in spite of tiesing's shortcomings, professor liu can see promising.— a strong warning. in the 19th century, wuhan was known throughout the west as a major commercial port and trading centre for tea and tobacco. due to its prime location, it later establish itself as a home to heavy industry. the recent push to establish the city as a burgeoning hub for tech companies means businesses have had to move fast to keep up. at this robotics company, an emergency meeting of senior management has been called to discuss at the status of the distillery project. with the deadline looming, xu notices something he was not expecting. it seems that his partner had been taking things into his own hands. he has been orders to continue production for another project. with the clock ticking and a senior management at odds, not only is the prompt delivery of the robot is in doubt, but the company's entire operation is called into question. beijing, capital of china and the dream destination for all start—ups. for dot—com businesses, this part in the north—west part of the

well, my guest today is china's ambassador in london, liu xiaoming.a the villain or the hero of this pandemic? ambassador liu xiaoming, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. thank you to be with you again. we are delighted to have you on our programme at this difficult time. let me start, actually, with a very simple, direct question — do you accept that covid—19 has its origins in china? it was first discovered in wuhan, but i can't say it originated from wuhan. you know, according to many information, many reports, including bbc, it can be everywhere and anywhere. you know, it can be in aircraft carriers. it can be found even in the submarine and it can be found in some countries, which have very little connection with china. and also, it can be found in the group of people who have never been to china. so i couldn't say — we cannot say it's originated from china... ambassador, let me stop you there, because i'm a little confused by that answer. i mean, clearly, it is a new virus. it originated somewhere, it crossed, it seems, according to all of the immu

joining me now is co-president of yapa kids, andrew liu, a junior at hartford school in san jose. i checked out your web site. very impressed, andrew. you're 17 years old. you started this with some classmates. how did this idea come about? >> thanks for having me, janelle. i think one of the less anticipated consequences of this coronavirus quarantine was a shift in the educational responsibilities to the household, especially for young students. because at this time, many parents are taking on additional educational burdens. and because the fact is that education, and with distance learning, it is a lot more difficult. and so i reached out to some of my friends and classmates who had previous contact with community organizations, and we're thinking how we could really help out in this situation, where students really need, not just educational content, but also some more face to face interaction, and inspiration, and education, and older students, and as a high school student, i found the perfect opportunity. we wanted to really help out the younger students, because of the curr

. >> well, joining me now, chrisley u, fochris liu. i wonder how often do those calls happen?there were a few thousand people on them, which is amazing in itself. hoop on them and don't try to list all thousands, but, anyway, get to all that. >> alex, we get these calls regularly. there are around 13,000 alumni. these are people who have either worked on the president's campaign or were involved in the presidential transition. obviously served the white house with him. i'm told there are about 3,000 people on the call. the goal of this was to engage people around the importance of the presidential campaign, and why he believed joe biden has both the experience, the empathy and just the personality and the will for this moment. >> all right. so with the thought being 3,000 people on this call, do you think that this tape that we have now was strategically leaked? i mean, is this a message that president obama wanted to get out and perhaps the most effective way to do it? >> i honestly don't know. i viewed this as a private phone call, a chance for him to talk to his closest sup

. >> ambassador lighthizer and i had a conversation with premier liu he.lear that they would meet their commitments? am i confident? their actions, i said before we expect china will meet their obligations f they don't there will be very significant impacts to them, not just with the u.s. but the rest of the world. susan: what are those obligation gas? that means spending $200 billion next few years on energy and farm goods. they have been buying a lot of farm goods to maybe resupply and restock the food chain. we know there has been an epidemic among the swine and pork population in china. in terms of ip, intellectual property protection that is in question as well. will phase one translate into phase two? we have 25% tariffs, on $300 billion worth of chinese goods. stuart: tell me about the chip-makers. i think it is the administration's intention to take chip-making out of china and bring it back to the united states. how does that factor all these talks? susan: they want to jump-start new chip factories pointing to the fragility of asian supply chains,

all, as you know from reports today, ambassador lighthizer, secretary mnuchin, met with vice premier liuery constructive meeting. the printout, the communique, if you will, was very positive. china continues to tell us they have every intention of meeting the requirements and the implementations of the deal that winter.ed formally last it seems like 1000 years ago, but it was only a couple of month ago. they are a little bit behind on commodity purchases. that may be because of market conditions. they are pledged to continue, foruding remedies intellectual property theft and related measures, so those talks seemed to go well and were constructors. the chinese relationship is very complex. and we know that the virus originated in china. there investigating, we, u.s. government, the intelligence agencies, national security council's, state department, etc., we are carefully investigating what happened and what did not happen, what may have happened, and what actually happened. .hina has been not transparent a lot of people are concerned. i saw this with the president at the g7 video teleco

liu? >> thank you, chairwoman, for your leadership on this issue. i want to thank chairman nadler for his leadership of the full committee, and thank you to the witnesses for the powerful testimony today. mr. patton, you mentioned in your opening remarks terminal island prison. that's a facility in southern california that has approximately a 70% infection rate of covid-19 and at least eight inmates have died. there are numerous other prisons that you noted that have similar high infection rates with inmates dying. that is one of the reasons we wrote a letter to the federal bureau of prisons asking to release all inmates into home confinement and come up with a plan for other facilities, and why congressman jeffries and i wrote a letter to the inspector general asking him to investigate the bureau of risen -- of prison and department of justice's inadequate response to the covid-19 outbreaks. my two questions to you have to do with the legal standard for cruel and unusual punishment. as you know, the first prong that has to be met is an objective st

. >> sources tell us it will be the first time the chinese vice premier liu he and u.s.ative robert lighthizer have spoken since january. alix: president trump threatens more tariffs as punishment. despite all of that, we are seeing a rally building here within the equity market. if you take a look at european equities, they are on the has of the session. s&p futures around the highs of the session. seriously a straight arrow up. some buying in the bond markets, but nothing to write home about. it was all about a bear steepener yesterday after the and essman from the treasury department, but kind of coming down from there. saudi arabia setting their oil price higher. that could signal more demand. it plays into the recovery story. when we open up, will things actually get better? joining me now is chris watling, longview economics ceo and chief market strategist. i have more nuanced questions for you, but the first one truly is why are we rallying? question.t a great i think we are still on the sugar high and the good news feeding into the market, the idea of opening up

robert lighthizer had a call with the chinese vice premier liu he.n that call, they talked about the progress being made to set up this infrastructure to implement the deal. crucially, part of the deal is in spitethat they said of the health emergency, both expect to meet their obligations under a timely manner. i think that is part of the reason we are seeing this risk on rally, because there has been a big question mark about whether china is going to be able to meet their part of the deal. the agreement calls for china to buy an additional $200 billion of goods and services in 2020 and 2021, compared to 2017 levels. because of the pandemic, we have seen a lot of those imports dropped. at the moment, they are really behind the pace they would need. of course, in general we have seen a deteriorated rhetoric between beijing and washington. president really blaming china, saying they did not properly warn the rest of the world about the scale of it and even threatening more tariffs as a punishment. so this call certainly eased some of those tensions,
