think in areas more in the tier three, tier four city which is are mainly located in central and western china where the growth is coming from anyway and that's why we're also positive on gdp, their measures will not be tight i think because there we're not seeing the speculative pressures that we saw in tier one and tier two cities. so it's two different markets. >> ultimately if you think the conditions are not as tight as had been feared, what about the imbalances that we continue to see the numbers keep going their separate ones. big enter surprises are doing well and smaller ones are suffering from liquidity crunches. and we hear that just anecdotally a lot are going bust. >> that's what con founds us is that trade data, basically china trade data, doesn't seem to be matching the recovery. smes continue to fight tight conditions and need more cuts along the way. and i think that will happen to get the banks to increase credit growth. so i don't know about the pmi index. it doesn't correlate for us in terms of forecasting gdp and given that the official china pmi is pretty short, we can't

china. and one effect of this is being felt by uighur people living in pakistan. the xinjian uighur autonomous region lies in the western region of china. many have migrated over to pakistan. ethnic tensions sometimes escalate into violence. but even across the border in pakistan, the uighurs no longer feel secure. many of them believe that pakistan's closer ties with china have led to them being harassed there as well. nhk world's hideki uwi reports from islamabad. >> reporter: china and pakistan conducted joint military drills in pakistan. one exercise involved attacking a supposed terrorist organization hiding in the mountains. >> reporter: their target is an extremist organization called etim, which is fighting for uighur independence from china. >> those elements of etim who are operating in the border areas of southern afghanistan. >> reporter: many of pakistan's uighurs live in a community outside the capital islamabad. umar runs a jewelry shop. he thinks chinese authorities are watching them with the pakistani gornment. four years ago, he set up an ngo to teach children uighur culture and language. but after the

involvement, not perhaps the primary challenge now, but what is it going to do to the way western businesses regard china how they handle it will be crucially important. it comes on the back of a rio tinto executive who was also imprisoned in china just a few years ago. i think the ability of the chinese government to continue to show that even if they are not a democracy but they have increasingly improved role of law and transparency of that process is going to be crucial. in fact, if you look at what china needs now, i would say they need global integration. the reason they have grown so quickly is because they integrated in caught up on manufacturing and the next phase of growth requires the same thing on services. that means more foreigners, more engagement with the global market. one of the gene -- one of the things to and is behind on is reforming rule of law to catch up with economic reform. >> the fact that his wife has been arrested, is she going to get a fair trial? is an arrest an indication of guilt? how does it work? >> obviously, they have been very kind of strong evidence. you can see fro

tomorrow, rain will be moving into the southern half of the korean peninsula, as well as western japan from chinaup towards the north, there's a low pressure system spreading a wintry mix across mongolia and as the temperatures move through, temperatures will drop significantly on your thursday. down towards the south, wet picture again across southeastern china. it's been dealing with heavy rain. but an additional 100 millimeters is expected. mainly in gong dong province. the ground is already very well saturated so any additional rain is not good news here. now moving over to the americas. things are getting much calmer and dry across much of the northeastern states and eastern canada. however, it's a different story for the southeastern corner of the u.s. this slow-moving low pressure system is still producing thunderstorms and heavy rain across the eastern half of the deep south and the stormy conditions will likely continue all day wednesday. up towards the north, there's a low pressure system producing a wintry mix in the northern plains. that will be moving into the great lakes region and

the report makes the report that there are assumptions among some people, some western observers, that china as you said, had kind of a bloated underperforming industrial -- defense industrial sector. that assumption is not true and people need to understand that they're quite capable. >> you guys -- you mentioned cyber, but you guys also commissioned a fascinating cyber report. what were your findings of the cyber report? >> we do not just staff research which is the indigenous weapons report, but we also commission outsiders to come in and do reports for us. this is done by north rup grummond and their report is that china's network operations -- the capabilities of their computer network operations have risen to such a degree that they pose a threat to the u.s. military in the event of a conflict. >> what are some specific and most interesting features that you guys found? >> well, i think one of the interesting things about the report is that it puts together all in one place the research institutes, the programs, sponsored by the state that are being used to support computer network ope

