that's what xi jinping terms china got rich. then we have xi jinping's era, the first five years up in 2012-17. xi jinping has really upended much of deng xiaoping approach to governing from the collective decionaking, hepoke to consolidate power in his own hands so truly much more of a single leader model. as a poster with the drawing the markets, withdrawing the party for much of society and the economy. xi jinping has reasserted the power of the communist power in society come in the economy as opposed to welcoming influences from outside the country. xiping has constructed a ki of virtual wall of regulations and restrictions so he can work closely control what comes in the country and what goes out. maybe the most defining feature for people in the united states and elsewhere is that xi jinping has really rejected deng xiaoping was model of brightness and obscurity maintaining a low profile of foreign-policy to embrace a far more expansive and ambitious foreign-policy for china. >> just out of cur, dtys xi jinping speak of h

president xi jinping has been watching this unfold, he may feel left out and at the same time trade tensionsre rising between the u.s. and china. the question of whether or not xi will hold fast on implementation of sanctions, becomes more at risk as a result of the convergence of issues. kevin: the brothers saying yesterday would like to see president xi jinping and act stringent border security and policies along the north korea-china border. why is that so important? scott: we need pressure to get north korea to perform. this is a classic coercive diplomatic approach, where we're using economic sanctions, political isolation and the threat of military force in order to open away for diplomacy. the north koreans don't like the fact that we're trying to use coercion. they want to look like they are an actor, coming at this from a position of strength. maintenance of pressure will be critical to getting over the hump in terms of getting kim jong-un to commit to denuclearization. shery: how much will trade tensions with china effect? scott: china in many respects has already relaxed implement

korean leader has wrapped up his two day trip to china kim jong un was in china to prefer president xi jinping on his historic meeting with the u.s. president earlier this month it's kim's third visit to china since march she is valid to support north korea's economic reconstruction and said there would be definitely peace and stability on the peninsula adrian brand has more now from beijing. well this is an unusual visit when kim jong un came here in march and again in may details of the visit were only released after he left china this time the details were released on the morning that he arrived he received a full welcoming ceremony at the great hall of the people with full military honors slowly the north korean leader is being eased into the international fold no longer treated as the leader of a pariah state but as a bona fide leader of his country now i think that kim jong un and president xi jinping would have discussed perhaps what has so far not been made public about kim jong un's discussions in singapore with president donald trump this of course is where the two leaders committed

jury in their opening statements before their closed door talks president xi jinping said that china would never seed one inch of its territory now he could possibly have been referring to taiwan but also to the south china sea where of course china has been building up its islands deploying surface to air missiles on at least seven of those islands the united states has essentially accused china of reneging on earlier promises to slow down its building to stop it all together at a security summit in singapore just a few weeks ago in fact james mattis said that china was guilty of of intimidation and coercion towards its neighbors because of course other countries have overlapping claims in the south china sea and in recent weeks i mean china has been conducting what it calls freedom of navigation operation. in this area and sometimes that means that u.s. warships come very close to some of the islands that china occupies and analysts are saying that what we're seeing at the moment is a is a dangerous game of brinkmanship where there is a real potential for miscalculation i think tha

and we saw xi jinping at that summit in november of 2016.outcome of the summit. obama was warning him, trump's going to -- means what he says on trade and there's a political constituency in the united states. i'll never forget. xi sat back and said, well, if an amateur leader wants to throw the world into chaos, then the world will know who to blame. what i heard xi saying is i am now going to be able to claim high ground on the u.s. president. it hasn't surprised me that you know how bizarrely xi jinping is the spokesperson for trade and globalization around the world. >> i've got to ask you in closing, you know, people often point out that presidents always go gray in the white house. >> yes. >> i'm going to show you two photographs from your book. >> yes. >> photograph when you started. >> yes. >> photograph when you started and photograph midway through. you are now, as i may say so, essentially bald. >> yes. yes. >> did you lose all of your hair because of working with the white house? >> you know, i think if you read the book you'll u

vladimir putin is in beijing announcing trade investment agreements with his chinese counterpart xi jinping described the russian leader as his best friend in the world to china's first ever friendship medal. and the taliban in afghanistan has announced a three day cease fire off the end of ramadan but it won't include foreign forces and about fighters will melt defend themselves if attacked during the truce at the start of the holiday later this month. now just days away from the high stakes summit between the u.s. president and north korea's leader kim jong un's country is regarded as one of the most repressive in the world the united nations estimates there are one hundred thousand political prisoners detained in camps dozens of foreigners are prevented from leaving but hey reports from seoul. in south korea there are many emotions about the changing relationship with north korea among small vocal nationalist groups there is suspicion about pyongyang's motives concerned even paranoid that south korea is about to be engulfed by communism away from the loud rallies there are those for whom

because xi jinping is now a dictator for life. and he has adopted personally this mantra of indisputed historical sovereignty, that means he cannot compromise on this. so we need to find a better way to manage this. on the greater topic that comes out of this, of countering gray zone challenges, same thing with the russian little green men in ukraine after they annexed crimea and all these things. pushing back symetrically on this, it's got a lot of disadvantages. pushing back asymetrically has got some possibilities. we need to be able to find ways to start doing this. we need to be able to stand up, in my opinion, for the principl that we established coming out of world war ii, that generally kept the peace between the great powers despite a bunch of proxy wars below the level of great power conflict. either we believe in this or we don't. but right now, we're not effectively answering these coercive challenges and that puts our friends and allies and the maritime democracies on the spot and they've got to adjust and we don't wa

xi jinping, and there shouldn't be any sanctions when negotiations are underway and this south koreans talking about restoring a form of trade. with all of those players appearing to be moving toward eroding sanctions, how can you keep the sanctions regime in place? what leverage do you have? >> a lot of leverage. we have tremendous leverage. i do believe china despite my relationship with pres. xi jinping, matt i told you i have great respect for and like also a lot, we are having tough talks on trade and that probably affects china somewhat but i have to do what i have to do and over the last two months the border is more open than when it first started but that is what it is, we have to do it. we have a tremendous tremendous deficit in trade commonly known as a trade deficit. we have tremendous deficit in trade with china. we can't continue to let that happen. and in terms of the border, i don't think it has a relationship or affects my relatiship to pres. xi jinping but when we first started we were not ready to go that route and as we started preparing and getting ready, i don't t

of course the china is still very much in the mix as regards this summit even though president xi jinpingwill not be attending it it was a seven hour flight and this ensured that of course the air craft passed through chinese airspace for as long as possible passing even across the island of finance and then down into southeast asia now there has been very very tight security the north koreans of course always worried about the prospect of that assassination attempt but the chinese i think were able to say we can guarantee your security if you are in one of our aircraft one of our aircraft passing through our airspace now of course this is only the second international flight that the north korean leader has taken since he became leader of his country at the end of two thousand and eleven the last flight he took was to the city of daraa in northeast china a few weeks ago when he met president xi jinping now later today we understand the north korean leader will be meeting with singapore's prime minister who of course is hosting these two world leaders president donald trump and kim jong u
