when xi jinping speaks every year or two, they alternate between xi jinping giving the opening keynote in the premier. when xi jinping speaks, when he is there, it usually attracts much bigger names, including the chairman of big own state enterprises, and also westerners. steve schwarzman of blackstone and bill gates, elon musk, and they are all tightly wound into a small venue where you rub shoulders with these people. it's a great place to figure out what's happening in china and what the main goals are. so when you get that speech later this morning, i believe it's 9:30 this morning local time from xi jinping, all years will be on any signal from the leader anna where they are going to be tackling the different risks in the chinese economy, as well as china's role globally. we all know that xi jinping, his main mantra is about containing risks. obviously. what's happening with the big platform companies like alibaba and that crackdown. but also the financial risks with aunt -- ant. in the vice chairman of the securities watchdog gave a speech yesterday talking about the risk of inf

you mentioned xi jinping and china. the wagons around taiwan making the world understand clearly that they believe taiwan is a part of china and they look forward to the reunification, those goose steps of the police on the ground in hong kong, that picture is chilling to see the chinese police walking the streets in hong kong with their goose step the way they do in china. you've also got russia circling the wagons around ukraine. the iranians digging in saying they are not going to stop the enrichment of uranium, all of this happening right now. your thoughts on where we are. i spoke with devin nunes about it. congressman down's is the ranking member on the intel committee and here is what he said about current foreign policy. >> the biden administration seems to be going under the policy instead of like ronald reagan used to say peace through strength. i think their policy is speak loudly and carry a twig. but i also think the conventional wisdom here when you look at china, russia, iran, what's happening in afghanis

xi jinping speaks there every once to our three years.oes, granted it is virtually this year at 9:30 local time, so in the next hour. a lot of big names come when he speaks because what he has to say gives great weight and china is coming out of the pandemic a lot quicker than other parts of the -- then other developed nations in the world. we will hang on to his every world in the plenary opening session, even though the conference really open on sunday. tomorrow we get the big speeches. we will also get the pboc governor on a panel later this afternoon. a former pboc governor, as well, as well as larry fink, the blackrock founder, will be on a pension reform panel later today. but at 9:30 this morning we will hear xi jinping talk about level risk and how china can help solve or participate in those as kind of painting the picture of china in the post-pandemic recovery leading the way. granted there was that big double digit gain in first-quarter gdp for china, but that is coming from a low base. where will he go from here? i am betting

during his remarks in the climate summit yesterday, president xi jinping of china had this to say about emissions. >> we will continue to prioritize clout -- economical -- china will strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. china has committed to move from carbon peak to carbon neutrality in a much shorter time span than what's might take many developed countries, and that requires hard effort from china. support has been given to encourage peeking pioneers from localities, sectors, and companies. we will strict lick control coffaro -- coal-fired power generation projects. we will limit the increase in coal consumption over the land. and face it down in the 15 five year. -- five-year period. host: for those that don't spend their days understanding this, what did that mean? >> he is making big promises. this is quite a ways into the future. i forget who wrote this one in the newspaper a few weeks ago, china will have to close 600 coal power power plants. they have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in these, so there's not -- t

this administration has not even brought up the coronavirus to xi jinping. and hasn't answered any questions about why they down played coronavirus and ppe equipment that we were looking for and allowed the virus to escape its borders and now millions are dead across the world. it's just completely hypocritical and you have china being the biggest polluter. there's a great story in the journal this morning, china's fishing fleet, the world's drives global ambition, what they are doing is bullying people who are fishing in the south china sea saying that it's their waters in beijing's push to become a maritime superpower, china's fishing fleet to become the world's largest by far writes the journal and turned more aggressive provoking tensions across the globe. that's really what i'm talking about that we have the climate summit going on today and china is the biggest perpetrator, they break promises left and right, do you believe they will keep promises, are they going to stop that, we don't want to produce the products of the world anymore? >> well, i think

also on the show chinese leader xi jinping renews criticisms of what he calls it one sided international rule system reform in hina. and artificial intelligence is gaining traction around europe now the e.u. wants regulated can't rein in ai's worst excesses while still encouraging its growth. i'm stephen beardsley in brylin welcome to the show a chief architect for the breakaway european soccer super league event as chairman andrea yellin has conceded the project has failed after all 6 english premier league clubs pulled out of the elite competition a fan such as those here outside chelsea stadium celebrated their clubs announcing that they would leave the super league which was backed by billions of euros of investment capital by u.s. bank j.p. morgan the organizers of the league was necessary to shore up faltering club's finances. as a project not just fans but many trainers and football managers disapproved of. with just. you know the share price for how the. you know we are. we have the. money people about. but you should. exist on the nukes on. in europe. because it goes against eve

