump warns about in his book warns about. he says never settle for a letter of intent. always get every detail wrapped up and signed. lou: nothing seems to be in text here. maybe there is. but it's certainly no part of the phase one seems to be papered as the expression goes. so where are we? the president making it clear that it may take some time, certainly beyond the new year, to get this phase one deal done. is that your view as well? >> no. the first phase could happen quite rapidly. it depend on xi jinping himself. there was a complex text 1. >> 50 pages or more -- 150 pages

xi jinping, chinese roller, summoned kim jong-un to north korea four straight times before xi jinping returned the visit. that's an indication that when the chinese pull the strings, the north koreans will jump. they may hate the chinese, but they know that they have to obey. the chinese don't always seek obedience, but when they do, the north koreans comply. that shows you they could not run a ballistic missile program. they could not run a nuclear weapons program if the chinese really didn't want it. yes, sir. >> the demonstrations in hong kong and -- is that carrying over to south korea with having some influence of that? >> the question is, are the protest in hong kong inspiring those in south korea? i think the answer is probably no. but the protests in hong kong are doing something else, which is at least as important, and that is they are changing the political calculus in taiwan. remember, xi jinping believes the one country to make systems formula for hong kong was really for taiwan as well. and he for these protest started to take, started getting momentum on june 9, that wa

carolan met the xi jinping on the sidelines of a big international trade expo that's happening this week and they had what was really a very positive meeting now this follows 5 months of turmoil and increasingly violent protests in hong kong this has been a big source of concern and embarrassment from beijing but there was no sense at all of any reprimand or any displeasure from xi jinping to carry land in fact he expressed a high degree of trust and confidence in him government and acknowledged all the hard work that should been putting in to really try and calm the situation now this seems to really be a message from xi jinping to the people of hong kong and the rest of the world that carry land is that to stay as the leader of hong kong and that really puts to rest some speculation that they were preparing to replace or as a leader as early as the beginning of next year now many in hong kong are really going to be unhappy at this meeting and they're going to see really it as further proof that kerry land is little more than a puppet of the government of beijing and president xi jinpin

xi jinping insists a phase one deal must be based on mutual respect. >> and manufacturing activity in france and germany expanding that beat expectations >> you mentioned some flash data we have some more here we have the november flash numbers for the november pmi coming in at 46.6 and services coming in at 50.3 against 50.6 in october and coming in at 51.5 for november against 52.2 last month. >> we saw the german and the french data that was better than expected that led to the small rise in the euro i wouldn't say it was a huge rise we are seeing the euro changing at 1.1056 given that the french number beat consensus. the german number well below that 50 boom bust level at 43.8 versus 42.1 for october. the services for both countries was below forecast but maybe this points to a little bit of a stablization even though we are still looking at pretty stag nant on this let's bring in the expert on this chris, stagnation or growth? >> both. it has been three months now of the headline composite pmi around that 50 left. no growth. when you run your models it is indicating not 0.1% gdp

selina wang in shanghai, where president xi jinping held that speech. still with us is the chief market strategist at hsbc. do you see any opportunity here? president xi, time and time again over the past couple of years, has tried to make this argument, that china is opening up. they have the roads enbridge initiative, and people are arguing, maybe europe should try and strengthen its asia trade ties while the u.s. is increasingly isolationist. i mean, where are the opportunities? therethere are -- willem: are clearly opportunities for developed market companies that trade within china. the opportunities as you were alluding to at this point in time are more in the domestic theomy, i.e., with consumer. as the consumer grows wealthier, onher they spend the income -- for they spend it on themselves, especially on health care and also on travel and entertainment. consumption growth is a structural and -- it has a low correlation with what is happening in the trade cycle and in the trade news, so therefore, a relatively defensive trade in our view. matt: d

really, this is kind of a fork in the road for xi jinping.he going to double down o oontrol and indoctrination, or is he going be flexible and dive a little bit in the icion of more direct democrlection of hong kong political leaders? >> and that is the latest from hong kong, but i do want to get your take on a different topic we're also covering today. i want to shit now to mainland party documents sh communist internal workers of internment and reeducation cam used to detain a million people. the china cables are the first ofcial glimpse into the structure and ideology behind these camps in northwest china's xinjiang province, where one million muslim uighurs, and members of other min groups, are detained on industrial scale. the documents show that the chinese government officials designed the camps as brainwashing centers on a massive scale, with multiple layers of security. among the other revelations: camp inmatesdeould be held nitely, camps are run on a points system where inmates earn credits for compliance, weekly e one calls or mont

