has xi jinping's timetable or calculation in relation to the south china sea, their alliance within asia, has that changed in any fundamental way? it has not. it remains constant. these are the two underlying elements in china's grand strategy which is why it makes for difficult summit for president biden on both of those questions. it is continuing to de-risk economically. the united states remains vigilant on national security questions. >> the unity of china being -- it is considered a responsible way of achieving it. xi jinping has been studied a lot. maybe a contribution between the fact that to achieve rejuvenation you need a strong economy but you don't want to take any risk. you are ready to crush some of the private sector as well as you did with minority and -- on the protest, i think it was very difficult. the protest was very local. unrest -- most of all i think it is a systemic struggle. in beijing after a lockdown of such a scale it provoked a real difficulty. we ask if it was -- cities completely overwhelmed. the protests, they were of a limited scale. >> good answers from

he told obama he wasn't going to militarize the south china sea and then he did that. old trump he was going to work on fentanyl and china is dishonest on other issues. it lies about genocide. it lies about its gdp numbers. we have to take anything agreed upon with a grain of salt. >> do they understand each other, these two leaders? >> they spent a lot of time together. i was living in beijing when biden came over the first time and met with him. they went out on this buddy comedy road trip. they went across china and then xi came to the united states and visited in los angeles. biden came back and said to his advisers and said, this man doesn't have a democratic bone in his body and we've got our hands full with this guy. biden understands how xi jinping regards himself than different as the guys before. >> for the meeting this week, look, this time of year -- about a year and a day ago we met in bali on the sidelines of the g20. since then, key members of our teams have had important discussions on issues that matter to both our nations and to the world. as always, t

in that time, tensions have soared in the south china sea, with dozens of aggressive maneuvers by themr. biden told xi, they need to be in closer touch. >> i think it is paramount that you and i understand each other clearly, leader to leader, with no misconceptions or miscommunication. >> reporter: the president also hoped to reestablish communications between the u.s. and chinese militaries. suspended after then-house speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan in august 2022, enraging china's leadership. after the u.s. shot down a chinese spy balloon off the coast of south carolina this past february, secretary of defense lloyd austin could not reach his chinese counterpart. three weeks later, norah spoke to admiral samuel paparo for "60 minutes" amid the uss nimitz, which had just left the south china sea. >> norah: if the u.s. and chinese militaries can't communicate over a chinese spy balloon, then what is going to happen when there is a real crisis in the south china sea or with taiwan? >> we will hope that they will answer the phone. else we'll do our very best assessment, based on th

now they can pick up south china sea.e not misinterpreted essentially. that it isn't seen as an act of war. as for al and the creation of a working group, and when it comes to fentanyl and an agreement to work together on countering narcotics. that felt more personal for the united states, particularly as this country is still in the grip of an opioid ep epidemic and president biden is going to an election year. so, what has the reaction been in beijing to these talks? our correspondent stephen mcdonell sent this update. one thing that is interesting, you know, you might expect that in state media there would be some reference or condemnation ofjoe biden answering a question about whether xijinping is a dictator. he was askedif xijinping is a dictator. he was asked if he believed that, he said yes. but i have not seen any reference to that in the media here. sometimes when the government wants a problem to go away, itjust tells the media, after all all controlled by the party, just to be quiet about something. in fact the

issues like artficial intelligence, taiwan, the south china sea and the israel gaza war. e two leaders are also expected to agree on steps to crack down on the flow of fentanyl from china to the us. but going by what we've already heard from us officials — one major goal mightjust be simply improving communication. live now to san francisco. we can speak to sumi somaskanda. the white house has been playing down what we can expect. it is an important meeting, nonetheless? that is absolutel important meeting, nonetheless? twat is absolutely right. this is being called a significant meeting but they are talking about talking, about re—establishing a lot of communication, not only between president biden and president xi at the highest level, but military to military. there was this accusation from the us that china had flown a spy from the us that china had flown a spy balloon and then either shut down the spy billing. the chinese rejected those accusations. at that time the us military try to help china never depicted. it was a source of great consternation in the us. who do

