nick: and with me now is gina raimondo, secretary of commerce., thank you very much. during your visit to china, you warned that american businesses could consider china uninvestable because china is making it harder for them to operate, including raids and fines, uncontrolled consulting firms, travel restrictions, the passage of a counter espionage law. did china commit to stop taking any of the steps that you've cited? >> they did not. but to be clear i never would , have expected that they would have. to put this in perspective, i'm the first commerce secretary in more than five years to be on the ground in china conducting meetings of this kind, so i don't think it would be reasonable to expect that in these first meetings they would make any kind of commitments or concessions. that being said, i was crystal clear that patience is wearing thin on behalf of u.s. business, and that china's recent rhetoric, which has been saying they want more foreign direct investment, has to be backed up by action. nick: you call it rhetoric. recently, the sta

unfortunately, the prc had already targeted secretary raimondo with hard power, successfully stealing her official email in a cyberattack just weeks earlier. the extent that economic relations with china are deteriorating is because of president xi's watch. american and other foreign businesses are facing a state that increasingly expropriate its companies, steals intellectual property, hold workers inside apartment buildings, and focuses business leaders to attend communist indoctrination sessions. so the biden administration is uninterested in negotiating trade deals with our allies and partners, but it seems desperate to double down on trade with communist china. p.r.c. officials publicly mock secretary raimondo's efforts as, quote, doomed to fail and that china will never let down its vigilance. because of a few beautiful words from the u.s. this is hardly the only time the biden administration had tilted the windmills. liberty -- literally and figuratively. remember, the special climate envoy, john kerry's, recent trip to beijing, he thought common ground on green energy goals fo

commerce secretary gina raimondo after her recent trip. she was just on our show. she's talking about building high fences in small neighborhoods. the neighborhood basically is national security that said the prc banning iphobes for government employees doesn't help solve their youth ub employment problem, does it? it's over 20%. or at least it was before they stopped issuing that number because it's too weak. you don't drive off a great employer like apple when your economy's falling apart. more important i bring up my acerbic view because i don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times i've heard the best days of apple's growth are behind them. it's true there hasn't been a lot of growth lately no one's dismiss that. the numbers don't lie. but growth here has always come in spurts related to new iphone releases. if you sell the stock at this moment please don't forget that you are selling ahead of one. you're also selling it in spite of a bountiful and growing service revenue stream including new programs, new content including some very exciting u.s

here with me now, straight back from her china trip is commerce secretary gina raimondo. thank you for joining me. you are the fourth cabinet member to visit china. you said the biggest accomplishment was a commitment to communicate more. so far the trips have resulted in few tangible results. so when should americans expect to see concrete actions from china to fix the problems that they're facing across so many sectors of americans' every day lives? >> yeah. well, good morning and thank you for having me. i think we did achieve concrete outcomes. just to put it in perspective, i'm the first commerce secretary in more than five years to be on the ground in china. so, i think we have to be realistic about what we can and can't accomplish on a first visit. prior to getting on the plane to head over to china, i spoke with more than 100 business leaders myself in the u.s. across a range of industries and i asked -- and i spoke with labor leaders and i asked what should i be trying to get done here and by far they said open lines of communication so we could do the business o

they timed it with gina raimondo's visit and apple's new phone. caroline: timing is pretty impeccable. certainly from a media perspective. but for a buying perspective and how this unfolds, are you expecting supply chains to be impacted? as we think about it tesla that has a lot a focus on the chinese consumer. mei: there are two things. from the chinese sign, they have so many chinese citizens working on these things for so many companies. they have to be careful how these measures are put into place. on the other hand, it is important to welcome knives -- important to recognize that china's political agenda is so strong and so important to the government that it will trump every time. even the fact they may hurt their own people as they ban some uses of western products. one of the most dangerous things is the empty american feeling that could hop up because of this nationalistic -- could pop up because of this nationalistic business. people not in government or state owned enterprises will stop buying american products. ed: good to see you here

