their aim, the unification and modernization of china. e industry was old-fashioned and inefficient. transportation was slow and inadequate. but now railroads began to link the great seaports and river harbors to the inland cities. a network of highways began to stretch beyond the railroad lines into the deep interiors. after leaving them untouched for centuries, china was beginning to use her vast source of raw materials. soon the tools and machines of the new factories were delivering the goods and products for china's new economy. for the chinese believed in using the best of western civilization, for the progress of their country. while they were building this new nation, just a day and a half by steamer across the yellow sea lay japan. here the god emperor and his fanatic warlords were using the same western civilization for one purpose, and only one. to create one of the world's most powerful war machines. aim, the absorption of china. and the fulfillment of the tan aka memorial. ♪ for years japan had deliberately copied military wea

they're not looking forward to seeing the unification on their border. the japanese aren't enthusiastic, and suspect that we americans look at the divided peninsula as an excuse for forward-base of operations and part of our ensirlement strategy, they and the chinese believe we have vis-a-vis the chinese. this tends to be a not very much discussed issue. i think because it's not front and center in practical terms in terms of policy and a lot of people see and think. >> i want to go back to a question professor kim asked and it's related and we didn't answer it before. that is, can you resolve this issue without the unification of the korean peninsula and i think you can never resolve the issues that the korean war was fought over and the basic political differences between north korea and south korea and the different is in fundamental perspectives about which mate-- -- i think you can have a discussion without reunification. that's what we have to aim for. what can happen now? i think that unification is something many' pessimistic that we would see in

if the south korean state was created to crush popular movements calling for unification of korea and then it's no surprise really that that's exactly what the what they're still up to because the intelligence service of south korea in twenty twelve the big big problem was that they were their word the opposition. had too much of an open policy towards north korea wanted to revive the sunshine policy so-called of the early two thousand of negotiations in reducing hostility towards north korea and so on and of course that's the worst outcome for the u.s. because the unification of career would ultimately end the rays on that for us bases on the korean peninsula which means u.s. bases right on the doorstep of both russia and china so no it's not a surprise but with those there's a big element which is missing from this story which i think this this would not have taken place south korean intelligence would not have done this without coordinating with this with the u.s. . secret documents show that the american agricultural chemical giant monsanto tried to influence media and science rep

imagine what interests of the west are if there is a so-called reunification of korea hostile the unification if there is a war and let's say north korea is going to collapse then the rest of the regime is going to or west of the empire is going to expand right to the border with both russia and especially with china so this took on the sort of big snow on the hitlist sort of being intimidated by the worst both china and russia the two allies . the north korea would actually be. the new. hostile power because it would become one of its kind of understood that if there is a unification of korea it would be like germany it would basically. it's of the principle stand and we saw alliances and we saw that happen with nato expansion here when let me go back to you in in washington i mean this is really the crux of it all is that you know the united states is making demands for its client state south korea but you know the united states could make a major move a good. gesture i would even say of taking out its troops what are those troops over there for i mean south korea is a very affluent country

[inaudible question] >> the topic of unification was brought up, and having work in the unification ministrybefore joining the wilson center, this is interesting and i appreciate all of the things you mentioned and especially the frank comments right now, but when it comes to dealing with north korea, handling north korea as the topic goes, i think north korea is only interested in meeting and setting down with washington and it boils down to how washington and what washington is willing to offer, and doctor, as you are one of the very few persons persons whe met with north koreans recently and face to face, what are your observations what north korea would be willing to negotiate? they have been saying they're not interested in negotiating and never begin up -- give up nuclear weapons about we should look beyond that. that's the language they always use, and were we to engage in associations, which i personally think that we are reaching that point because of the heightened tensions that is a tell tale of time for negotiations. so, you think that from your observation, do you think that nor

congressman why are you not sure that's the case both south korea and north korea would like the- the unification of the korean peninsula. >> well i'm not sure that's the case. we know that the kim jong un family for three -- three generations has set one goal and that is to remain in power. they have also been more of what 60 some years now actually more than that since the korean war armistice. they have facts on the ground there are two country there is. if in fact north korea and james clapper talked to this issue earlier i believe today about maybe there is a negotiating strategy that could and in fact tillerson said at least partially that we have no interest in regime change. well take that a step further and say, okay, the reality on the ground is there is two countries. maybe we do move towards a peace treaty that recognizes facts on the ground. and in exchange for the facts on the ground then we look at denuclearization and move away from those intercontinental ballistic missiles. there is a kwid pro quo that may be possible and we surely ought to pursue it along with tough sanctions al

