commerce secretary gina raimondo whose e-mail account was targeted in the espionage campaign. this. gina raimondo would send a better message if she passes on beijing's invitation and explains if china wants u.s. cooperation on business trade and investment it will stop cyber outing. this is the point of making. we keep asking for meetings and begging for communication and they keep with the aggression of the united states. the spy balloon there was no response the cover for covid, no response. no response to the police stations. it's outrageous and as were out a way to meetings they are spying on the accounts to know what the u.s. is thinking what the plan is for the meetings special climate envoy john kerry is going on sunday he is claiming that is having time it talks as if the ccp is going to do anything about climate. here's what he had to say with the foreign affairs committee yesterday. >> what were trying to achieve is to establish some stability if we can in the relationship without conceding anything. there is no concession. i'm not going over with any concessions. w

commerce gina raimondo and state department officials in an attempt to gain access to sensitive information, operating until the espionage campaign was discovered by microsoft on ju june 16. that was a few days before secretary of state anthony blinken's trip to china so we found out in anthony blinken went to china and followed up and set janet yellen to china. fbi director christopher wray warned about beijing required american companies in china to host groups to monitor their cpp rules. watch this. >> would come specifically to the business community while there is no law against joint ventures the problem that we have that the chinese government all too often has exploited the joint ventures to use them as ways to get improper access to companies secrets and information. >> you find that they stepped it up where the nationalizing u.s. company's quietly? >> in a variety of ways i have not thought of using the term but i think you're onto an important point. maria: we've talked about this so much rob replicate the strategy, dave said beijing follows and replace foreigners. joining the at

gordon what's so infuriating is on top of all this we'll be sending gina raimondo over there.na is support for their green new deal. that is the big issue and climate change and we don't even get that. john kerry went over there four days of meetings and they resolved absolutely nothing, as did antony blinken, as did secretary yellen. i think xi is absolutely determined to humiliate joe biden at every possible turn. i don't know why joe biden puts up with this. well, i do, but let's stick with that. let's suppose it's still an uncertain situation. but really it's incredible to me. what are your thoughts about that? >> yeah, xi jinping form of i diplomacy these days is to put everyone else in submission. there's many problems that he has at home. his economy is in a disastrous state. the numbers from june were truly, truly grim and they're only going to get worse for a lot of reasons and a he can't reverse that. xi jinping's only alternative is to get everyone to do what he wants or go to war. we're at a point where we don't have this sense of urgency because right the now the

and when that story came out last week about gina raimondo, microsoft had said the origin of the hackainland china. also, we are seeing from the new york times story it was just a targeted attack using copper my security keys but it was traditional espionage according to the source of the u.s. -- the sources the new york times quoted. it would not be too much of a surprise. i'm not saying it is not a surprise because of the allegations of china but it comes at a time when there has been increased engagement on the diplomatic front between china and the united states. and potentially if it was hackers from china, the sources would say they would be able to potentially clean some sense of information that would help them obvious to prepare for those meetings with antony blinken. as well as the climate envoy, john kerry. all those officials visiting beijing most recently. still trying to corroborate the story right now. we are still waiting for any kind of official confirmation or denial from china as well as from the united states but again, a developing story, the ministry of foreign a

what about -- what about any future trip, the commerce secretary, gia gia raimondo was supposed to gohe big one whether biden will meet xi or not. whether you could see a replay of nixon moment. if gina raimondo goad, that will be significant, particularly controversial, but it's important that these trips with all their theater take place because, you know, without that we're heading for a very nasty situation. >> gillian tett, thank you very much. that does it for us, a double edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online, on facebook and on twitter. lindsey reiser is in for chris jansing reports right now. >>> good afternoon, everybody. i'm lindsey reiser in for chris jansing here at msnbc headquarters in new york city. any minute now we'll get an update from philadelphia after the deadliest mass shooting in that city in decades on monday left five people dead. this morning the suspect behind the attack made his first appearance in court where he now faces 11 charges including several counts of murder and aggravated assault. >>> the tragedy and fear of the moment cap

