in 2022, the us exported a $154000000000.00 worth of goods to china. and chinese imports were even higher at $537000000000.00. that's a trade deficit of $383000000000.00. but us continues to restrict ship exports to china to protect a sensitive technology in areas like a i, aerospace and defense. and the american companies in the sector is may so no longer be able to invest in china without restrictions. last year. a lot of us money still flowed into china. us direct investments and china increased by $12000000000.00 in 2022. but china invested less chinese direct investments in the us fell by 1300000000 dollars last year. despite for us to relations, the us on china, economically intertwined. all eyes are on that meeting between she and biden in california on wednesday. but for the business community, there's another event worth watching. a dinner with changing ping and selected american business leaders. earlier i spoke to our correspondent in taipei and asked him what message us business leaders likely want to hear from sheet. a seating thing was to

so one of the things we can't do it will be remembered for is forging us china ties during the cold war era. and will that so us and the build bridges between washington and aging. it also scrolled a key u. s. foreign policy went and by helping drive a wedge between former communist allies, the soviet union and china. what's we'll take on kissing just roll the little like like is role in any other part of the world. there's gonna be people who admire what he did and they're going to be critics. for example, i'm speaking to you from taiwan, where many people feel that the opening to the people's republic of china and his moves to establish a relationship between washington and beijing works at the detriment of, of uh, you know, what some people at the time called free china here on taiwan. so he's there obviously in a lot of places around the world is where i guess he will remain controversial. but he's certainly going to be remembered in china for his own, his work in opening up us china relations. and just from looking at the internet and social media and trying to today, what i observ

a handshake between global heavy—weights as the presidents of the us and china seek to repair frosty lations. we'll look at the points of cooperation and continued tension between the two countries. welcome to this bbc special report exploring the changing relationship between us and china. what it means for security, trade, and other key global issues. at this week's high stakes meeting between presidentsjoe biden and xijinping, the two leaders sought to ease tensions after years of increased acrimony. washington and beijing agreed to resume high—level military communications channels, meaning the return of meetings and conversations between commanders. china had suspended some channels in protest to then—speaker nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan last year. the us and china agreed to slow the production of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid responsible for tens of thousands of drug overdose deaths in the us. and they agreed to dialogue on artificial intelligence, people—to—people exchanges, and to boost flights between the nations. but the leaders are still at odds over taiwan, with xi callin

a sigh of relief and i think that�*s very true for those asian countries who are looking at the us chinaor many of these countries is the most important security partner and for the same countries, china is the most important economic markets of this idea of having to choose a site, that�*s a nightmare, something that no asian country wants to do and many of them really feel caught in the middle. so the fact the two sides are sitting down, not just at the presidential level, the fai will likely see an expansion in engagements heading into next year, that�*s all positive, something which will bring a lot of certainty and relief to a lot of asian business leaders but at the same time i still think a lot of people are holding their breath, there are a lot of tensions around taiwan, the south china sea in the last couple weeks, so there is a bit of cautious optimism with into this but at the same time, the optimism is still there. fix, this but at the same time, the optimism is still there.- optimism is still there. a lot of criticism _ optimism is still there. a lot of criticism that _ optim

used to make sentinel, as all the u. s reels from an open york crisis, but a lot of what's expected to have been discussed today in the meeting has to do with china's rule on the world stage. so for example, the biden wants to use a bite and once she to use a, here's a relationship with iran to make sure that iran doesn't to escalate to the conflict in the middle east. any further find and also one. so she to crack down on chinese companies are selling equipment to mosque out for use and it's for and you frame. so really, what we're seeing here is the us is recognition of china's deal political influence, but also it's aspirations in terms of how it wants it, that influence views. but of course, a lot of this will come down to how tiny, you know, things their influence would be use and how it positions itself. visa view those issues. exactly. so let's look at that other site and i or she jen paying sees china as an alternative to a u. s. sled world order. so what does he want from the u. s. the well on top of she's agenda and talking to by then will be reassurances regarding type one. so she will want to biden's reassurance of that, that us does no

policy, not the beijing one china principle but the us one china policy remains in place and thathat. but to sing that the president knows the chinese know it's likely that the us has obligations under its own law but much less its own strategic interest in the region to provide support to taiwan to make sure it's not i think beijing is simply encountering resistance to its own behaviour, such as the president has been talking about support for taiwan in