reporter: first and foremost, the telling, the rhetoric, as he tries to continue with the unificationoing to be more combative and talking about the nationalistic style advocated by steve bannon. the second thing we will look for is policy, particularly immigration. we are talking about how they will have tax policy, the debt limit, all these other wonky things. we have not heard much about some kind of immigration plan. he's already advocating for them to be additional ice officers or immigration control. sparked controversy from several activist groups, including democrats. how specific he gets in terms of immigration policy, we have to wait and see. we should also note that the u.s. mexico border of bolstering wall" -- we-- "the have not heard that in a while -- that could come up again. emily: what about when it comes to taxes? reports are coming -- saying there are some tax reports that could be imminent. reporter: majority leader mitch mcconnell and steve mnuchin were in louisville, kentucky earlier this week talking about tax policy. they have been working with top administrati

the korean states have very different ideas of unification. is that in 2000 and 2007, the south korean government reiterated a pledge to form a confederation with north korea. the current president of south korea came to power promising to attain a confederation of the very near future, perhaps in his term. keeps interesting when you in mind west germany always rejected confederation proposals because it meant recognizing the other as legitimate and because the other state regarded them as a trap. the great leader in north korea's history made very clear in 1973 that if south korea signs off on confederation, it would be "done with." the situation is comparable to a hollywood star promising to marry her stock in the near stalker to marry her in the near future, but still wants a bodyguard to hang around just in case. the u.s. is the bodyguard in this situation. dangerous situation to be in. rishaad: what about domestic ?olitics how does the north korean society and the way it is framed and organized lend itself and project itself onto the inter

yichl right now north korea is very, very powerful strategic ally in the sense that it prevents the unificationf north and south korea which can create a juggernaut parallel to germany, germany's reunification that occurred after the fall of the berlin wall. china is watching this very carefully. they want to show support in some sense for north korea but at the same time, at some point it is likely to cut the tej because t tether because the importance of the story in china is what prevents another chinese revolution in china and the chinese government recognizes that >> jeff, quite a run precious metals gold and silver have been on since early july how much should we read into that and souch safehow much saf investors lookingfor >> it's interesting. there is some flight to quality in the precious metals we've seen base metals rally as well the common denominator is weaker and weaker dollar. frankly, the extended weakness in the dollar is a bit of a surprise as bullish as traders were on the dollar in the beginning of this year based on speculative futures and options contracts, they are now t

socialists are consistently anti-national and in favor of class struggle rather the national unification. when socialists -- rather fascists had gained power, they jettisoned and discarded any trappings of socialism or egalitarianism. they are fundamentally different. it is really an attempt by the thet-wing to mar historical record. you can make the record right-wing libertarianism is from from fascism, by fascism is by no means a left-wing mode of thought. host: cynthia from new york, new york, a democrat. caller: hi. i became a democrat to support bernie sanders. i hung around after because you have two be a democrat to vote in the primaries. that the only game in town in new york. aside from that, we are talking about antifa. when i was in new york in the 1980's we had big skinhead movements. to burn a flag in washington square park on july4, the year there having the controversy in taxes over the communist burning the flag. this is a free speech support kind of demonstration. force.is showed up in they march in formation around the park. beat me to the ground by the media took pictu

the worldwide unification mirrors the nervous system and cellular animals end up in a little bit later you say that it's a interstellar traveler whose nervous system consists of units that communicate with each other by radio, orders of magnitude faster than our nerve impulses. but in what sense is it to be seen as a single individual rather than a society? >> i should interject this cloud as you are talking about is from science fiction, not science fiction but fred was a great astronomer and he wrote a love of science fiction much of it not very good but his first book is extremely good called the black cloud that the obnoxious hero you can't help but wonder may be modeled. [laughter] it keeps turning up under a different name and character. the black cloud is a mega super human that appears to be on the energy of the sun and eventually they get in touch with this and managed to communicate with it and learn about it. different parts communicate with each other by radio and the scientists raise a very interesting question in what sense are you the cloud a single individual and the cl

