us, especially for president trump, and his plan to increasejobs. he is saying that he is considering putting tariffs on steel imports from china. d, what impact could that have on these talks? well, as i said, we don't think beijing would be too much concerned, if we are talking about exports to the us markets. it only accou nts exports to the us markets. it only accounts for a very small proportion. so if the washington administration slaps an import ta riffs administration slaps an import tariffs on chinese steel, the impact on the chinese steel industry would be rather limited. the impact on american consumers, buyers, that would be another question. what we certainly don't think is that the chinese will give in too much over this point. and certainly, on the back of buoyant economic performance so back of buoyant economic performance so far this yearfrom back of buoyant economic performance so far this year from china, i back of buoyant economic performance so far this yearfrom china, i think they will be feeling fairly confident on the negotiating table. thank you very much for your time. to the highly competitive airline i

china. apple gets 50 billion us dollars from china so china is very important to it. even more important. interesting to see how these relationships develop. thank you, robin. a quick look at how markets are faring. this is the dowjones on friday. in general we have teams which we will discuss in detail in a moment, if we look at the european markets, we have commodities in general edging up, mining stocks are doing well and so up, mining stocks are doing well and so our energy up, mining stocks are doing well and so our energy stocks and that will boost the ftse 100. a lot of so our energy stocks and that will boost the ftse100. a lot of those are listed in london. also among the winners hsbc. rolls—royce is the biggest loser on the ftse 100 winners hsbc. rolls—royce is the biggest loser on the ftse100 today, coming up with their results tomorrow. let's keep an eye on them. we'll talk about their results tomorrow. heineken saw their sales rising in the first half by almost 6% soa rising in the first half by almost 6% so a lot of earnings coming through, we'll try to

it all boils down to this — the us buys more from china than it sells.eficit or imbalance in goods was $347 billion and it seems to be rising. at their first meeting in april presidents trump and xi set—up trade talks which have already produced some results. both have agreed to expand trade with china saying it would accept us but many issues are still unresolved. china's factories churned out a record 73—million tonnes of steel last month, a record high. us producers have accused china of flooding the market, undercutting american firms. and it's prompted trump to consider slapping tariffs on steel imports, part of the administration's emphasis to increase products made in the usa. miranda carr is a senior analyst at haitong securities. thank you for coming in. what do you expect to come out of today's meeting? well, in terms of moves, not a lot. these dialogues have been set—up and they are a way of easing tensions. you get tensions building up tensions. you get tensions building up and up and up and then the dialogues smooth things over, but in terms

from china or through these policies. even with those imports from china it is not true. they have been in used with those reports from china. there are problems we can attribute to china. but these are just symptoms of deeper problems it is fundamentally a different type of the economy there was an exhortation to be more market to oriented but has not have been automatically superior at critical juncture about what to do about the fact it is not a market economy. so those would have been there during that election. so does side mentioned others have used countervailing duties. the trouble administration means is that use with that political rhetoric because they typically fly into the radar is in something that generates a lot of attention. the conversation and has changed that the most recently but against canada and mexico and the political escalation the secretary of commerce that is rather unprecedented to raise foreign leaders having to get involved. but second to moving more of those trade remedies using those around the world not just the united states but what i have in mind here but b

china, us trade? is it working? well, it is questionable. president trump's 100—day deadline for boosting trade with china has come and gone, and officials froms will meet in washington today to assess what has actually been achieved. mr trump hopes the talks will tackle what he says is an unfair deal. it all boils down to this — the us buys more from china than it sells. last year the deficit, or imbalance in goods, was $347 billion, and it seems to be rising. at their first meeting, in april, presidents trump and xi set up trade talks, which have already produced some results. both have agreed to expand trade, with china saying it would accept us beef imports, and will increase access for financial services, while in return the us will allow imports of cooked chicken. but many issues are still unresolved. china's factories churned out a record 73 million tons of steel last month, a record high. us producers have accused china of flooding the market, undercutting american firms. and it has prompted trump to consider slapping tariffs on steel imports, part of the administration's emphasis to increase products made in the usa. also on the prog

the us and chinese trade chiefs are meeting in washington as we speak, as trump's 100 day deadline for boosting trade with china comes and goes. 0ne one factor is dominant. the us buys more froms find out why that matters, michelle fleury is live from new york as usual. i guess i am not surprised to hear that imbalance, because the chinese can make things ata because the chinese can make things at a lower cost than the americans? and given the relative strength of the american economy, the size or importance of consumers to economic growth in america. if you look at the trump administration they have talked about america first, at the heart of that in many ways is a focus on trade, restoring manufacturing in america, having things made in america. according to the white as it is made in america week, they have held a variety of events to highlight the fact. against this backdrop you have the leaders of the two largest economies in the world meeting to discuss a range of issues, of course trade will be one of them. we are seeing an administration willing to focus on trade deficit, some economists disagree as to whether that is right to focus on or not. 6iven how important the

