the way i look at this now is the united states needs markets for its technology.estore growth -- higher rates of growth to tear economy. in there is an opportunity for a more positive relationship and i think we should not expect giant wins out of any of this. what i think this is really about is having constructive dialogues. when i look at it, what excites me is there are several american executives who built excellent relationships in china. i point to tim cook at apple. and to my mind, what you just need is analogies that allow people to extend the opportunity going forward. and both sides need the other. we cannot continue that we can grow without china as a market and china cannot possibly grow without the u.s. as its largest trading partner. so i think we have the basis for a constructive relationship and it's really about the cultural differences, and can we bridge them. as i said, because of the politics in the u.s., because obama can't run again, he has more freedom and i think he has an excellent disposition relative to chinese culture, so like i said,

you look at announcements of hewlett-packard, united technology, car manufacturers, they have a large exposure to china, and when the chinese economy slows down, what really drove the growth, namely capital spending in china and consumption in china slows down, so in july, car sales in china were down 7%, year over year. charles: okay. >> and the chinese economy was an indirect impact on the u.s. economy. charles: okay. >> because it drove commodity prices higher until 2008. the resource producers of the world were wealthy and spent a lot of money importing goods. as you know commodity prices have collapsed because of the chinese slowdown, so the countries, including brazil, african countries, asia, middle east have money. it is good for the u.s. >> we had the flash crash, the flash rebound that you predicted and down to the central theme which is actually working. you've been right and you're spot on. we're coming down, brazil is a recession, canada is a recession and america holding on by a thread. marc, love having you on. appreciate when you give us the quick buying opportunities.

there is a lot more work that needs to be dumb between the united states and china from a technologytandpoint. it is more visible and it is more about the jobs. it is about yesterday's technology and the older, industrial way of doing things. the future is about economy and we need to have much more priority. emily: we have the importance of united states tech companies to china, like apple. it is ironic that facebook is blocked in china and google is off of mainland china. what does the president have to do when the chinese government says they do not hack? privately, u.s. officials are saying, absolutely you do. >> they say one thing and do another thing. i think that we have to confront this issue. i think we still think of war as old school, industrial war. emily: we are in the middle of a cyberwar right now. >> it has an impact on everyday basis and the chinese president denying anything is happening, i do not have to believe it and neither does the president. emily: om malik, you are sticking with me throughout the show. all of you apple enthusiasts are probably counting down t