here's what president biden told leaders about the us—china relationship on thursday. ons will always be candid and constructive. states does not seek conflict. we announced military to military communication to reduce the risk of accidental miscalculation. joining us now from san francisco is sumi somaskanda. sumi, you've been there covering this apec summit all week. what's the latest there? on the very last full day of the summit, you might hear the rain coming down, people wrapping up their meetings, some meetings on friday as well, but we saw a lot of bilateral meetings today, and a focus on the indo—pacific. president biden earlier speaking to apec leaders and working with the indo—pacific leaders. we saw them on the stage announcing part of the indo—pacific economic framework. they announced small agreements on things like supply chains and working together on climate change. it's important to know that coming into the summit, the biden administration had hoped to announce a larger framework involving trade agreements, which was derailed by democrats in the us wh

china hopes to build. these furry creatures , used for china's main political and diplomatic purposes, are in places it hopes but china says its goals are conservation and research of the species. beijing's so -called pan diplomacy with washington began in 1972 after president nixon's historic visit to china, mao zedong, the founder of communist china, gave two pandas to the united states as a sign of strengthening bilateral ties after two decades of frozen diplomatic ties. first lady pet nixon welcomed pandas to washington. americans' love has only grown with the advent of panda cameras. the first time baobao saw snow, views, people were captivated by bao-bau's famous but shaky love of heights, but only before xiautse was born, which means a small miracle, today he and his parents went home with bamboo snacks on the plane, their faces keepers speak for themselves, analysts point to a deterioration in us-china relations due to the decline in panda numbers. the international embarrassment may not continue as the geopolitical climate heats up. earlier this year , a video went viral on chinese social media clai

tell us about the current state of us china relations. well, it's one indication that the us china relationship isn't in the best possible place and not having this military to military communication opens the door for that relationship to get even worse. now if we were to back up a bit and understand how it, what, how it is about the chinese and american militaries stop talking. that happened when former house speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan last year in a move i got aggravating. now, fast forward to a few months later and we have this bible living incident when the west shot down a spike, a chinese bible, even gathering intelligence over north america. now famously one depends on cold of aging. to talk about this incident. no one picked up the phone so you can kind of understand how that kind of radio silence raises the sticks up, paved the way towards more suspicion. and that suspicion could lead to more miscalculation and then into escalation. and this is something that both leaders are incentivized to avoid. find their presence.

uh, the outcomes that i saw, this is why the uh us china relations, especially the us trying to acknowledge relations at the moment are really being um, improved uh through various offices show and on the official efforts in china. just in particular to make sure that this upcoming by then she meeting in san francisco and next week we're actually the conduct. it's in a very user friendly environment. oh, you know, all of our backdrop on. so in that sense, uh, even though they realized that fundamentally the us, china relations are going to be very difficult to really uh, uh, be approved, uh, still at the moment they want to, uh, create a more friendly atmosphere. uh, at least off to you and included in next week after that meeting in san francisco. then uh, the story may be somewhat different. so 10 share of finance of the university of hong kong that and you can watch an extended version of that interview. if you go over to the dw news youtube channel, that's data we. com. sorry you tube dot com slash do the news. now, some of the other light isn't stories that are making the news. interna

one begins at the time was when the us tried to call china, when us military tried to call its counterpartin the clip it's important not only to learn to manage the relationship, stabilise that, we also need to ensure there is military to military communication, that if there was a crisis, someone to pick up was a crisis, someone to pick up the phone and someone on the other and in china answers. it is important to say that they are talking about putting guardrails or a floor on the relationship, there are serious points attention that remain will make the difficult. we know taiwan is one of the biggest points of contention the us continues to taiwan militarily, something china is not happy and china's the actions of a south china sea. china claims much of the waterway to its south and we saw a clash with the philippines recently by the us again warned china to take any action against the because that would mean the us would act in deterrence. these are some points of contention we are seeing, we don't expect any big breakthroughs but again stabilising the relationship as the us has said,

use for the white house. i'm father and coming back to you. china has long painted the us as its main adversary, but at the start of this meeting, she took. so much of a softer tone, stressing the importance of china's relationship with us. kindness be seen as somewhat of a peace offering or an olive branch if you will. that's what maybe to some degree. but um, if you look into the details, i think it's small ambivalent, um, uh, for example here, the public messaging towards the chinese people. it was rather we have to respect each other, but it should not provoke each other and also not cross the red lines. so i think the emphasis is a little bit different, but yet some of the, you know, statements by seating ping, according to the chinese readout. what quite modest. he said that china has no plan to surpass the u. s. and also, um that, you know, the speaking of to accommodate both countries and that we don't want to, you know, endanger the position of the u. s. i mean, those, those statements are rafa you know, um, yeah, i would say i'm reaching out and diplomatically, but um, but let me also emphasize it. but

