the tra ns—pacific partnership agreement that was the cornerstone of president obama's trade policy in the asian is the thing that donald trump basically tore up when he came into office saying it was unfair to american workers and unfair to the us economy. when he gets into that room a little later on today to sit down and address the leaders of the 21 economies, it will be a tough crowd. they want to know whether or not the us is still committed to the asia—pacific region, what his vision of america first actually means and whether it can work at a time when there is a competing interest in the neighbourhood in the form of china, that is increasingly gaining economic influence and political influence. even in countries like vietnam, with whom they have historically tense relations, sitting on the edge of the south china sea here. a contested waterway between china and vietnam. and still appears that china is gaining some ground and you get a sense of that at summits such as this. so all eyes on the big speech to be made later today. and just briefly, we know that president putin has flown in.

the asia pacific economic leaders meeting has grown to become one of the most important events on the international summit calendar it's true that the european leaders are not here but pretty much everyone else who really has a say in international politics is president the crisis that's currently viewed by many as one of the most dangerous for our planet is also from the asia pacific region of course i'm driving at north korea plus the apec summit is where donald trump and vladimir putin may meet for the second time ever about a few kilometers away you will find scores of high rise buildings most of them are hotels and the most luxurious ones have been reserved for the so-called buy a lot of rolls of presidents and prime ministers but we have no idea which is the one for mr putin and mr trump in fact we don't even know when the meeting is going to happen or if it will take place after all so it's a hell of a mystery how the two it ministrations have been arranging this what could vladimir putin and donald trump bring up if they end up meeting the usual russo american makes of the las

how to increase business opportunities in an uncertain world that is the focus of the asia pacific regional conference being held in perth australia the gathering brings together political and business leaders from australia germany the asia pacific nations to help boost the trade now germany is being represented by former president or president rather frank. here's what he had to say. there's been a mess europe has not been as prominent in this region as it once was so me is an decades ago and yet seen here so i think our attendance has as a wake up call europeans to increase our presence. and so i especially at a time when the world is changing also in this southeastern region. and china with its strong economy and the high expectations on his politicians is naturally assuming an increase in the dominant role will people are asking where is america. and where is europe. and there are many good reasons why europe should take on a more prominent role in the region with india. climate experts and activists are gathering in the german city of bomb for the u.n. climate change conference that w

starting with us president donald trump who had a clear message for the leaders gathered at the asia—pacificc cooperation summit in vietnam, if you want to trade with the world's big economy you will have to reach a bilateral deal. this as delegates from the other 11 countries try to save a deal that he has pulled out shortly after he moved into the white house. if it did include the united states, the tpp would have included 12 countries whose economies are worth some $29 trillion. that is about 38% of the world's economy. but the world's biggest economy, the usa, is so big that without them it's only worth $10 trillion — orjust13.5% of the world economy. the remaining 11 nations would benefit from lower tariffs as well as new rules for labour, the environment and intellectual property. but the us retreat from the deal is also providing a big opportunity for china. here's what the us and chinese leaders had to say. i will make bilateral trade agreements with any indo—pacific nation that wants to be our partner, and that will abide by the principles of fair and reciprocal trade. what we will

but as host of the asia pacific economic cooperation summit is at the center of a new struggle between the united states and china which are both vying for influence in asia the respective presidents coming to apec have a contrast in views on the best way for countries to do business with one another. she jinping is a globalist and is backing the proposed trade deal known as the regional comprehensive economic partnership involving sixteen countries donald trump is seen as a protectionist and prefers bilateral deals instead of multilateral ones like the trans-pacific partnership that he withdrew from the remaining eleven countries including vietnam are forging ahead when the d.p.p. was signed last year vietnam was touted as one of the big winners from the deal because of its strong export led economy even though the united states has pulled out the vietnamese government still wanted to go ahead and is pushing for a new agreement to be reached this week some experts believe the summit will provide an opportunity for a pic members to try to convince donald trump to. think differently abo

