been increasing security concerns coming from china, and now last friday in alaska, the contentious meeting is on full display. host: that is part of the reason we are having you on, to check in on u.s.-china relations. this was the first significant meeting between leaders of china and the u.s. government could secretary of state antony blinken there, and the leader of the foreign affairs chief or the chinese communist party. he was there as well. what was the stated purpose of that meeting? guest: the purpose was because china was trying to make connections with the u.s. officials in charge. the purpose has been for decades peaceful relations with the western world so they can rise as a global state. what is a surprise to many people was people thought the biden administration was going to be in some sense relatively softer on china compared to former president trump. those people will have to think again after this meeting because in my opinion, i think presidents in the u.s. do not matter to chinese policy. what drives china policy is the calculation between trading of economic benefits of engaging with china versus security concerns. whi

now the united states wants china's help with north korea but were not getting along with china for stupid reasons. gi've never seen china disrespt this country like they did last week. judge jeanine: mr. president i know your time is valuable, do you go next week or the week after? >> i don't want to setey a schedule but over the next few weeks i guess i'll go and i'm not sure i really should do it other than the fact that if such respect for the border patrol and for ice and these people are dying for leadership, there is erno leadership you have to see the squalor, the children and bring the people to come into the country you look at what's happening the dirt and filth that's why they're not letting the press in. frankly if that were me the press would have been in.

china. as the reason why u.s.high-tech firms are basically alignedith this cold war mentality that has emanated in washington from the obama administration onward. amy: i want to ask you, vijay prashad, back to the issue of vaccine, this idea of china dropping vaccines all over and the u.s. still involved in these wars around the world. and fighting waivers at the wto that allow for more vaccines to be made available to the developing world. i mean, but the new york times" has a front -- has a front page peace. john bolsonaro's consider the tropical trunk, close ally of trump. he refused to deal with china and huawei, a large tele-communications company. but now in their desperation and with trump gone, they're turning to china in a major way -- around telecommunications and at the same time, asking china, can you get us vaccines? chilew is -- china is the dominant supplier of vaccines in chile. mexico, peru, ecuador, bolivia most of hear the u.s. is either being accused of hoarding vaccines were fighting the abil

this report made it clear, in fact, one of the reasons china was not tinvolved is because thy didn't didn't like any of them, so they didn't go all in on picking a side. this is not to say they couldn't in the future, because, of course, they could. in this particular case it was russia trying to put its thumb on the scale in favor of donald trump. what that stunned me, and maybe it shouldn't have, what stunned me about it was that we have been responding an awful lot of time reporting about the 2016 election and bob mueller's report about how he could not prove a criminal conspiracy or what we call collusion with trump's staff and the russians, but it is -- because he couldn't prove it in court, he didn't have enough information. this intelligence report echos that from going forward through the 2020 election. basically doing everything except naming rudy guiliani about somebody that the russians said, you know, come on to our side we will talk to you, either witnessingly or unwittingly the people close to donald trump were duped. that was going on in the former president's first el

market versus china for a few reasons. china has aging demographics due to the one china policy from 1979-2015. they're going to look more like japan moving forward. we have a dynamic population, we've got the millennials now are bigger than the boomer, they're starting housing formation. i want to own the u.s. we've done more stimulus, $2.8 trillion this year alone, they're pulling back on stimulus. they're going to have a tightening environment towards the end of the year, we're just going to be having liftoff. so looking at tomorrow with chair powell, inflation break-even, five-year break-evens can 2.51%, and the last time that happened, in 2011, they hit 2.45%, the fed started talking about operation twist. a few months later they did it. so we're going to see tomorrow if chair powell acknowledges inflation risk and talks about options. if he talks about options, you're actually going to get a bid in bonds, interestingly enough, and in high-yielding equities that yield more than the 10-year. we've talked about utilities and

recorded coverts i break in one hand well done one is chief economist for hunks and bank china in shanghai she says the reason for china's export growth is that manufacturing elsewhere has not yet recovered. this is situation is very much a continuation or last year a since most countries manufacturing capacity are still not back to normal yet and i last year about 20 percent of china's exports were code related and this year at least in the 1st 2 months i think the number will be rather to the similar and for the rest of that support i think it's still mostly about electronics updating us as a tease and other industrial inputs the market consensus now for 2021 growth is 8.3 percent that's significantly higher but at the same time we also heard from n.p.c. that the fiscal policy anemometer policies are both more conservative than last year so combine all those information my conclusion is that chinese government mint is not trying to spur growth and they want to contain financial risks and other economic risk for their personal growth and so this year i don't think we will see much of the money for expansion