some of the same globalist messages we had heard from xi jinping in the past. what is the central message of the speech today? >> i think that is right. this speech was drenched in the language of globalization. president xi sought to put china on the world stage. he spoke about the need for multilateral organizations. he name checked the wto. he said china is willing to play a central role in terms of incorporating into all the issues facing the world such as the rollout of vaccines, climate change, and the like. it was the kind of message president xi has been trying to sell. the global audience is trying to push this idea that china is responsible -- irresponsible global player -- is a responsible global player. the speech today would be the kind of speech you would have expected from a western leader rather than someone like china. mark: good afternoon. what was the message he appeared to be trying to send to china's critics in this speech? >> there was pushback against china's critics. he did not name the u.s.. he pushed back against the idea that one coun

china's president xi jinping has pledged to fight global warming but his government continues to build new coal plants something moving towards greener sources of energy could risk jobs and economic recovery because really you has this report from a shower in chiang she province. plumes of toxic smoke leaking from power plants and factories is a common sight in santee the northwestern province has for decades powered china's economic growth primarily by burning coal. it's contributed to the nation becoming the world's pollution responsible for roughly one 3rd of global carbon emissions. the coal industry employs most of the people who live here. pollution has been polluting for. all the factories what are we going to do everyone who works for the factories. last year this region produced about 1100000000 tons of coal ton is reliance on burning coal as its main source of its biggest obstacle to lowering carbon emissions the government is struggling to find ways to curb its use of coal without affecting jobs or harming economic growth pollution caused by burning fossil fuels regularly sh

well china is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in a speech to the summit president xi jinping pledged to phase down coal consumption by 2030 china has committed to move from carbon peak to carbon neutrality in a much shorter time span than what might take many countries and that requires extraordinary hard efforts from china support is being given to encourage peaking pioneers from localities sectors in companies we will strictly control coal fired apology in the recent projects we go strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 4005 year plan period and phase it down in the 15th 5 year plan period as go to washington d.c. now our white house correspondent kimberly halkett is live for us and kimberly this is a very different white house that's back on the international climate scene than the one we've been used to in the last 4 years. there's no question the u.s. president joe biden is reclaiming america's leadership role when it comes to combating climate change one that he believes that his predecessor abandoned the and that is putting not just the united states

can't make xi jinping the bad guy.e heard from the former cdc director that the coronavirus likely came from the wuhan lab and for months we have been hearing the media tell us, listen to everything the cdc says, the cdc said wear a mask, no, the cdc said to wear two masks and the cdc said said don't go out but as soon as the former director of the cdc said the virus came from the lab, maybe we won't listen to the cdc. john: it's not just the opinion of the intelligence community about things that happened that we know happen, but the cdc, you know, the giver of freedoms, the oracle of wisdom, the nower of everything when it relates to covid-19 and when its director comes out and says, look, i think the most likely origin of this was the institute of virology, we hear crickets. it's not a political narrative for this administration. the folks who have gotten soft on china and the folks that have gotten rich on china and want to continue to do business. half a million americans died from covid-19 than died from all of w

the olympics, of course, is a hugely sensitive priority for xi jinping.ng and consider deft. it's gotten longer in the past few weeks among corporations and governments. they say, how can we go there if the genocide is on its way. human rights is calling it genocide games. the china is determining to bring this bachlkt expect to hear more. this is not going away. >> this is the largest internment we've seen since world war ii. it's significant. the world knows what's going on. evan osnos, thank you for helping us understand this. >>> coming up, a new game-changer for coronavirus long-haulers. >> within a matter of days after the second shot, i began to feel almost like myself. >> the details next. how am i doing? some say this is my greatest challenge ever. governments in record debt; inflation rising and currencies falling. but i've seen centuries of rises and falls. i had a love affair with tulips once. lived through the crash of '29 and early dot-com hype. watched mortgages play the villain beside a true greek tragedy. and now here i am, with one compa

xi jinping expected to speak at a global climate summit tomorrow.y are explaining how they will work together to tackle the climate crisis, following two days of talks with john kerry and his chinese counter part. house democrats are launching an investigation into the contractor that ruined 15 million doses of the johnson & johnson vaccine. lawmakers questioning whether emergent biosolutions used its ties with a trump era official to secure federal contracts without meeting qualificationses. this as the european union begins redistributing johnson & johnson's shot after declaring blood clots a very rare side effect. take a look at the premarket in johnson & johnson shares this morning, down a fraction. rest of the market hovering near the flat line, investors are watching earnings and of course dow industrials right now down 11, nasdaq down 32, s&p down 2 points, one of the highlights in the market netflix reporting first quarter last night, the company reported 4 million new subscribers globally, lower than the estimatedded 6 million. as a result,

