complains very appropriately about our inadequate radio broadcasts for latin america. let me point out again that his congress the democratic congress has cut eighty million dollars off of the voice of america appropriations. now, he has to get a better job out of his congress if he's going to get us the money that we need to conduct the foreign affairs of this country in latin america or any place else. mr. howe: walter cronkite, you have your first question for vice president nixon. mr. cronkite: thank you quincy. mr. vice president, senator fulbright and now tonight, senator kennedy, maintain that the administration is suppressing a report by the united states information agency that shows a decline in united states prestige overseas. are you aware of such a report, and if you are aware of the existence of such a report, should not that report, because of the great importance this issue has been given in this campaign, be released to the public? mr. nixon: mr. cronkite, i naturally am aware of it, because i, of course, pay attention to everything senator kennedy says

good morning, i'm the director of the latin america economic growth initiative at the latin america discussion. thank you for having the great discussion. do doug, heiwai. the only problem with the first panel, you really set the bar for our second panel. before we start, i'd like to congratulate douglas and andre in the first row on an excellent report on a topic that i think may be overlooked by some as just a technical development in the world, but really has the potential to reshape how business is done across emerging markets, including latin america. that's really no small statement, but frankly it's true. the renminbi becoming an international reserve asset is not something to be overlooked. as our first panel said, huge changes not just in chinese markets, but global implications. we looked at the ins and outs of china's currency policy. the next panel is going to look at what this means for latin america. we have a dream team of speakers, my dream team of speakers at least, to look at that. i'm going to sit down here. the first speaker -- you have their full bios in the handout. to my

i'm director of the latin america economic growth initiative at the adrienne arsht latin american discussion. thank you, doug and clyde for your insight. you did such a good job. now you really set the bar for our second panel. now we have a bar to hit. i would like to congratulate andre and douglas in the first year. excellent report on a topic that frankly may be overlooked by some as a technical development in the world. but really has the potential to reshape how business is done across emerging markets, including latin america. that's really no small statement. but frankly it's true. the rmb becoming an international reserve asset is not something to be overlooked. it has a huge potential for big changes, not just the chinese market and the pace of reforms but global implications. we spent the last half hour looking at the ins and outs of the chinese currency market. so the next panel is going to look at what this means for latin america. and we have a dream team of speakers, my dream team of speakers at least to look at that. we're going to sit down here. the first speaker, you have th

so, why focus on the latin america relationship and why now? after nearly 2500% increase in two-week trades since 2000, the terms of the china-latin american relationship are on the cusp the change. the organization will make trade and investment between the two regions a more seamless transaction. at the same times, a globalizes will be transaction cost savings for hundreds of companies in latin america and other emerging markets. but there are some risk involved as our own market region has shown. and the infrastructure for more the nominated transaction is still being built. what is the next phase of the china latin america relationship and what implication for the western hemisphere? will it reshame the region? today, habc and the atlantic council looking forward that will highlight a new instance in this issue. this is discussion is not about winners and losers, but the opportunity to be overcome. and we have an excellent line-up of experts ready to explain where china, latin america, and the u.s. will find those. with that i will turn it o

senator kennedy referred to the fact that there was not an adequate voice of america program for latin america. i'd like to point out that in the last six years, the democratic congresses, of which he'd been a member, have cut $20 million off of the voice of america programs. they also have cut $4 billion off of mutual security in these last six years. they also have cut $2 billion off of defense. now when they talk about our record here, it is well that they recognize that they have to stand up for their record as well. so let me summarize by saying this: i'm not satisfied with what we're doing in the cold war because i believe we have to step up our activities and launch an offensive for the minds and hearts and souls of men. it must be economic, it must be technological, above all, it must be ideological. but we've got to get help from the congress in order to do this. mr. mcgee: senator kennedy. mr. kennedy: of course mr. nixon is wholly inaccurate when he says that the congress has not provided more funds in fact than the president recommended for national defense. 1953, we tried to put a

this panel that the potential implications that renminbi has for bringing in more investment into latin america, i think the panel seems to conclude that there is probably less potential that that will bring for latin -- countries of into china. when you think of chinese investment into the region, how do you see this as having political or economic ramifications in the u.s. relationship with those countries in the region with which there will be even greater commerce and investment with china as a result of this? >> actually, i think more important is the lack of approval of tpp than the discussion to tell you the truth. and actually, now that apec is being chaired by peru. there is a tension in terms of actually pursuing a free-trade agreement where china is part of it, and that's the blueprint being discussed in lima at the end of, you know, you know, in november, when we have the summit, summit of leaders. and what will happen, you know, if the tpp postponed until who knows when. that's more important in terms of the impact on latin america, china, plus relationship. i see real tensions. i