government had been doing to try to calm the situation and really it seemed to be a message from xi jinping to the people of hong kong and indeed to the rest of the world that kerry land is here to stay now just last october just last month we had some speculation that they might actually be preparing to replace kerry because a chinese official said that they jing was thinking about ways to improve the selection of hong kong's leader and improve the way that the leader. would make that transition to a to a new leader so many saw that as an indication that kerry last days as the leader of hong kong would be numbered and this really seems to put that speculation to rest now many in hong kong are going to be really unhappy with that meeting and that also say that is just further proof of what they've been saying about this whole time that she's little more than a puppet of beijing now interestingly she didn't ping ended that me saying with an encouragement to carry land to continue discussions and dialogue with all of walls of hong kong society and to see what she could do to really improve th

of the financial system with non-state controlled investment vehicles take hold i think what she jinping was especially talking about was looking into and developing further the block chain technology behind. bitcoin and in the beginning people equated bitcoin and block chain as one unit but in fact one bitcoin is just using plot change and lots of people are looking into that interesting technology and that really has the potential to change the financial world. skeptics doesn't this rollercoaster and this volatility all known one remark by doesn't actually mean it's. a big call another couple cons is not a safe bet. yes they are not a safe bet you're right because there's nothing really to back it except to self to find a definition by bitcoin of what makes it valuable it is a valuable tool for criminal elements it is a valuable tool for people who are a lot ideologically against state controlled money and this huge surges or to tumbles not there's hardly a serious investment vehicle out there which shows this oh so many times over such short periods of time. only once in frankfurt tha

chinese president xi jinping backs hong kong's beleaguered and unpopular leader kerry lam that's despite months of protests that have brought as much as a 1000000 people of the 7000000 living there out onto the streets she made his public remarks in a meeting with lam well despite what he says protesters fight on including as you can see here in virtual reality hong kong has a digitally savvy population and activists have used technology in creative ways to promote their cause. but another night of protests in hong kong but not on the actual streets in our virtual reality game replicating what's happening on the front line. that was developed by hong kong gamers to give players all over the world a better sense of the conditions faced by the city's pro-democracy demonstrators. one of the creators as well. she now conceals her identity after taking part in unauthorized protests. we hope to also mention that you know awareness by. imitating peace protests and let people who didn't. experience in frontline protest can. experience it in the 1st. developers call their game liberate hong kong

xi jinping has taken with the homeconomy from hong kong and violated the 1984 declaration. kong basic law which is training gestation. he let the thugs out that attacked on july 21 and they've gone after the hong kong high court. this is undermining the rule of law. you either with xi jinping or hong konthe people hong kong but both. >> i think the president is in a tough position. in the rights exist because we started a trade war in china was back on their heels in the hong kong people had to attack -- the question is here, what is -- why do we need this bill, i almost think it's fishy that they don't need anything. can we do sanctions if they mow down people with tanks question what do we really need this at a trade negotiation to possibly ruin the trade negotiation? why can't we do this without a bill, is there something legal that we can't punish trying other ways if they're totally abusive with these people? >> we could but you want to stop the slaughter. there's an assumption that you either have the bill or have trade but not both. thus the thinking that has prevail

largely because of xi jinping's view on state domination of totalitarian controls. none of this is working but what we are seeing is i think trump's policies are having a marginal effect right at precisely the right time for what you want to do. and for what i want to do as well. i believe that coexistence is not possible. as much as we would like it, and we can be friends with the chinese people of course, we will be friends with the chinese people, just not with the communist party of china around. >> in the back. >> thank you. [inaudible question] the first question is, was moon responsible from the impeachment and conviction of his predecessor? it sure looks like it. from all of the factors, especially because of what moon is doing now, i have to say the answer is yes. with regard to limen box, he's been quiet. tomorrow would be able to better answer the question i can. but you haven't heard his voice. that is going to be something i'm sure moon fears because lee was, as you point out, a popular figure. jailed for one charge. >> what is the solution Ãb [inaudibl

fans of west berlin back in 1980. 2 i'm terry martin good to have you with us chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart to manuel mccaughan have issued a joint statement reaffirming their strong support for the paris climate accord in beijing president michel and said cooperation between europe and. on reducing emissions would be decisive as follows the trope administration's move to start the formal process of withdrawing the us from the 2015 accord but she and the call have said the court is irreversible. quickly delicious milk over the past 2 years in the fight against climate change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment to the i regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices. when china the european union and russia ratify the paris agreement and make a firm commitment to the isolated choice made by one or another country won't change the course of the world as. well as talk this through now i'm joined here in the studio by our environment reporter tim schoenberg could see attempts well the

to sayhe morning, we had things like, thank you, xi jinping, long live xi jinping,, otherwise, we did get food. class, they would tell us we were poisoned by religion and islam is an infectious disease. >> inmates spepend a minimum of one year in the camps and earn freedom by showing ideologicalal transformation and discipline. contact barely afforded with the outside world and are kept under surveillance for up to a year after their release. beijing has denied the existence of these camps, but was forced to acknowledge them after the emergence of satellite photos and of a flood of testimony. authority say no human rights violations are taking place. preventative measures. it is nothing to do with eradication of ethnic groups. the treatment of chinese muslims amounts to the largest internment of an ethnic religious minority since the second world war. today is the international day for the elimination of violence against women and the day the french government announced measures to engender violence and feminist side. this in a country where women have been killed by current or former