us demand fairer trade links with china. washington wants to reduce its massive trade deficit in goods from beijing. deficit reached nearly $350 billion last year. the us also wants a better access to china's growing consumer markets. but the trump administration could introduce ta riffs administration could introduce tariffs or quotas on chinese steel and aluminium products. washington has frequently accused beijing of flooding the market and driving prices down. earlier i asked our business correspondent is this tough talk is a good strategy. donald trump campaigned on this promise to shrink america's trade deficit which he says are helped diminish american manufacturing. if you look at the trade gap in america, the widest gap it has with any country is china so unsurprisingly it has been a focus of tough talk. the president chose a billionaire investor to steer this meeting, and his language echoed that of his boss. china now accounts for nearly 50% of the us goods trade deficit. if this were just the natural product of free—market forces, we could understand it. but it is not. and so it is time

thousands of websites are currently blocked in china including facebook, twitter, and some google sites including youtube. is normally based in tokyo but joins us fromew york today. what do we know? >> china has been playing this game of cat and mouse with virtual private networks for years. for a while, people used a certain vpn and it works to get access to facebook, twitter, and other websites normally locked. the chinese government cracked down. we are seeing a more comprehensive approach where the government is going to the three major companies and asking them to block all vpn services accessing the outside world for individuals. that is a pretty big step for them to try to tighten up on the censorship around their internet and try to block people from getting outside of china and access these websites that they want to be blocked. china,having lived in you use a vpn for a while and it stops working so you use another. in practice, how is this different from the status quo? >> conventional wisdom has been china is not going to be able to keep this up, that eventually china will have to open its internet. other people will be able to get access

goal of keeping us from being leading power in the world, for us is only way we have free trade regime and commercial regime we want. gerri: bree, it occurries to me, if you allow china sales you drive allies and enemies closer to that country, is this the case at end of the day, we legitimize china? >> i don't know about legi legitimizing china, but i believe this under scores a fact there is no legal solution to terrorism, bad guys will get their hands on powerful weapons no matter. what i think that extremism thrives when we -- >> country that are using these drones from china, egypt inland regional centeiraq, jordan, kazakhstan. all over the world, tell me, rebecca, what should happen here? what could be the result? >> nations buying drones for surveillance, they can keep watch over their borders and other territory. just because these china drones look a little bit like ours, does not mean they have sensors and other electronics that are the caliber of what we fly. but there is no question that our friends that are helping us, coalition partners should have access to the best surveillance drone technology that we can sell them, we can regulate this just fine thr

from a year ago, while imports expanded 17.2%, both beating a nalysts' expanded 17.2%, both beating analysts‘ expectations. you mentioned the us. those are one or two interesting factors. the deficit with america continues to widen. chinafrom $22 billion in may, china‘s highest level then since october 2015, and the other significant number is china‘s first half trade with north korea. it gained 10.5% year—on—year. donald trump denounced the increases, which cast doubt on whether beijing was helping to counter the threat from north korea. analysts for export growth are slow, due to rising geopolitical risks and a stronger yuan and us dollar exchange rate. thank you. let‘s take a look at the markets before we finish up. a mixed picture, it‘s fair to say, on the asian markets. they had surged initially, taking their cue from wall street overnight, but they have calmed a little as the trading day w0 re calmed a little as the trading day wore on, the hang seng responding positively to that chinese trade data that we heard about from rico: we will have more on that a little later. thanks for watching. across the country, many teenagers are on work experience placements at the moment. few will have had perhaps as much fun as

(darya) that stuff he pays for. but he does a lot of other stuff like for our troops. he made a surprise visit to a veteran's home in new jersey. this is the reason you should always knock before opening a bathroom door. a total surprise. this veteran has special needs so the group busy him a home and they are showing it to him when steph shows up. whoopi was hosting the special that they did, it was just broadcasted. they gave the guy a warriors mancave, and then out came curry. (darya) if

we have folks from mexico with us, vietnam, china, japan.ith the emphasis be that we want businesses and governments to deal directly with governors to grow our economies, sometimes i know as it relates to trade, conflicting messages coming out of washington today. i just got back last week from a seven nation european tour. there were issues about the border attacks and so forth. but i tried to convey is come directly to the states. we will do business with you. i ask you today what advice would you give all of us governors? you've are already our number one trading partner as you are for many of the states but as you envision the next five and ten years what advice would you tell us to increase how we do more business with canada? >> first of all, to reflect on what a lot of people take for granted on how easy the relationship is, i remember a story of an america and that was on both sides of the border as well. i remember an american ambassador explained to me one of the first things he did was cross country to try to drum up more busines

