red china will be surpassing the u.s. as the number one economy in two thousand and sixteen in the purchasing power parity terms and two thousand and eighteen in nominal g.d.p. terms so we would think if they have not already overtaken the u.s. which is quite possible then two hundred sixteen to the nation that's probably the latest date so clearly from an investor's perspective you are you all should better look at china gaining some exposure in some way form or geopolitical perspective clearly it's gaining influence quite strongly and it's probably a good thing that this is happening you know a trend and russia can criticize a lot in the u.s. but then as we all know there are different perspectives on this and some countries often say that the western interests are stabilizing the world and not the other way around so generally yes china will be probably number one soon and we think it's a good say ok josh when you your priorities are you not disagreeing ok but you react to what martin just said. yeah martin i mean i thi

it makes the argument the u.s. is poised to become an export powerhouse, notes since the end of the recession exports have accounted for fully half of total u.s. economic growth. so the rather weak recovery that we've had would is been positively anemic without the strong growth on the export side. and he notes that the obama administration surprisingly appears to be on track to -- even starting from the depressed face of 2009, there were very few economists thought that was achievable. so barring a real down tun, that number gets hit in 2014. that's the positive story. on the negative side, would i point you to a recent survey by the u.s. competitiveness project at the harvard business school. michael porter, professor there, has long been the guf rue on these topics. they went out and did a survey of 10,000 harvard business school grads who are now in senior management positions in companies all across the country. i suspect mr. thompson may have received that questionnaire as well. the most intriguing part to me

the u.s. is such a big economy and so separate from the rest of the world that we have not been engaged in competition and tax competition. so i'd like to go back to the original ideas with the federal tax needs to be if it's going to be constitutional but that is the federal government figures out how much money it needs and bills a bill to the states and let the states raise the revenues and the states compete among themselves with the tax code. if you want to be a new yorker who redistrict like crazy thing you can raise your federal tax that would. if you want to do some other way and some of state you can do how you like. so i think imposing this -- keeping on how much we want to spend. >> the federal government -- [talking over each other] then the states can compete for the tax credit if we could do that they'll be much better to anyone here on the stage could come up with it because in the competition would produce the code. >> what do you think of that, governor? do you think should be

the liberal promoted in the u.s. and the international community because the countries of the region including central issuia, pakistan, japan have common interests in defeating nonstate actors, drug traffickers and terrorists and extremists and, et cetera that they are going to come around and cooperate. hence, or because they have interest in trade promotion, therefore they will come together. that is the kind of liberal approach that we'll have trade as the thing that will bring everybody together. but there is the realist view that actually says in the presence of anarchy which i would say the region definitely applies, we actually have a lot of countries playing their own interests, security dynamics within each other. pakistan has their own dynamics, central asia russia, have their own, et cetera, et cetera. so compounded with the lack of capacity, a lack of ovenity of the afghan government, everybody plays their own security problems. so the question is do we have a region? are they really viable together becau

when the u.s. sent major combat units into vietnam in april of 1965, the north vietnamese leaders also feared that they might get an intervention in north vietnam. again, they're looking at korea. the ghost of korea hangs over both sides here in thinking about what to do. and so in april 1965, the chinese give the order to send troops to north vietnam. and between 1965 and 1969, there are 320,000 chinese troops that serve in north vietnam. at one time there's as many as 170,000. this is critical in many ways. to the north, they want these chinese troops because the more chinese troops there are in north vietnam, that's two things. one, it acts as a trigger. if the americans come north, there will be a war with the chinese. and this is helpful to the north vietnamese. plus, if there are chinese troops in north vietnam, the north vietnamese can infiltrate more of their regular units into the south or cambodia or laos. when you think about american options next week, think about american options for de

the u.s. military believes that this is the easiest and most efficient way to kill militants certainly there are other ways sort of militants could have been in certain cases captured. you could also use more traditional means such as they are strikes or cruise missiles although i'm not sure that would make yemen or accent any happier. the other would be to revise the strategy in the campaign that make it less oriented around joint insurgents and militants. ok thank you but if i assisted a professor at the patterson school of diplomacy international commerce at the university of kentucky thank you thank you. but take a look at some other news now from around the world the south. bradley manning accused of leaking u.s. government secrets to wiki leaks has failed in his attempt to persuade the judge to throw out the most serious charge against him crime of aiding the enemy carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment he hasn't entered a plea to any of the charges or decided whether he tried ju

this is how it views the u.s. presence in the region but iran does have a number of issues with the afghan government as well. there are disputes over the hellemond river. the eiranian government accuses the afghan government of preventing water flows to iran and there have been some reports that according to the afghan police that iran is actively helping the taliban in order to prevent the building of a dam on the helmand mond. there's the issue of narcotics, one of the highest addiction rates in the world. there are literally millions of iranian heroin users, a lot of them are young. and iran has spent hundreds of millions of dollars and has lost thousands of lives trying to protect the iranian/afghan border so this is a major issue for iran. often the drug flow is cited as a reason for regional cooperation and not just regional cooperation but cooperation between iran, the united states, and international forces in afghanistan. but at the same time there have been reports of the revolutionary guards which is ve