think it will try to set the vision under his administration of what the us's role is in the asia—pacificr he is tour around china and japan. he will get around china and japan. he will get a chance to engage with many of the foreign leaders, asia—pacific leaders, that have a vested interest in what's going on in the us. his speech will be followed by president xi jinping's speech will be followed by president xijinping's speech. resident speech will be followed by president xi jinping's speech. resident g has taken ironically the mantle of globalisation and free trade —— president xi. he says china is open for business and he believes in the free and open economy. so it is interesting to see that the two of them may end up delivering starkly contrasting views of free trade at a time when it is certainly being felt at forums like this at least, that the us is influencing the region. all right. we will let you go. of course president trump is due to arrive soon, so course president trump is due to arrive soon, so we course president trump is due to arrive soon, so we will talk to you again

doesn't trust the ambition that china has in the asia pacific region speaking of the asia pacific region being one of the ways that the u.s. had intended to try to contain china was the transpacific trade and investment agreement t p p donald trump's first act as president was to get out of that agreement did he in essence hand the rest of asia to china by doing so i don't think the issue is so plain. we can study china's response upon. try fitting. many people suppose that china would step in in the beauty of other trade allies aligns with sure it doesn't happen yet china is not intended apparently to do that instead china. despite all the declaration of protecting our free trade china and. truce use something else china to suit for example you use euro just one sided west from and without any. fair play of for the protection of your west many china shut down the only market for european enterprises it is not just the policy of xi jinping but she's jumping continues and i think. it is quite obvious that the united staes in some term just follow china's example donald trump says america

the asia pacific economic cooperation summit ended with yet another photo opportunity the twenty one leaders came together in vietnam on the back of a difficult year for trade that continued on the sidelines of a pic with canadian prime minister justin trudeau at the center he initially balked at a deal to push ahead with the trans-pacific partnership trade agreement involving eleven apec members but after further often heated discussions between government ministers all t p p members finally agreed on the core elements of the pact. all eleven of us have agreed on the content we've maintained exactly the same high standards to twelve i think we've maintained a balance we've avoided opting for lower standards there are lots of areas where if you rush to agree high standards will be sacrificed but if you insist on high standards we can take a long time or some countries might drop out so all eleven countries are on board and this will send a very strong message to the us and other countries in the region. that message is asia pacific countries see regional trade deals as the best way f

we, the asia-pacific economies, know this too well from our own development experience. t in place a regional corporation framework that ensures consultation among equals, participation and shared benefits. we should build an open asia-pacific economy. make economic globalization more open, inclusive and balanced so that it can benefit different countries and people of different social groups. we should proactively adapt to the evolving international division of labor and actively reshape the global value chain, so as to upgrade our economies and build up new strength. we should support the multilateral trading regime and regional -- to allow members to benefit more from international trade and investment.

as the world's economic power moves rapidly to asia the response of the united states is to deploy the majority of its naval forces to asia and the pacific this massive military buildup is known in washington as the pivot to asia the target is china. the great power game in the twenty first century it's called potential war. for america's an unchallenged arms industry the annual prize is huge profits from almost six hundred billion dollars of military spending. once an imaginary weapon on star wars the electromagnetic gun is now reality you're sitting there thinking about these next generation and futuristic ideas and we've got scientists who have designed these and it's coming to life. and the smartest weapons made enemies as a pacific nation and the united states will play a larger and long term role in shaping this region and its future i have directed my national security team to make our presence and mission in the asia pacific a top priority in one sentence. is the u.s. already a ball with china yes on the ground and in the air the winner of the nobel peace prize president barack obama has committed to trillions of dollars of to ou

president donald t trump is in vietnam to attend the asia-pacific economimic cooperation summit and discuss trade with leaders from 21 member countries. the visit is part of his five-nation tour in asia. hours after leaving china, trump took the stage of the apec summit and gave an address that criticized china's lack of a balanced trade relationship with the united states and condemned the multilateral accords pursued by past presidents. pres. trump: for many years, the united states systematically openeded our econonomy with feww conditioions. we lowered or ended tariffs, reduced trade barriers, and allowed foreign goods to flow freely into our country. marketle w we lowered barriers, other countries did not open their markets to us. funny. they must have been one of the beneficiaries. simply put, we have not been treated fairly by the world trade organization. organizations like the wto can only function properly when all members followed the rules and respect the sovereign rights of every member. we cannot achieieve open markets if we do not insure fair market access. i do not blame chi
