many ways it is a feckless organization, however, what the african countries are now as well as southeast asians, east asians, they're waiting for assistance. by the time your daughter gets the funds, it's going to be too late. these things are going to explode and we live in a world where we now have many africans who study at yale, who study at other places, and they're going to go home and come back and bring this to us. so we're not immune. there are so many things we could do with the whole of government approach using our once-- the unique capabilities of our military, aid and-- and i could not, in conclusion, my distinguished aunt patterson reminds me we got lazy, we got -- we didn't engage and we need to really engage because although governments are saying to us, they understand why we have downgraded our embassies at this time, they're really saying, you're leaving us. so we need to get back there, sir. >> i regret to say that my daughter doesn't get regular funds. she has to go out and raise the funds, it's a private enterprise, but did have the participation of the peace corps, 100 d

african countries have dealt with previous epidemics, as have, as we have heard already, some southeast asianhe lessons. there is a global race for resources and not everybody is getting them. let's move on a bit to how to come out of lockdown, old normals, new normals and actual normals as president trump calls them. president trump pining for something that went before but more than 100,000 americans are dead, more than 40 million are unemployed and now, this weekend, as if a pandemic and economic crisis were not enough, we see racialfault lines opening up with huge demonstrations and rioting in some american cities. so, politically, economically, which aspect of the old normals are still available for trump's america to go to? look, in the short term i don't think much will change because the thing about donald trump's presidency isn't that it changed anything. it revealed what had been going on under the surface. and the riots that have been going on over the weekend, they may burn themselves out, we don't know. but they come out of another spate of african—american men being murdered and

fire in other ways secretary of state mike pompei oh is urging members of the association of southeast asian nations to stand up to china accusing that country of taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to grab more territory many analysts reject that claim and a number of the south east asian states that are involved in the territorial dispute are accusing the u.s. of stoking trouble to forward its own interests meanwhile china maintains that it is working with others in the region to preserve peace and stability here is china's foreign minister at last summer's is yet meeting in bangkok well it was a nice little we think non reading country should not deliberately amplify differences in disputes left from the past in fact they should support the efforts by china in asia and in having these differences properly addressed we don't they. these non region countries should make use of these differences to sow dispute in china and asian countries from trade to the coronavirus washington is hitting china on multiple levels the dispute that's trying to see is just another step in a plan which

have seen that another southeast asian countries as well. that is something to keep in mind.er aspect is that china has been one of the engines of growth of the world for a number of years now, and it is not going to be. the bloomberg consensus forecast for growth is just 20% now. in 2021, they are expected to grow 8%. for now, they are not going to have that extra buyer out there that the world had been counting on. it means slower growth overall for everyone. guy: talking of buyers, as the u.s. tries to sell more and more debt, china has traditionally been a reasonably substantial buyer of that debt. is there a danger here that that could be put at risk? everybody is trying to manage their economies at the moment. the chinese are going down one route. they are not going to stimulate heavily. the u.s. is going down a completely different route and is going to need a lot of buying for that paper. michael: it is hard to know exactly what is going to happen. so far, we have seen uptake of u.s. paper. nobody is worried about it. the chinese have primarily been buying over the ye

outside the response i got from one southeast asian finance minister. he goes firing the united states as an alternative to the one way told road to beijing and i think what they understand is this is a unified and equitable alternative to that one road initiative. i have been fortunate enough in my career to build two networks. one was the her aretha network which has $7 trillion of commerce on an annual basis and the other is the global trust network that adds 800 million unique users and hundreds of thousands of companies. when you are building a network there are three objectives. number one you maximize the number of members. the power of the network is the number of members. the second one is to reduce the friction between the nodes. the software is missed is -- also trust standards and that's exactly what we are doing with the economic cost 30 network to the third one is to maximize the value for each one of those nodes for each one of those members so one of the things that we are doing is we are putting together prosperity partnerships or devel

hong kong made in hong kong most of what hong kong exports to us comes from china and vietnam, southeast asian countries and those goods are subject to the tariff that is apply to goods originating in those countries so chinese goods through hong kong they're already subject to the high tariff this is apply if they're shipped directly from china. hong kong could ship to the united states, last year about 4 4$75 million and putting tariffs on that wouldn't have much affect on the hong kong economy. >> i guess the bigger question is about hong kong as a global financial center i'm not sure it's an interest many americans need to be bothered about maybe financial firms and tens of thousands of americans that live in hong kong. is it more about trying to undermine hong kong as a source of prosperity for the chinese as it becomes more a part of china? >> well, that may be part of the president's thinking or secretary pompeo's thinking but i think it's mistaken. china does not rely very much anymore about funds raised in hong kong. hong kong was extremely important 20, 10 years ago but today not so

>> so in mid-december, because of work i'd previously done, i done that and southeast asian earlier in my career, mid-december started from contacts i'd had for a while started getting reports from them about a number that them and starting to spread in a central chinese city that didn't quite match up with any of the known viral pathogens. some of my colleagues and i started e-mailing about that. i shared some of that informally with members of my team, some of the medical epidemiologist, and by january 1, when the world health organization declared -- when china notified the world health organization there is an outbreak on her hand, my team and i arty been up to speed all we came back after work after the new year we started meeting on a frequent basis look at the possibility of the virus spreads and what that would look like in maine. a few weeks after that we turned up the dial even more by activating our command system via diagnostics, starting to think about investigation, starting to think about case isolation. those are the same things we are talking about here today. one of t
