u. s. di. so that will be a major market share. last for the u. s. r. now and for china, this will be very good thing as beijing said, it's 2060 carbon neutral gall. and china has also had a car coal shortage last year. so it's essential that it shows up fuel alternatives like national, and this is expected to be competitive with the current liquefied natural gas that china is currently importing. so important where l n g are expected to drop off to 9 percent in 2022 from 17 percent previously. and this will affect australia and the us who are currently the main export as a china l n. j today. yeah, and i know that this is certainly one of those agreements that is a big deal for both russia and china now been at the same time. we know that when it comes to those tensions ukraine as a point of conversation for world leaders who insist that they can crack down on russia by sanctioning the north stream to pipeline. so how does this deal impact those strategies? well, i think it has a huge impact on it. you know, obviously this deal between russia and china has nothing to do

u. s. france, japan, and the u. k. that china has called on the u. s. to show more flexibility if it wants to break through with north korea or from out diplomatic editor james base. she needed, and judy of she almost killed all this propaganda video has been ad in recent days on north korean t b kim john on is showing off his question skills riding at speed on a white horse, but it is the speed of progress his country's making with its nuclear weapons and miss all programs, it's warring diplomats. there were 9 miss, i'll launches in january a record in a month. and the most recent launch was an advanced intermediate range ballistic missile. ambassadors came to a closed door meeting the 3rd this year. before it even started though, the chinese ambassador made it clear he felt there was a vicious circle and the u. s. needed to do more invoking the summits that president trump had held with the korean leader in 20182019. they should come up with more attractive and more practical, more flexible approaches, policies and actions. we have all seen where have

u. s. and china says 2019. russia has been so falling gas to china via a pipeline from siberia. it's a multi $1000000000.00 project, signed and launched shortly after rushes annexation of crimea. massive infrastructure projects will also connect the 2 countries more closely via trade rates. through joint military maneuvers, russia and china have also been demonstrating their unified stance towards the west and the western defense alliance nato. they also have an alliance on the united nations security council. both countries can prevent resolutions through a veto, which they used during this syrian conflict. in return, bosher, al assad, a friend of putin is joining china's new silk road project. but are russia and china equal partners with ross? not of course destroys onto dd of equal partners. the turn. no, i it is a flawed alliance in the making. yeah. it's like, you know, push me, pull me love, hate thing. it sometimes it goes well, sometimes it goes badly, is going better now. and they had they, but they bring different strengths if you like to the table. i think mean china,

u. s, and i'm chinese, when i'm in china and quote, she also made no reference to china's human rights record though she has been vocal about social justice issues in the u. s. such as the black lives matter movement, quote. i know that i have a good heart and i know that my reasons for making the decisions i do are based on a greater common interest. if people don't believe me, and if people don't like me, then that's their loss. they're never going to win the olympics. well, chinese, he praise on eileen grew another olympian with a similar background has experienced a radically different games. california born figure skater. jew, you gave up us citizenship to compete for china. but she was savaged on social media after falling several times during her event. abuse was so bad, the chinese social network way, boy suspended dozens of accounts and deleted hundreds of posts. some of them telling julie to quote, go back to america. she's also been picked on for her, shaky mander in all this, underscoring that china, sports industrial complex mostly cares about winners and we have human rights wat

right now, china's diversifying its ag purchases away from the u. s. so all in all its power move and the u. s. is not involved and with china supporting argentina's claim to the falklands. it is now throwing a wrench into the world map as we know it today. beijing has previously condemned britain's colonial mindset and called for all forms of colonialism to en, adding that to day in the 21st century. the days when western colonialists had free reign are long gone. so by supporting argentina, it's drawing a parallel to its claims over taiwan as well. yeah, certainly as a power move in as early as making a statement to a country like the united states. now then when it comes to the belt and earn initiative, as christy noted there, what have china and argentina agreed to exactly and what is the significance of all of this? well, i think is pretty significant. well, couple things. there's about $23000000000.00 worth of agreements here. so it's not a small amount. 8000000000 of that will go to building a nuclear power plant. what's interesting about that is china had started this agreemen
