and also since eating ping came to power. and increasingly, what we're seeing is china is wielding its economic might to bully other countries to coerce of a governments and businesses and individuals. and as china becomes even stronger and even more powerful, we're going to see more and more of this type of economic. however, in, in the whole of asia and, and around the rest of the world. and that's going to cause a lot of tension, hostility, distrust, and conflict soon. wong, thank you so much for joining us. and once again, do check out her podcast. it is absolutely excellent. thanks. melissa, mongolia, landlocked and sandwiched between russia and china, has had a difficult line to walk over the past year, dependent on both powers, yet needing to hedge one against the other. as a result, it has generally opted for what's called a non aligned position on the international stage. in other words, don't make us pick sides. he doubly had the chance to sit down with prime minister with some strong oh, you know, darren and ask hi

g. ping is radically different from the china of who jan tower jones of men and even dung shall ping then take my word for it. read the 20th party congress report. it talks about the shin, should i a new era? and the law, should i the old era, was that 2535 years of guy go ok. fun reform an opening. so this is a brand new china domestically and a more assertive china internationally has this surprised you was there a moment where you realised that things were not going in the direction now a lot of people anticipated. i think there are 2 things which stand out for may 1 on pure politics. now if you look carefully at she jan ping's leaked speech on ideology and propaganda. in july of 2013, this is and, and i looted her no holds barred. ah, knock them down, knock them down, drag them out, fight with every thing that the west and united states in the democratic world holds to be near and dear in terms of freedom and the international order based on that. and when it was leaked became very plain that she can ping was taken completely different course on the international system. and seco

which means that she, jim ping, has taken control of everything. oh, she did, he didn't on corner you tick. the authoritarian, she has taken a hard line approach to china's relations with the west, particularly over self rule taiwan. she wants taiwan to revert to beijing's rule by 2049, the century, the foundation of the people's republic. he's not rude. i'm taking the island by force. his reluctance to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine has antagonized the west and his efforts to grab territory in the south. china sea have angered china's neighbor is our ideal relations with the united states or at their lowest ebb for years. while tensions between the you and china could escalate if she strengthens his commitment to a confrontational foreign policy. while the rest of the world is easing cove, at 19 restrictions, china authorities have intensified their efforts to contain outbreaks with strict locked downs mass testing and lengthy quarantines. the 0 covered approach is one of she's landmark policies. it's also turning into the most potent test o

now if you look carefully at she jan pings leaked speech on ideology and propaganda. in july of 2013, this is and, and i looted her no holds barred. ah, knock them down, knock them down, drag them out, fight with every thing that the west and united states in the democratic world holds to be near and dear in terms of freedom and the international order based on that. and when it was leaked became very plain that she, jan ping was taking a completely different course on the international system. and secondly, the reassertion of max's lyndhurst ideology. because the, his conclusion in that speech was that the loss of the centrality of marxist leninism was what actually caused the decline of the communist party, the soviet union, and the collapse of the soviet union altogether. so that was a big one. and after 2017 and the 19th party congress, there was a shift on economic audiology as well. now, it's almost a cottage industry in the foreign affairs world in terms of prognostications with china or the coming collapse of china and so on, so forth. but she is facing headwi

she jim ping, few things very much in ideological terms. and this has become part and parcel of his rule of his ethos. so he's very much am pushing the 0 covert policy and, and the effect that that might have in the economy is only secondary to him. where any 0 cove it is kind of anti science. and that really begs the question of like, there really are no challengers to him, are there to, to question his policies or anything like that? no, i mean we've had, we had an incident where there was a protest in beijing recently with someone hanging a banner and that was just in the last couple of days. and, but that was presumably an isolated incident a few weeks ago. yeah. there were strong rumors about m a possible coo and those things emerge every single time that there's a period of radio silence coming from from the government headquarters am. but there doesn't seem to be any one normally you would expect to hear of someone who is emerging as a challenger. we had both. she lie in the run up 10 years ago when am when i, when she jumping took p

what's important to understand about c, g ping is that he's driven by paola. he's incredibly ambitious. he has the sense of entitlement and an understanding of chinese history and he's also motivated by china's future. so what do i mean by this? he had an incredibly traumatic childhood, even though he was born into communist potty royalty when he was 9 years old. his dad was purged and he was attacked and given 5 minutes to live by moussa dongs mobs, he was then sent to leave in the country side for 7 years in a cave. so he had this really scarring childhood and that has really shaped who he is because while millions of his generation thought that's it, i'm done with china because they had that or that, that similar experience. what makes you shipping really interesting is that he had a different takeaway and what he realized was, what he decided was that in most of the chinese communist party in and of itself was bad. even though it had inflicted all that trauma on to so many millions of chinese what he decided joel, that he would prioritize control above all

it's secured, she jim pings 3rd leadership term. for more on this, i'm joined by guido caught the he's professor of macroeconomics at the university of st gallon in switzerland heater. thanks for coming back to the show on the, on the facebook, the seems like a positive development. it does china's economy beat expectations, but these numbers are still quite down from what we expect from.

