of time attacking the u. s. and lane lane that the u. s. s. feed for worsening ties between the 2 countries. he said that the u. s. view of china as a rival and as a threat is distorted, he says the suppression of chinese firms is unfair. and any interference when it comes to the time one issue is unreasonable. in fact, can gun called this a red line issue for aging. the self root island is allied with washington, but trying to consider that inseparable part of what it says is mother land. and she said that they will continue to pursue reunification. and then you had a why the larger warning for the united states saying that if it does not change direction in its approach to its diplomacy with trying to risk the catastrophic conflict. now it seems to me that it's quite clear it can go in his press conference and trying to set china apart from the us, wants to project it as an alternative will power, especially to developing countries. in fact, you want to trying to do projected as a champion of the developing world. and while he had many words for the united states, you only had friendly ones for russia to flight china, causing

of china, taking its rightful place. on the global stage. and from the u. s point of viewof course, china is seen as a key challenger, particularly to the american position in the asia pacific. so they're locked in this, uh competitive or even more dangerous kind of spiral, and it's going to be tricky to reverse it, and that's i think the spiral if you're feels so frightening to anybody, anybody watching and then in this so you've got what's going on in the south china sea. you've got these sort of military incursions and the possibility for something to go horribly wrong and cause more escalation. and then you've got the beijing offices of an american company, the minsk group. as i said, does background checks, but they get rated five people who work. there are detained chinese nationals and they're now whereabouts unknown. i mean, what is that about? well the rating of the minsk group. this is a group there. there any number of companies they do due diligence. so if you're if you're a big foreign firm, and you're going to do investment or go into a joint venture with chi

of a, you know, important strategically. but i think it's, it's more important strategically because the u. s. is concerned about china and china's role in africa. ah, the caesar view of the last suger peterson ethan intermediate. thank ne shanese that olivia, she recalled the one that she needs it. she so not so little didn't different is equality. same, think will afford metric. will natalie calls it giving going okay to kathy, the laugh. bennett r c on action. easy. nafrica collect. sheena coastal e ship. because ill tv, i mean to have a customer to explore this. the dolly bill was the same equipment. i don't pay that plus booth after that she naturally double port. i've already a fake county vacation. easy. i know you told me to do with that one to one level that he was only because they will. i spit on south gate. we will be the 2nd in the back of this and get a new by is it ah, ah no paula money for the tenant, which is even i deliberate him a bit. so not any will model that it was i don't want to see on at ledgent. there i go into other than that is that i don't know. so did you want a medical nick attorney, chris understood to read the warranty soon. you kn

he said that it was the us who did not want to veer away from viewing china with a cold war lens. he accused the u. s. of allowing domestic politics to drive its approach to china. and also said that it was using competition as an excuse to suppress chinese firms. so he said that as the 2 largest economies in the world that was simply too important for the global community, not to get this relationship right. and he had a warning. he said that no amount of god rails would be useful into venting this relationship from spiraling, potentially into a dangerous conflict. if the u. s. did not change its approach to china, also, she actually implied that the u. s. was partially responsible for fanning the flames in ukraine by, by providing military and other support to ukraine in that conflict. a china also signaling that it's not going to veer away from its constant support of russia during this war. it has still not condemned russia for this invasion, and it's likely would not ever going to see any sort of condemnation from aging on that matter. and katrina, taiwan, all sir. sticking point between the u. s. a

view of aging. he said that the u. s. is using competition with china as an excuse to suppress chinese firms. and he said, because these countries are so important to major upon me is 2 of the most powerful countries in the world. it's simply too important not to get this relationship. right. and unless at washington changes it's direction. when approaching, they doing that? no amount of god wells will prevent this con, this in situation potentially from spiraling out of control into dangerous pencil. okay, thank you for that. katrina, you that 1st live in beijing. now an independent investigator will look into the alleged chinese influence in canada as 20192021 elections. prime minister just intruder has announced, but the investigator would have a wide mandates. last month. canadian media reported that china preferred to see today's liberals reelected in the 2021 election and work to defeats conservative politicians, opposition policies have been demanding a full public inquiry. china has denied the allegations. now in turkey, a v o position alliance has name come out, kill it, the ruler as

washington reiterated view the china is a direct threat of c. u. s. national security particularly considering page in close ties with the head of the you and calls for the grant export deal between russia, ukraine to be prolonged as the most good and says that all sides must abide by the agreement with good afternoon and welcome to our see international role in life mostly has just gone mid day here, and it's great to have you with us. i'm right tomorrow i take a look at the top stories. this, our, the vertical opposition and the republic of georgia has said it won't and mass protests despite the parliament have inscribed it's controversial. foreign agents will, the legislation was cancelled on 2 nights a violent demonstrations in the national capital. there was pressure from western powers. all the corresponding don't cause a report from to be c, despite the george and parliament caving into the main demands of the the, the main demand rather of these protesters to draft that bill on the opposition has declared they are going to continue these prot

