it is a good medium-term signal, but i think the story in china has changed post-national congress. that means the end could stabilize. many other agents -- currencies in asia have external balances. francine: look at that paid i am within touching distance of mark cudmore, are bloomberg mliv managing editor and most markets in asia are advancing. we're looking at the taiwan dollar, and china's policy uncovered is changing. beijing made fresh attempts to boost its ailing economy. financial regulators issued a 16 point plan for the financial -- for the property sector on friday. joining us now is tatjana puhan, tobam deputy chief investment officer. what comes next? can china be a reliable part for the world economy? tatjana: i had my doubts about it because today china remains a country that has a regime that does not respect civil rights very well, and this shows underinvestment, but they try to get this country over the huge hangover and there is shorter-term positive momentum that investors could take advantage of. tom: and what is the read across to you -- equities in terms of e

looking into the economic future of china, i think, we better find answers from the national congress, everybody knows it has been clear to the world the leadership of the party is the characteristics of the chinese social system. a major driving force of the chinese economic development. we say in the western context, when you are wrong, do is wrong as do. in china, think as the chinese do. in his address, in congress, president xi emphasized many times the high quality economic development, the high-level opening up, the centrality of the economy and sustainable growth. obviously, the beginning of this year, china has experienced headwinds in the economy, because of covid outbreaks and geopolitical tensions. with the government's sustained efforts and continuing optimized solutions and covid strategies, with the moderated inflation and macroeconomy monetary support, together with the efforts from the financial institutions, we see a rebound of the economy in the third quarter with 3.9%. that is a good signal in the chinese economy. that's why i would like to rely on the fact that in

>> what is possible because even last month the communist party national congress met and xi jingpings control of the party, it was clear of the party was losing control of chinese society. that is one of the most graphic demonstrations of that was the iphone protest and that enormous plant more than half of the world's iphone spirit so, it was clear that the party was losing its grip there. this fire on thursday just confirmed that that the chinese people just want freedom. >> carley: it is wild to think the second largest economy in the world 1.4 million people living in china are living under the zero lockdown policy where if covid numbers go up, you get locked down not just a suggestion. you get sealed into your apartment building. you can't go outside. what is the thinking behind this? is this about control over people? a little bit of self sabotage because if you get locked in your apartment and can't go to work, it is affecting your economy but why is this happening? >> i think for a couple of reasons, first of all xi jingping wants to control the chinese people. he has known t

about half of the early leaders of the indian national congress work freemasons.and they saw and free masonry like george washington a school of >> virtues a way of teaching, forgive me, a way of teaching.

in the cherokee nation, what might happen in this congress, we know there are parts of indian country where if circumstances are desolate there are parts of cherokee nation where it is lacking in the united states can do more to close the gap having a voice in this congress will help that. >> having a voice in this congress, representation does matter in my opinion. as i close i haven't had an opportunity to speak with you before today to thank you about the work you have done in my district to ensure that the shelter, the migrant shelter for children, tender age children was run by you. he received the federal contract on that and while my weekly visits might not have been as welcome to some to the cherokee nation they were very welcome. holding the cherokee nation accountable for keeping to the specific contracts of what was called out, these children, i was there every week to make sure you were doing that and you were there every week at the table ensuring that my questions were answered. when we look at other shelters and we look at the abuses, forcing children to take narcotics.

we are seeing government policy to support the property sector, but also following the national congresseeting we heard president xi saying houses are for living in and not speculation. further pain for the property market is not out of the question. i think we are likely to see pain in this sector for years to come ahead. alix: when he talked about production and exports, and if it reopens we are going to get more production, etc., where is china going to be sending all of that stuff to check on who is still going to be buying all of it? alix: absolutely -- natalie: absolutely. we could talk about aluminum. we have seen exports decrease over the year, but on a year-to-date basis they are lifted. the obvious answer is europe, because of the high energy natural gas prices. have seen about 1.1 million tons of capacity come off in europe. europe is a 16% of global production, so it is likely if demand stays week in china could see lifted aluminum and points -- aluminum imports to europe. guy: coming out of russia into china from a metals point of view that we do not know about? hard questio

