u. s. and australia started off the trend highlighting chinese alleged mistreatment of the weaker muslim minority. but the australian olympics chief has distance himself from the campaign thing. it's got nothing to do with the athletes. the diplomatic boycott is a metaphor government. just saying to the united states government now got over governments around the world, considering a different medic boycott. that is, that is where the ambassadors or, and ministers of the country don't attend the game that's entirely up to the government and not a metal for us. as we are politically neutral and it's about the athletes. and the same for the i say we spoke with benjamin chow, an asian affairs expert. he sees the olympic diplomatic boy as if utah gesture, pardon, and decision is running out of options. the trying to get a hold of any single opportunity to embarrass china. since 2008, the relationship between the us and china has worse, and the us seeing china as a competitor. now that you're seeing that china is able to rise to power peacefully and in many areas compete had to had with the states. so

u. s. and china are followed by japan, india, russia, and australia. australia is important here as it has maintained its ranking, despite trade disputes with china, which the authors of the report say, have improved its resilience in 2021. let's go ahead and dig into what all this means. the professor richard wolf is the host of economic update. and author of the thickness is the system. when capitalism failed to save us from pandemic or itself, a professor wolf, always a pleasure. i wanna start with the top of the list here. why has the united states been able to increase its influence and even power in asia, even as it has the strained relationship with china over the last several years? well, i think the question is wonderful, but i'm afraid i hope the not not to hurt anyone's feelings and australian independent think funded by an australian billionaire who made his money in shopping malls is probably a case of wishful thinking. most trail you this year made a commitment, wanted cancel, that famous submarine deal with france to throw in its lot with great britain than the united states

u. s. and even australia here has the gain. i mean, why are they continuing with this mission when they're already thing the result of it? well, i think they're a little bit trapped in a very old ideology. you know, i understand it on one level, both australia and the united states have been very successful for most of the last century in growing their economies. the problem is the chinese have been even more successful growing their economy faster from a lower base. then both austria and the united states. so each of these 2 sides is convinced that they have the way to go forward. but i'm afraid if you look at it objectively, the chinese have a way of mixing, private and public to really focus on particular problems. and they solve them better than either the united states or australia, at least in the last few decades. and whether you like it or not, is a separate matter. if you are a class calculating planner, you don't want to disconnect from the economy that has been by far, the most rapidly growing the most successful in