she's in ping showing that he was the person in command. and that ultimately from here on in this is the, you know, it's his man and they are all man, even though 30 percent to come is party as female. there's no women in any senior leaders ship positions. so what we're seeing now is the, she's paying era, weedy, going into overdrive and it becomes a question of how we deal with these challenges facing the party d, w, china analyst. clifford coon and many, many things. clifford of our top story, thousands are rallying here in berlin in support of the protest in iran. they're calling for justice in freedom for runs people and international sanctions against the regime. security forces in iran have made more arrest, will have to and that there are documentary film can't pay, won't pay is up next with a look at taxation and politics. i'm michael. ok. i'll be back with more news at the top of the next hour. i have been i have been visit because we try to show 30 of faith over the world. environmentalists are in danger. ruthless corporations cor

she shing ping. he's poised her clenching. 3rd term as a parti chief, making him china's most powerful leader since mel se tongue opening china's 20th communist party congress last weekend. president eden pings set out his vision for the country's future, and implied here to be the one at the helm to make it happen. my only about from ball comrades by new me, the party has made spectacular achievements through its great endeavors over the past century. the yet sure, and our new endeavors will surely lead to more spectacular achievements. but china's seemingly infallible leader had humble beginnings. she was born in beijing in 1953, the son of a high ranking party official. but in the 19th sixty's, his father fell fowl of chairman mao and the communist leadership and was thrown into prison. the young she was sent to the countryside for political reeducation and hard labor for 7 years. but instead of turning against the communist party, he embraced it and worked hard to rise to the top. in november 201

yeah, so it's very clear that em, they're sitting, ping will pursue it's m foreign policy goals. very confidently. are awesome. aggressively with is a wolf laureate rhetoric, and i'm expecting that a sheeting pink will not tolerate any external criticism. will not a want to deal with a criticism m. so basically a continuation what we've already seen in the last 2 years. thank you. that's fabi in touch miss speaking to us in beijing. well, let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. turkish president wrote a typo to one once a nationwide referendum on guaranteeing the rights of women to where i had scoffed in public buildings. edwin's party, the a k. p is preparing a new draft constitution to put before parliament if it were determined ago. thousands of people have taken to the streets of columbia's capital bogota to protest the government's proposed tax reforms. the draft would raise taxes on the upper classes to pay for social programs. president gustavo petros, leftist government has promised to increase spending for education, health, and agricu

k. against chinese liter sheeting ping and the communist party has spun into a high level diplomatic route. people outside the chinese consulate in manchester, many of them from hong kong, were accosted by chinese officials beaten, and in one case dragged into the grounds of the consulate. ah, around 40 people, including hong kong, exiles and britain, were protesting outside the consulate in manchester. the demo was aim to coincide with the communist parties twice a decade. congress in beijing at which he camping is set to secure an unprecedented 3rd leadership term. things escalated quickly for to chose a man in a bray, apparently consul general jung, show you an approach the protest and kicked down a pro democracy sign. does a flurry of movement and scuffles at the consulate gates. oh, the police arrive and tried to break up the ruckus. i don't we see a protester on the ground inside the consulate being kicked and punched by a group of men. oh, he's then broad eyed by british police and fellow demonstrators. i later at a press conference with british parliamentarians, the victim of

he didn't want to em, except the historic 3rd term of shooting ping. but to be honest, we don't know, and probably we will never know the truth behind it because of the opaque system. but it was clearly historic matter for the images were remarkable. it gave you a sense of the old china personified by huge and towel leaving and making space for the new era under sheeting ping. that was correspond in correspondence, fabi and customer in beijing. fabian, thanks so much in other news. now russia is sounding the alarm again. to civilians living in the occupied region of her son, ukrainian forces are advancing on the southern front to retake the territory. the kremlin has been pushing civilians to leave the parts, of course, on it controls, taking them to russia or other occupied areas, but removing civilians from their homes to enemy held land is a war crime elsewhere across ukraine. roches attacks on infrastructure have cause blackouts and water shortages authority say millions of people who are without power and they're asking those who still have it to