since then , there have been a series of visits by american ministers to china trying to find ways that the us and china can not only reduce political tensions, but also cooperate on certain issues, for example, in the fight against climate change. so i expect there will be some discussion about climate change and how to mitigate the effects of the us-china trade war, because we all remember that president trump imposed tariffs on chinese imports into the us, starting a trade war, which biden continued and xi jinping didn't like all of that, so i think xi jinping will want to hear from biden what he plans to do with to do to reduce trade tensions , therefore, president biden will naturally look for ways to persuade china to reduce its support for russia's war in ukraine, and will likely emphasize that the red line for the united states is to provide china with russian weapons. china is not doing this, china is a way to counter the influence of the united states in the world and strengthen china's influence, but it is definitely not interested in the war in ukraine intensifying, or in ukraine l

hopes of the common people who will not be here with you from on the way you want to see why my china us relations have plummeted, some spite and dying in the chinese capital. due to a host of issues from china is threats against high one to growing strains and trade. president biden kept in place and you have the power from the trump era, and introduce new ones, like a us export bad for micro chips to china. what the leadership, 6 out of this meeting will be to appear to be in control of the us china relationship for she himself the the optics of this needed in will be important and the ability to project an image of the strength of being and controls the bilateral relationship of steering a into commer waters will be politically useful for she, experts believe both sides see an interest in easing tensions, and that there's likely to be greater attempts to review more regular dialogue. and here's a reminder of the top business story we're following for you at this hour. as the international energy agency has raised its oil demand growth forecasts for this year and next slide, unexpected

so this is why the uh, us china relations especially the us trying to acknowledge relations at the moment . but i really been, um, uh, improved uh through various office show in office your efforts uh, in trying to adjust in particular to make sure that this i'll come in uh by then she needs in the san francisco next week. uh, were actually be uh, conducted in a very user friendly environment. oh, you know, all of our backdrop on so in that sense, uh, even though they realized that fundamentally the us, china relations are going to be very difficult to, to really uh, uh, be approved. uh, still at the moment i still want to uh, create a more friendly atmosphere uh, at least off to you and even for the next week after that meeting in san francisco than uh, the. busy oh, you may be somewhat different. so 10 share of finance out of the university of hong kong that and you can watch an extended version of that interview. if you go over to dw news, youtube channel that's data we. com. sorry you tube dot com slash dw news now to some of the other type of business stories that are making the news

so this visit created. in my opinion, no additional attention is needed in us-china relations. since then, there have been a series of visits by us ministers to china, trying to find ways that the us and china can not only reduce political tensions, but also cooperate on certain issues, such as climate change, and how to mitigate the effects the trade war between the us and china, as we all remember that president trump imposed tariffs on chinese imports to the us, starting a trade war that biden continued, and xi jinping didn't like it all. so i think xi jinping will want to hear from biden what he plans to do to reduce trade tensions, ways to sway china, reduce his support for russia's war in ukraine, and probably emphasize that the red line for the united states is on... china's arms to russia . china does not do this, china clearly does not want to, for russia to escalate. china sees the war in ukraine as a way to counter the influence of the united states in the world and to strengthen china's influence, but it is certainly not interested in the war in ukraine intensifying

china. and there's always been sort of backing us as an agent against what, what china described as imperialism. and also in china is on t us stuffs which has been very common for many years in recent years. that's change. so the attitude is right, it's become much more positive because of technological issues. primarily is right, has been able to help. china is admissions in terms of building up, it's, it's technological prowess, and these are thoughts, so it's become much more pro. but in the last, while we've seen, we've seen a different adapted change in stance. how do you think then these positions feed into a public sentiment among chinese people in particular the anti semitism that, that you've been talking about? what i think one of the big factors that we've, we've seen recently has been a growing nationalism in china. and the nationalism tends to manifest itself as being on to us and is rarely seen very much as a very close ally of, of the us. so i think a lot of it is feeding out of bash. in some ways, it's kind of been almost weaponized to a certain extent. and we've also seen ro, c

us. what is china? is the official position on israel and the palestinian is and then this is why the conflict that you mention. well i think historically china has been very pro palestinian, the people's republic of china. so the communist china has been very pro um pro palestine german mouths that don't help support the palestinian liberation organization during the seventy's. this, in the eighty's, a group of his ready soldiers found all these documents, you know, gorilla instructor instruction books from china. and there's always been sort of backing us as an agent against what, what china described as imperialism. and also in china is on t us stuffs which has been very common for many years in recent years. that's changed. so the attitude is right. it's become much more positive because of technological issues. primarily is where it has been able to help. china is admissions in terms of building up, it's, it's technological prowess, and these are thoughts, so it's become much more pro. but in the l