the reason china is doing that is because china is not happy with what australia has been doing on theonal stage in terms of criticizing china. they were criticizing china over hong kong, genocide in the uyghurs regions, so china is not happy. a consequence of that is there is a lead change in terms of punishment. when china is not importing goods from australia, other u.s. western allies were feeling -- filling the void by providing similar good so china. if you think about this issue from the australian government's perspective, you would think they would go tough on china by criticizing china, but you're allies in the business sector are not necessarily working with you on that front. when china punishes you, your allies fill the void by trading with china. making this less effective. host: let's continue with your calls. caller: good morning. host: you are on the air. caller: i just want to thank mr. zhong. he is well educated about the chinese government. a lot of chinese have no idea what their own government is doing. we know little bit about it, living in a foreign country. we

century trying to shore up its allegiances in order to gang up on china and the reason that this is seen this way in beijing is because the blood and administration has said plainly and repeatedly that it considers china a strategic threat to the u.s. so the way beijing sees it this is not about maintaining regional stability instead they see this as the u.s. simply trying to contain china and shore up its own interests in the region but of course there are reasons for concern in terms of china's behavior it is true that china has made increasingly regular incursions into the territory of the disputed islands known by the japanese and d.l. you islands by the chinese we've also seen that earlier this year china changed its coast guard law to allow weapons on coast guard vehicles it also accelerated the increase of its military budget this year to 6.8 percent up from 6 percent last year and generally there's been increased activity around the south china sea and at as we speak we do have military pond that naval exercises so china throwing its weight around in the south china sea the east

see these kind of major powers you hear about talked about all the time between us and as a reason mentioned china russia and you know you hear about it with the careers and things like that do these countries realize the danger truly realize the dangers of cyber warfare you know earlier i made the analogy to the development of the atomic bomb the cold war that followed with this cyber warfare are we making the same mistakes now with these kind of weapons that we did when we develop nuclear weapons of not really understanding the real impact these could have on society and just kind of using them willy nilly. yes actually we're losing we're using legacy philosophy they determine what we do today that is outgrown the capacity of those who were involved in this to understand they just don't understand it and so therefore their use of their defaulting back on what they had they had learned decades ago. and that it's really building up sample let me point out something else here with all of the spying on everybody knowing where everybody is every minute of the day and all that you know they now have t

you don't need 4 aircraft carriers for south china sea you need aircraft carriers for one reason alone and that's to project power how used well that's a question for speculation resisting people turning a civic is a pretty big place. but to say that china is not a threat or who are merely concerned with regional issue is the ride by the fact of building amphibious ships which are meant to project power and building aircraft carriers need creasing numbers which are meant to be the same ok india spending 3 aircraft carriers already has and will have 3 aircraft carriers by 2030 i don't know anybody saying india is being expansionist and going to south america going to somebody so i mean we need to have a little bit of shared interests in this in the context of this to. mean that we got any air limits but when and if you know we just have we have the quad you know we have in the events being. being designed at least by some people in washington to be kind of in asia nato obviously to contain china and so i mean when you see this containment policy being encircled encouraging the quad to e

china town. from here chinese goods go on to be distributed around europe it's all started in $1009.00. 180 and for some reason hungary and china. raised in agrement about not requiring visas from each other in $1809.00 after the tiananmen square massacre. actually another political refugees but many a small businessman left the country. and they looked at the map tried to find a country. they could reach easily and they found out that i'm going to be integrated a visa from them so $50000.00 chinese small businessman came to me very suddenly. these 50000 around 30000 remain today. since hungry became the 1st eastern european country to officially sign up to the new silk road initiative in 2011 their numbers have grown further. but traditionally the chinese population here keeps to itself. vision she's family story is a typical 130 years ago his parents came to hungary on business but he grew up back in china 10 years ago he came here himself to work. with me my parents don't live here anymore but some of my other relatives do when i left school and was looking for a job i realised that opportunities outside ch

china found them a reasonable partner with which to work. s them incompetent, corrupt and unpredictable, a difficult partner with which to work. but the are partner with which to work. but they are not — partner with which to work. but they are not going to do anything about it?- they are not going to do anything about it? no, and auoin anything about it? no, and going back _ anything about it? no, and going back to _ anything about it? no, and going back to the - anything about it? no, and going back to the thing - anything about it? no, and i going back to the thing about no permanent friends, only permanent interests, china want a stable government in myanmar with which they can negotiate. they are not going to join american sanctions, european sanctions. my sense is china understands that they are essentially going to bide their time and say, look, we want to be friendly with whoever is running myanmar.- be friendly with whoever is running myanmar. 0k, given that stance, running myanmar. 0k, given that stance. do _ running myanmar. 0k, gi

