-prc university programs in china. i heard how the experience has deepened their knowledge inside and outside the classroom and forged ties that will last well beyond their shared educational experience. while there are more than 290,000 chinese students in the united states there are fewer than 900 americans studying here in china and that's a significant drop from a decade ago when we had about 15,000 americans studying here. president xi said he wants to significantly increase the number of americans studying here in the coming years and that's something that we support . we have an interest in this, because if our future leaders, whether the government or in business or in civil society, claimant, tech and other fields, if they are going to be able to collaborate, if they are going to be able to solve big problems, if they are going to be able to work through our differences, they will need to know and understand each other, language, culture, history. what i told my prc counterparts on this visit, is if they want

i also expressed my concern about the prc's trade policies.f global demand for these items. it is putting at risk the livelihoods and businesses around the world. this is a movie that we have seen before. and we know how it ends. it ends in americanjobs being lost. president biden will not let this happen on his watch. we will do what is necessary to ensure that american weapons can compete on a level playing field. we do not want to hold back china's development, because that would be disastrous for the global economy including for the united states. we want to china's economy to grow. we want american businesses and investors here to flourish but the way china grows matters. that means fostering a healthy economic relationship where american workers and firms are treated equally and fairly. in those meetings, i discussed the prc's dangerous actions in the south china sea. freedom of navigation is important in these waterways. it is very important to every nation in the pacific. we have expressed concern about the prc's maritime manoeuvres. 0

prc counter narcotics working group. exchanging information on money laundering as it relates to trafficking of fentanyl and other illicit synthetic drugs can help us disrupt the flow of illicit narcotics, precursor chemicals, and equipment. the opioid at the adamic is a crisis that affects every community in the united states, large or small. with more than 150 americans dying each day. treasury is committed to using all of our tolls -- tools to counter this threat. third, we are announcing we will continue a series of financial technical exchanges between the united states and china. just like military leaders need a hotline in crisis, american and chinese financial regulators must be able to communicate to prevent financial stresses from turning into crises with tremendous ramifications for our citizens in the international community. over the past few months, we have hosted several exercises with china, including on how we would coordinate if there were to be a failure of a large bank in either of our countries. i'm

world. trying to soften my landing in beijing, where blinken had negotiations with the head of the prceign ministry in wang yi in the states they really hoped to set china against moscow on the ukrainian issue, especially against the backdrop of putin’s upcoming visit to the prc. otherwise, for supporting russia, washington threatens to cut off chinese banks from the global financial system, beijing will answer harshly, there is no need to meddle in other people’s relations. the same applies to the taiwan issue, just before the visit of blinken senats. the us has allocated an additional $8 billion for military help to taipei. china advises the states to decide who is beijing for them, a rival or a partner; this issue is called fundamental here, in which catastrophic mistakes cannot be made, because the consequences of a trade war between the two largest economies will affect not only bilateral relations, but the entire world. trade barriers, unilateral sanctions, and increased tariffs on chinese goods are called a mockery in beijing. violation of wto rules. the states are calling on eu

and prc defense officials met for two days at the pentagon in january. earlier this month our two countries air and naval forces held talks aimed at ensuring safer interactions. last week secretary austin first call with minister of defense. direct, open, clear lines of communication like these are critical to avoiding miscalculations. i'm please pleased to announce that earlier today we agreed to hold the first us-prc talks on artificial intelligence to be held in the coming weeks. we'll share our peppive views on the risks and safety against ai and how best to manage them. we also spoke about ways that we continue to grow people-to-people ties between our countries. particularly educational exchanges. our governments have a vested interest in creating own and welcoming conditions for these programs, which have long enriched both of our countries. do you know i had a chance to meet yesterday with a few dozen american and chinese students who are learning side by side at the nyu shanghai high program and as well as other other joint prc university progra

