u. s. south korea and china are pumping money into their own industries to become more self reliant in march beijing wave taxes on imported semiconductor materials. but china's main ship maker is under us sanctions for alleged ties to its military. the u. s. senate recently approved $52000000000.00 for america semiconductor industry. as part of a tech innovation bill. as a percentage of g d p, we spend less than half as much as the chinese communist party on basic research. we rely on foreign nations to surprise crit supply critical technologies that we invented like semiconductors, that sunny american optimism, has flickered as well. the world is more competitive now than at any time since the end of the 2nd world war. if we do nothing, our days is the dominant super power may be ending. ah. all right, let's bring our guests in, sol, june park, a political economist, and an east asia voice is initiative fellow at george washington university in new york city. jim anderson, ceo of social flow, a

and that was in reaction to a very active engagement by the bush administration in the south caucuses. so the u . s. a sorta, sorta by choice withdrawn from the south caucasus not entirely, but it seated diplomatic territory to, to turkey, to russia as well as the u. s. may well have seated influence from the south caucuses, but actually it's still a pretty big player in turkey, still has the intellect airbase that the turks, however, did by russian air defense systems, which angered the u. s. is this is one got to has to do with another, is this normalization of relations with armenia, a gift to the u. s. and saying that we are doing some of the things you want us to do. just don't take away a defense system on turkey, the amount of perspective towards the goals are likely to work in the work and us and must provide the anytime at their approach with the normalization piece in the region. and we're more than that. and this is again, can just change the wider it's served the american way. but right as you know, right, that it's on the field as an active. but you know, they just froze again, working

u. s. conduct freedom of operation, freedom of navigation operations quite regularly in the south china sea, much to china's annoyance, and lincoln says the u. s. now wants to deepen or strengthen connections with existing treaty partners. i'm including japan and korea. now earlier this year we saw the u. s. reach a new cic trilateral security pipe with australia and the u. k, which will give us trailer access to nuclear pilots, submarines. now on the economic front, there isn't anything concrete as such, but lincoln did say that the u. s. now wants to identify new opportunities for u. s. companies to operate in the region as well as for more flow of direct foreign direct investment into saudis, asian countries. thorne, sorry, a little bit. thank you. in the news ahead, the u. s. medical son reaches a $40000000.00 settlement and a price gouging case, but its former owner still faces trial. until you are time magazine named avon musk, a person of the year and sport. a jain to football is given the supersize tribute in his hometown. far i will have that and the rest of the day ah hello hop

u. s. influence wayne's? yeah, i think by agreeing to this trade a deal, i think it's a mess. those outside the tent, namely the u. s. that east asia and south east asia are willing to move on trade with or without the support of the u. s. and i think it's very important for you to reflect upon itself and figure out what its policy is going for on economics and on trade. more generally speaking, jan, how is this our step deal different from the trans pacific partnership deal or t p. p. as it's knowing which involved the u. s. in which they tried to get off the ground, but then they pulled out of right. so i think that's a good starting point. the t p p is no longer what it was. it's now the c p t, v p, which is se significantly watered down version of what the u. s. had initially proposed now after it pulled out. and so, but still, even in this watered down form, it is a much more ambitious agreement than that. we have with us the, the membership of asset is so diverse. you have very rich countries like singapore, you have very poor countries like lauzon, cambodia, the populace nations. so you cannot, you have to cancel that diversity by all

u. s. in europe is getting a bit muddled with the information that we have from south africa, which suggests that patients infected with omicron a less likely to end up in hospital. and if they did, they actually recover more quickly from the illness. now why could that data be misleading? why could the only cron varian have a different effect on either on populations in europe or the u. s. so ah, south africa has a predominantly young population, and we do know that the sauce covey to wireless. it's seriousness of serious illness is the older you get, the greater the number of apologies you pick up as you grow older are the more severe disease causing it can be. therefore, in the united states, united kingdom and europe, we have a much more older population. and therefore, we shouldn't just compare the south african experience and assume that it will be the same experience here. time will tell and time will soon tell us if it is mild disease causing as was the case in south africa or that as the imperial up not yet . peer reviewed report seems to suggest that it may be just as severe diseas

so when you do something differently, the south korean n u. s. defense chiefs have met in soul to strengthen the decades along a military lines between both countries. the meaning aims to counter china's growing assertiveness in the region and north careers, nuclear threats. earlier this week, the u. s. announced it will permanently deploy an attack helicopters, squadron, and artillery units in south korea. and european union has launched a $340000000000.00 gain to rival china's vast and influential belton road initiative. the venture will see investment in digital technology transport an energy projects. it aims to give countries want your pain commission. president s love underlying calls, a true alternative for major investment and infrastructure development around the world. we want to take a different approach. we want to show that a democratic value driven approach can deliver on the most pressing challenges. we want to show that it can on one hand, meet not local needs, but also on the other hand, to tackle the global challenges we have.

u. s. has promised to maintain its number of troops in south korea. now women across the u. s. have had a constitutional right to abortion since 1973, but a case before the supreme court could lead to abortion is becoming illegal again in many parts of the country. how do you feel castro reports in washington or nearly 5 decades? women have been able to get abortions in the united states, thanks to a decision made within these marbled halls. now, a new panel, a supreme court justices, is revisiting that decision and could take it all back. it's heartbreaking to think that ro could get overturns, and ro has always been the floor and never the ceiling. but i want to live in a country where every single person can have access to health care that we mean saving the lives of so many rushes unworthy. children who are voiceless are un unable to defend themselves, and they're relying on us with the abortion case before the court comes from mississippi, where the conservative state legislature wants to ban nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. well, before viability lower courts have rul

u. s. and china have been heading south throughout 2021 just recently. they've taken a further dive over claims of human rights abuses in the chinese region of shin jang, united states recently passed tough new legislation that puts the onus on businesses to prove their supply chains of free of forced labor. it accuses china of persecuting shin jags muslim minority weak population there. internment camps, forced labor programs, and intense surveillance more than a 1000000 week, as i believed to have been detained. however, for firms trying to pull out of the region, things can get tricky. u. s chip maker intel issued an apology last week after edging it supplies to avoid sourcing goods from shin jang, the announcement to cause an up role in china. meanwhile, the upcoming winter olympics in beijing go putting pressure on businesses from another angle. western human rights groups have criticize the american firms that are sponsoring events. these include the likes of b and b, coca cola and general electric. so let's discuss the challenges facing china on t