then they're spying on gina raimondo and accessing her e-mails, the commerce secretary.rtnership. janet yellen the other day bowing to per counterpart. is this the right response to communist china and their aggression? >> well, the trump/pence administration was taking the right course of action there. we're in an economic war with china and everyone knows that. maria: yeah. >> they've been taking our intellectual property too long. we know that they're spying on awful us every day -- all of us every day. we either are going to do something about it, we're either going to defend our country or we're going to kowtow to the business communities who just want to make money in countries that don't have the same values that we have. maria: we will leave it there. congressman, good to see you this morning. thanks very much. we've been talking about the 2024 election. you're obviously expecting to be there with your brother at the debate, at the first primary debate. what is vice president pence doing to prepare to get on that stage? >> well, he's gathering the donors. he's ou

officials say the hackers targeted commerce secretary gina raimondo emails beginning in may and the attack went undetected for about a month. the state department confirms it, too, was targeted, saying it took swift action. we took immediate steps to secure our systems, took immediate steps to notify microsoft of the event. >> the incident remains under investigation and we continuously monitor our networks and update our security procedures. >> the cyber breach started just before secretary of state antony blinken traveled to china in june. and while the commerce department has been imposed sanctions on beijing, then they had over 30 days before it was even reported and almost another 30 days before it was fully mitigated. >> so this is a very long period of time to gain access. >> sources say it appears unlikely that the hackers got access to any high value classified information, but that the threat is growing. the number of cyber attacks affecting government organizations rose 95% in the last half of 2022, compared to the previous year. stopping the threat goes far beyond protecting pa

this hack of state department emails and commerce department emails, including, secretary's gina raimondo'sil. beijing as dismiss the obligation, but blinken did raise it and afp reported lincoln told wong she will hold whoever was responsible accountable for their actions. it sort of sours the mood. it is great that wong and antony blinken are meeting face-to-face just within a month of the last time they met when blinken went to beijing and blinken did meet xi jinping. we have janet yellen going to beijing, did not meet xi but met all of her counterparts. this sunday, climate envoy from the biden administration john kerry it will go to beijing. all of these are positive that they have dialogue. there is that overarching issue of the trade war, there are sanctions against the chinese defense minister, and you have all of these export controls, tit-for-tat moves, but there have been these incidents whether it was the pelosi visit to taiwan, the spy balloon over the united states. i mentioned the dictator comment, and now allegations of chinese hacking of state and commerce department emails

when we learned last week about the gina raimondo alleged hack, the administrator of foreign affairsn beijing was asked about it. they said the u.s. should account for its cyberattacks as soon as possible rather than spread false information and divert attention. at that time, the u.s. cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency said an investigation by microsoft determined hackers had accessed and taken out unclassified data from a small number of accounts. that is probably a key on the strategy of whomever did hack these individuals, they targeted a select number of people who perhaps -- you can get the kind of information they were looking for and would not be as detected as quickly as a massive attack. this is one we will keep watch on. we will have to get a comment or no comment from the u.s. state department. shery: stephen engle joining us from hong kong. it has been a tough year for traders. we are talking about those simmering tensions between china and the u.s., also grappling with fears over recession when it comes to trading. the were and ukraine -- to trading and th

cabinet members to beijing after antony blinken, janet yellen, as well as john kerry and now gina raimondoch to get back to business as usual. i think that's extremely risky. i don't think it's the right strategy. some of our allies are deeply invested in china too but i think there's an increasing international awareness and concern about the current government in china and its aggressive behavior. i think the people around the world are ahead of their elected leaders in figuring out they need to respond to it. maria: yeah. krysia, jump in here. there's a new research from the pugh research center finds 50% of u.s. adults say china is the greatest threat to the country. >> i mean, this is not surprising. we have been discussing it especially on your show. you've been at the forefront of highlighting the great threat china poses to our nation especially with joe biden at the helm and with hunter biden admitting in course the business relations he has. my question would be, do you believe, steve, if anything was discussed about the origins of the covid virus and what occurred in wuhan in th