in recent years, the south china sea has been the arena of confrontation between the naval forces of washington and beijing. the images taken by the researchers of new dimensions of it depicts the world's largest iceberg, which has recently broken away from the frozen regions and is moving towards the arctic ocean. the approximate area of ​​this iceberg is about 4 thousand square kilometers. according to scientists, this iceberg is the largest surviving piece of the iceberg that was released from the filchner ice zone about 37 years ago. until the next part of the news. god is great, god is great, god is great, god is great, god is great. oh my love, my love, my love, my love, muhammad , my daughter, all the blessings , mama, mama, hello, you wrote me a letter. sharaftwa or noor al-ayb sharaftwa or noor al-ayb praise be to god, praise be to god, praise be to god , praise be to god. until death, takbeer allah akbar, takbeer allah akbara, and we men, and laatah, and us men , ab obeedah, qallah, qallah , shouf sho, sari , shouf. god is great , god is great, god is great, god is great ,

but personally i believe the south china sea actually is more dangerous, because america keeps on sending and aircraft, surveillance and reconnaissance. the american military talks about how china had more than 180 interceptions in the last couple of years. once every four days. but the question is, where are we doing that? in china's doorstep, not the waters of the usa. these are fundamental differences. for decades, we have been talking about the one china concept, which means safety, worrying about the safety of the sailors and the air crew and aircraft and ships... but talking about security, sovereignty of territory. two sides of the same coin, but we need to find a way not to run into conflict, which is a common interest. finally, president _ common interest. finally, president biden _ common interest. finally, president biden did - common interest. finally, president biden did say i common interest. finally, | president biden did say he talked to xijinping president biden did say he talked to xi jinping about the current conflict in gaza. that no agreement came from it. but what do

the president of the philippines is wanting of an increasingly dire situation in the south china sea. food and monk was junior says, china has been building islands closer to the philippines. it's forcing manila to purchase neighbors for support on a be low reports like clockwork. as soon as the philippines apply mission nears the 2nd toma show in the south china sea chinese ships and birch cutting across their paths. manila costs them dangerous maneuvers as for the lives of our person as had cities. preaching says they are lawful and restraint this philippine coast guard vessel. we are on attempting for a 2nd time to get closer to the 2nd toma shows. but you can see that the chinese maritime leisure vessel, or the moving to close the opening as well as the chinese coast guard vessel over there. our ship leaves us way through. but from a far we see a chinese coast guard vessel blasting water cannon onto a philippine supply boat calling for patients like this have become the norm. speaking of the forum in hawaii, philippine president for the men marcus junior describe the situation as

how are they doing and handling china bilaterally with friends and allies into the global south with her adversaries with particular emphasis on the technological and economic challenges. thank you. >> great question. would you like to start? >> i just finished an exhaustive set of remarks. when i was in china i was a first secretary and remember seeing [inaudible] [laughter] a word or two about the administration. this is a difficult challenge for any administration but when i look at one core element of the administration strategy, which was to restore the health of the u.s. alliances around asia and around the risk to the world in general quite apart from the particular references to terrorists in relation to china or taiwan maintaining strategic balance and equilibrium. against where we werere a number of years ago compared to where we are now is not to say that the administration has achieved some remarkable progress. ie look at the pre- minister at camp david recently and the pre- minister in the white house last week when i saw the pacific island recentlyer and i see the relati

stability to the situation in eastern southeast asia, you know, because there are points like the south chinais such a point as taiwan, at any moment, there are even the sonkaku islands, so to speak, also at any moment the moment where china now began to produce gas, and the japanese, so to speak, acted, again, you will notice, america is in a state of some, so to speak, movement forward, even. they promised the filipinos that now that’s it, they will defend these interests in the south china sea, but before they said we won’t, because only around the philippines, the same thing is now happening from japan, and even they said that we will protect it, we will intervene, so the japanese said no, no, there is no need to interfere, we are all there ourselves, all these we will resolve issues, so here, compared to the middle east, of course, we are seeing a completely different trend, a very dangerous trend, and a trend that is designed for a fairly long period of time, this is the first such moment, so that we just really understand that yes indeed , united states they transfer their main efforts

there has been some very troubling encounters in the south china sea between chinese fighter jets then planes. that kind of thing could cause some kind of miscalculation or accidental conflict, and i'm sure they are going to talk about that, and try to establish... this is the one thing that might come out of the meeting, some new commitment to military communications, that have been suspended effectively for at least a year, if not more. mostly by the chinese side. that could be one thing that comes out of this.— comes out of this. more broadly. _ comes out of this. more broadly, looking - comes out of this. more broadly, looking at - comes out of this. more | broadly, looking at apec, comes out of this. more i broadly, looking at apec, a group of 21 economies. together they account for around 60% of world trade. what do you think could come out of this summit? are there any potential deliverables? t are there any potential deliverables?— are there any potential deliverables? ~ ~ , . , deliverables? i think apec is not the kind _ deliverables? i think apec is not the kind of _ delive