can't make xi jinping the bad guy.n,n, look, we just heard fm the former cdc director that the coronavirus likely came from the wuhan lab. and for months we've been hearing theav media tell us lisn to everything the cdc says. the cdc said wear a mask. no, the cdc says wear two masks. the cdc says don't go out. but as soon as the cdc says the virus came from the lab, maybe we won't listen to the cdc. >> right. that's an inconvenient truth. that's a great point, maria. it's not just the opinion of the intelligent community about things -- intelligence community about things that happened, but the cdc, the knower of everything when it relates to covid-19 and when its director comes out and says, look, i think the most likely origin of this was the wuhan institute of virology, we hear crickets from the media. they don't want to cover that because, again, that's not a political narrative that's helping to this -- helpful to this administration, the folks who have gotten rich off china and want to continue doing business wit

xi jinping calls for integration and speaks against decoupling.asch at wins a lifeline in his fight to succeed angela merkel. the race is not over yet. and ufo is said to be into discussions over a 7 billion dollar financing package to overhaul the champions league and stop plans for a breakaway division. lots of action going on and drama when it comes to the football at the moment. the world is really waking up with this tone from xi jinping against decoupling. what stood out to me is telling his other countries, his neighbors and foes to stop bossing others around. veiled critiques especially when i look at the united states. matt: -- manus: he did go after the global movement. the tliv blog goes on to say maybe the things he did not pronounce on much more deeply, the carbon emissions, no new targets, it goes to the heart of it, which is warning against cold war mentality. he called for economic integration and against other issues, calling on the u.s. and its allies to avoid bossing others around. collects the future of the world should be deci

are you surprised, perhaps heartened to hear biden, xi jinping, and putin in accord on this issue?> yes, of course. that itself is good news. now that is not enough to protect climate. the atmosphere only knows real emissions and does not understand political disposals. but it is good that leaders announce more ambitious targets, that means that some leaders have small ambitious targets. if thoseargets are achieved a really, if emission reduction really takes place, that is certnly good news because we know the urgency is really there. >> net zero by 2050. it is right the u.s. should lead the way, isn't it? >> well, the u.s. is historically the largest polluters, if you look at the accumulated emissions since the industrial revolution to date, the largest emitter is china, but in terms of accumulated emissions, it is the u.s. it i very portanto have the u.s. participating again to the international efforts to protect climate. it is one of the big players together with the eu, china, and those thre together make a big so it is very important that the u.s. is taking this new leadersh

it was not clear almost until last minute if president xi jinping would participate in this earth dayt. how important is it that the u.s. and china are going to be involved? >> good day mohammed into my federal -- fellow panelists. i thing it is very important for optics in terms of understanding this issue is a nonnegotiable issue. i think both for president biden and xi jinping, it is not just about a photo op but the fact that both have recognized how important this issue is in going forward. the fact of the matter is, time has been lost. the time that has been lost, in terms of delivery and implementation of action going forward on deliberating and mitigating the risks around climate change and adaptation strategies, has actually cost us a lot. in that context it is very important in terms of recognizing climate change represents more than just two countries coming together. it is about global governance, multilateralism. action, in terms of going forward. that does not suggest that all the other issues that underpin the relationships, the teions, the undercurrents around issues o

defense against vladimir putin and she jinping. well i think syria is something that the the european union has sort of taken on not so much as a strategic interest but is about a reflection on the temp by the european union to highlight european values on human rights and other issues and as part of the ship we're seeing whereby. the europe is trying to redefine itself stroh's and to redefine it. with strategic autonomy and that strategic autonomy is to be defined by european civilized nation balanced unfortunately it comes just at the point where really the whole idea of universal human balance is rejected by most of the pro as no longer appropriate and they say you know we all have our other supplies and chinese they are civilization about use our harmony and community not individuals and not price and so it's quite difficult so they are they will make an effort yes on syria it will be like that ukraine is a much more problematic for the european union but i mean basically the european union has almost 0 or ations with russia no

