i think president xi jinping is very popular in china, among the people. why?ely eliminating poverty, in all shapes and forms, in china by 2020. he is really projecting a more positive and affirmative image for the chinese people on the global scene. and he is different from the previous generations of the chinese leaders. he is different from deng xiaoping, for example, for whom i worked with. however, i would say he is leading china, and china is now much larger than under deng xiaoping, and much more impactful, as i mentioned, and i think china deserves to have a more affirmative leader, a leader who can really stand up firmly on the global stage and say what the chinese people really think about, in their hearts. you are an expert in international relations. i wonder whether you see dangers in a policy which appears to be prepared to spend $1 trillion or more on this expanded belt and road initiative, which frankly goes far beyond the old silk route from china to the mediterranean. it seems to be a global ambition to spend money from countries like pakistan

it is not what president xi jinping is saying right now that's interesting it's what he's been doing for the past few days he's been touring central china and earlier this week he visited junk c. province to go to a rare earths mine now china at the moment controls about 90 percent of the world's supply of rare earths one of the country's exports to the united states but so far the trumpet ministration has not been slapping tariffs on rare earths as it has been on just about everything else that china exports to the united states so this visit was filled with powerful symbolism now last week one state controlled newspaper suggested that perhaps it was time for china to start reducing rare earth exports to the united states as one way of hurting the trumpet ministration the other message that's been coming out from president xi jinping this week and it's a message that's been loud and clear is that it's time for china to become self-reliant when it comes to technology he feels that china has been left to vulnerable too dependent on what the united states makes things like microchips a

and the politics is very divided so facing the especially after president xi jinping has took office the relationship between us and china has really changed we saw that the u.s. labeled china as a revisionist and then as a competitor so from their original follower of the us china started to arise as this major producer a manufacturer in the world and now it seems that a within ten years it's probably going to become the largest economy in the world all competing with the u.s. even the most advanced technology and this is something that i don't think the us are are ready to accept yet let's bring in russ feingold in taipei. telling is about to become the biggest economy in the world that's just fact competition isn't it as well that it's not china's fault that the us has an issue with that so why pick a fight well you've mentioned to keep words and that's fair competition so what's changed recently or in the time that president has been in office since the beginning of two thousand and seventeen is a consensus in the united states across industry and frankly across both republicans

people either now it still seems very likely that president xi jinping and president donald trump will meet at the g 20 summit in osaka in japan at the end of june but analysts are warning the by then the damage to the relationship could be very serious indeed. president trump is playing down the trade war with china saying it's nothing more than a little squabble trump says a trade agreement is still possible with china wants to strike a deal to tariffs imposed by both washington and beijing have rattled global markets although they have since rebounded the last round of trade talks ended on friday without a breakthrough. where having a little squabble with china because we've been treated very unfairly for many many decades for actually a long time in jeddah financials a long time ago and it was a 3rd one handling now i think it's going to be i think it's going to turn out extremely well we're in a very strong position we are the piggy bank that everybody likes to take advantage of or take from and we can't let that happen anymore taxi driver in south korea has died after setting him

president xi jinping knows what sort of leavers to pull with president from a times like this and this was a letter it seems full of a moly and soothing language so it seems that the the mood is perhaps changing that said china is very nervous this hike in tariffs comes at a time when china's economy is continuing to slow and this is a very important year for china's leaders because in october they will mark the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china not a time when chinese leaders can appear to be weak now china has said it's prepared to respond with countermeasures to this increase in tariffs what they are hasn't so far been specified but china could certainly make the business environment here in china very difficult for american corporations it could also stop or export ing key components and equipment that u.s. companies need for their businesses but for the moment we have to wait and see where china will take this dispute the north korean state media has released pictures of a missile test hours. south korea detected a weapons launch on thursday.

and the politics is very divided so facing the especially after president xi jinping has took office the relationship between u.s. and china has really changed we saw that the u.s. labeled china as a revisionist and then as a competitor so from their original follower of the u.s. china started to arise as this major producer a manufacturer in the world and now it seems that a within ten years it's probably going to become the largest economy in the world all competing with the u.s. even the most advanced technology and this is something that i don't think the us are are ready to accept yet let's bring in russ feingold in taipei. telling is about to become the biggest economy in the world that's just fact competition isn't it as well that it's not china's fault that the u.s. has an issue with that so why pick a fight well you've mentioned to keep words and that's fair competition so what's changed recently or in the time that president has been in office since the beginning of two thousand and seventeen is a consensus in the united states across industry and frankly across both republ

trade war is still going on and those tariffs have started to kick in well meanwhile president xi jinping has been addressing a conference here in beijing he's been talking to the dialogue of asian civilizations it's a conference that's all about asia for asians very much another example of sort of chinese soft power one of the themes there's been how china's rise in the past few years has not been a threat to the existing world order and president xi jinping in his speech said that all civilizations are equal and although he didn't mention the united states by name it's worth noting what he did say he said that if someone thinks his civilization and race is superior than others and stubbornly tries to change or even replace other organise civilizations it's stupid and disastrous well i wonder who he had in mind when he said those words mean well in state media here in china the the tone is still very strident in the reporting of the trade war and for the 1st time in several months the media is referring directly to a trade war as opposed to. trade tensions but not naming president from n

