responsibility is to be true to the data and also to be true to you know what someone like president also noro is doing he's kind of put up a big sign saying open season and that has led to this a lot of farmers and others to to to accelerate their their land grabs that is a real concern but the question for the world is how do you realistically work with brazil or with agriculture to slow that that pattern and a lot of this will have to do not so much with tweets going back and forth with most of our own but with steady pressure on working with brazilians of brazil's big agriculture industry to say hey you know from the eighty's i mean from 2004 until now you did a great job of growing more and more soybeans on less land meeting with less cutting lets what can we do to help you do that more and that i wrote a piece for national geographic that came out. some months back that really got into this the real opportunity and responsibility of those of us outside the amazon is to work constructively to see. what we can do to influence change on the ground and to you know some of the bo's'n are when

mr apologizes to also noro and joining us now to reach orient after some days that have left head spinning around the world is a senior asia pacific specialist at the institute for china american studies welcome back now. you know i just want to take a step minutes a step back from the drama and the alternately amusing or disconcerting headlines coming out about the u.s. china tariffs we had. just to recap we had president trump react strongly to what many saw as a mild or moderate chinese convert tariff with more u.s. tariffs he gives the hereby ordered says he's going to order u.s. businesses to leave china then he switches to 2nd thoughts at the g. 7 then he says his only regret is not raising tariffs higher then he says the chinese are eager to talk and then the chinese foreign minister denies this so my question is on the cultural aspect of this how does this erratic behavior and haphazard negotiating style look to the chinese are they questioning what an agreement with this man would ultimately be worth should they try to reach one and perhaps thinking with this counting situation li
