, the prc is dangerous for three reasons. first, it increases the risk of miscalculation, no one fully understands what is happening in china, on the one hand china seems to be unstoppable posing an exponential threat to peace and read him throughout asia and the region. the other hand internal problems like pending catastrophic debt and serious demographic challenges. the problem so many of our military, economic and business decisions depend on accurately judging china's trajectory, intentions, capabilities and more immediately where they're investing in what they are doing without an understanding of china's activities and intentions or overreact to any given signal, there is inherent dangers presented by miscalculation that can only be avoided by a better more thorough understanding of beijing's activities and intentions. second the less that we know about what's going on in china the greater the risk china's problems will become the world's problems if the last year end half has taught us anything it's that we live in a

prc is not only building a rival system of beijing-led institutions. designed to supplant in the existing order. but it's, also, weaponizing its influence in the united nations. to chip away at international resistance to chinese communist party priorities, like of course the belt and road initiative. and the censorship and surveillance of dissidents and minority groups. preventing the prc from subverting international institutions must be a central goal of the united states. ambassador, the prc is seeking to install its own candidates in leadership positions in key-u.n. bodies. i will say, that the trump administration successively -- successfully fended off a prc bid to take control of the u.n.'s world intellectual property organization. it was, i think, a major victory in the u.s. fight to end china's pervasive theft of international property. which is, frankly, a national-security threat. costing the united states between anywhere from between $225 and $600 billion, per year. what u.n. bodies does china prioritize in its attempt to coopt the organi

, and prc is a service providing organization.ovide all sorts of assistance to those in need from the lgbtq community as well as beyond. so, this pride brunch is an opportunity for us to meet the marshall, the grand marshals of the pride parade during years we had the parade . this year, we don't have a parade, but we have marshals. we always enjoy meeting them at the pride brunch. that is one i very much look forward too. that is tomorrow, in fact, and it will be a virtual event this year, and you can still become part of that by going to prcsf.com/pride2021 one dion. should i keep going on? >> why do we circle back to you because i want to get to everything we are going to talk about. jen, the mayor spoke about city funds being allocated to the lgbtq community, along with some exciting initiatives. can you touch upon any of those coming up? >> absolutely, the one that struck so many of us was allocated in the budget, $12 million i believe it is, for the new sf lgbtq museum, and a lot of people have been waiting funding for the n

i think when the prc goes after something, they tend to have their way. look, it's not a democracy it's a dictatorship. i keep thinking about the fbi and ransomware and what happened with colonial. how many have we not found out people must be paying ransom so, how about if the fbi goes to, say, the irs or goes to the justice department and says, we can't control this then they refer it to the federal reserve. the federal reserve doesn't want bitcoin. and then they decide, you know what, no moran some wear just like you don't pay for kidnapping next thing you know, instead of thinking bitcoin should go up, if it's outlawed, right, or if it's made tougher to be mining, bitcoin goes down. as if people are saying, i have to redeem. >> it's an interesting thing when less of something is being mined, it goes down as opposed to up. >> gold, you would say, less gold. >> closing down 90% of the gold mips would - >> how else could it go down >> your argument is china may be trying to crush it as a use case, period >> absolutely. look, chooib china -- president xi

prc is not only building a rifle system of beijing led institutions designed to supplant the existing order but also with amazing the influence in the united nations to chip away at international resistance to the communist party priorities like adults and road initiative and the censorship and surveillance and minority groups. preventing the prc from subverting international institutions must be a central goal of the united states. ambassador, the prc is seeking to install its own leadership position in key un bodies the trump administration successfully sent off the bed to take control of the intellectual property organization which i think is a major victory with this pervasive theft of international property which is a national security threat costing united states between 225 and $600 billion per year. what un bodies does china prioritize in the attempt to co-opt the organization and how do you continue our work to counter these efforts? >> thank you for the question. let me tell you that we are making every effort to fight against beijing maligned influence in the united nations