washington has long opposed russia, china relations, which it views as a threat to a u. s. dominated unipolar world. he is a reminder of some of its previous statements around the world. we face rogue regimes, terrorist groups, and rivals like china and russia, that challenge our interests, our economy, and our values. in confronting these horrible dangers. we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict and unmatched power is the surest means to our true and great defense. you can call them our friends if they're building weapons that can destroy united states of america. and therefore, we have to develop the capability to respond the u. s. which has lawrence at least $251.00 military intervention since 1991, according to its own government sources, stands accused of hypocrisy, both china and russia and this is right out and in the national security strategy are 2 countries that are chafing against this international rules based order that the united states and so many of our allies and partners have built up since in world war 2. it is almost as if iraq, afghanistan, libya, chile, nicaragua, and the countless ot

u. s. is to blame to the worsening bilateral tie is between begging and washington you said that washington had a distorted view of china as a rival and as a threat, that it was unfairly suppressing chinese firms. and also he mentioned taiwan and said that the u. s. was interfering and what china considers a domestic affair. he called taiwan and number one red line issue for china. and even though this is a self hold island allied with the united states, he said aging would continue to work toward reification by peaceful means. and of course behind the same street and thing has said possibly through the use of force as well. so it's clear from this entire press conference that ching down is trying to set china apart from the united states, trying to appeal to other countries, especially developing countries and say that china is a defender of global security and an alternative possible role model rather than the u. s. and wallet gin gong had quite fierce words for washington. he had only friendly ones for moscow. again, we heard that no condemnation of the war train. instead, jenkins said that the relationship between a

washington has long opposed russia. china relations, which it views as a threat to a u. s dominated unipolar world. here is a reminder of some of its previous statements around the world. we face rogue regimes, terrorist groups, and rivals like china and russia, that challenge our interests, our economy, and our values. in confronting these horrible dangers. we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict and unmatched power is the surest means to our true and great defense. you can call them our friends and their belden weapons that can destroy united states of america . and therefore, we have to develop the capability to respond. russia and china will also criticized for using their respective positions on the un security council. to defend severe sovereignty, we need to change the attitude of the russian and chinese government. they must understand, they are setting themselves against the aspirations, not only of the syrian people, but of the entire arab spring, the arab awakening. but it was washington that spent one but in dollars in operation timber sycamore, a covert c i, a program to arm and train sevien re

of, i would say the u. s. policy with regard to the current, the chinese middle position, i would say it's not kind of like like a pure neutrality. china does have its own view about right or wrong would contribute to this, but chinese position is impartial. it's try to see how much the country can be stops, de escalate it, and the civilian casualty be, you know, avoided as much as possible, which is good for both parties. of course, it's not just to stop fighting, but chinese are looking for a long lasting stable and it continues, you know, security framework in europe, which is good for europe, for the world too. but the doctor, you, i, you would agree with me that beyond this particular conflict between russian military forces and western aided ukrainian forces, there is a largest struggle going on. and it's a struggle with the future of the international system for the future design of the international system and whether it continues to be so unipolar with the united states, calling all the shots are regardless of the possible consequences, or whether it's going to be more balanced or perhaps even more democratic would you say that in that bigger strugg

china's role in bringing the 2 sides closer together. how significant is that new view? does it, does it supplant the u. s. role in managing to kind of be the kind of broken, these kind of regions? i don't think china replaces the united states. what i think is happening is that the united states is losing its role. it's declining as a global power. it's not completely diminished, but it is, it is definitely not the united states of 10203040 years ago. so as the united states declines, you see countries in the region thinking about reviving and restoring relations or building new networks. now that the american role is smaller than before. and we also see relations between countries in the region evolving with non western powers. and that includes china. do you see this having any impact on potentially reviving in iran, you do the tax for the revival of the nuclear deal or the j. c. p. o, a has been ready for months. at the end of the negotiations in vienna. the you gave a tax, the iranians made some slight changes and joseph or l. a. u foreign policy chief said that the iranian demand to reasonable at that stage, we were on the verg