this is a direct quote from gina raimondo.to deny the chinese the ability to advance the technology in ways that can hurt us. that is essentially the goal of u.s. lawmakers and of course the white house to prevent china using american proprietary advanced technology in their military capabilities. he saw that video and those photos of the tear down of the meat 60 pro. that was done by tech insights recently for bloomberg news and again this has sparked a lot of concern and dialogue and an investigation. over the efficacy of the export curbs right now. haidi: chinese foreign minister von yi is wrapping up his three-day visit to moscow today what was accomplished? stephen: it is interesting because he is wrapping up today a three day visit where he has met with his counterpart in moscow the foreign minister, as well as other senior kremlin officials. the readout at least from the chinese side is they are going to advance their security cooperation between beijing and moscow. it is interesting because of the timing. as other worl

on friday we spoke with commerce secretary gina raimondo, who just returned from her visit to china and began by asking her why cbs news polling shows the administration's economic efforts are not resonating with some americans. >> i think the reality is that inflation still exists and it's something people see on a daily basis when they go to the grocery store or pay their rent or pay their mortgage. we have to know that. you know, that's still a challenge for folks. that being said, if you look at where we are today, compared to when the president took office, it's an unbelievable story of progress. the economy -- we're among the strongest economies in the world. we all went through covid, right. europe did, china did, asia did. yet we have emerged the fastest and the strongest. so i don't want to minimize what americans are feeling and that's why we get up and go to work every day, but this economy by any measure is doing incredibly well and much better than anyone could have predicted i think three years ago when we started. >> the white house is working with congress to hammer out

cheryl: gina raimondo's trip start to finish is just a lesson in just how to get laughs.ished nothing, really. this is the fourth visit by a senior member of the administration to beijing in what i call the summer of love with china and like her predecessors comes home with nothing and leaves china with the impression which is really reflected in the statement that they can get away with anything, that they can engage in any misconduct which they continue to do, disputes with every single one of their neighbors pretty much, continued cyber attacks against us, continued political warfare against us and what do you get, you get more biden cabinet members that want to go over and make nice. she created a couple working groups, one on export controls but those are essentially pointless. there's a shift in the administration from a pretty weak china policy to an incredibly weak china policy. cheryl: well, china is of course they are slamming the biden administration after it approved the sale of an $80 million military package for taiwan a. beijing claims it, quote, severely v

i think that for the type of conversations that secretary of commerce gina raimondo had a night -- hadg and for others china is on the defensive because they don't have the confidence they had before. they have to come at a minimum, show they want to improve their relationship with the u.s. and stabilize things. because, that anxiety that is in that relationship is also filed by domestic investors and consumers, feeding into the lack of confidence to mess tickly. -- domesticly, giving other some leverage in putting chinese leadership on the defensive. shery: scott kennedy there. let's get more top geopolitical stories around the world. italy's foreign minister is on a three-day visit to china discussing the possibility of his country leaving the belt and road initiative. before heading to beijing he told us. the investment has fallen short of expectations. >> the message is very clear. we want to work with china. it is complex for us. we want to work in the chinese market. we are ready for chinese investment in our country. but, we need the right playing field. shery: italy's membershi

commerce secretary gina raimondo says there's no evidence that chinese phone maker huawei can make advancede. she says she was upset that they released a new phone with a seven millimeter chip. washington has opened an investigation into their phone amid export controls on beijing. shery: justin trudeau vows to hold people to account for the murder of a leader in the country which is government alleges was masterminded by india. >> one of the things that is so important today is that the government of india takes serious this matter. it is extreme lease areas and it has far-reaching consequences in international law and otherwise. for canada, we will remain calm, we will remain grounded in our democratic principles and values. we will follow the evidence and make sure that the work is done told people to account. shery: so how are people in canada reacting to these allegations and what are the next steps for the trigger government -- trudeau government? derek: the reaction was of shock. there are significant ties between canada and india. india is the largest source of immigrants to canada,