china is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in his speech to the summit president xi jinping pledged to phase down coal consumption by 2030 china has committed to move from carbon peak to carbon neutrality in the march shorter time span than what might take many developed countries and that requires extraordinary hard efforts from china supporters been given to encourage peking pioneers from localities sectors in companies we were strictly control coal fired power generation projects we go strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 145 year plan period and phase it down in the 15th 5 year plan period katrine new has more now from beijing. this wasn't about details for china this moment is about the optics they want to send a message to the world that china takes this issue very seriously wants to transform its image of just being a world pollutant to being a sort of proactive leader when it comes to fighting climate change and another important message she jinping sent was that china also wants to set aside or it's willing to set aside the tensions that it has w

amy: chinese president xi jinping called on wealthy nations to do more to help developing countries face the climate crisis. he repeated a pledge to cut emissions in china, which recently passed the u.s. as the world's biggest carbon polluter. >> china will strive to peak carbon oxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. amy: the climate summit continues today with a focus in part on the role of big business. speakers include billionaires mike bloomberg and bill gates. on capitol hill, the house subcommittee on the environment heard testimony thursday on the role of fossil fuel subsidies in preventing action on the climate crisis. swedish activist greta thunberg spoke of a widening gap between what countries are doing and what actually needs to be done in order to keep global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees celsius. meanwhile, native american lawyer and environmental activist tara houska said indigenous people should be front and center in any debate over the climate. >> the reality is we are just 5% of the population, indigenous people, and we hold 80% abo

i thought it was really ironic xi jinping was one of the featured speakers since china is one of theorld's biggest polluters. look at the shot we have of the virtual summit, it was a summit led by the white house. only one wearing a mask is joe biden. you've got leaders from across the world sitting there, virtually, and he's got a mask on. what do you make of this? >> i guess this means that dr. fauci has now determined you can get covid, you can catch it through your web cam. that's the only thing i can conclude. but really, it's silly and this type of theater really is distracting to people who need to go out and get the vaccine. we have a lot of people, particularly those over age 40 and those who were overweight who all need to get the vaccine. and that all of the vaccines, the risks of the vaccines are less than the risk of the disease, particularly if you're over 40 and overweight. when biden goes on the computer screen to a zoom call and wears a mask, he's making a mockery of the scice and this is dissuading people who are skeptical anya way. if you want to convince people wh

tension between both countries right now and it wasn't clear until almost last minute if president xi jinping was actually going to be participating in this earth day summit how important is it that both the u.s. and china are going to be involved. the day mahomet and to my fellow panelists i think is bay in port and both the optics in terms of understanding that this issue is a non-negotiable issue i think as we noted in the insert that no one country as president biden had indicated can go it alone so i think both for president biden and for president xi jinping it is not just about of photo op but it's about the fact that both have recognized how important this issue is in going forward and the fact of the matter is that time has been lost and the time that has been lost in terms of delivery in terms of implementation of action and you know going forward on deliberating and which are getting the risks around to change and adaptations to energies has actually cost us a lot so i think in that context is very important in terms of recognizing that climate change represents more than just abou

her support that she gave for why a card during a 2019 meeting in beijing with chinese president xi jinping. speaking to the bundestag select committee she said that she wasn't going to wardley influenced by lobbyists when she spoke on why ecards behalf now why a card last summer announced that it had a a 1900000000 a year old hole in its accounts and a number of board members as well as senior members of the company currently facing criminal charges. well the chancellor said that the $29.00 team trip to china was to discuss a number of political issues with chinese president xi jinping but she has come in for criticism from some members of the bundestag who were part of this investigative committee saying that the chancellor went above and beyond for a company that has since found itself accused of serious financial crime. the success of the lobby machine surrounding wire cart between the lobbying of the chancellor when she actively supported a criminal organization like wire clark during her trip to china despite internal warnings and public reports angela merkel lobbied for wild card in

possible because it was underpinned by this unprecedented historic joint announcement between xi jinping and barack obama back in 2014 and of course since then that relationship between the u.s. and china really turned sour. not least because of president trump's withdrawal from the paris agreement the sort of return of the u.s. to the multilateral system with the return to paris is an opportunity to heal some of those wounds between the u.s. and china and to rebuild a working relationship on climate and that we need in order to get to 1.5 degrees as a sort of jointly agree to paris but i think it's going to be a difficult road i don't think that we're going to immediately see the kinds of warm relationship that might have existed in 2015 come back the geopolitics of that relationship more difficult than ever but i do think that there is a possibility to carve up an area of common interest in essentially the existential risk posed by climate change and the national self interest of both the united states and china in the carbonite in the their economies it's an opportunity as you say but