u. s. is a head in some fields such as quantum computing and vaccines. china's leadership, in most of technological fields, is one of the main reasons why senior officials in washington view beijing as a threat. as china's economy has grown more than 10 fold, since gaining access to u. s. and world markets, we must deter the aggression by the ccp. we investigate and expose the ideological technological, economic, and military threat posed by the chinese communist party. we may call this a strategic competition, but it's not a polite tennis match. this is an existential struggle. earlier my colleague peter scott and r t contributor chris and discuss how the u. s. has made itself economically depended on china and is now applying double standards and intimidation tactics against beijing. what the us did is they said, look, we want all people to pay next to nothing for consumer good. so that's everything from your tv at home to your dishwasher. i mean, you just look on the back of any of the stuff you've got a high you'll see made in china. right? yeah, i'm pretty, maybe i'm pretty sure i'm somewhere else. even if a device, someone else. everyone loves an iphone, but they're

u. s., that is an opportunity to talk to them and get their views on one of the strength and weaknesses of how the u. s. does it and how chinadoes it. many people have been through both of those courses. >> thank you. jim, you get one question if you would like a second round i think we would have time commissioner goodwin? >> thank you mister chair. my appreciation to the witnesses for their time today. dr. saunders, you both referenced some of the military diplomatic activity that the pla engages in in the form of counter piracy operations that, obviously, is designed to help gain critical expertise in connecting lines of expertise and energy security. my question is, have you seen any trends or uptick in this sort of engagement or a? preach since russia's engagement of ukraine geared specifically protecting energy security? >> that is a great question. i think the answer is i haven't really seen now. the bigger impact has been covid. what used to happen is the pla would send two or three shifts to the goal of aiden for two or three months they would refuel from djibouti and on the way that they would make for a five poor

china u. s. diplomacy? thanks for the question. you know the chinese communist party in my view as a wolf, that sometimes dawns the disguise of a sheep smiling, attempting to charm folks and talking about when, when solutions and every now and then they let that disguise drop and we see their wolf warrior essence. and i think that's a little bit what we're getting here with this new foreign minister. so i, for my partner, i'm a little less focused on whatever disguise they happen to be wearing at the moment . a little bit more focus on the essence of the regime. they're what they're doing in, gen, jang, and what they are seeking to do against taiwan, who has more to lose when to super powers, engage like this. i think the world stands to lose. i don't think this is a conflict between the united states and china. i think there's the conflict between a chinese cummins party and the free world broadly defined. and i'm not afraid to use that term. i think they want to recap, recreate an international order and their authoritarian image that enables might, makes right authoritarianism in the south china sea and taiwan allows them to do wh

also we get people to give their view of what's going on. tick tock is the worlds fastest growing social media. but the u. s. and some western government said, allows china access to private data and does the security threat the company and the chinese government both deny this. so who should we believe this isn't my story? ah hello there and welcome to the program. i'm the stars the attain. now tick tock, the chinese owned video sharing up has one huge popularity globally with over a 1000000000 active uses. but it's also become another battle ground between the u . s. and china. washington says tick tock as effective, the a spying tool will discuss the arguments with our guests. and just a few moments. meanwhile, the, the company's chief executive appeared before a congressional committee to answer questions. members of congress spent 5 and a half hours grilling shows you chew, accusing tick tock of being controlled by china and a danger to teenagers. before the question began, he explained just how popular the app has become. 2 years ago, i became the ceo of tick tock. today, we are more than a 1000000000 monthly active uses around the world, including

now with a view from keith, thank you. china has criticize a plan by australia to buy all these 3 nuclear powered submarines from the u. s. and the u. k. beijing accused the 3 countries of going quote, further down a dangerous road. and disregarding the concerns of the international community, the u. s. u. k. and australia unveiled the plans on monday as they held the meeting of their new and controversial security alliance known as office oh, a hearty welcome for the 3 global leaders. they've come together, 2 unknowns, not just a major arms deal, but a historic strategic partnership. the oak is agreement. we confirm here in san diego, represent the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about history. australia will buy as many as 5 of these nuclear powered submarines and later build a new on themselves based on a british design with u. s. technology. it's a long time upgrade that will make australia a phil partner in fielding top secret us nuclear technology. previously only shared with the u. k. coordinators nor partnership. we're showing again how democracies can deliver our own security to prosperity and not just for us but for the entir