. >> china represents a generational threat, and the reason is, the idea that china would become mores maternity -- it's economy matures is clearly for the birds. >> what will people here in the foreign office thing? whether it changes people's lives, this new focus on asia may be safer or more prosperous. will it neglect britain's interests closer to home? britain's commitment to your atlantic security is unequivocal, with nato at its heart. but there are regional threats. after salisbury poison attack, it is an acute threat to britain'security. >> russia is the number one threat we face both at hand abroad, but there was no strategy to work with our european partners to try to do with that challenge. there was no strategy to repair our defenses at home. >> to help tackle new threats, there will be a white house staff situation room near downing street and a new counterterrorism operations center. the report says there is evolving surity environment. an old-school weapon is not supposed to be a new strategy. james lerner, bbc news. ross: in a few minutes time, we will hear former fir

we are not getting along with chain today for stupid -- debt along with china for stupid reasons. i have never seen china disrespect this country the way they have. >> do you think you will go the next few weeks? >> i don't want to set a schedule. i am not sure i should do it. but i have such respect for the border patrol and i.c.e. they are dying for leadership. there is no leadership. you have to see that squalor children and frankly people that have come into the country when you look at what's happening. the dirt and the filth of those places. that's why they are not letting the press in. if that were me the press would be going crazy. it's a very dangerous situation. it's horrible for our country. they are going to destroy our country. judge jeanine: president trump thanks for being with us. i know your time is valuable. thank you, mr. president. still ahead, peter navarro, leo terrell, and tomi lahren. you won't believe the biden administration's latest shocking move. >> the wrong way to come is putting children in the custody of human traffickers. these are vicious transnati

. >>> children torn from their families and kept from leaving china's shenzhen reason, their parents wn their loved ones. in a new heartbreaking report, china's policies towards ethnic uighur muslims have split up thousands of families. thes and other countries labeled china's treatment of uighurs as genocide. china denies the human rights abuse allegations claiming their actions are justified to combat religious extremism and prevent terrorism. but in an exclusive report, cnn's david culver, cnn producer steven jiang and justin robertson traveled to the heavily surveilled region. and with the parents' permission, they went in search of the lost children of xinjiang. >> reporter: followed by a convoy of suspected undercover convoy police vehicles -- >> tail still on us. >> reporter: mimicking our every turn through china's far west xinjiang reason, blocking roads that lead to possible internment camps and keeping us from getting too close to so-called sensitive sites, how we ended up on this journey had less to do about us and more about who we were looking for. cnn searching for the

concerned about the use of uighur forced labor being used to pick cotton in the xinjiang reason, the part of chinay of these ethnic majorities -- minorities live. they said they did not source from their what were concerned. these comments have resurfaced, and you see a comment and social media in china from a youth communist group, saying spreading rumors to boycott xinjiang cotton while also wanting to make money in china? wishful thinking. ♪ laura: africa's elephants are gravely endangered, far more threatened than previous thought -- previously thought. the findings of one conservation group says poaching and loss of habitat has put them at great risk. our correspondent victoria reports. >> the largest land animals on earth. but their size has not protected them from the impacts of poaching or from the continued destruction of the vast swathes of interconnected habitat they need. this comprehensive report on how nature is faring in an increasingly crowded planet puts african elephants into the endangered category. forest elephants are now even closeto extinction, critically endangered. across

china. the reason and ethics barristers has been touted is because they were responsible for drawing up an opinionchina had committed genocide, using the g word, in xinjiang. it shows what of independentjudicial systems independent judicial systems and that is independentjudicial systems and that is that theyjust don't believe in it. why do we know what form these sanctions will take? we do. most people cannot come to china, neither can immediate members of theirfamily, and people here in china and chinese entities cannot do business with them. it is mostly tokenistic because those people are almost certainly unlikely to have those kind of business relationships anyway but nonetheless china is retaliating after a uk sanctions after a coordinated campaign from the uk, eu and us with sanctions of its own. in the last hour we are seeing some developments in terms of a separate story but one that is converging with these sanctions, and that is the targeting of some foreign companies for their criticisms of xinjiang and in particular claims of forced labour being used for harvesting cotton. we saw the