north korea is keen to separate the us from south korea, to get those us troops and weapons away from its border. chinauch share that, china and russia said the us has no place on the north korean peninsular, what chance of the escalating all this? there's very little chance of the escalating because everything is falling into place how the north koreans want it, you have a confident china in the ascendance and i'm not convinced china wants to see north korea dominate the peninsula. you've got an american president clearly out of his depth. the more the north korean arsenal develops, the more friction you're going to see between south korea and the united states. we've already seen the south koreans do not want to install a missile defence system here because they're afraid of the negative economic repercussions from china and the current administration in seoul desperately wants to revert to some form of the sunshine policy of appeasing north korea. those people in the moon administration in seoul are former student radicals from the 19805 are former student radicals from the 1980s who really want to

so north korea is keen to separate the us from south korea. if china the korean peninsula, what chance of the korean peninsula, what chance of the escalating all of this?” the korean peninsula, what chance of the escalating all of this? i think there's very little chance of the escalating, because everything is falling into place how the north koreans wanted. we've got a confident china and i'm not at all convinced that china doesn't want to see north korea dominate the peninsular. we've got an american president who is clearly out of his depth. the more north korea's arsenal develops the more friction we will have between south korea and the us. we've already seen the south koreans do not want to install a missile defence system here because they are afraid of the negative economic repercussions from china and the current administration in seoul desperately wants to revert to some way of appeasing north korea. the current administration, these are former student radicals who really wa nt are former student radicals who really want to get the aid flowi

interpretation was compliance with existing us sanctions, chinese always opposed any kind of your adderall sanction and china has banned, of course imports from north korea after reaching the cap under the un security resolution that was passed in the end of last year. the chinese also told the us that was tightening up in terms of border inspection but i think there's been a failure on the chinese side to identify what it was that was satisfied the united states and not meet our expectations because that wasn't in the cards anyway and it really goes to the issue of banks operating with north china that are facilitating north korean access to the international finance system and enabling north korea to engage in these illicit activities. there has been efforts by the trump administration to provide evidence on banks and front companies that are enabling north korea and the reaction as i understand it from china was not sufficient. >> >> i think there is a potential going forward maybe with threats that may be have been articulated to see if they can deliver some of those things maybe there is a positive path might think neither government was

from china is just patently untrue. even dating back to the bush administration and obama and ministration, these policies have been used to slow down imports from china. now there are current problems in the global economy that we can attribute some of them to china. we can talk about the overcapacity problem in steel, the overcapacity problem in aluminum. these are really just kind of symptoms of deeper problems, which are that china is fundamentally a different type of economy than the united states, western europe, japan, korea, market oriented economies. ,hen china came into the wto there was an expectation that china might become more like this, more market oriented, but it has not happened automatically. we are at a critical juncture today, 15 or 16 years after china's entry into the wto, about what to do about the fact that china has not become a market economy. are the rules of the trading system adequate to deal with that? those problems would have been there regardless of who won the 2016 election. and whether or not we had these issues of steel and aluminum overcapacity. , otheri mentioned administrations ha

pulling the shows attitudes for the us and china or more hostile than attitudes in the us towards china, but when you think about it you realize of course, because from china's a standpoint the us is supporting countries who are making territorial claims against china or we are supporting taiwan in ways that china sees as interfering on a very important territorial issue to them and we don't have any territorial issues with china in the same way that the chinese see the issue, so it's not surprising that if one site has a territorial issue that will affect public attitude. public attitude is important and our panelists will get into the subject. i will encourage them to be equally diligent in speaking within the time limit. please remember we have one additional member of our panel so the pressures on as will be even greater. we will start off-- there was a chinese purchase that who was supposed to be commenting on the economic side, one of the drafters of the chinese papers. unfortunately, he could not be per-- present to the economic issue is where the us will dominate the presentation. although, i'm sure if we say any think the chinese feel needs

you know, rico, the main issue here is china building an almost amount of infrastructure, roads, rails, ports, airports, pipelines, using up the excess capacity fromanies inside china and the infrastructure building that's gone on in these china over the past 20 years or so, bringing that construction effort to china's neighbours to boost trade at the end of the day, sell more chinese exports and create more chinese influence. what are the challenges of this initiative and how is this going to be funded? the challenges are immense and numerous. different in different places. in many other places, just beyond me to the west, central asia, we have questions of instability and questions of corruption. infrastructure projects are hard to keep clean at the best of times, they unfold over long periods of time. if you're dealing with non— transparent government in china and then nontransparent government in its neighbours and partners, then you have a recipe for potentially vanotti projects, projects going wrong and a lot of misallocated resources —— vanotti. that something china's commercial partners are worried about and it is something private busines