after all, the prc does enough of that itself. chinese citizens are banned from accessing tiktok at all. no matter how loudly tiktok's apologists claim that reining in the influence violates the first amendment, the question we'll face is about conduct, not con content. i take a backseat to no one when it comes to protecting first americans rights -- first amendment rights. i've firmly defended america's right to even the most noxious forms of free speech, like flag burning. but there's a serious difference between the views americans might express on tiktok and the actions taken by a platform that's beholden to our foremost strategic competitor. let me borrow an analogy from someone who's been relentless on this issue, fcc commissioner brendan carr. here's what he had to say -- you can use a pen to write salacious anti-american prop can candiesa -- propaganda and the government can't censor that content, nor stop americans from seeking such messages out. but, if you use the same pen to pick a lock to steal somebody else's propert

facing russia and terrorism, for the first time in nato's history the strategic concept mentions the prc challenges associated with the prc form nato member states and the importance of keeping our partnership withs, our friends n the indo pacific. why is nato doing this? does this have aspirations to become a d global alliance and members in the indo pacific? absolutely not. that's not thers plan. our indo pacific partners don't have an interest in joining the alliance and the alliance is not looking to go global but what we see is increased utility in working together with their friends in the indo pacific on the number of shared security challenges that really have no geographic boundaries. disinformation, malicious cyber attack more emerging and disruptive technology. we be viewed these security challenges increasingly in one theater and not limited to just the atlantic or the pacific so nato is moving out while it's focused on the war in ukraine. it is moving out to deepen its important or partnerships with their friendsep to share best practices on those challenges. finally nato wh

day, they don't owe their obligation to their customers or their shareholders, but they owe it to the prc government. in the context of social media platforms used by nearly half of americans, it's not hard to imagine how a platform that facilitates so much commerce, political discourse, and social debate could be covertly manipulated to serve the goals of an authoritarian regime, one with a long track record of censorship, transnational aggression and promotion of disinformation. in recent weeks, we've seen direct lobbying by the chinese government indicating perhaps more than anything we can say on the floor here how dearly xi jinping is invested in this product, a product, by the way, that's not even allowed to operate in the chinese domestic market itself. story after story over the last 18 months has exposed the extent to which tiktok has grossly misrepresented its data security and corporate government practice. countless stories have refuted the claims made by tiktok executives and lobbyists that it operates independently from its controlling company, bytedance. we've also seen doc

the prc leadership made it clear that this is not how things are done with beijing.lexander has all the details balitsky. blinken, of course, wanted to talk about the results of the negotiations in the status of a winner, but it was not possible to win beijing over to his side during his 3-day stay; they even wrote particularly gloating ones. the secretary of state was furious, threw a tantrum, maybe they embellished it, but not too much; before leaving for the airport, the chief of the state department dumped a new batch of threats on the chinese for theirs. agreement to support moscow in the ukrainian conflict. on the us side, we have already imposed sanctions against more than a hundred chinese legal entities, export controls, and so on. and we fully ready to act and take new measures. new measures mean new sanctions and harsh pressure, but a couple of hours before, blinken was still courteous and even polite, shaking hands with the head of the prc and assured that he was here to continue the dialogue on biden’s instructions, let him fasten at least one button, on

and brussels, but so that business in china continues to make money, the answer of the head of the prc with beijing, europe needs to look for points of contact. human society faces numerous risks and problems, these problems cannot be solved without cooperation between major countries. in brussels, ahead of tomorrow's eu summit, where ukraine will once again be in the spotlight, they are actively discussing how to win china over to their side in this conflict. even before the meeting with the head of the people's republic of china, the chancellor managed to declare that he would persuade xi to refuse support from moscow. the loud announcement following the negotiations resulted in several lines. chairman xi and i agreed. china and germany are committed to intensively and positively coordinating efforts to promote the high-level conference in switzerland and future international peace conferences. the statement of the chinese foreign ministry is word for word about efforts to search for political solutions and even switzerland, but there is a nuance. scholz assures that beijing agrees t

the russian foreign ministry stated that there is direct interference in the affairs of the prc, becauseeres to the policy of one china, that is, on paper it recognizes taiwan as part of the prc, but at the same time supplies. weapons, money, unofficial trips of senators and officials and fairly unambiguous rhetoric. military assistance to taiwan is direct interference in china's internal affairs. will this bring more stability to the region? the united states walks through it as if it were its own home, which causes a large number of crises, including , of course, will not bring any greater security. the trends will be exactly the opposite, but as for the supply of weapons to israel, everything, the whole world, the entire world community, i mean, of course, the world the majority demands an end to the escalation, demands a stop to the bloodshed, against this background the united states is only adding weapons to the region, which will, of course, unfortunately, lead to a worsening of the situation. well, what is typical is that a whole group of influential republican congressmen, inclu