they want to avoid a reunification which would create an economic juggernaut, the same way the unification of germany created in europe. they have no significant interest in actually following through on these sanctions, unfortunately, what can we do? we can continue to put pressure on china. we can work with our allies in the region to build military options if we have to go that route. we can increase missile defense to defend ourselves and our allies, we can continue to press the united nations, we can impress cyber and special forces. it's not a good attractive package of options. >> i hate to go back into politics on this, the president -- we're expecting a statement from him in the 3:00 hour, the opiod crisis, he has a panel out there in new jersey. we are hearing from him right now, hearing from him on twitter, which is the way he likes to communicate with the american public. we're not hearing about this news, he tweeted about poll numbers, the new york times and amazon. don't believe the fake news suppression polls. here's the thing, we're talking about north korea right now, havi

establish there's an ideological line of extremism and i mentioned earlier on from an aspect of -- the unification of worship. they divided that into four categories. they made a fourth category of politicized it. we hear individuals with that is sent talking about governments know, the governments for them it was a near enemy. al qaeda then changed it for the far enemy, the west if we hear these types of beliefs when we come out we can come out in the name of moose loan, then you know that is ideological extremism. and aspects of the behavior and analogist to that. the behavior by itself? institutions need to be very careful when they see an increase. and they take that as indications in symbolism of extremism. this is very dangerous. this tends to be happening in the u.k. prisons, i'm not sure if it's happening in u.s. prisons but we need to differentiate between those two. thank you. [applause] >> time for q&a. >> i specialize in manuscript reading. >> often penal system/jails are described as networking opportunities for people of like-minded ideology to make corrections. how true is this? and

the unification of korea is what would be next in line and there are a lot of folks in south korea that would like to see that happen. it would be very difficult and expensive but better than trying to replace one bad regime with another. there are some options but again, china is the key. the commitment of americans to be tough and make sure we can defend any missile strike on ourselves as well as our allies would again make the marketability of these north korean missiles, the sale price would be much lower. >> jon: h.r. mcmaster, the president's national security advisor has said that a nuclear arms north korea would be intolerable to this president. it appears that they have all the goods. we know they have the icbms, they have miniaturize the warheads to make it possible. having said it is intolerable, what does the president do, what does a national security advisor say now? >> the last three presidents have said it was intolerable, both political parties have set it but yet we are here at the brink now, frankly, i think it is too late to just be -- the political speak we have, we

the possible unification of korea should be one of the subjects that will be discussed not only withna but also with south korea and japan. charlie: can you sit down with the cheney's as a diplomat and asked them, tell me what your -- can you sit down with the chinese as a diplomat and ask them, tell me what your fears are and i will tell you what my fears are? dr. kissinger: i think the better way would be to send some to the emissaries chinese and say, here is our notion of the evolution of the region things continue as they are. some military clash by somebody is inevitable on the present course sooner or later. danger is remove the to come to an understanding. the kind of pressure that will be applied and the political structure that we will recommend after world to support it. then to put that forward in some manner. charlie: what do you think the chinese would accept? what kind of proposal? dr. kissinger: this is speculation on my part. would live chinese , that itunited korea remains part of the american alliance but with limitations in north korea of high-performance weapons

and china doesn't want the unification to happen. the last thing china wants is a unified korea as an american ally on its border in northeast china. so there's a lot of differences. and i think what we have to do with this is, we've got to strengthen the deterrent in the south. we've got to have dialogue, supported by north korea's neighbors in the north we've got to keep the pressure on and we've got to look for ways to cool the rhetoric and see stability. there's no easy solution to this >> general clark, the rhetoric is one thing but the real issue that changed at least from our knowledge of this, in the last 24 hours, is the idea that there is military intelligence that suggests they can miniaturize the nuclear bomb meaning they could arm a missile. that changes the scenario drastically. where does that leave us what does that mean? and how do we get the time line wrong for so long? >> well, it means that first we need to strengthen our strategic missile defense. that is in place it could be stronger there's legislation in congre

would they be grateful and open the borders and seek unification? it's the uncertainty that can be very worrisome. trish: thank you so much, thank you for your analysis. trish: the representative from the people of guam issued this statement on president trump's rhetoric on north korea. she is saying president trump needs to tone down the rhetoric and recognize words have consequences. his statement will not make our nation any safer and will only further elevate evenings between the united states and north korea. nor mitch mcconnell blamed the president for the republicans' inability to get anything done. i this excessive to expect they are going to do what they said they were going to do? that's next. i'll see you here in 2. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs... you're like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls... and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement™, we'll pay