particular the contrast is striking with china i made a point about the double standards on china a moment ago and the reason for these double standards on china is very simple money there is masses of chinese money flushing of sloshing around both in terms of university foundations commercial money obviously huge chinese form is all arrested and large parts of the political establishment in western europe and as we know in the united states and of course i'm thinking of the bidens here in the pay of the chinese and it's very striking that russia maybe because she felt she had her fingers burnt with the soviet experience where the whole you know leadership of world communism ended up costing her a lot of money and she and her fingers on it maybe for that reason but russia as i say very much the opposite of what everyone says does not have a substantial soft power program in the world they don't they don't pay people ever pay lobbyists at least not very much i'm not i'm not aware of them paying very many lobbyists and this may be one of the reasons why they buy the relationship is so bad. it may simply be a m

accusations of genocide over actions jang against the muslim minority there within china so there are a lot of reasons for these negative views of china at the moment but they're the covert pandemic certainly been police is kind of icing on the cake. china's vaccine diplomacy which we saw there in europe or is obviously making some inroads up particularly in developing countries critics may point to questionable ethics there but isn't it true that china is filling a gap that western countries have not. that's absolutely right terry mean if you look at the vaccination situation in the west particularly in europe it's really not a pretty picture and 2 ways 1st of all governments are getting a cheese particularly in europe of being far too slow vaccinating their political ations getting vaccines rolled out far too slowly and but at the same time if you look at the actual numbers european governments are massively prioritizing their own people and so the united states compared to say the developing world now there is this international initiative called kovacs which has a lot of very high profile sign ups

the reason china is using its state power and propaganda tools against h&m and nike. is saying they don't like force labor in china, they don't like religious minorities being put into concentration camps and forced by the regime to -- to violate their conscious, to perform work, essentially just -- just an amazing appalling human rights situation there. those companies spoke up about it, china will not allow that and i think for president biden now this is the challenge. he keeps talking about how he's got such great relations with our friends around the world, that there's a new era and he would be able to manage foreign policy so much better. this is a challenge to push against this, to gather the rest of the world to -- to put pressure on china and i think a good step is trying to move towards zero tariffs everywhere but china and put commercial pressure on them to punish them. maria: well, he's not doing any of that right now, brian. we have not seen him push back on the ccp at all and we still have not heard him tell us where the coronavirus originated. we know t

anti china sentiment is actually high as we haven't seen since the 1997 square massacre and so china has reason to worry that it's dependencies on certain lynch and technologies like semiconductors is essentially a pressure point that other countries especially the united states can squeeze in a time of crisis so the united states is already trying to get its allies to cut china off from advanced computer chips which is essentially threatening to decapitate leading chinese tech firms like quality and c.t.e. so china is spending lots of money we'll see if it's able to overcome this i mean it's already spent tens of billions of dollars to try to build the next semiconductors but it's national she still isn't up to international standards professor michael bakley from the american enterprise institute thank you so much thank you. all of this for a couple of technical issues at the start of that interview well we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world starting near the workplace of opened fire on protesters in mandalay local media are reporting that one person

there are all sorts of reasons to do business with china including to take out.ng the commercial viability of the project itself. he was essentially to stay and power to bring home the bacon to the constituency hill had delivered him to power. to pay off there is local groups which are affiliated with the progress. from that reason, it was not surprising that the opposition would have been opposed. the logic of commercial engagements with china who would keep them in power suddenly started to work in their favor. that is why they were reconciled. there is also regional geopolitical as to why they may want to have good relations with china. india is a much bigger threat, historically speaking, they have -- the indian military even intervened directly. particularly in the early years of his presidency was on the outs in the international community. in a sense, partnership with china gave him geopolitical leverage and turning around and trying to prevent his case for human rights courts in the west. if he ever got to trial for some of the atrocities that were commit

secretary of state and anthony blinken criticized china's threats to reasonal security in visits to south korea and japan a week earlier the u.s. india japan and australia held a summit of the so-called quad group china's growing influence in the asia pacific region drove much of the discussion although the final communique didn't mention beijing it did voice support for the rule of law democracy and a region unconstrained by coercion. all right let's bring in our guests from washington d.c. scott snyder senior fellow for korea studies and director of the u.s. korea policy program at the council on foreign relations. in beijing melinda liu beijing bureau chief for newsweek and in kuala lumpur is far kim bang founder of strategic pan indo-pacific arena and former director of political and security community in the asean secretary it thank you all for joining us scott let me start with you today this was quite a tense confrontation at the beginning of the meeting between the u.s. and china how unexpected was that i don't know that it was necessarily that unexpected because the biden missed

