a pivot point. if your peer remains one of the u. s. is key. african allies was always called the anchor of stability for the u. s. u. s. interests in the hold of africa. so since the conflict began, biden ministration has taken a very soft, softly approach in some way. the bye didn't ministration seize africa in many ways through the prism of china. and the biggest fear that provide administration might have is that china, which already has huge investments in ethiopia, will consolidate batteries if you will be lost in inverted commas to china. and trying to came up a number of times at this house foreign affairs committee meeting. so it was late may, really to the by did ministration began getting tough with your peer with sanctions on visas. all these, you know, drew with the withholding of these is very few yet and they're a try and officials. but it was the key that, but there's that sense that they haven't really been doing pushing hard because they do not want to alienate if you they were happy to think of this as a domestic matter, much as you know. so some other nations often looked at, looked at these issues

a u. s. aircraft carrier has just sailed into the south trying to see the u. s. s. ronald reagan and it's being accompanied by a guided missile destroyer and a guided missile cruiser. and it's going to send a very powerful message to china that it cannot just do what it wants in these waters, and that the u. s. will continue to maintain a strong presence in the region, and this is likely to very much aggravate beijing, which considers the south trying to see it sort of backyard, katrina, you in beijing, thanks very much for the update. will thing in the region. hong kong government says it's highly concerned about reports, the possible league from a nearby nuclear power plant in the chinese city attention, which is about 135 kilometers west of hong cole. chief executive kerry lamb says she's in touch with authorities in glendora province after the plants operators said they're fixing what they call a performance issue. the power stations, other operator, the french energy drive e d. f says it's because examining a potential build up of gas emissions at one of the

a china angle in the u. s. and you are very concerned about china is growing business in air and aircraft. they want to unseat the u, the u. s. u. so there's a lot of focus right now on how the u and the u. s. conform a bigger block against china, they also likely are to discuss today new efforts to come together to combat china digital prominence. so they like we will discuss things like pulling investments into new technologies into artificial intelligence, into quantum computing and semiconductors. but all of this is really part of these efforts to, to come together to combat the rise of china. right. chelsea, delaney in frankfort. interesting day to day. certainly, thank you so much. another issue on today's agenda is of course the global blotto steel and alan minium, which puts china back into the spotlight. the u. s. and you say that's china unfairly subsidize the steel produces and then dumped the excess steel on world markets at rock. bottom price is distorting the market and that is what triggered the u. s. trying to trade dispute back in 2018, but the then trump administration went even further imposing 10 percent

u. s. link on. so in 2020 the u . s. was knocked off the top spot, but that was seemed to be a one off. and now the u. s. seemed to be reclaiming his rightful space in that area. i will say in china, in general, i mean it's called huge economy. but unlike the u. s. government owned enterprise of cycle stated enterprise play a much, much bigger role than they do in the u. s. and the certain sectors, entire sectors where the state and enterprise is sort of the dominant game. so if you look at things like ation or utilities or transportation or banking, you can't really get in as, as a phone company. and that's going to hamper the chinese for some time to come. and i guess the sumption always been that they will sort of have a more limited role for the state in the future. but that does not seem to be happening. so they still count for about one course of the countries output, and they seem to be holding study that says not greater liberalization taking place here in china. so you're saying, because despite tensions with the west, china is still is one of the largest investors around the world. and it's 2

s a here to spy on the u. l . i don't the u. s. do you make any distinction between that kind of spying and cyber hacking? well, listen, that kind of spine which we referred to as espionage, right? is actually far more dangerous. so there is a case of the solar wind case in which us agencies fly. agency said that russian state actors had gotten into us software and were able to spy on us. okay, that's not ransomware, that's fine. that is much more destructive. the u. s. does this all over the world . we know they've done it in the e. we know that they've the n s a tap the phones of world leaders, right? it's much or serious then some hacker getting into the ferry that takes you back and forth to martha's vineyard and saying i want them bitcoin to turn it back on. these are, those are much more serious instances, but there is a distinction between ransomware and cyber warfare. the u. s. again is heavily as a government in cyber warfare, not in ransomware, then encoding, spreading all the lots head runs at breakfast time tuesday. tha

a propaganda war. the u. s. is executing their propaganda war on a global scale. and so the u. s. intel community will create these accusations the other bit here saying that this has to do with the trafficking of nuclear or chemical biological and radiological weapons. and technology is that these are accusations. meanwhile, they're trying to hammer out the j. zachary, yes, exactly. the say iran's nuclear program talks by that's on the way the tit for tat was employed. how's that going to affect it? this is definitely a move by if there are, if you believe that there are more than 2 factions within washington, ones that want to try to re implement the j. c p o, a. if you believe this and other factions clearly and they're well known who they are, they want to basically submerge disagreement and never see, never let us see the light of day again. then there could be a battle going on there. certainly anything, any move against iran, which we saw, you know, the either the assassination of a nuclear scientist or anything like that coming right before any serious negotiations or any m