and the unification of family. a balance would be a good thing. has to be at the expense of each other. it is a nation of immigrants. you have good people. you want more good people. you want to help out the families to get together. say not understand why you this will never change. my assertion, if anybody asks me, we should expand the visas. impact could this have on the tech sector overall? a lot of these people at blackberry are younger, highly educated and speak english. perhaps they could benefit from this type of legislation. >> yeah. willech center -- sector benefit. it is based on technology exports. the most of -- but the tech companies are global. especially where you want to have a fair market president. like in indonesia, the minister said the most important thing is the president. i was getting advice from him. all that is good. i'm not sure this is a tech exclusive thing. this is a more more philosophical thing. inif we can get back to just the limited time we have, back to your business talking about the auto market. i don't think

i remember i was on the delegation that did the unification of germany. and when george w. bush would say george h bush to helmut kohl, he would say "within a nified europe." because germany was not supposed to act on its own. germany tethered was a problem. if somebody wants to say something really nasty they will say, "it is not brussels, it's berlin." to haveny likes american partnership and what they do to play the quite good role they can play in europe. in japan, even more so the case that there is still a lot of from world war ii. again, because united states has been a partner for japan, japan has been able to play a role. so the united aces not get to retire from this role, either. is going tor japan step up, it is always better in partnership with the united states just to keep the balance right in the region. host: susan, do have a comment on this? completely with what condi just said. ] aughter >> we tended to look toward 70's, 80's, 90 as our primary partner. , especially for susan and tom, germany has become our lead partner. one thing i think has been a probl

i was on the delegation that did the unification of germany. when president bush would say, george h.w. bush, a unified germany, a unified europe. germany was not supposed to act on its own. germany untethered from others was sent to be a problem. even within the eu, if someone wants to say something really nasty they will say it is not brussels, it is berlin. the germans have always been reticent of being too far out in front and they like having american partnership in what the role theyy can play in europe. in japan, even more so the case. there is still a lot of o unhealed wounds from world war ii. because the united states has been a partner they have been able to play a role. germany is going to step up or japan is going to step up it is always better in partnership with the united states just to keep the balance is right in the region. comment? do you have a >> i agree completely with what connie said. [laughter] >> the five of us have worked together in administrations. we tended to look toward britain partnerrimary strategic in the 197

then if it was moderate collapse, then once that north korea is unified with south korea, when the unificationhappened in germany, germany, the west germany had lots of economic power, and then east germany within eastern bloc had lots of economic power. however, when they got unified, that caused economic pressures. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: so north korea, we will have a massive refugee problem if north korea would fall. and thinking about those refugees, they might make the way to china or russia. they may take the ship to japan. so we would need to be prepared to accept or handle those refugees. and, of course, the united states would take initiative or spearhead some of the activities, and japanese self-defense force is not going, would not going to be the major, primary role, but we will have definitely a logistical support to the united states. >> yes, ma'am, in the back. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: i like to ask the question. this is unusual because i usually cannot ask a question in japanese. thank you for mentioning oconomowoc, dr. greenhalgh -- okinaw

divided korea, one of which has nuclear weapons and starts pressing for its objectives, and the possible unification of korea should be one of the subjects that will be discussed. and not only with china, but also with south korea and japan. >> rose: can you sit down with the chinese -- i'm asking -- as a diplomat and say, okay, tell me what you want, what your fears are, and let's figure out how to meet both of those objectives, and i'll tell you what i want, what i need, what my fears are. >> i think the better way would be to send some private emissaries to chinese, and say here is our notion of the evolution of the region, if things continue as they are, that some military clash by somebody is inevitable on the present course, sooner or later. and the way we can remove this danger, and above all remove the danger of nuclear weapons, is to come to two understandings. one, the kind of pressure that be applied. secondly, the political structure that we will recommend to the world to support afterwards. and then to put that forward in some manner in a formal channel. >> rose: what do you think the c

korea said it doesn't want north korea to collapse but it is also not interested in unification on unfair terms. theion ministry says it's still looking for dialogue despite prove owe indications. the comments came in response to senator lindsey graham that said president trump war with north korea is an option. >>> well, this is a story locally that made national headlines. cal rugby player was paralyzed in the national championship game and he's working really hard to recover. >> paylor was playing against arkansas state in santa clara when he suffered a spinal injury in a play that's being investigated. paylor was transferred to craig hospital in colorado for treatment. >> i want to get on my feet. i want to do all thee things and if i give up, i know that's not going to happen. so i have to push through that and i have to do everything i possibly can to recover. >>> paylor is starting to show improvement in his muscles while relearning basic daily tasks. he says the support of family and friends and well wishers would certainly include us are helping him pull through. >> you can see his spirit w