this week president gigi pings grip on china is tighter than ever before. and he's pledged to cement his country's power and influence in the world. the economy is weakening, county fix it. also this week china's leader wants to place his country as a leader in technology bought in his choking off it's access to advanced semiconductors class chinese electric vehicle market is booming to why is beijing so far ahead of the u. s. europe in adopting the technology. ah, when jean ping assumed power in 2012, china's economy walls booming a decade later that growth is being dragged down by strict cove at 19 carbs and a deepening property crisis. our critics of the chinese leader mainly blame the weakening economy on his policies. yes, easing ping has given few signs of changing his approach off to consolidating his hold on power. she insists the economy is resilient, and as promised to deepen economic ties with other countries, as he begins an unprecedented 3rd term as leader of the communist party. susie 5, yes, she also and justice china can't develop in isolati

but of course, a seating ping did not care too much about that any more. he also appointed an people who are already older than that. and that gives you an idea that you know, he feels so an hour, his grip on power. so firm that he doesn't really need to care about those old rules. so far beyond the question, all political observers were asking, today is, what is this mean for china's future? what am, let me point out a 2 aspects, for example, the economy and the most likely a future prime minister will be leach young bits are the 2nd most powerful man in china right now. and what did he do? he served as the mayor in shanghai when the city impostor biggest corporate locked on in history of the spring. and yet he did so by being very loyal. he followed orders of paging, but he did a lot of damage. and to the most wealthy and most economic am powerful city of the country. so for example, if you're an international company here in china or i don't think that's very reassuring message that you know, a very dogmatic leader who yeah, dealt such a blow to shangha

the president cheating ping's grip on power would now appear absolute. if he has enemies, then they're hidden or unknown, or both. but some of those who chronicled, she's curious, say, you don't get to the top of chinese politics without the eliminating rivals and making enemies. he does, but it needs to be said that the congress has an act of state pageantry. the fact that this congress is happening means that these rivals have already been largely pushed to the sidelines after becoming communist party chief a decade ago. she vowed to route out dishonest officials, both high ranking tigers and low level flies. the campaign went down well with the public, especially when it in snared powerful and wealthy figures. bocce eli was the rising star of chinese politics. even tip as a future president. but within months of he becoming leader bo was serving a life sentence for corruption and abuse of power. no one was untouchable, including john kang, the man who would be in charge of state security. he's also serving a life term for corruption and disclosure of

she jin ping is everywhere. the leader who brought poverty under control and saved lives during the pan, the self styled savior of china, and a rising east. now navigating his way far too easily through a media space under his party's almost complete control. but also, it tells you how insecure that sheet in paying out of the home is a party. is there afraid of any slightest criticism about the current situation? i can see this coming party congress. it's probably isn't that of his power. he's going to face the potential opposition in different sectors of society, particularly in chinese in lees. he's becoming a powerful, by the same time, very insecure a dictator in china with many fading policies, but also a very strong can pass the to control the society and a control party. me. trading in conspiracy theories can be an expensive proposition. as alex jones, the american face of the info wars platform can now attest the price close to $1000000000.00. flow phillips is here with the latest on the legal case again

and under the leadership of, she's in ping. it has dramatically expanded its presence here. hundreds of chinese navient coast guard vessels, petrol, the waters, swarming reefs, and harassing and attacking filipino votes. 6 years ago the philippines brought a case against china before an international court. a tribunal ruled that beijing had been unlawful in its occupation of filipino fishing grounds. but china has ignored the ruling. china's land grab has robbed christopher de vera of a large part of his income as he and all as i get them. agatha not being allowed to fish there is hurting me. imagine they are the early ones allowed to fish inside the shoulders. and even though the scarborough shoal is ours is i'm a palace oh, sobbing youngest got award was held on the lease that young on top of that chinese clam harvest. does have destroyed the coral on the reef and decimated, fish stocks to vera says, you know, but despite that, some members of his crew have gone fishing now under the cover of darkness lugging up to top up the

and worked hard to rise to the top in november 2012, the relatively unknown sheet and ping was named general secretary of the communist party. a few months later he succeeded huge in town as president of the people's republic of china. and by the end of, she's 1st 5 year term, the communist party congress voted to have his philosophy written into the constitution. the only other leader to have the same honor is the father of chinese communism. mouser dung. since taking office, she has set about pursuing what he hailed as the chinese dream, to turn china into the world's dominant power under she, china has become more assertive on the international stage, fueled by growing patriotism at home. much of it based around teaching ping's image as china's strong man. but she has also overseen increased limitations on freedoms, expanding online censorship, and cracking down on opposition, voices, and legal documents, links she directly to human rights abuses against the muslim minority weakest. in 2018, the to term limits on the presidency was removed effectively, allowing she to remain in po