u. s. a lot of these companies sell securities on the u. s. bond market, a lot of them are privately owned, but those that do have access to the u. s. market will find that investors can no longer put money into them. a toll at the us has been concerned about the development, particularly of surveillance technology. the see that it's been used for facial recognition and also that has been used then to impede human rights and also the persecution of minorities. and it's been used according to the us in hong kong, but particularly against that we can move the minority in china itself. so this is joe biden, essentially stepping up and saying, look, we've had enough of this, or we want to make sure that the chinese understand that we think there is a threat here. and therefore, we are cutting off access to a lot of us investment for some senators, though, like republican marco rubio. he believes that doesn't go far enough, that wall street is still investing in companies that are owned by the chinese communist party. and the joe biden should actu

u. s. depends on the u. s. on germany a lot and especially german chancellor angle america. and we know that she will be stepping down in september and with her leaving the european union, washington are going to lose a window to the kremlin. and she's even been called the put in whisper. how can that that loss if you will be, or the gap be fil, once she's gone? well that's, that's the huge question. we have to answering the german national elections there . the problem to right now, mr. lash at the grid, democratic candidate for championship. in the past, he was a little bit unclear sometimes about his rational position with the free democrats . we think that he will be much clearer, but therefore we invest in the future coalition because we are the party of transatlantic partnership. we invest very much as we democrats, traditionally in partnership with the united states. so if we will be in accordance with him, with mr. lashley, we will make sure that her trans atlantic cars will be really on the prom page of our relation and, but we also expect, of course, president biden

u. s. depends on the u. s. on germany a lots and especially german chancellor angle america. and we know that she will be stepping down in september and with her leaving the european union, washington are going to lose a window to the kremlin. and she's even been called the put in whisper. how can that, that last if you will be, or the gap be filled once she's gone? well that's, that's the huge question. we have to answering the german national elections at the front runner right now. and the last, it's a big written democratic candidate transfer ship. in the past, he was a little bit unclear sometimes about his rational position with the free democrats . we think that he will be much clearer, but therefore we invest in the future coalition because we are the party of transatlantic partnership. we invest very much as we democrats, traditionally in partnership with the united states. so if we will be in accordance with him, with mr. lasha, we will make sure better transatlantic cars will be really on the prom page of our relation and, but we also expect, of course, present bide

u. s. they have all condemned this twitter band. i mean the, the u. s. s that has no place in a democracy. don't you need foreign investments to help build your economy we need for an investment. we also need for those countries to be mindful of the fact that i prob and such groups have been engaging lobby firms like mike you, republic affairs, for instance, that it's paying $85000.00 a day to churn out, such negative stuff to, to go into full court press on us senators and, and prominent people, prominent politicians so that they would create this negative narrative about nigeria and which is far from the truth. and those were on ground. know that. and the forest of the british high commissioner in the year is aware of that, because now she's on the receiving end. she's being threatened by the same i pulled by number economy the lead of april. and mister ambassador, i'd like to ask you because i mean, what is clear is that the economic situation in the country is not good. unemployment has more than quadrupled since to hurry took office. more than half of young people can't fin

a danger that the u. s. might conclude that it's preparations for an attack on an early morning. s a malware sprint. the u. s. also has to work out and planted. that's a process called attribution time. and it is not easy. adding pressure to this fear and di did various countries that could have incentives to the side, the f, b, or path to cyber attacks by searching malware against us. so the warning system korea would haven't, instead of doing china would have an incentive doing. russia would have an incentive for doing it, maybe others took a me all that on certainty with the latvian crisis on going, russia becomes the opiates suspect i think there is potential in the crisis to assume that russia implanted the malware even if you don't know to search and who did it. so you know, chinese implementation, korean implementation, again in a fascinating crisis in which you don't have time to do the attribution properly, maybe misinterpreted as russia as a, as a washer. so in the heat of this crisis on the intense pressure, the west has some enormous decisions to make its most sensitive nuclear weapons. infrastr

a lot of divisiveness. so when, when president biden comes back and says over and over again, the u. s. is back, the u. s. is there, the u. s. will defend its nato allies. it does mean something. it's not just atmosphere. if it does create more of a sense of security among these allies who are bound to go to war for each other if necessary. and, and the truth is that during the trump administration, he didn't make a lot of changes on the ground even though he threatened to. so most u. s. reassurance, measures physically are still in place and everybody is, is very much welcoming. these are the words from president biden that tell them if needed, we will use our defense mechanism to protect you our allies. thank you for that territory. show that nature headquarters in brussels. every year dw brings together media professionals and decision makers from a range of fields to discuss the most important socio political issues about time. german chancellor, i'm going to michael started this g as global media form with a special message. there was also an address from armand lasha party colleague who hopes to succ