nation's request to see the delegate. as we continue to work on our obligations, i think it is important for congress to also look to these other requests. i know the cherokee nation was the focus of your report but has crs looked into whether other tribes have claim for some form of representation. if not, is that something that we could do? >> thank you. we have looked at the treaty provisions in the treaties that you mentioned. the treaty with the delawares of 1778, if it would be helpful i would like to read the way that that provision is worded. >> sure. >> the agreement in the treaty was to form a stay, whereas the delaware nation would be the had and have a representation in congress provided nothing contained in this article to be considered as conclusive until it meets with the operation of congress so that treaty provision first is slightly more dependent on congressional approval, then the wording of the new what showed a treaty. it also more expressly contemplates the creation of a state and that despite a could not create on its own. the treaty with the choctaw which is sometime referred to as the five years

fastest growing economy in the world, china has the highest legislative body, there is the national people's congressour supreme people's congress will not have their powers, but the experience of the state, which forms an economic political and social strategy in a format that we master inspires, in general, absolute analogues of our navy in the world no therefore, the draft law on it was not just drawn up; it was created from scratch, not a single modern country gives the steering wheel of a state car into the hands of such a wide range of citizens. the opinion of collective forms of government as something outdated and undemocratic, as a rule, is promoted by countries that keep democracy only on paper, if we consider society as a pyramid, then real dialogue along its entire vertical does not work in any country that calls democratic self, all the bricks of this pyramid in our navy will always be in the same plane. them. we'll have to work with an equal load and under equal conditions, and the upper bricks will not have a chance to break away from the reality of the lower ones. the abc draft law st

who personally made incredible efforts to prepare the treaty establishing the league of nations , the us congressnd treaty and did not give consent in the lucena administration for the united states to be a member of the league of nations, while the us congress, to put it very simply, took the position that the united states the states cannot be part of the organization of the structure in which the united states does not have the opportunity to control the decisions. and therefore, the united states never appoints members of the league of nations. later , after the athenian war, they were expelled from the league of nations, and the soviet union was left as a result of such an organization, sufficiently numerous, but without the main countries of the world. and, of course, an organization that does not have the main players among its members had a minimal chance of success, but i want to ask you, let's imagine the situation, there is the russian security council the federation is deprived, if it is more correct to say , of the opportunity to use the veto rights, which belongs to the soviet union

to me, it is remarkable when president xi took over, call him ruler for life the head of the national congressases skyrocketed, number of cities have skyrocketed. is this is coincidence? is there a connection there? >> it may be. we're looking 40,000 cases a day right now, that is what china is citing for the reason for the zero covid policy and lockdowns. best case scenario it's a flu season. they have a huge population. people living in close quarters, especially in crowded cities. worst-case scenario this is more of the power grab. this is exactly what the chinese government would want to do to suppress any sort of dissent or any opposition and this is the best way to do it. they become the infallible voice. charles: meantime the protests have been vocal than anything we've seen in a long time. we've seen creative forms of protests. the question everyone is asking will it make a difference? >> right. that is the best question to ask one of the global protests this is not just a global protest. a lot of media reports will tell us it is. that may have been the proverbial straw that broke the

xi-jinping was very clear in his october 16 work report to the 20th communist party of national congressere's no change in zero-covid. since then we've also heard lower officials actually talk about the same thing. no change to covid-19 rules. stuart: but gordon? i notice that the iphone factory , the foxconn factories, they have lots of new cases reported, but they've not locked it down. my interpretation is they cannot afford to stop iphone production the country can't afford it. now that's a limitation on zero- covid isn't it? >> well it is, but it's a very narrow limitation. so you know, you're talking about the province, the capitol, 5 million people now are under lockdown, because of handful of cases and we have seen this in recent days as well. you know, there are rumors that there will be a relaxation to all of zero covid by the end of march next year. we'll just have to see. we've heard these rumors before. they have not proved to be true, maybe this time, you would think so but we just have to wait. stuart: okay, the white house dodging questions on whether president biden will