to remove the hong kong sar government, to overthrow the hong kong sar government and to drive the prcg, part of china. so i would say, let's call a spade a spade. there are political forces in hong kong, which for many years denied that hong kong is part of china. they want to return hong kong back to the british, which is impossible. they want to return hong kong to the americans. they wave american flags in the streets of hong kong. they try to raise the tensions between china and the united states, and there are forces in the united states which fuel these frenzies, so... all right, victor gao. .. ..let�*s call a spade a spade. ..we�*re almost out of time. you've lived through many different eras in your life in china. do you really believe that the chinese communist party's way of ruling right now... people around the world see it as deeply repressive, systematically repressive, is that sustainable for another 100 years? truly, i believe it will be for another 100 years and longer. why? because if there is any political party anywhere in the world, if there is any political party

you think that the prc is oblivious? of america not being protective of asian-americans. and i got to tell you, i don't think that we are. i think that they make a good point. i don't want that obviously. no one wants discrimination. but the chinese exploit whatever we do wrong. >> to your point about tsm, the couple headlines today, one is that they will give priority to the automakers and to apple as we come out of this -- or as we deal with the shortage and i know you mentioned the foundries, but global foundries is investing another $6 billion to expand production in singapore, germany and the u.s >> global foundries is an interesting company because they would tell you that the reason why we have a chip shortage for autos and these are called feature rich chips they call them, is because when you look at it, what is amd trying to do? high performance computing invidia? high performance computing intel, high performance computing. so what happens is that there is no one wants to do low performance computing. so if yo

i think across the board as you know, we can work to build a course of condemnation for what the prcis doing. to uighurs and other minorities. there have been joint actions and sanctions in coordination with the uk, with canada, with the european union that china has taken notice of given the reaction. we are focused as well try to make trip to the best of our ability that products made was forced labor cannot come here. we are working to open the eyes of other countries to that as well per the same time you want to make sure none of our companies are inadvertently or otherwise engaged in exporting technologies or products to be used in any way to perpetuate the repression of uighurs or anyone else. and all of this is in the works. we continue to look for ways to bring to bear meaningful pressure on china to change its practices to stop the repression of uighurs and others. >> it seems like it is accelerating unfortunately feta step it up even more, so thank you. now i understand the stateur department has a number of useful resources to counter this information. i know a number of t

you are exactly right that both with regard to who and with regard to the prc government, from day one we have seen a tremendous deficit in meeting the responsibilities that they should have been meeting, particularly with regard to the government in beijing. transparency, information sharing, access for experts, none of that happened early on when you could have made a difference. -- when it could have made a difference. even with the phase i one report done by the who, we have deep reservations about the methodology and the lack of appropriate access and information sharing. that is why the phase two report needs to go forward to see if it can get to the bottom of what happened. if we cannot get to the bottom of what happened, it will make it more difficult to put in place the measures needed to hopefully prevent and certainly to better deal with the next pandemic. that is also profoundly in china's interest. what you are seeing around the world is growing concern, focus on the need for countries, starting with china, to step up to their responsibilities. that is what we are looking

continue to express our strong concerns to beijing in that regard and also our concerns about the prc'sintimidate others in the region. maria: so general, i mean, she says we'll continue to voice our concern over taiwan to china. have we done that even once? >> yes, yes, we have. we have voiced our concern. we made public statements to that effect and it's not surprising that the japanese are very concerned here. for all the obvious reasons, that their proximity to taiwan. if president xi takes over taiwan he gets a huge high tech platform which we're all familiar with. he gets an extraordinary strategic military base that taiwan would he provide to him from which he can encroach on japan and that is why japan is so concerned and speaking out more than they have been to date and that is the issue. you know, in my mind in 1979 when the deal was made over taiwan, the one china policy, and we moved relationships with taiwan officially and opened relationships with china, this was all done by the carter administration, support for taiwan was a public declaration providing arms for them and