crimes against the united states are real, we learned this past week the commerce secretary gina raimondo hacked by the chinese before she went to beijing -- paul: she's going to beijing. >> before she went to beijing. so it is a real problem. but the fact is, it is damaging for the director of the fbi to sit there and say he's not quite aware of what's going on in an area like this interaction between the fbi and social media companies over conservative opinion on social media. and it suggests that that i don't think it's going to change so long as joe biden -- paul: right. >> it's going to require a new administration, a new fbi director, a new attorney general. but the next fbi director is going to have to be willing to get in there and do s&p some realignment of the -- do some realignment of the management structure. bill mcgurn has suggested it should be a former fbi agent, not just a lawyer. i agree with bill on that. but it's going to be a big -- the problem is the americans' estimation of an important institution like the fbi, thiess half of the population, is in decline. that's n

you will see gina raimondo go over, the secretary of congress, john kerry, the climate czar, all leadingossibility of a meeting between xi jinping and president biden on the sidelines of the apex summit, scheduled to begin in november in seattle. after tony blinken's visit there, it was the president himself who kind of, you know, muddied the water a little bit, literally the day after the secretary of state was in beijing, trying to smooth things over, the president told a fundraiser that xi jinping was a dictator, and embarrassed him by saying he didn't know anything about the spy balloon that traveled over the united states. he was kept in the dark by his own officials. not the kind of thing that went over well in beijing. this visit by secretary yellen will be a test of whether things like that will continue to, you know, complicate the relationship or was the outrage that you heard from china afterwards simply performative, and short lived. >> that said, though, peter, what does it say that the biden administration, they're saying, look, we don't expect any breakthroughs here. >> th

the way they were able, without much detection, to get into the emails of commerce secretary gina raimondothe u.s. ambassador to china nick burns and others. and these new techniques are very hard to detect. so the debate in the administration has been do you wipe it all out when you find it, but then you are alerting the chinese that you have found it and they may have time to reinfect these systems with better hidden methods, or do you just sit and watch this code and try to move against it only in a time of crisis? so they wouldn't have time to come back in. and so for now they are trying to remove t. okay. coincidence or not, you know, we learned on friday from the biden administration that the government will be transferring weaponsing directly to taiwan for the first timend the presidential drawdown authority which excel rates the delivery of the weapons as opposed to sales to taiwan which has been happening for a while. we will leave it there, david sanger. thank you very much. >>> now to georgia where a decision whether to expedite former president donald trump and his allies is im

also hacked into the state department and the commerce department and yet commerce secretary gina raimondockers are accused of also accessing the e-mails of the u.s. ambassador to china and the assistant secretary of state for east asia. all of this as antony blinken was traveling there. >> maria, i'm chuckling because that is a very long list, it's also very accurate and it's the tip of the iceberg. you shouldn't forget having stolen millions of jobs from the american people over the past decades, taking intellectual property and the hard work that the american people have done to create things, to create prosperity and wealth here. the biden administration's motto with respect to china began on the right foot, they had the right tone but their actions have under-delivered in every dimension. they have a version of foreign policy that looks like the obama's administration. they're appeasing iranians, negotiate with them, talked about a minor incursion in afghanistan saying maybe that's all right and with the chinese communist party, they refuse to stand up to them. they say if they send s

one of these email accounts belonging to commerce secretary gina raimondo. and now u.s.lleagues carol lee and peter alexander, that these two u.s. diplomats, the u.s. ambassador to china as well as another top diplomat at the state department were also targeted. now, it's important to note these were unclassified emails that were targeted by these hackers, but it is worth noting how heavily involved and close they were to secretary of state antony blinken's high-stakes trip to beijing last month. remember, he met with his chinese counterparts to smooth over relations with china. worth noting, the chinese government has not commented on this hack so far, so there's a lot more to learn out of this developing story, jose. >> and this comes on the same day as a high-profile meeting with leaders from seven artificial intelligence companies? what's expected to come from this meeting? >> reporter: that's right. those executives include executives from companies like google, microsoft, amazon, and they're meeting with the president to talk about the future of this rapidly evolvi