china. that's very reasonable. ty, this loyalty test, which has its origins in beijing, which is all about imposing china's will on hong kong, it doesn't just apply to future lawmakers, it applies to civil servants, it presumably applies to other senior public officials, including judges and thejudiciary? so, what is happening here is the complete undermining of hong kong's autonomous special status? i'm afraid, again, you've got all the facts wrong. you know, the requirement to take oaths in article 104, you know, of the basic law, they have been there since 1997. alljudges have to take similar oaths. it's nothing new, you know, and it's very reasonable. public servants in other parts of the world also have to swear allegiance. and i saw an advertisement by the cia in the economist that they recruit patriotic professionals. what's wrong with that? recruiting patriotic civil servants? does it trouble you that there is now a great deal of fear in hong kong? we have seen that, in essence, every single voice of hong ko

china represents the generational threat and the reason for that is that the idea that china would become its economy matured is clearly for the birds. the question for any new foreign policy is not what people here at the foreign office think, but whether it changes people's lives. will this new focus on asia make people safer and more prosperous or will it neglect britain's interests closer to home? the report insists britain's commitment to euro—atlantic security is unequivocal with nato at its heart, but there is little about cooperation with europe on regional threats. like russia, which after the salisbury poison attack the report says remains the most acute threat to britain's security. the review rightly identifies russia as the number one threat that we face, both at home and abroad, but there was no strategy to work with our european partners to try to deal with that challenge, there was no strategy to repair our defences at home. to help tackle new threats there will be a white house—style situation room near downing street, and a new counter—terrorism operation centre and the

combat terrorism not to set up a defensive block china has not entered into any kind of defense or agreements with any other countries and there's good reason for that they're not looking for a confrontation so at this point yes china would be very interested in having the j c p o a put back in place the difficulty that you have here is that iran does not want to give any concessions other than going back to the to the basics they're very suspicious of the u.s. and the u.s. similarly so right now there's a huge trust deficit i don't know that china will be able to mend that but if there were a 3 party you know way of making sure that you know iran is sovereignty was respected that might help move things along but that would not be unilateral that would have to be guaranteed by all the major powers that's a reason to what extent does this deal between iran and china perhaps undercut washington's efforts to keep iran isolated. well i think that china has had a really good ride in the middle east because they've diversified their energy resources and so they they receive oil from all players in the region which is a smart strategy and they've

we see that as good reasons for asian markets in particular, including china, we had some correctionswe think of value for the markets in the year. the focus will be on growth recovery in the coming months. i think from the macro policy, fiscal and monetary policy, you will continue to offer supportive policy for growth restoration. haslinda: $1.9 trillion getting into the bank accounts of americans, how do you get that exposure here in asia? should we be looking at retail, should we be looking at hospitality, travel? >> what is good about bidens packages confirmed that the government has confirmed the policy incentives to support growth restoration globally in the u.s.. in europe we see the macro policies also participating in growth. it gives us a good platform in asia, in terms of the prospect for growth. so that is a positive momentum. you have the story moving forward. so it is good news to asia, but later on in a year, it will depend on how much growth has materialized as expected with the markets shifting later on. in the coming two months, i will see market continue to focus o

the reason is that china has decided to focus on leadership in ai by 2030 and is doing the necessaryeps to provide that leadership. we believe that it is a national emergency, literally a threat to our nation, unless we get our act together with respect to focusing on ai in the federal government and international security, and we make hundreds of recommendations for the congress and the white house to follow. >> but right now, eric, you do point out in the report china has twice as many super computers as the united states. you point out that its 5g program or the outlook is much, much stronger. you point out that the chinese use more data. they have four times as many people. all this -- i mean, this sounds like it's already happening, that they are moving ahead. >> they are planning to move ahead. we have a chance to save it. we continue to be the innovators globally. we continue to have the strongest and best companies. china is already a lead in face recognition, no surprise there, as well as in electronic commerce. they aspire to be leaders in synthetic biology, and they're alm

increasing security concerns coming from china and now the last friday in alaska with a contentious meeting, the attention is on full display there. >> that is part of the reason we have you on this morning just to check in on u.s. china relations and where they stand now. this was the first significant meeting between leaders of china and the u.s. government, secretary of state anthony lincoln and the leader of the foreign affairs chief for the chinese communist party and -- he was there as well so what is the stated purpose of that meeting to begin with? >> the purpose of the meeting just like at the beginning of every other u.s. administration is that china is trying to make connections with the new officials in charge and purpose has always been for decades that china wanted to maintain some sort of peaceful relations with the western world. this way they could rise in the global stage but there is a main difference here. i think, what came as a surprise to many people, that contentious meeting last friday, was that people thought or at least many thought that the biden administration is going to be, in some sense, like the obama administration being relat