and early colonial period versus latin america. >> in ballpark terms, what happened in new england was the so-called settlers. that word is increasingly problematic, i think, for historians. the so-called settlers push the indians aside and killed them and enslave them and in some cases, whereas in latin america, the encomienda is and so on, it was more using the indians for their own purpose. i live long enough, which i -- probably won't, i would love to do a project on colonial latin america about, does the name poto si mean anything to you? quite a few years ago, i went to bolivia, i mentioned that in some other context. i went in order to climb mountains. i'm a longtime mountain nut. i went, we went off into the andes for a couple weeks, and we had three bad luck with the weather -- very bad luck with the weather. one blizzard after another. our guide was a history buff. for some reason, he brought along a number of, a small library of latin american history books on the back of the llamas carrying our stuff. lying in the tent

between the years 2000 and 2009, china increased two-way trade with latin america from $13 billion to$120 billion. that is a spike of over 660%. it is still a small slice of the u.s. impact. however, the u.s. portion remains static, while china's increases each year. ping'se biden and xi jin reeked different results. washington came back empty handed. charles: let's turn to some other stories making headlines. a french energy company is selling a specialty chemicals business. carlisle is buying it for just over $3 billion. the french energy company has been selling assets to shore up balance sheets. deutsche bank will also be selling assets. they are working on a public listing of the asset management .ecision the multibillion-dollar settlement is expected with the u.s. department of justice for alleged fraudulent practices. finally, thinking of going public, the social network /virtual messaging company could be valued at $25 million or more , one of the highest profile initial public offerings in recent years and could be happening as early as late march. snapchat may be going publi

and the impact it will have on emerging markets, particularly in latin america. our event comes at a critical moment as just on saturday it became the fifth global currency to be accepted as a official reserve asset by the international monetary fund. this is a telling moment in the country's emergence as a global economic powerhouse. for countries in latin america such as brazil and argentina, that already have substantial trade and investment partnerships with china, this develop could further improve bilateral cooperation. however, it is vital he we also consider the broader ramifications through the. >> rob: will have on other latin america economies as well as implications for our own domestic economy. today's discussion will delve into the meat of these issues, providing further context to the report's findings, and to china's highly complex relationship with latin america. after i invite jerry to say a few words, we'll have two separate panel discussions. the first one moderated by sam fleming of the financial times. and then by jason marchzach, director o

and across latin america are holding the first summit on tackling the zika virus. scientists leave the mosquito-borne virus is linked to birth defects in the region. cuba has been successful in tackling and controlling the spread of the disease. this report now from havana. reporter: who better to introduce a summit on mosquitoes than children dressed as insects? an youth musicians of afterschool club entertain the "betters with a chorus to be safe than sorry." that is the definition of their policy on zika. the country's health minister spoke in glowing terms of the country's long history of tackling mosquito borne disease. but health officials know that no single country has all the answers and this is a chance to share the best practice. cuba hopes it can show the rest of the region its strong policy on mosquitoes and is strictly enforced house to house program on fumigation. the cuban government still knows they can learn more about tackling the virus, especially on new technologies. but they have delivered a clear public education message. so far it seems to b

[applause] susan: my mom is going to be thrilled. thank you very much, jane. good morning, everyone. i want to thank you for that very kind and very personal introduction. i want to thank you for your extraordinary leadership from this very important institution. i am glad to be back here and i am grateful for this opportunity to talk about our cuba policy at a place where so much good work on the americas has been going on. i want to recognize and thank a former secretary of commerce, carlos, for being here and for lifetime of remarkable work and achievements that reflect so many cuban-americans. i have been looking forward to coming back to the wilson center, and you have been very kind and offered me this opportunity on a number of occasions, but to do so, and to be able to talk about the administration's appr

