you would create a massive crisis on that peninsula and on the whole of north asia. rump has said he will take on north korea. this is really frightening about what has happened in syria. trump has done a 180 on his policy towards syria in a matter of days and has done things where he has condemned others. north korea is a much more geopolitically menacing presence. simple solutions to that problem not going to work and will create a domino effect. you have to hope that trump got that message. china can sit quiet over syria despite it being an ally. they cannot sit quiet over north korea. that is right on the border and there is no easy solution in north korea. do you want the collapse of north korea? north korea does not want that and borders china or south korea. china doesn't want south korea on its border. south korea doesn't want to pick up the mess. rachel, how do you see it? i found this meeting was interesting in terms of reminding me about the meeting with angela merkel. trump has been dissing china throughout his campaign. terrible china, responsible for ame

our survey some opportunities in north asia as well at the moment. betty: i'm curious.n what is happening jgb at the moment in the market and a yields falling back down below zero. when you see this headline, it was almost inevitable, watching where yields have been headed. what do you make of that? >> you have to see where we have come from. obviously, six months ago or nine-month ago, at the bottom of the inflation story, yields are much lower than where they were today. we are giving of the gains we have seen across yields and credit markets. i think the market is now waiting to see if the growth globally is sustainable in the coming months. one of the premises, which we have to remember in the coming years is actually an extension of fiscal policy and markets. it is still the early phase of the process. to ank we are moving expenditure fiscal policy to create jobs and growth. that is longtailed in nature. betty: if you get that right, you can certainly profit from that. andrew, one area or industry, i guess, you say is overlooked might be the chinese banks. you say

there was an aircraft carrier being diverted in the last day or so towards north asia, no specific locationbut the u.s. navy saying it is being diverted to protect american assets in the region. north korea does remain the number one threat, and the head of the national security council under trump saying this is a rogue regime. we have heard that again. the u.s. wants north korea to step away from the nuclear program. that is clear. they say they can look at talks if that were to happen, but we are a long way from that. it is so central to kim jong-un's power and strategy and focus, it is central to him. the idea of walking vaccines far-fetched at the moment. china apostasy talks between all the parties involved. -- once to see talks between all the parties involved. the u.s. does not have a clear strategy on north korea. syriaa and the strike, -- and a strike, such a different message with the artillery barrage it could unleash on se oul. there is no clarity on what the chinese and u.s. positions are and whether they can get close. ramy: thank you very much, reporting from beijing. and he

going to commit military force in the middle east, he knows that we're not going to do very much in north asiavocation against south korea. that's how these things really sort of spread from one region to the other. this looks like 1914 when things get out of control. >> shepard: is that how it feels? >> very much so. clearly two predecessors dealt him a bad hand. you have a situation right now that is volatile. anything can happen. that is the reason write the chinese president is consequential. they'll have a discussion about the use of force in north korea. >> a korean war, another korean war, could be the death of millions. >> clearly. you have 25 million south koreans that live in seoul. north korea has the world's fourth largest army. about 70% of that army is for warned deployed by the dmz. they have high explosives, chemical weapons, biological agents and nukes. the casualties on the first hours would be in the hundreds of thousands. you talk about a full scare war, we have never seen anything like this before. >> shepard: and china can help us how? >> china can help us. they can cut o

so, i see the crisis in north asia getting much worse as beijing does not come to the table. >> all right. when we talk about the sanctions and having secondary sanctions and having the banks and china, everybody does business with north korea, does that not have an impact even on commerce here in the united states? because so many people in the united states do business with china. >> well, it certainly will have an impact on commerce with china because the chinese will retaliate and they probably will go after u.s. companies doing business in china. but we actually hold the upper hand because we don't have an economy that is geared to selling things to china, whereas china has an economy geared to selling things to the united states. we ran a $347 billion trade deficit with china last year, and that really gives us the upper hand. trump doesn't want to use it, understandable, but nonetheless, if you believe that the north koreans pose an essential threat to the u.s., we will do whatever is possible including sanctioning chinese banks and enterprises. >> i would bet my right arm tonight