reminded viewers what happened at the national party congress at the end of october and he is?> in late october the china communist party held its 20th party congress. they hold these meetings every five years to reappoint our select leaders xi jinping got a third term in power. previous leaders before him his predecessor they served two terms and then retired. he did not, he stayed on. then overturn the table in the process of that in that meeting and then others came over and it ways not voluntarily leaving. was slapping him in the face is not planned that way but read that way. >> have we seen him since? >> i do not know if we have seen him. we have seen flowers that he donated to a funeral of someone else who passed away. i do not think he has disappeared. he is already retired, elderly, no threat to xi jinping. my sense is he was confused on that stage. and they ended that very uncomfortably escorting him away. but the way we read it given xi' jinping's total grip on power as it looks much more like a power play. >> a couple minutes left in the. program. csis.org. marianne

during the 20th national congress last month, xi appointed what is being called a war cabinet. we know he's involved in the fastest military buildup since the second world war. but mobilizing the society for war. we know during his work report, a state of the union address, he didn't address critical domestic issues. that shows he doesn't have answers for those issues which he is considered responsible for. that means he is -- and during that talk he talked about china's position in the world. it looks like he wants to distract the chinese people by causing problems abroad to distract from domestic problems. >> is taiwan any safer than it was, i don't know, last month? >> one month, probably less safe since he made it very clear what he wants to do. he appeared before the chinese central military commission dress indeed camouflage talking about preparing for war. we have heard those comments before. but his comments actually sounded a little bit ununhinged when he discussed china's position in the world in terms it showed i think he wasn't in touch with reality. so we've got to

and we saw that at the 20th national congress. but the question is whether further dialogue is actually going to help, or whether it's going to make the situation worse. and we have had, especially over the last decade made the situation worse by talking to china in times when we should be imposing cause we got to show the chinese that we're serious about enforcing norms and behaviors and rules in the world. because if we don't do that, there's going to be a continued erosion. the world has gotten worse, lorne and we have to recognize that we're doing something wrong. now i'm not saying that 100 percent that if the abiding were to follow my advice, things would get better. but we know, do know that the policies that he has been implementing have in fact been making things worse. so let's try something that actually might work. golden chang. thank you so much, david told us. thank you, lauren. let's take a look at how things stand right now in the yes, mid terms. the senate is almost neck and neck, and the democrats have $48.00 sea

nation's request to see the delegate. as we continue to work on our obligations, i think it is important for congress to also look to these other requests. i know the cherokee nation was the focus of your report but has crs looked into whether other tribes have claim for some form of representation. if not, is that something that we could do? >> thank you. we have looked at the treaty provisions in the treaties that you mentioned. the treaty with the delawares of 1778, if it would be helpful i would like to read the way that that provision is worded. >> sure. >> the agreement in the treaty was to form a stay, whereas the delaware nation would be the had and have a representation in congress provided nothing contained in this article to be considered as conclusive until it meets with the operation of congress so that treaty provision first is slightly more dependent on congressional approval, then the wording of the new what showed a treaty. it also more expressly contemplates the creation of a state and that despite a could not create on its own. the treaty with the choctaw which is sometime referred to as the five years

capitol where the cherokee nation's fight to get a delegate in congress took a step forward today. 200rs after it was promised, they held a hearing about seating the cherokee's nation delegate. >>> this is the nation's delegate in congress should the proposal go forward. lawmakers at the hearing seem somewhat optimistic that even with republicans taking control of the house in january, a solution to this issue could be worked out. >> i personally believe we need to find a way to honor our nation. even though it will be a potentially challenging road. but we need to honor those treaty allegations. >> several others have come forward in recent years saying they are also entitled to a delegate. >>> and across the country now, hospitals are facing an unprecedented nursing shortage. norah o'donnell has more on the special report on tonight's cbs evening news. >> good evening, juliette. tonight on the cbs evening news after a kpix 5 news at 6:00, part ii of our reporting on america's nursing shortage. tonight, the solutions on how we can support the backbone of america's healthcare system. t

nation. i think in this role what they may do in this congress is a champion for all of indian company but we know there's parts of indian country are completely desolate when it comes to infrastructure for the parts of of cherokee nation it is lacking. to think united states can do a great deal more to close that gap but there is more work to do. >> i think that is what is key tahere. having a voice in this congress representation doesn't matter as i close i have not had an opportunity to speak with you before today to thank you. about the work that you have done in my district to ensure the migrant shelter for children you received the federal contract on that. might not have been there very welcome. for keeping to the contract the specific contract of what was called out to protect. i was there every week to make sure you are doing that. and you are there every week at the table ensuring we look at other shelters. look at the abuses from forcing children to take narcotics i called them drugs. sexualal violence against tender age children physical violence against children. we were both dil