have abroad and to wage the non-military battle for the war for the world in asia, in africa and latin america. it's going to cost more money, and growth will help us to win that battle. now, what do we do about it? and here i believe basically that what we have to do is to stimulate that sector of america, the private enterprise sector of the economy, in which there is the greatest possibility for expansion. so that is why i advocate a program of tax reform which will stimulate more investment in our economy. in addition to that, we have to move on other areas that are holding back growth. i refer, for example, to distressed areas. we have to move into those areas with programs so that we make adequate use of the resources of those areas. we also have to see that all of the people of the united states the tremendous talents that our people have are used adequately. that's why in this whole area of civil rights, the equality of opportunity for employment and education is not just for the benefit of the minority groups, it's for the benefit of the nation so that we can get the scientists and th

latin american. so, the associations seem to be more north south. right? in other words, more this hemisphere in the americas. however, really, that is a little bit misleading. because, where do we get latin from? any ideas? the roman [ laughter ] , so in some ways the irony here is latino or any variation goes back to the roman empire. >> and so, somebody from brazil or portugal, can they identify as latino hispanic though they do not speak spanish? >> they could. because the census allows you to self-identify. now, what is actually going to potentially, many portuguese might say no i'm not hispanic because there is a long history of the relationship between portugal and spain which was a rather colonial one where spain had the power over portugal until it gained its independence. there, they speak portuguese and in spain, it is spanish. so a portuguese person might say i'm not hispanic and you would understand why they might be and they might also say i'm not latino because they might think of latino in terms of the north south and not spain. >> you mentioned previously, the census. i have come across form

there's been many experiences with poverty reduction in latin america. the condition of cash transfer programs direct to four people. also, there are still many issues in terms of increasing productivity in argentina. it is a broad agenda. both policy reform and also trying to create an environment where after many years we can begin to think about attracting private sector investment from outside argentina. focusedgrowth strategy specifically on supporting the poorest. we are expanding our portfolio at argentina, and, frankly we are optimistic that things will get better. >> fourth row, please, in the middle. >> good morning. larry elliott of the guardian -- of "the guardian." long ago, these meetings were .ominated by debt relief how close do you think we are to another debt crisis, given the a large number of developing countries, particularly in sub-saharan africa, are coming under as a result of commodity price falls and large amounts of lending during the good times? dr. kim: i think if you look at debt to gdp ratios, most of africa is still in goo

in asia, the middle east, latin america.he fact that you have one candidate actively saying that american alliances are as transactional as his own marriages are is a bad thing. it is not about values. values don't matter. it is not about being committed to a country. it is about are you paying? and if you're not paying enough, we're either going to split the check or walk away. russia, japan, singapore, the values don't matter. it is just a fair actually paying to play. that is the way he views an alliance. clearly that has unnerved american allies around the world. what you can also see is the american people don't want the u.s. to be the global policeman, don't want america to be the architect of global trade, they don't want america to even be the cheerleader of global values. , and allies are hedging they will continue to. >> you touched on the middle east. how will this election to find the relationship between the u.s. and the middle east? >> hillary clinton is very well known by the leaders in the middle east, and ce

i want people in latin america and africa and asia to start to look to america to see how we are doing things, do wonder what the president of the united states is doing, and not to look at khrushchev, or look at the chinese communists. that is the obligation upon our generation. in 1933, franklin roosevelt said in his inaugural that this generation of americans has a rendezvous with destiny. i think our generation of americans has the same rendezvous. the question now is -- can freedom be maintained under the most severe attack it has ever known? i think it can be. and i think in the final analysis it depends upon what we do here. i think it's time america started moving again. mr. smith: and now the opening statement by vice president richard m. nixon. mr. nixon: mr. smith, senator kennedy. the things that senator kennedy has said, many of us can agree with. there is no question but that we cannot discuss our internal affairs in the united states without recognizing that they have a tremendous bearing on our international position. there is no question but that this nation cannot sta

the you look at the west coast of africa, the west coast of latin america and the east coast of latin america, they've all gone down phenomenally because of what happened in china. it's not the only thing that happened. but to go from a situation where when i was in the imf and you were in the administration -- or you'd left already -- we used to think that world trade grew at twice the rate of world economy. we now see that it's i growing at the rate of the world economy. well, that's a huge, huge difference. it's related to the nature of chinese growth. it's also related to the nature of production. they're outsourcing less to their neighbors -- >> right. >> -- as we are outsourcing less, actually, as well at the moment. so level of trade has gone down. i don't think the importance of trade as an instrument, as a growth machine has gone down, and what worries me about the anti-globalization is the view that, well, globalization's useless. we ought to go back the worrying about ourselves. you worry about yourself, and you start shutting yourself off from global growth and global mark
