faces are larger than that and include some cute ones too, dealing with north korea, japan and the east china sea. i think the one thing closest to a critical issue between the u.s. and china is the whole cyberquestions. i think the chin ease are beginning to realize that they run the risk of alienating the part of the american structure that has been most supportive of them over the past decade. essentially the tech establishment, the intellectual establishment. if you have google thinking china is an enemy of intellectual freedom and intellectual property, that is a problem for china and the world. i think it's an important meeting even though nothing much is going to be dichb after it happens. >> china isn't yet in a position where it can assert it is alongside the united states as the other global major superpower and doesn't want to provoke us by going there. on the other hand there's a president worst slogan is chinese dream. there is growing nationalism in the country which the leadership is in part responsible for creating. there is a sense that as china's economy moves relatively quickly

the issue of china's engagement with the other claimant countries diplomatically as well as china's particular behavior on the seas, but it is in the scarborough or in the south china sea as well as the east china sea is an issue the president and the top officials including the secretary have raised consistently with the chinese as well as the east asian summit where they are accounted for in the multilateral with the chinese they are no doubt that america stands by our allies. as a competing plan and our relationship with japan with whom china has a sovereignty dispute over the east china sea. these are issues that the chinese understand that directly implicate the u.s. interest and it will have an effect on the prospect for the u.s.-china relationship. so i believe, senator, that we have delivered this message consistently and clearly and we have reinforced the confidence of our partners and allies and have given a constructive boost to the efforts to begin the negotiations directly with china on a code of conduct. i think that we have supported other diplomatic recourse to the national law on the part of the claimants and if confirmed, sadr, i certainly will do everything in my power

pivotal rebalancing in the iraq war, the military location to the asia-pacific particularly the east china sea and south china sea has the military encirclement and its allies like japan and a country like the philippines. they think it is a u.s.-led deliberate effort. so this is also an opportunity for china to experience the rebalancing to the asia policy and hopefully also a bylaw rather than a new round of the arms race. >> host: we will talk about that on the next segment, questions on currency saying what is the effect of the currency that we are having in china cracks >> guest: when they believe it is the currency but of course they do not define that way in the past couple years. they were a significant over the past five, six years and continue doing that in the base. for the same time as a china exporter slowed down with a tremendous burden for the chinese government to continue to do that because as i mentioned there is a high percentage of students when the export slowdown so the chinese government have the social stability but for long run if their interest makes the currency conv

east. at the same time, the chinese want to assert themselves in their backyard with making some territorial claims among the islands and atolls and small pieces of land that exist in the south and east china seas. hopefully we will get a little more information later on today as to whether any agreements or progress have been reached on all of those issues. >> ok, rob reynolds, thank you very much. emergency workers in hungary and northern germany looking to shore up defenses as central european floods spread. at least 18 people have been killed. germany, austria, poland, the czech republic, and hungary have all been hit over the past week. in germany the focus is on rivers threaten to burst their banks. a state governments he declared in hungary as the crest of the floodwater moved down they didn't. -- moving down a danube. >> the rising waters of the danube river, lapping at the feet of parliament. the flood weather's have already broken records. emergency teams have put in place a metal barrier, affording low level residential areas a small level of protection. wall provides protection up to a water height of 8.4 meters. that is 80 centimeters more than than the highest level ever measured

rebalancing after the iraq war the military relocation to the asia pacific particularly of the east china sea and south china sea the united states supporter of its allies like japan or countries that they think it is a deliberate effort. so is an opportunity for obama to express the rebalancing and hopefully it is a dialogue with the new arms race. >> host: we will talk about in the next segment and what is the effect of the currency we have on china? >> those that believe if it is the currency manipulator but it is not defined that way in the past couple years. know over the five or six years they continue to do that over days or weeks but china's exports have slowed down for the chinese government to continue to do that it is a high percentage when you think of the export slowdown but the chinese government but for the long run in china's interest to make the currency convertible of a floating currency but it will take a few more years to complete the process. >> the co-chair of the manufacturing caucus talked about what china does with its currency and he gave his explanation i want you t

the united states and china. for china they also offer that can turn about the regional security and the south china sea and east china sea in these areas. also come the second level is the personal relationship weather can be viewed in initial respect and understanding and maybe the trust and friendship. the third level is strategy thinking. what the chinese call a new type or new kind, which mean they should be cooperative while conceptual. these are the three levels of just gets in their mind. >> aside from those specifics, how does the economies of the two countries factor the major discussions? >> guest: the most important concern for both leaders because both countries face economic challenges and china particularly slow down on both countries understand the importance of trade and also many other issue areas. both countries are the engine of economy and the should be the spotlight in the entire world. posts are used at china's economy is slowing down. why is that? >> guest: purdah because of the years of problem, partly because the painful structure change from the economy and heavily armed sheep labor is