of the trip , the american secretary of state promised to bring with him the clearest warning to the prc, but finding himself face to face with shizen pin, suddenly talked about the importance of diplomacy. glad to be back in beijing, president biden has asked me to come here to continue to look for areas to deepen our cooperation and bridge the differences that exist between us. trying to soften his landing in beijing, where blinken had negotiations with the head of the prc foreign ministry, vani, in the states. they really hoped to set china against moscow on the ukrainian issue, especially against the backdrop of putin’s upcoming visit to the prc. otherwise, for supporting russia, washington threatens to cut off chinese banks from the world financial system. beijing responds harshly; there is no need to meddle in other people's relationships. the same applies to the taiwan issue. just before blinken's visit, the us senate allocated an additional $8 billion in military aid to taipei. countries should be partners, not adversaries, we should achieve mutual success, and not harm each othe

eastern economic giant, and before traveling to china, how... demanding germany turn away from the prcng dependence on beijing and calls on countries the eu to impose additional tariffs on the import of chinese goods, to find a balance in all this, scholz tried to walk with the head of the prc through the flowering garden, the state residence. mister chancellor, welcome to china, this is in the spring, when everything will return to life, before as long as both parties, maintaining mutual respect, are looking. common language, while maintaining differences, deepening exchanges and achieving win-win results, they will certainly move forward steadily. german business also insists on the harmonious development of relations with china without china; the export-oriented german economy is unlikely to survive at all, especially since it is already virtually paralyzed. the forecast for gdp growth fell to 2%, industrial production by 5.5, while the opposition. stop subsidizing production cars, green technologies, solar panels and wind turbines on such a scale, trying not to offend anyone, schol

or more precisely, to persuade the prc to side.ositions itself as the economic locomotive of europe and understands that without china, this locomotive will remain in the depot. don't forget that 30% of industrial gdp comes from china. germany can offer a lot of technology, this is how we develop our economies. and in the future, i think we have the next stage ahead, the introduction of new productive forces at a higher level. therefore, together with scholz, a delegation from a large german businesses from siemс to bayar, chinese publications even depicted the supposed seating arrangement on the plane; the closer to business class, the more important the projects and the higher the expectations. and it turns out that scholz came to make peace, because last year germany adopted its first ever strategy on china, where it indicated that china poses a serious threat to german interests. here is the terrible elephant of germany, the famous german automobile industry, chinese electric cars, which are rapidly conquering world markets, ca

adheres to the one china policy, that is, on paper it recognizes taiwan as part of the prc, but at theplies of weapons, money, unofficial trips of senators and officials and rather unambiguous rhetoric. military assistance to taiwan is direct. i mean, of course, the world majority demands a stop to the escalation, demands a stop to the bloodshed, against this background the united states is only adding weapons to the region, which will, of course, unfortunately, lead to a worsening of the situation. so what typically, a whole group of influential republican congressmen, including house speaker mike johnson , were initially against the foreign military assistance bill. but then there was a sharp turn, which also had political consequences in america itself? those opponents of the current administration, who, represented by the republicans , sit in the house of representatives, they managed, well, firstly, to divide the package into its component parts, separately voting on ukraine, separately on israel, and they must make a decision, i want to note that launchers without missiles are us

the meeting with the head of the prc as a logical finale of sergei lavrov’s negotiations in china ande that beijing attaches to dialogue with moscow, the russian minister, whom sidzenping called a great friend of the chinese people, conveys greetings from vladimir putin to the prc chairman, today’s bilateral relations are largely the merit of our leaders countries at their core. mutual support in matters which affect the fundamental interests of our states. trade turnover is breaking new records, the project has started. china will continue to support russia's stable development, the chinese will say , focusing on the ukrainian crisis. chinese friends clearly state the need to take legal considerations into account. what the west is trying to imagine, moscow and kiev were pushed against each other by washington, and the ultimate goal is to weaken, first russia, and then china. just the day before, the head of the american ministry of finance , ellen, promised tough sanctions to chinese banks if they continue to work with moscow, before that they threatened chinese companies, there is