there has been no change in chinese behaviour in the south china sea.ays will be. spying is, you know, goes way back in history, you know, and that will continue. but there are norms, right? there are norms about what is acceptable and what is not in spying, right? for example, i just talked about the chinese theft of intellectual property, right? that�*s outside the norms, right? united states has never stolen intellectual property from our competitors and given them to our companies to give them a competitive advantage, right? that�*s what china does every day. that�*s outside the norms. so, while spying will continue, right, there are some types of spying which are unacceptable and should be unacceptable. so, what does that do for the trust between the two nations, then? so, i think more important than, you know, intelligence operations is the trust issue with regard to taiwan. we think the chinese want to go and how the chinese think about how the us would respond to any sort of military operation, chinese military operation against taiwan. that�*s

and that kind of behavior also has continued throughout the south china sea wherever china has decided, yes, this might be labeled an international waterway according to international law. but we consider it part of our territory, and we are going to patrol it accordingly. that's the kind of thorny issue that biden is going to have to bring up. >> how critical is it to managing this frosty relationship as the war in ukraine continues, you know, and the u.s. is countering russia. and now you have the israel-hamas war threatening to balloon into a broader conflict in the middle east? >> well, in some senses the u.s. comes to this conversation a bit wounded by having to support israel on the international stage. despite the horrendous action of october 7th, what has dominated at the u.n. and -- and media channels across the world are the pictures of palestinians on the receiving end of israeli air strikes. and so when biden tries to get china to stop supporting russia, for instance, in the war on ukraine, they can come back with the -- the israelis cut off various food, water, electricity

the things like the south china sea where china is active, and the united states have worked around that and the philippines, and also there are military people there now, too. that's so we are there to be meaningful. those are things that are not going to be straightened out this week or next week or next year. but the edges where we can see the two sides coming together, that's a starting point. that's good for xi because he has to go back home to a bad economy, and it's good for president biden. >> you read my mind, and here is president biden approaching the podium. we will take it live now. >>> our meetings have been candid and straightforward, and we have not always agreed but they have always been straightforward. and we have made some important progress, i believe. first, i am pleased to announce after many years of being on hold, we are restarting cooperation between the united states and prc and counter narcotics. in 2019, you may remember, china took action to greatly reduce the amount of fentanyl shipped from china to the united states. but since that time the challenge has e

we will find out very soon if us presidentjoe biden talks about taiwan and the south china sea in remarks he is expected to deliver after talking to china's president, xijinping. they talked forfour china's president, xijinping. they talked for four hours at an estate near san francisco, they took a nice stroll in the garden afterwards as well. this of course is the first meeting between the two leaders for a year and a day. they last met in bali at the 620 last year. and we may be seeing... no, not president bidenjust and we may be seeing... no, not president biden just yet. you are looking at pictures of the press conference, where we are expecting us presidentjoe biden to deliver remarks after his meeting with china's resident, xijinping. this meeting comes after a year, the first face—to—face meeting they've had for a year, but a time when relations are really deteriorating over military conflicts, drug—trafficking and artificial intelligence. they are expected... they were expected to talk about all of those things, we will hear if they came to any agreements shortly. we can cross ov

still taiwan a big source of tension, as are china's actions in the south china sea.ill these tensions be addressed do you think in this meeting? reporter: those are two of the main fundamental issues and i expect they will be addressed in the way that both sides continue to view them. taiwan is probably the biggest issue for china because it claims that territory as its own and the united states doesn't have diplomatic relations with taiwan but very robust unofficial relations and gives it weapons so it's always a source of tension. there will be an election next year so it could be even more of a source of tension. it's possible xi jinping will look for more reassurances from the united states it doesn't support independent taiwan, perhaps a public declaration. i think mr. biden will repeat u.s. concerns about very assertive, aggressive the americans at say, military action by the chinese near taiwan in recent months. the south china sea, also the chinese are very assertive about their disputed territorial claims and the americans have become much more vocal about s

the answering countries essentially, you know, surround the south china sea, which is the key chop point, that the us military strategy sees as essential for choking out china. this is what they call as the bible. as the bible involves choking off them a lot, go straight to the south china sea and they need the support of the as young countries. they would also like to create a land base along the west and a line of china as well. but all of this is to say that the us once as young countries to align with it. but as you point out the, as you and countries have their own agenda, you know, they are, they have many divergent priorities. but the key priority for that is to develop and in order to develop a china as a neighbor, your neighbor is not going away. they need to have good relations with them. and so if you look at the, as you and countries on the spectrum, you know, the countries that have most firmly in the us court would clearly be philippines. and then we can think of the more capitalist state singapore, malaysia birthday, which are, you know, it's slightly leaning towards the u