and this would be one of them the president said that he signed it out of respect for president xi jinping of china he said he's done that of respect for china and also for the people of hong kong now it's also been pretty difficult to work out at times one president trumps interpretation of the ongoing protests in hong kong has been you know he said that he's with hong kong at times he's also said that you know the chinese president xi jinping is a great guy now before signing the lol he also expressed a lot of concern about what the implications of signing this would be with regards to this quite delicate situation that the united states and china find themselves in at the moment with regards to this trade war and the possibility of reaching as some sort of agreement on ending it because it's been pretty ongoing here and you know president trump has been receiving quite a lot of criticism here from all sides over his handling of the situation it was all the likely consequences for the u.s. because of this. well you know as i said you know the president has been seeking some sort of trade

xi jinping and. some of these people in the senior leadership is not only disgruntled they're very worried about the direction that she's being. the country the new york times leaks demonstrated to us that there was a huge purge of communist party officials who refused to carry out the campaign of mass attention with sufficient enthusiasm so there has been resistant and quite a bit of resistance to these leaks reflect the fact that there are people who view the policy is there with a degree of horror the chinese strategy of keeping a close look on what is happening there i think really indicates how much to consider this to be an atrocity officials who violate party discipline of who leaked any information are being severely punished no person no official no circumstance must be allowed to leak anything at all on the whole reeducation effort to camps or anything related to it i mean this is the government that spent a year in denying that these camps existed at all and then under international pressu

in brazil the south china morning post is reporting that sources close to beijing say president xi jinping this trip to americas may be too soon for the 2 sides to prepare all of the particulars needed to finalize that portion of the deal officials from both sides have been working to find a location and date for a meeting between president donald trump and she since the cancellation of the apec summit in chile which was set for this month meanwhile chinese officials on wednesday offered an olive branch to india over the regional comprehensive economic partnership saying the trade pact would open the door for indian exports at the 11th hour india exit of the trade agreement between the asian nations which may be the world's largest trade deal citing a lack of benefits for the country chinese vice foreign minister leo chang said while they're moving forward with the deal india's concerns are not going on heard . so there won't be any problems for the 15 parties assigned the next year we are also considering the concern of india we are taking an attitude whenever india is ready it is well to

people familiar with the matter say president xi jinping is open to a u.s. trip to sign the 1st phase of a trade deal however no final decision has yet been made. at the last minute india has pulled out of the regional comprehensive partnership which could be the world's largest trade pact citing concerns that the deal could hurt the country's farmers businesses workers and consumers without india the agreement made in bangkok will include the 10 members of the association of southeast asian nations as well as china japan and south korea and new zealand indian prime minister narendra modi said of this decision when i measure the r.c.p. agreement with the respect of the interests of all indians i do not get a positive answer the green members expect the deal to be signed sometime next year and chinese vice foreign minister leo chang spoke about the agreement and the pos. india joining at a later date. whenever india is ready they're welcome to get on board as for the significant epeat understands how much the larger population it definitely will play a crucia

so this is the latest comment by xi jinping on to be protected. so this is the latest comment by xijinping on hong kong is a pretty strong indication that china wants 2— what a stop to the current violence and protest. and i think this will probably cause, you know, a lot of people to worry, but also the protesters are likely that... i think they will become more angry. of course, this anger continues to spill into this week. we have already seen quite a lot of violence this week, a protest a shot at point—blank range, yet another pro—beijing activist actually set alight. so this has been incredibly divisive for hong kongers. give us a sense of how and when do you think this may end, if ever? there is no end in sight, i'm afraid. it has caused a lot of division in hong kong society. a lot of people are... i mean, given the protests are of people are... i mean, given the protests a re now of people are... i mean, given the protests are now in their sixth month, a lot of people understandably are getting very fed up understandably are getting very f

in climate policies so let's take a listen to what the chinese president xi jinping had to say. but i mean really which it bobby and in the face of some of the most major changes ever seen over the last century china and france as permanent members of the security council and representatives of eastern and western civilizations must assume more responsibilities as 2 powerful nations. so we can as usual being a talking then when he's talking with china taking more responsibility but in actually public capita timbs china is not the biggest but you to it is australia and us is one of the biggest but the it is given that how much of a gap will the u.s. is pulling out of the climate accord have well definitely the withdrawal of the united states out of states out of paris agreement is a big political loss definitely just to give one example back then when the agreement was signed china and india just agreed in large parts to make commitments because the us united states were also taken action so now there's definitely a loss a gap sorry. but as we see this agreement being announced a
