said, but when i look at the 1990s and the early part of the 2000s, the european union is not the lighthouse toward which turkey and other countries of the region were aspiring to move. that is weakening the traditional leverage that the european union has enjoyed. the fact that the european union is beginning to have problems, at least with some of its membership with respect to the very principles that we're talking about, the rule of law and liberal values. you know, i need not mention specific countries here. it's coming back into turkish domestic politics where politicians including erdogan are kind of abusing it or exploiting these realities. and lastly, there are inconsistencies. there are inconsistencies in u.s. foreign policy and some of the promises made to turkey in syria, but also on the part of the european union a failure to recognize -- and amanda in her paper does a great job in discussing how there needs to be greater attention to the kinds of threats and difficulties that turkey is failing, which the european union is -- so the chemistry out there is not one, but i'd like t

at the same time there are discussions that are going on with the chinese, with ambassador lighthouser and secretary mnuchin, but we need to understand that we can go back to 2003 when we began to talk about these issues and talk has not been cheap. it's been very, very expensive to the american people. >> how do you expect the chinese to take the terror threat seriously if you're publicly saying it's a negotiating tactic and we're not serious about it per se. we want to talk, but you haven't also really made it clear. what specific action do you want from the chinese to prevent these tariffs to be implemented. >> i don't believe if you play back what i said just a minute ago that i said it was a negotiating tactic. it's not. we're listening to the chinese. we're willing to work with them. this government, through bush, obama and now the courage and vision of donald trump we're willing to listen to the chinese, but we're clear-eyed about this. we're moving forward on a measured way with tariffs and with investment restrictions. what we want from china and what we want from china is ver

this weekend we have the president's key economic team going to china to meet with their counter part, stephen mnuchin is going with larry kudlow and mr. lighthouser. what can they accomplish? from they're starting a process. it's important to keep the expectations under realistic control. there is a lot of stuff that needs to be adjusted between the two countries. china has very high tariffs. basically makes it difficult for foreigners, including the united states, to export into china. they have restricted ability to invest in a lot of industries in china. they have difficult regulation standards and customs. they have some difficulties for us with protecting intellectual property. and so all of these are big issues and they're unbalanced. and they tend to be in favor strongly of china. and the u.s. government just wants to level the playing field so that companies can compete fairly. what's normal for a developing county is to have a number of these issues in place to allow them to grow. china has reached the point where they're much more mature, they're about 14% of the world's economy and they're growing double the rate of the u.s. at least.