new document emphasizes the course towards competition, but as this visit of the chancellor to the prcr political goals. in saratov, residents of several houses are preparing for a difficult trial and believe that they will achieve justice in a situation that can only be called absurd, it sounds something like this: the lack of central heating is not a reason not to pay for it. alexander tankikh looked into the reasons for the heated debate around cold batteries. two-room apartment in the center of saratov. sergei kozhevnikov purchased it in 2010, problems appeared with the first frosts, the radiators in the apartment were cold, the export conclusion was from february of the tenth year, in which the temperature in the living quarters was 11, 11.4°. the management company stated that they could not change the situation and offered to install individual gas heating at their own expense. sergei spent a long time collecting documents, coordinating the project with the gas service, and received approval. this is how the kozhevnikov family lived in warm comfort the next 14 years, and recentl

wang yi spoke out against the american strategy to contain china, in which the u.s. surrounds the prct these days, together with the philippines, they are conducting exercises near the disputed territories in the south china sea. beijing called such provocations dangerous, adding that the conflict between the united states and china will inevitably lead to loss, moreover. ksenia nekrasova anastasia, especially for ntv. at these moments in new york , the un security council is discussing the explosions of russian gas pipelines and nord stream in the baltic sea. the meeting was convened on the initiative of our diplomats, who have been trying to get western allies to leading investigations into these terrorist attacks, at least some intermediate conclusions about who is behind the explosions. joining us now from new york. alexey veselovsky, lyosh, have you managed to achieve anything at this meeting so far? well, colleagues, we don’t have to expect any sensations today, this is because, as russian permanent representative to the un vasily nebendya noted, precisely because the investigat

this is not aimed at the prc, but we think challenges to our security from a lot of different sources -- as democracies that share a lot of common values, we see value in cooperating with them regardless of where the challenges come from. stephen: you want to say a word about the study groups on this issue? >> i think one of the quotes we have in the report, we were talking about the question of who said they don't like to see cooperation with nato characterized as being about china. there are many ways nato is cooperating in the region with these partners. talking about it as being something that is directed at china, on the first instance it is correct, and on the second instance it plays into the chinese narrative of the asia-pacific, nato, you guys are moving into the region, this is going to sow instability. there is a lot we can do with these partners the region that, as doug said, touches on issues that cross regional boundaries. and at the same time having nato allies on the region is certainly helping to make these partners feel more security and feel as though people are pay

i hope the prc is helping russia. it is very low level. by and large, i am not condemning the x of them on the country. they are watching what russia is doing. they're watching what we are doing. they are doing things to better themselves, should they have any type of contact -- conflict in the pacific. from an economic standpoint, and the military capabilities, we are watching their current military events in russia. >> thank you for that. it is apparent that it is not helping ukraine. we are helping china. the national security supplemental, provides foreign aid to ukraine, israel, and taiwan. it sounds like we are set to consider some versions of that in the house, hopefully. secretary officer, why is it critical to our own national security, when we get additional aid to ukraine as soon as possible? we care about the threat of china. why does it follow that we should also care about ukraine, whether it wins or loses? >> thank you, sir. in terms of our own national security, we believe, i believe, that vladimir putin, will not stop in u

taiwan is not yet completely closed, and that there are forces there that are constructive towards the prci'll start today's program. who does not stroke and leads into the valley, look how the edge of the former steepness blossoms. with from an artistic point of view, of course, far from yevtushenko and not rozhdestvensky, but there was truth of life in these words. moldova really flourished then. brezhnev did not forget that the path to the kremlin began for him from chisinau. today, moldova, along with ukraine, has become the poorest country in europe. and in addition to this, they also want to drag her into the war. how this happened will be discussed in today’s program. by tradition, we begin our program with a flash question, which i address to each of the guests present: is a war possible for transnistria this year? andrey mikhailovich, i will immediately give the floor to you. it seems that this situation is not yet inevitable, but nevertheless, pressure on transnistria and gogoze using economic, diplomatic and political methods has already begun, therefore, as they say, without pa