the russian federation by the way, stalin could too to think that katya is going to the national people's congresseople are not offended, that's important, yes, and why. by the way, there are so many heroes of the soviet union among the ukrainians, among the jews, that's not proportionally more than the russians, not because the russians are not so brave, but because they were mobilized more carefully, well logically and of course there were more of them in the army, of course because they are simply absolutely absolutely, but in any case, these unfortunate buryats from these national fences, in fact, they only recovered after this decade, they were cleaned out again, it’s like this hedocide yes kateryna oliynyk good day. what do you think? how will the liberation of kherson affect the situation at the front? can the russians advance in the bahamian direction? why not? war is war. alleger komarlier. you can't say anything here. it can be both very optimistic and, to put it mildly, not very optimistic . it seems to me that the russians are now trying more to defend than to advance, and the initiati

even when you look at the new leaders he appointed to work with him going forward at the national people's congressrters. are really strong zero policy sweden-— supporters. that's right. xi jin - in: supporters. that's right. xi jinping has _ supporters. that's right. xi jinping has really latched i jinping has really latched himself to this policy. all of the state media reports about it, the writing about it, all identifies it as his policy, and that is really painting him into a corner now. that is why you have these remarkable scenes in china of protest is actually calling for xi jinping to step down, which would have been unimaginable in china a few months ago. and so he may be forced to change, but he has a record of being pretty stubborn, so we willjust have to see whether he actually will implement the changes that people are asking for. but as ou people are asking for. but as you say. _ people are asking for. but as you say. he _ people are asking for. but as you say. he is— people are asking for. but as you say, he is backed - people are asking for. but as you say, he is backed into i peo

host: remind viewers what happened at the national party congress at the end of october and to zhintou is. guest: in late october the communist party held its 20th party congress. they hold these meetings every five years. what was different about this one is xi jinping got a third term in power. previous leaders before him, his predecessor, they served host: terms and then retired. he did not. the rest of the politburo standing committee for all of his allies. he ran the table, and then he overturned the tables by upsetting these norms about how long you should stay in power and how leaders are selected. in the process of that, the predecessor who was sitting almost right next to him on the stage towards the end of this one-week conclave was upset about something, and others came over and escorted him away in a way that looked like he was not voluntarily leaving. that was read at xi jinping may be slapping him in the face and showing him things have fundamentally changed. it was probably not planned that way but it was certainly read that way by the rest of the world. host: have we se

congress and the nation and constituents in rhode island.ust understand the challenges that these passengers face from the curb to the gate and back again. to ensure the rights and safety of all airline passengers. i first would like to welcome my friend, representative jim of the great state of rhode island. i've had the privilege of serving with him on the armed services committee for the last 22 years and i know how committed he is to improving the lives of americans with disabilities and he is retiring at the end of the year. and so, i wanted to stop briefly and thank him for his long service to the u.s. congress and the nation and constituents in rhode island. the access act became law and prohibits discrimination in air travel trip the u.s. department issued regulations that required airlines to require excessive the lady features -- accessibility features and other aids. in congress should discuss how to modernize the laws language to meet current challenges facing disabilities -- patients with disbelief. and we look forward to hearin

issue unless republicans and democrats want to nationalize the debate and pass laws on a national level in congress. the democrats want to legislate and protect roe versus wade. republicans, it's a mixed bag there. but some want to pass legislation that will prohibit abortion on a national level. and that's a treacherous path because that's going to make an abortion a very, very hot issue for the next coming elections versus it just simply being a state by state issue. in arkansas, it was not a driving factor in the polls. >> it wasn't in arkansas. in the republican party on this issue -- and even you have expressed a certain viewpoint that would -- you know, personally, it sounds like you have supported the idea that exceptions should be placed around cases of rape and incest, even though when you had an opportunity as governor to prevent it, you did. you signed a snap back bill. how do you look back at that decision now, especially given how mobilizing this issue seems to be, you know, broadly? >> it is challenging, and the debate will be state by state of what the exceptions are. in arkansas, it