with regard to xi jinping, the relationship has been jovial at this point. he talks about his trip to beijing. xi jinping gave the president a private tour of the forbidden city in beijing which the president talks about one of the true highlights of his time in office so far. there seems to be some respect there, that he understands xi jinping is going to make the best of china and the united states. at the same time, i wouldn't call them natural allies, either. there have been points of strain, points of friction. there were sometimes that the two felt like they were on the opposite side of a deal and it fell apart. i think the president wants to get to the g-20 and he feels like that may be a step that needs to be taken for this trade war to end. >> it's a good point. as you very graciously pointed out, we were watching the president meeting with or greeting the hungarian leader there, somebody who has not visited the united states in decades because of autocratic policies. hans nichols, a man jarrish, thank you very much. >>> the president said he wanted

lou: there is no question i would think in the minds of xi jinping and the vice premier that they putves in a bad way because their economy is cratering right now. it is a serviceable word as i can find. it is a mess. and this will create a bigger mess. it gives a greater opportunity to the u.s. economy to further develop additional supply chains around the globe. let's turn quickly, if we may, to the carrier strike group that is heading toward the persian gulf. that strike group also a bomber task force. moving into the middle east, directly in response to threats from iran. give us your take, your thoughts? >> address remain a little bit unspecific was reportedly intelligence passed to us, media reports from israeli and it could be a direct action that the iranians are planning in response to higher essentially the embargo on the export of oil. the sanctions on the export of oil. but as far as who would do this, with is the iranians are the revolutionary guard or the other instrumentalities like hezbollah or hamas striking israel. it seems to be unclear. the ministration may know an

. >> president trump and xi jinping are likely to see each other at the end of june.cording to treasury secretary steven mnuchin and. mr. trump had planned to meet his chinese counterpart when the two countries were on the verge of reaching a trade deal, but talks ended earlier this month with no agreement. facing newi is pressure from democrats to open impeachment proceedings. hello see meets with party members today behind closed doors. they will discuss president inmp's defiance investigations. several democrats have called on an impeachment inquiry. president trump will name ken cuccinelli the second to coordinate immigration policies. he is an immigration hardliner who was an unsuccessful candidate for governor in 2013. he wants proposed to denying citizenship to american-born children of illegal immigrants. iran could surpass enriched uranium limits set under its nuclear deal within weeks. that's likely to escalate tensions with the u.s.. the 2015 deal cut iran's enriched irani and by 97%. iran announced it was scale back some of its commitments. that was after

president trump told reporters a letter fromed xi jinping that might lead to a phone call, and signaledy know more. >> our country is doing great. we will find out about china tonight. i think in the end you will be very impressed with the kind of things that we are doing. juliane: joining us now, emanuel. a "beautiful letter" wasn't enough to support the markets. how do you set yourself up for this element of volatility? >> the name of the show, "what'd you miss" is incredibly appropriate today. we had headlines from north korea, from iran. joe: it seems like a long time ago. it has been a long day. [laughter] >> that is the kind of day it has been. being in front of the screen all day, being on the trading floor, there is a lot of tension. there is desired to be as close to whatever benchmark you look at as possible, given the fact that clearly, based on these headlines, the sentiment has swung wildly over the last 24 hours. so to us, it's more one of these it was very encouraging the market came off of its lows today, but more of a show me story. perhaps we will be shown, but we will

we're on it. >>> president trump's tariff threat, backing xi jinping into a corner. fronted just as a trade deal looked imminent. our next guest, one of the main china watchers, how does xi respond without losing face? what a story. we'll be right back. my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. are you in good hands? stuart: i hesitate to say we're stabilizing, because you don't stabilize with a minus 340 points, but that's where we are. we had been down much more than that. now we're down 345, 26,158. that's the dow as we speak. >>> moving on to china. back to the china trade deal. let's bring in asia watcher stephen mozer. stephen, i think xi jinping has been backed into a corner. i think it's going to be very hard for him to get out of that corner and save face. is the whole deal in doubt? >> well, we'll see, but remember back in december 1st of last year, he sat across the table from donald trump and he made 140 promises

commitments that it made then that is possibly the result of you know direction from president xi jinping. you may have felt that during the past few weeks his negotiators had been giving too much away and of course this is the one year when you know a chinese leader cannot afford to appear weak because the communist party is 100 years old and in october china marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic a year when a chinese leader really does have to appear strong at this point lead over a sensitive issue like trade with the united states was going to say despite the fact that donald trump has imposed these these tariffs there is still time for resolutions and. you're absolutely right because these tariffs the trump announced on friday night will only apply to products chinese products that leave this country after midday beijing time on friday may 10th now that means it will be several weeks before those items those products reach the united states probably about 2 weeks so they have about 2 weeks in which to do a deal not a great deal of time but lou her china's

the president will be in japan shortly, as will xi-jinping.me of this. in terms of launching a formal trade negotiation once again, i think we'll have to wait and see when that occurs. tracee: on friday the white house lifted tariffs o -- metal imports on canada and mexico. what's your take with that move? >> i think this move gives the white house a little more wiggle room with respect to its broader trade policy. the chinese are going to impose counter veiling duties on the tariffs that the u.s. recently announced. by pushing back on the auto tariffs, by reducing or eliminating the tariffs on steel and aluminum, it takes the pressure off of some of the u.s. businesses and manufacturers which are expecting to possibly get hit harder by chinese tariffs in the future. tracee: what do you see right now as the path to a trade deal with china? >> i think we're probably going to have to wait and see how the chinese economy performs over the next three to five months. if things continue to weaken, domestically within china, they're going to have to