the american submarine uss hopper was expelled after it violated its territorial waters in the south china. beijing considers this us action as a threat to china's sovereignty and security and a clear document of washington's maritime hegemony. in recent years, south china has been the arena of confrontation between the washington and beijing navies. the number of flood victims in question reached more than 90 people. in a statement, the sumali natural disaster management organization informed about the displacement of tens of thousands of people in this country. in the last two weeks various regions of somalia, including the northern cities of this country, have been flooded and displaced 700,000 people. aid agencies have announced that 1 million and 700 thousand people in somalia need urgent help. the horn of africa has been affected by torrential rains and flooding of rivers since two weeks ago due to jovi el-nin phenomenon. this region has been suffering from drought since 40 years ago. efforts to rescue 41 workers trapped in a tunnel in india continue. these people were caught two wee

sea, above the waters of the south china sea, every two or three months, american tv channels withtalk about cases... of dangerous convergence of planes of the us air force and the people's liberation army of china, well , this is the result, that is, they returned to the same the point where they started, having slipped into the abyss themselves, that is, they simply climbed back, the second story, even more revealing, the chinese and americans accuse china of the fact that chinese chemical enterprises feed drug cards, laboratories and production facilities with components of production. centers of drug cartels in mexico and because of this they say here in america, well, specifically, yes , san francisco is one of these centers, there is an epidemic of fentanyl, this is an artificial apiate, very cheap, this kind of heroin, fentanyl addicts can be found among broad daylight, nowhere, in fact, they haven’t gone away from here, that is, yes, in the literal sense they built patemkin villages, then they closed them, whitewashed them somewhere. somewhere they removed something, somewh

states of america , on the one hand, as you said , there is also the issue of the crisis in the south china the situation of ukraine . the head does not mean the critical situation it exists there, and the americans are between two stages, or actually two fronts , one is the security situation of the zionist regime , which is presented as a basic and strategic approach for them. to establish an international basis, the need for the kind of interactions are actually tense with china, especially in the maritime area of ​​south china and taiwan, and as you said, ukraine. the important point is that we are suffering from an exhaustion of the international economy. normally , if we carefully let's make economic exhaustion one percent it is normal that in the field of corona and kovid, this reached 1.4 percent, in fact, but in the storm of aqsa , it reached 16 percent, and this means that you lose the market makers, you lose the supply chain, and the energy field actually has an increase in prices. . that now the prices of oil are actually increasing in the world markets, this is causing economic

what is happening that is really important for the balance of power that is now emerging in the south chinacollision, well , at least the twenty-seventh year was determined then, then they reduced it to the twenty- fifth year, but still this is not the twenty- third year. the united states, in turn, would like to avoid this clash, insofar as they will not survive a third conflict. although in the national security strategy a year ago, they adopted biden ’s end, what are you talking about now, they will not bring up a third conflict , they will not bring up a third conflict, and they won’t bring everything up, they are not yet fully involved in any of the conflicts, they are involved everywhere, in each, at every moment they can, please, iran is involved, brilliantly pursuing its proxy policy in so many conflicts that my mother is not grieving and a large number may still be involved, how much is a 155mm projectile now worth alone, but what difference does it make, but how many iran quietly calmly installed drones that solved all these problems and gave the opportunity with relatively small

, and a departure from what we have observed for at least the last year and a half, when in the south china, the chinese military behaved quite aggressively towards the filipino fishermen, well , in fact they are militarizing the south china sea, and there is an increase in nuclear capabilities, well, in fact, there seem to be 60 warheads for in the last year and a half, they have built up, let's say so to the entire arsenal, and we all remember what xi jinping said to putin that they are on the threshold of big changes that happen once every 100 years, that is, they mean taking over the leadership of the united states, and china should take the lead, that is, all these things, they are quite a complicated knot of problems and the most important thing. that this dialogue is taking place is the first thing, and secondly, the chinese agreed to resume the dialogue between the military, it stopped last year in august, when the speaker of the house of representatives, at that time, a democrat visited taiwan and after that the chinese actually cut off any dialogue, that is, this is the most impor