with beijing, to put the relationship on more stable footing which is why you see the likes of gina raimondocommerce secretary, making trips to china within the last week or so. one thing she was expressing was the concern that u.s. businesses have difficulty doing business in and with china because of the uncertainty around the regulatory and policy environment. there is another ongoing conversation in washington about the world of chips and advanced technologies and the likes of huawei getting access to those chips. that's a big focus of conversation for republicans on capitol hill. jon: thanks very much. we will continue to track this story. earlier today, erik schatzker spoke exclusively to the canadian prime minister justin trudeau who says relations between his country and china have been challenging of late. >> the way it has always been framed for our allies whether it's in europe or elsewhere is the desire of access to markets, particularly the growing and engaged chinese middle class that represents a tremendous benefit for us. over the past many years, there have been lots of frie

now, recall, kerry, blinken, yellen and gina raimondo all went to suck up to president xi. all got cold water thrown in their faces. but tony saks talking to tony blinken. we don't know but voters know who decided it was a good idea for everyone -- everyone going there and getting nothing for biden to grovel to vietnam. who put the surrender language in his script. >> what the scrip trip was abous than containing china. i don't want to contain china, i just want to make sure we have a relationship with china that is on the up and up, squared away. i want to see china succeed economically. i want to see them succeed by the rules. >> laura: of course, when we have a figure head president, voters are going to be kept in the dark. as america continues to see the boot licking buffoonery of this white house, tony blinken is spending so much time in beijing, i think he should have his mail forwarded there at this point for at least for the time biden is in office. is he going back to beijing this year. voters may believe that the current dynamic, this white house is functioning as

that was the message from gina raimondo when she was in china and that is the message from the podium and the west wing. >> thank you for bringing us the inside track from washington. ed: let us talk about what is happening in china. caroline: they have banned staff from using apple iphones and other foreign branded devices at work. that is the wall street journal. apple is china's biggest international market, we will see how that continues to unfold. microsoft gaming ceo, bethesda game studios executive, both joining us for the launch of starfield. have you watched the trailer? this is over technology. -- bloomberg technology. ♪ ( ♪ ♪ ) ( ♪ ♪ ) ( ♪ ♪ ) ( ♪ ♪ ) ( ♪ ♪ ) the first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. but it can be passed on to the next generation.

if china is advancing more rapidly than they had been expecting, hoping, what does gina raimondo do fromere? can they tighten export controls even more? they need their allies to be on board, if they are going to tighten restrictions, especially the dutch. in the netherlands, asml makes the most important tip making -- chipmaking equipment. and the japanese who supply other kinds of components that are needed for these advanced chips. kriti: suddenly everyone in washington is becoming an expert on the nitty-gritty that goes into a to. peter elstrom joining us this morning on our big take. i want to stick with the tech space. french antitrust enforcers have rated the offices of a business suspected of engaging in quote anti-competitive practices in the graphics card sector, targeting nvidia. the company's dominant role is coming under closer scrutiny. france's competition authority says they do not presuppose the existence of a breach in the law. why 155 maybe the magic number for japan when it comes to currency intervention. we get the outlook from the man they call mr. yen. this is bloo

hours ago the report on some government agencies, bloomberg reporting more and it follows the gina raimondohina. kailey: the commerce secretary made a trip to beijing. she followed eckert terry janet yellen, the secretary of state antony blinken and john kerry. all in an effort to shore up the relationship between the largest economy in the world and the second largest economy. trying to ease the path of u.s. businesses in china. she talked a lot about the uncertainty of operated -- of operating in the market with the headlines of what we are seeing with apple. it is not clear based on our reporting how many companies or agencies could eventually adopt these restrictions. obviously a massive risk to a company like apple who is dependent on china from a supply chain perspective. a lot of iphones are made in china in factories employing chinese people, it also from a revenue perspective. this made up 1/5 of their revenue in the previous quarter. caroline: this is a building concern not only from competition, you think of huawei and its phone reveal and what it does to apple sales. but also th