china and the u. s. and here's the reaction from russia's foreign ministry. spokesperson, decisions of the international criminal court have no significance wrong countries, including from a legal point of view. russia is no participant of rem statute of the international criminal court and has no obligations under this statute. russia does not cooperate with this body and possible warrant for us from the i. c. c will be null and void to us the disastrous war in iraq, which left a trail of destruction and a reporter to 1000000 people dead is coming up on its grim 20th anniversary. and we're bringing you a special coverage of the conflicts that through the oil, which contains a chaos and destabilize the entire region for years to come. ah or 20 years ago to the day george w bush made the decision to oust than iraqi leader saddam hussein by force saying he had given up power and yet to give him power and leave the country or face attacked by thousands of us and allied forces saddam hussein and his sons must leave a rack within 48 hours. their refusal to do so will result in military conflict commenced at a time of our choosing. should saddam hussein choose confrontation? the american people ca

u. s. other european countries viewing that relationship through what he said was a cold war lens. and he said that it was crucial for the balance of world power, multi polarity, that russia and china continue to work together. and indeed he said in the ones that that relationship has only gone from strength to strength. 5 palestinians, including a child, have been injured in an attack, pfizer early settlers in the occupied westbank storm, the town of her world chanting and singing along singing while celebrating a jewish holiday. israeli, such as have carried out at least 300 attacks in new york on west bank in recent weeks. meanwhile, is ready to strike as reported, have had serious aleppo airport and put it out of service syrian state media. se israel carried austin attack from the direction of the mediterranean sea, causing material damage. no death or injuries been reported. iran supreme leader iso loudy. how many says that the poisoning of schoolgirls is an unforgivable crime . official say 5000 female students have been poison since november roches defense when it says visiting areas in ukraine on the most goes control survey shows grew to the city of maria pole to see recon

u. s. other european countries viewing that relationship through what he said was a cold war lens. and he said that it was crucial for the balance of world power, multiple narrative that russia and china continue to work together. and indeed the judge and the ones that that relationship has only gone from strength to strength. so what that means really is that the slight receiving a huge amount of international criticism for support of moscow. beijing has no intention of changing its dog and has no intention of condemning russia invasion of ukraine. now when she spoke about taiwan, he pulls out a red little booklet, which is, which is china's constitution. and he said, i knew that i was going to get off about this. and he basically reiterated china taiwan is an inseparable part of the chinese motherland. and that bacon will continue to work towards people. reunification, although the use of force has not been ruled out and hit, he hit back at the united states and other countries criticizing china is approached to tie one to saying that this is not a domestic affair. china is resolute and it's done. so this is an internal chinese and that this is not an issue that the u. s. or other c

viewing with a lot of skepticism and some disdain, the visit of the chinese presidency asian team to moscow for 3 days of meetings with the russian president vladimir putin. the u. s. does not believe that china has the ability to act as an honest broker in trying to bring an end to the war between russia and ukraine. one, the u. s. argues that beijing does not have the moral authority given its own human rights record. and the recent indictment of vladimir putin for alleged war crimes, namely the removal of children from ukrainian territory to russian territory. the u . s. also believes that china is still just trying to decide whether to give heavy weaponry to the russians who have essentially blown through much of their stock during the year long war. and then there's this. the u. s. also believes that china is trying to supplant the united states as the global superpower. and it believes that it is doing so by forming an alliance with moscow, one that they don't think here at the state department is actually going to work out. the u. s. has been trying for more than a year to convince china that aligning itself with moscow is a bad idea. and it has held the a threat of sanctions over the

u. s. is top general as we just went through, there is asking congress to increase the military budget for next year. is he in your view, perhaps overstating relations with russia and china as a scare tactic of sorts. you know, his, his language i think was, was unfortunate. yes, he said war is neither inevitable nor m an ad. i don't think it is a good thing ever to talk in terms of inevitable war, even if you're saying it's not inevitable. there's sort of this list over the past that somehow there is a probability of war. we need to be very careful about our diplomatic language when we're talking about the possibility of engaging in world war 3 with major nuclear power involved. i think there's, there's a certain in temperance about the language being used bandied about in washington . and it's unfortunate, i, i think we've got to, we've got to lower the rhetoric and at the same time, hopefully we will begin to draw back from this war and ukraine, which is really been a disaster for everyone involved. what do you make of current u. s. policies towards russia and china. is it going in the right direction? is it not? it's not going in the right direction at all. first of all, let me just touc

of varying conflicting views on this bill. obviously, there is a great deal concern about china in the u. s. congress, but they are not agreeing on how to handle it, at least not yet. patty, thank you for that. patty calhane with the latest life arise from capitol hill. now, the palestinian health ministry says the israeli army has killed at least one person. israel says it's detained for palestinians that accused us of killing and israeli american. on monday, they were held off to israeli forces rated the up, but java refugee camp and the occupied west bank. on wednesday, when palestinian medic say they will, multiple injuries during the confrontation, violence has been escalating across the occupied territories. and recent days they, the abraham is following developments in the occupied westbank city of jericho. there was a checkpoint that was preventing a palestinian cars from exiting jericho as part of the blockade that has been imposed on jericho since monday. it is the attack that shooting that killed and is really american just a minutes ago. actually the soldiers have allowed palest