taking into account the pressure from washington, which requires its allies to turn away. from the prc which insists on rapprochement with china. undoubtedly, china is very important for the development of our business. for us, china is one of the largest and fastest growing markets and we see further potential for growth. taking into account the difficulties that berlin is experiencing from the consequences of the sanctions imposed against russia without china, according to experts, the future for germany will be difficult, especially since the german economy is already virtually paralyzed, despite... denmark gdp growth forecast worsened to 2 %, export and import indicators are in the red due to high energy prices, industrial volumes production fell by 5.5%. scholz invites china to unite. german modern technologies are in demand and are actively used in china, this speaks not only of economic cooperation, but also of the fact that the serious challenges facing humanity can only be solved together. but brussels continues to insist on reducing risks and calls on the eu to introduce addi

facing -- russia and terrorism -- for the first time in nato history, the strategic concept mentions the prc, challenges associated with the prc for nato member states, and the importance of deepening our partnerships with our friends in the indo pacific. why is nato doing this? does it have aspirations to become a global alliance? absolutely not. our indo pacific partners do not have an interest in joining the alliance, and the alliance is not looking to go public, but what we see -- go global, but what we see is increased utility in working with our friends in the indo pacific on a number of shared security challenges that really have no geographic boundaries. disinformation, malicious cyber attacks, or emerging and disrupting technology. we view these security challenges in one theater, not limited to just the atlantic or the pacific. nato is moving out to deep in these important partnerships with our friends in the indo-pacific to share best practices on those challenges. finally, nato, while it has been addressing the challenges in ukraine and coping with the russia threat, has taken a

they know all your websites, all of your personal data so if you want privacy, i want them prc in my phone. what i like about the bill is it requires bite dance to divest often the united states and that means hopefully an american company would buy it and it just wouldn't be under the control of the prc narrative thinking manipulate with the world. >> isn't it true here in the united states -- >> not there algorithms can we force the company to show us their algorithm? you have to divest your assets. >> what happens if the president and our congress from a be more comfortable with the built a business they may come back and decide there is a successor company essentially the same thing and sending it to foreign countries? built on the greatest so brought if you have the wrong president cabinet from sacred use this bill to declare an app or website controlled by a foreign adversary not owned by controlled by medicine concern i have because we have seen these programs by executive branch the bill that passed in 2018 abused, they call it the nerve center and i'm afraid we are creating

we are leading initiatives to step up counternarcotics cooperation including with mexico and the prc and launch the global coalition to address synthetic drug threats which brings together more than 150 countries against cartels and illicit finance. working with our mexican partners, we have charged leaders of the sula cartel, and yesterday we charged 41 individuals connected to the jalisco new generation cartel. to date, we have sanctioned over 290 individuals and entities involved in the global illicit drug trade. a lot more work is needed, and that is why the president is pushing hard for the house to pass the senate's border security agreement, or for congress more broadly, because it didn't get out of the senate yet, for congress to push forth the border security agreement which would provide provide additional technology to stop these illicit drugs. it is important to acknowledge when a mistake has been made and take responsibility for it. so, i want to recognize the "daily caller" for having the integrity to retract their story about the false claims that circulated this week

we are talking with them about disinformation campaigns, stemming both from the prc and from russia withntries are learning from one another. those four indo pacific partners find real value in exchanges with nato allies and similarly i can assure you the allies here find real value in exchanging ideas and best practices with those four countries. on top of iton though most of te end of pacific partners have provided valuable assistance to our friends in ukraine. whether it is economic assistance, humanitarian assistance or security assistance they are doing that because they understand ukrainians are not just fighting to preserve their own territorial integrity. they are in fact protecting and trying to preserve the key tenets of the un charter and that gets right back to the question of sovereignty. i will also note the alliance is increasingly talking about with the prc is doing in and around the euro atlantic area this is a creeping thing a topic of conversation here and said that nato alliance.id we are doing a lot more work in this space. and as we look at that challenge we can no