there have been some very troubling encounters in the south china sea between chinese fighter jets andr accidental conflict, and i'm sure they are going to talk about that, and try to establish... this is the one thing that might come out of the meeting, some new commitment to military communications, that have been suspended effectively for at least a year, if not more. mostly by the chinese side. that could be one thing that comes out of this. more broadly, looking at apec, a group of 21 economies. together they account for around 60% of world trade. what do you think could come out of this summit? are there any potential deliverables? i think apec is not the kind of organisation that's going to deliver headline making breakthroughs. i think there will be some useful things that will come out, for example on the energy transition, helping economies in the region move towards cleaner energy sources of production, and with financial support from the advanced members of the group. there will be issues on disaster relief, women's empowerment. some other useful things. i don't think this

the one to watch and the one i'm concerned about is the south china sea where the u.s. d china are kind of bumping up against each other. that's why we need this military-to-military contact so we can diffuse those situations, chris. >> andrea, let me ask you to take us inside that room when those two men go inside that room. you have so much experience covering so many administrations, and so many high-stakes meetings like this. we talked about president xi, what he wants to accomplish, what he has to gain here domestically in china. this is a president who is under a lot of pressure on foreign policy, but also has extensive foreign policy experience, who has been in the room for these high stakes meetings. what's it like in there from are the minutiae of we've not heard president xi speak english, so this is an interpreter situation, to the kind of stance, the kind of personality that you think president biden brings to this? >> well, president biden is chatty, and he is very well versed in the issues. but what he found i am told by people who were in the room for the

about $5.5 trillion of trade are ferried through the south china sea and in and around the taiwan straitsflict of friction like we are seeing in the ukraine or in the middle east, this would be fundamentally disruptive to all the economies in the region and the economies in the region and the global economy as well. as a result, they are investing heavily in resilience and deterrence but also still engaging with china and other countries who are interested in changing the status quo. thank ou. a changing the status quo. thank yom a former _ changing the status quo. thank you. a former director - changing the status quo. thank you. a former director of - you. a former director of engineering at the company meta isjob was once maintaining safety on instagram has told us politicians he believes the platform is failed to tackle the levels of sexual harassment that teenagers are exposed to on the app. he testified this afternoon in washington saying he knew it meant he wouldn't work in a tech industry again. the hours spent scrolling, posting stylish photos and messaging mates, the friendly fa

, not on the ukrainian issue, not in relations with russia , not on the middle east, not on the south china but i still support something. well, look, as if in fact, let's start with business captains, business captains go to comrades when a comrade with this captain needs it, this meeting is of a much higher level than what took place there, he is personally acquainted with all those people, who were there, comrade si knows all this elite very well and knows perfectly well what they are worth, which of them is worth what, so to perform there for this purpose was pure pr, which, well, was also needed, i think comrade siwal did comrade biden a big favor when he went to see him. the american administration really wanted this; the chinese leadership did not confirm this meeting for a very long time. in the end, it worked for her. i think that comrade sieh went to this meeting for internal political reasons in china, which we know little about, due to the great opacity of this country. that's all. everything else was an absolutely useless summit meeting, from which biden benefited more. again,

navy said not only does it have navigational rights in the south china sea, but international law allowst passage without advance approval or notice the u.s. is rebuffing what it calls china's unlawful restrictions requiring permission to pass and this comes as 2 u.s. allies, australia and the philippines launched their first joint and air patrols in the area. china has claimed nearly all of the south china sea attempts to control maritime rights there without any legal basis, ignori g claims by the philippines, vietnam, indonesia and several other countries in the region. beijing has station many military ships in the sea as a show of force. the u.s. navy responding to china's accusations that it is disrupting peace in the region saying, quote, the united states upholds freedom of navigation for all nations as a principal, as long some countries continue to claim at a certain limits on wright said exceed their authority under international law. the united states will continue to defend the rights and freedoms of the sea guarantee to all. and marty, what we're watching for today's how th

competition to make sure nothing goes off the rails here when we have seen some very close calls in the south china sea and taiwan strait in recent months, chris. >> the context here, monika, of course, you've got a 20-year period after the admission of china from the wto in the 90s, the favored nation trading session status in the clinton administration, of the increasing economic activity between the two countries, the two largest economies in the world. over the last few years, we have seen what many people have called a decoupling, untangling of the economic connection between the two nations. we've seen a decline in foreign investment in china. we've also seen increasingly adversarial and nationalist rhetoric on both sides, both from u.s. politicians, particularly under donald trump, and from others, you see it in public opinion, and from the chinese government and its spokespeople, as well as from chinese foreign opinion on chinese social media sites and the like. robert gibbs is with us. he served as white house press secretary for president barack obama. john berner is the former director o