g ping is expected to win a 3rd term as the parties. general secretary amassing more power than any chinese leader since miles dawn. but mister, she must take on some difficult tasks, especially the economic instability of the country. the chinese economy is facing extreme turbulence in the 2nd quarter. the economy grew by just 0.4 percent compared with the same period in 2021. the world bank has also lowered forecasts for this year from 5 to 2.8 percent. the biggest reason for this is the government's rigid 0 covert policy. several cities and different regions are still in complete or partial lockdown. they are responsible for 30 percent of china's g d p growth. now as a consequence of the locked downs, residents are buying less products. factories and ports remain closed and supply chains remain this dirt. now let's take a closer look here. what's at stake at the party congress? and for china overall with d, w, a, china analyst, clifford conan here in the studio. and with york book him, he's the head of the you chamber and com or of c

in g, ping's speech yesterday was all about audiology lining the country behind him. it's this week as a victory left for him, so there was nothing that's going to disturb the masses. so there was not much on specifics there when it comes to business. i think there are more worries for us. the good news particular, the topic about self reliance, china feeling the heat from u. s. and trying to basically become less dependent globalization. and hence that's all good news for us. and clifford over to you, china state, and part of either says, we're going to stick with the 0 covert strategy. jumping has hailed this as a success. why does he want to stick to that if it's so detrimental to the country's economy? well, at this stage it's, it's a policy that he will be judged on because he started early and he did have early successes. now there's no scientific reason or very few scientific reasons. it's just to infectious the all micron variant. so the reason he's staying with it is because he kind of, he's stuck with it now. politically, it's very important that he stays wi

see jean ping mean for this economy? well, this will bring stability on the other side. i think that it may reduce a novice even us and dynamism because it is also a little bit paradoxical that a constitutional in a close only to 2 mandates as being overthrown by by a very strong leader. meaning it wasn't so strong. and so the signal is that the county is a gene and is not the rejuvenating. so this confirms many economy expectations are the country having towards the middle in contract outside investment has been falling in china by some measures. should we expect to see beijing try and learn that back now that she is in place? yes, of course. of course they will. they also will try to do so some and some issues related to, to code that the i think they're still struggling on that. especially because a lot of the over eighty's are not the at vaccinated. so my impression is that perhaps this ability will, will bring about policies jumping, didn't have the courage to take it in the past few months. all right, let's get a quote. see at the university of st. gahlan and switz

is she doing ping invincible. now do you think it's enough to send within anywhere within the ranks for him to face any pressure? i think at this stage after 10 years and it's been a process of gradual centralization and consolidation. i think at this stage, particularly with the new members of the politburo, he's basically solidified all the main influence of power, both political, diplomatic, military. so i think for the next 5 years, definitely that he has that i can say was pretty much he does not have any, any opposition or serious opposition, or a sake of fragment of people with the party who can challenge him at the stage. and i agree, mean this probably says a 3rd, but don't underestimate visibility. bring on potential, even a 4th term. so i think he as long as he still is alive, he'll be in power as long as he wants to stay in power. and i know we're talking about the politics, hair, and power politics at the top. what is all this made for the ordinary chinese person from a city dweller to somebody's livi

we have noted she jan, ping's intimidation against taiwan at china's 20th party congress. i talked phenomena as ish, she took from our perspective, tie one stands at the center of the rivalry between systems. i mean, not only verbal attacks on taiwan, but a real military threats that we must not underestimate. i want to emphasize that from germany's perspective, the status quo in the taiwan street can only be altered peacefully and in agreement between the 2 sides that been counter professor steve's song. it's interesting that this german delegation came at this particular time. what message, if any, does this into china and is this a trip to taiwan that beijing would take much notice of? well, paging was certainly take notice and pages will disapprove of it. but what's the delegation is saying are absolutely right. that is how it should be able not go down well in china. and the chinese government should realize that full a german from delegation from germany, which is very committed to the rather mutually beneficial relationship with china, to come out and say so shows h

she ging, ping's vision for the next 5 years and strengthen his grip on this global superpower. ah, a watching dw news coming up next, bulled stories, including a report on ukrainian army preparations to retake the southern city of hiss on that's coming up after a short break. i'm at the house. i'll be back with another bulletin in 45 minutes. ah, devastated houses of the hurricane william awesome cars carried defects of climate change are being felt worldwide. deforestation in the rain forest continued carbon dioxide emissions have risen again.