e-mail accounts including the state department and the account for the secretary of commerce, gina raimondowere they able to access sensitive information? were they able to gain insight ahead of secretary blinken's trip to ukraine and what is the biden administration going to do to retaliate? >> first, jake, the intrusion here was actually into microsoft's cloud system. they got into that system and then threw that into the unclassified e-mail accounts of u.s. government officials, and i stress these were unclassified e-mail accounts so they did not get any classified information. they only got unclassified information, point one. point two, it was actually the u.s. government that discovered the hack, and we did so because we have increased our cyber defenses over the course of the past couple of years. we discovered it. we quickly shut it down and we've taken steps to make sure it's not an ongoing vulnerability. third, this has been going o for a long time through multiple administrations we have faced things like this. we take steps in all of these instances to hold those who conducted t

to continue to be after the revelations about chinese hacking of your colleague, secretary gina raimondobout hacking of u.s. government officials, or private individuals or companies. i know the united states has expressed those concerns. we intend to continue to deepen our discussions with china to increase our engagement. it's especially important to explain what our motivation is to avoid misunderstandings that can lead to unnecessary and dangerous escalation. president xi and president biden agreed in bali that senior officials including those in economics should interact more regularly. i think an outcome of my trip was that we will have deeper ongoing engagement at all levels. >> when did you learn about the china email hacking? i'm curious if you had a chance to bring this up on your trip to beijing? >> i believe i did not know about that in beijing. it not one of the things we discussed. haidi: taking a look at commodities. we are watching wheat and corn and lee's other grains categories given that we are expecting disruptions. he rewritten concerns food security and rising infla

put a point on secretary ellen's visit, it was on the heels of secretary blinken's visit and gina raimondo'sthat. very intentional and sequenced. the hope of the administration's to try to put a floor on the relationship, try to put some guardrails on the relationship to really prevent it from devolving any further. but as you mentioned, there will continue to be some of these news events that will make that politically more difficult for the administration. but i don't think that is going to derail these efforts. the administration is incredibly focused on setting the floor in the relationship. the bar is very low. they are trying to restore some basic communication among principles which is not really existent right now. the bar is very low. we are not expecting any sort of pivot from the administration on tariffs or sanctions or export controls. we think those will continue. but the real intention here is to put a floor on the relationship. the bottom line here is even though these emails and what have you are going to be inconvenient interference, we don't think they are going to derail

she said that it was not raimondo but a man named alex, the jury evidently disregarded the testimony,>> remember, la perla is the neighborhood where they said the killer fled after the murder, it is nestled between the ocean and a cliff that --, old san juan just block somewhere out of, died and while it occupies a beautiful piece of real estate, it has a reputation for harboring criminals. >> so, here is -- jonathan rim on the. >> jonathan riman lived here. >> and so did alex pabon colon. >> alex's, friend was born and raised in old san juan, you said the reputation is well deserved. >> there are families that have been here for generations. , then there's also the drug kingpins that they discovered that can hide in here and work out. here, so they don't allow any robberies. they don't allow anything going on here that's not supposed to go on. >> they protect voters. >> they protect the tourist, they protect themselves. they keep the tourism going in the island and avoid the cops coming in after them. >> that criminal element was not happy with the heat alex pabon had brought into la

you can't have all the experiences, but other members of the cabinet, gina raimondo, secretary of commerce, had a very active role in the private sector before her public service career. with respect to the concern about independent contractors, folks are concerned with this particular california ab5 law. it began with the california supreme court decision. you have never been on the california supreme court. it was codified by the california legislature. you are not a member of the california legislature. you are obligated to implement state laws, just as you would be obligated to implement federal laws in your capacity as deputy secretary of labor. you have issued a regulation in this space. that does not incorporate the abc test for determining who is an employee and who is an independent contractor. major groups that were concerned with 85, like lyft and the franchise association have praised the federal standards that you have created as, thank goodness the standard does not include the thing we didn't like about the california standards. so, there is a pr campaign in california, ariz