xi jinping was speaking at a recent forum over and china and he said that the u.s.lobal leadership is waning and said they should not be asserting their power and reasserted their preeminence over the region and beyond. how is this perceived in washington? marty: it is a point of concern as well. it is interesting that he did not mention the united states by name but everybody knows who he is talking about. it is interesting that he made a very strong call for multilateralism, the very thing that donald trump sot to undercut -- sought to undercut. mixed signals, a great way to put it, lisa. it is not clear what china wants from the u.s. the biden administration is not going back to pre-trump relationship. lisa: i wonder if the playbook is what we are seeing with nike, pressuring u.s. companies directly. tim cook, elon musk were at this conference attended by xi jinping and there has been a direct outreach to big american corporations. is this the strategy of the chinese government? marty: this is where they have tremendous leverage, right? even the speculation about

reporter: yes, these are similar swipes that xi jinping and other chinese leadership have made against the west. one quote that stood out to me is we should not let one country set the rules for all. big countries need to behave responsibly. i paraphrase a little bit. that is definitely a swipe, without naming the united states, for perhaps trying to set the moral agenda on the world. we heard those comments as well from the delegation that met their u.s. counterparts in alaska, that the united states is not necessarily coming from a position of strength anymore. he reaffirmed these themes that china has been trying to reinforce to the global audience, that is, china is on par, is equal with the united states in influence, and wealth, and should be respected as such. rishaad: thank you, the chief north asian correspondent coming through that speech by the president. let's have a look at what is going on with first word news, as we go over to new york. reporter: variations -- secretary of state antony blinken has warned that the u.s. is falling behind china and the race to shape the wor

not that's a location of special significance for beijing lately isn't it yes chinese president xi jinping he personally said that he wants to make high now on the free trade port and the biggest special you know make a free trade area in china so we can see that his plan to build this place as a trading platform for international consumer goods and it's also a sign and also the national strategy to show that beijing wants to open up and to do the reform so asshole will be a window to see this master plan. in taipei it was a pleasure and we go down to some of the other business stories making headlines. the u.s. economic recovery picked up speed in the 1st quarter growing at an annual rate of 6.4 percent rebound largely driven by consumers who had stimulus checks to spend the u.s. is vaccination rollout also allowed many businesses to reopen their doors again. amazon's pandemic boom isn't showing signs of slowing down the company saying its 1st quarter profit more than tripled from a year ago to $8100000000.00 fueled by the surge in online shopping revenue came in at over 100000000000 doll

when she jinping came in one of the things one of the reasons he made himself so popular was he cracked down on this but at the same time it's how this residual effect you know it's how this residual popularity it's been able to stay popular it's still got the association with corruption but it's also still so popular and part of the culture that it's managed to become you know as you see in china is china's biggest company now i want to speak. against corrupt officials in your quote rather something around 20132014 when he was cracking down on state banquets which went on for hours on and still continues to be popular is that not a contradiction in terms of what xi jinping was trying to do well i think it's i think a lot of it is cultural just like expensive whisky in in europe or in america is in india and it's very you know people like the more expensive stuff but also people it's still very popular you know i thought it was in have to be as expensive there's a bit of a face element so i think that's what's kept it going and also so much of what's going on in sort of the private sect

got xi jinping there, you got various leaders stepping up and making pledges.ned to president biden earlier on, and it sounded like a competition. it did not sound like cooperation. is that what this is? ellen: the competition really comes from the fact that if we do nothing and we let this opportunity slip through our fingers, we will lose jobs. we just at third way finished and incredible jobs modeling on infrastructure, to really get some realism and science behind it. with this kind of infrastructure spending that is in the jobs plan, we see about one million jobs over the next decade. so i hope your listeners will check out our website on this because you've got to look at the numbers. president biden is really just looking at the realities of it and saying if we don't catch up, we are going to lose a lot of jobs to those other countries that are moving much more swiftly than we are. guy: we are going to leave it there. thank you very much, indeed. ellen hughes-cromwick of third way, formerly working in washington at the department of commerce. we've got p

decade india russia and china did not make any significant pledges today in fact chinese president xi jinping said he expects those nations that have been industrialized and polluting the longest to make the deepest cuts 1st but that will not stop the process of global warming entirely a new report by the reinsurers swiss re concludes that if the world fails to meet the goals of the paris climate agreement there will be massive losses in g.d.p. china's will shrink by 25 percent the us 10 percent but even if all of the goals are met the global economy will still shrink by 4 percent the damage there are already baked in this is becoming more and more an effort at limiting and mitigating and not reversing. but in kicked off his address with a sobering summation of society's climate since from burning fossil fuel to inaction in the face of species extinction to rampant deforestation and air pollution in contrast to his predecessor biden said it was time for action and laid out his ambitious climate goals to the some 44 to supporting heads of state and government. the united states sets out on the