view that has been articulated by presidency and think the foreign minister that if the u. s. continues down this path, ah, it raises the risk of outright conflict. of course, this is not good for china, but it's also not good for the us as well as we all know. the u. s. is economically intertwined with china, as are many other countries around the world. so these, these stabilizing actions really are counterproductive in many, many aspects. the u. s. is, in a sense, has one tool to play, which is, or to use, which is it's military. what if we look at china's approach, of course it invest in is upgrading its military capabilities, but it is making significant gains on the diplomatic front. we need to look no further than the recent iran saudi arabia, rapprochement china's role in a ukraine peace plan initiatives in the pacific. that's one very, very important aspect. the economic aspect, of course, is very important as china is offering an increasingly growing and sophisticated market to countries all around the world, including the united states. in terms of information as well. i think china, we can see making advances in this area. perhaps the least developed so far, but certainly

of politics and international relations at east china normal university . he joins us from shanghai, welcome to the program. so. ringback towards extent are u. s. fears overtake talk justified in, in your view? well, you know, the fact the matter is there's no evidence that tick tock or previously other chinese tech companies like while way have ever post real security threats to the u . s. or any one else, rather, what we've seen is that the u. s. as advanced this anti china narrative step by step in global media. that china needs to be feared, encountered even falsely accusing china of genocide or deliberately unleashing covey 19 of a communist pot through the world. and this is induced fear. the chinese tech companies might, in the future be weaponized against the u. s. and others. but, you know, given this logic, what firm is safe with chinese company, or indeed any other company around the world to say. and in fact, what chinese industry can't be weaponized if we really want to get creative about it. if we really want to go down the historical path, consequently, this is the tip of a much bigger cold war iceberg. second, and this is part of america's broader efforts to foster tech deco

u. s. should treat like countries alike. and again, the credit to be critical of israel as much as they are china, that, that i've never heard before that that's something different. and i again, maybe the views of, you know, human rights institutions are changing. maybe they realize they've been too much in the, you know, sway of their donors and let's face it, they get all their donations from the western and it will act that certain objectivity and therefore credibility. and i hope any of something that i've been writing about this for a long time myself, being critical of really how these human rights groups have really been in the tank for the west. and i hope that's changed dining. it wasn't that long ago, a few weeks ago than if y'all was complaining that he still hasn't been invited to the by the white house. and then there was a word out of the white house and yet chill out, mate will. but we'll get together soon enough, and now we see bite and saying that is not the time to invite prime minister netanyahu to the white house done. us all, make us writing a joint letter abiding to look into israel's actions. is it possible and it sounds quite frankly unlikely, but is it possible? but

u. s. position towards taiwan. and what beijing perceives as aggressive containment policy, aggressive containment policies against china, us are from their view of threatening a new ukraine in the east. and this is in part, inspiring in china to so aggressively promote peace and co operation. we've seen this at the boil form. we've seen this by characterizing asia as a south, a safe haven. but also with she jumping, saying in and several international for last couple years that asia can lead way on global peace. while it does feel like there's also plenty at stake if a china's internal politically to you mentioned that offense, that beijing is trying to shore up support from places, potentially other than the west. i'm thinking here about the announcement from pearson last week about back in again as an alternative to the u. s. dollar. how much of a difference might not make? you know, i think this is, this is one development among many we just a couple days ago. saw the, the finance ministers considering dropping the us dollar euro and yet in financial transactions are moving to settlements and local currencies. indonesian president joker makot

even if there's no public evidence now of anything nefarious that if china wanted to do it, whether it's to interfere in the u. s election, whether to promote its views that we can take taiwan that the chinese maybe they're not doing it today, but they have the opportunity, the technical ability and then the power of coercion the communist regime to say sorry. and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. we're concerned about that and asking questions about whether or not even if the data was fully based in texas, whether the chinese government would be able to compel employees of bite dance to be able to provide that data . ultimately though, even if congress passes this legislation, it will fall at joe biden's feet. it will be up to the present to determine whether or not of course to sign the legislation. but if one of the versions that congress passes gives the authority to the president of the united states to be can tiktok if he chooses to do so. biden would then have to decide whether he wants to ban it. you talked about some of the political concerns here. the white house has brushed aside political concerns. but when you have two thirds of youn