fantastic welcoming committee to emerge in south china as a great superpower but it chinese know it they know this is about american culture all of the western pacific and a south china sea and they will have their counter measures in place of course what do you think that some of those countermeasures could be i mean you really paint quite a build up of military presence by the u.s. in the region what are we going to see from aging more specifically. well they are building a nuclear submarine they are improving their uneasy peace have a strategy which starts from the middle east and goes up to the north china sea which is being at the right that by any think tanks in the us and by some europeans as the string of pearls strategy which is so poor that the chinese navy has or will have access in the future these sports are policing people i'll give some examples in the south pakistan in the southeast myanmar for instance in bangladesh but in the south china sea where lots of oil and gas are there for the taking china will sit down with the us is the tent countries including the philippines that we mentioned vietnam singapore as well which is a

where as christianity in china is quite alright as long as it's self financing, self instructing and is self governing. so that it's not is a sense an extension of foreign western power, so they are very concerned about that. but, china is loosening up and people have much more freedom to explore and read and think and discuss about the ethical issues and the principle questions of the meaning of life. and they don't get it from the state, and they are very curious, and the media is much more open to bring in ideas and images from the outside. and, i think there's a new, there's a pluralism of belief that actually befits a very large and ancient society. >> you are touching on the ethical dimension, also is important and i think the media needs a bit of education there too, because unless we have an understanding of the different way of seeing the world we get even horrific events like the tennemen square event, that as bad as it is it doesn't help it if it's framed in a ethical frame work that befits a western mind when the event occurred in a whole other context as being seeing here. now helen i've been promising - >> i want to get back to your question why?

china, russia, and other concerned nations. >> the united states and european nations are expected to condemn the north korean launch. russia is also expected to side with the western nations. the reaction of the remaining permanent council member, china, will be the key to the outcome of the council meeting. >>> china's leaders are calling for calm. the country often acts as a link between the north and the rest of the world. our susumu kojima tells us how the launch is playing out there. >> chinese state-run media has been giving friday's events in north korea front page coverage, quoting u.s., korean, and japanese media. however, some in beijing are still not sure. >> translator: did you hear the news? >> translator: no, not yet. >> translator: they say they failed. >> translator: i'll find out later. >> translator: what do you mean? north korea never fails. >> reporter: a foreign ministry spokesperson told reporters that the government is asking concerned nations to act calmly. >> translator: china is carefully watching how other countries react to the launch. we hope to continue the dialogue among concerned nations in order to maintain peace and stability on t

china. some of the western countries that makes show call for an eight china is motivated to make investmentsthat are mutually beneficial and obviously they have a vested interest in the oil so these are then so they did they'd been pretty active in africa in many places in africa and all of which is based on a mutually win when. they help with the local infrastructure and getting a return from their investment in the in the resources all right george co-founder of company international strategic alliances thanks very much for your insight you're welcome pleasure. well they consider themselves descendants of an ancient tribe that's been in existence in the promised land for thousands of years for some their journey back has taken years by the end of the pilgrimage say they were faced with government oppression in the very place they thought of as home parties policy or points. deep in israel's negative desired other women serve an ancient people trying to build a modern homeland but these mostly black americans are not jews nor do they profess to be instead they call themselves african hebrew

uprisings and both of these countries have seen their own uprisings and unrest of muslim community in western chinachina is one of the five largest muslim communities and you saw a protest movement before the election of vladimir putin in moscow so they don't like the idea that the u.n. is going to stand with people power and think it's a dangerous precedence to set and russia have long standing commercial ties and both have veto powers at the united nations. it's been difficult to get the international community to stand as one and that's limited the american options. i don't think anybody likes the idea of the use of force. syria is a much more complicated country. more larger, much more sophistica sophisticated communities, and the idea that force could work in weeks and months is probably doubtful and it would be much more costly and this is the time that the europeans are facing their own financial woes and the united states with its obligations in iraq and afghanistan. host: our guest has edited or authored a number of books and she's a senior fellow of the institute of peace here in washingt

western pacific in terms of maritime and air threats. most of our concerns in those two regions are now centered around iran and the persian gulf on the one hand with china and the western pacific on the other. they are not primarily scenarios with ground combat. the threats have shifted a little bit. which is part of why i'm in favor of shifting ourselves from a to two land one capability to a one land war capability. however, if you're going to do the one land war, i admit you have to be pretty darn careful to make sure you have enough capability to do it right. you can no longer rely on the second package to beef up your first mission if things go wrong. you'd better give yourself some added margin of assurance and assume you're in smaller operations around the world. we may need to be stablization missions. i can middle age scenarios where we stay in afghanistan with 10,000 or 20,000 u.s. troops until 2020. i could scenarios where we wind up like it or not in syria with a nato-arab league coalition trying to defend the innocent civilians from president assad is slaughtering in increasing number. i could imagine a mission in emyemen for a somewhat spl
