we know what xi jinping wants to achieve. we know very clearly the position he wants china to play in the international order, exerting china's influence to shape the rules of the road. moving china's economy up the innovation letter to really be at the commanding heights of critical and emerging technologies. and making china reforging china into what they call that work report a modern socialist states. the problem is the longer xi jinping is in power the less likely achieving those goals is becoming. if you look at the gains china made just five or so years after he had been in power, the transformations for china that built its aggregate strength more remarkable. xi jinping c&c making withdrawals from the strategic bank account. and really creating headwinds for china the u.s. and maybe we can talk about this later needs to take advantage of it. but more importantly all of the main headwinds we can classify china facing demographic, productivity, xi jinping is not fundamentally addressing those. he is putting up band-aids

but i thought that was a pretty stern opening by xi jinping. >> carley: a pretty stern opening by xi that will go down in history. the first time meeting face-to-face ahead of the g20 summit tomorrow that starts tomorrow and comes with so much going on with taiwan. obviously, the threat there. the war in ukraine and china becoming very close with russia throughout that war here at the ongoing threat about what the nuclear ambitions of all of the actors between china, russia, iran, also korea and then seeming to group together in a strange alliance at this very time here that is wiping considered such an important meeting, dr. grant, thank you for joining us this morning. we will keep an eye on all things out of this meeting in bali. we appreciated. in the meantime back at home 65,000 residents in california will no longer have officers performing daytime patrols in their neighborhood. the sheriff's office is shutting them down because of their "catastrophic static gnomic staffing shortages." difficulties with recruitment and into the filmic retention of employees directly linked to pa

we are talking president biden's meeting with chinese president xi jinping.ow would berl a great time to call (202)748-8000 a zero for democrats (202)748-8001 for republicans. independence (202)748-8002. as folks are calling in and mention a senior advisor at the center for strategic and international studies. how long have you been sending china? how often do you make it to china these days? >> i first went there in 1988. i used to go there every year, many times in 2019 he would on eight trips to china and once the pandemic broke out i couldn't. i was meeting people on zoom. but i finally went to china last month in september for a seven week trip to beijing and met folks throughout the chinese government. business committees, scholars, journalists. >> what you do when you're there? >> there is just trying to break the ice to reestablish communications with other scholars and people in the government. you lose a lot when you're talking online with people parts are talking face-to-face. in addition we are trying to promote increased communication and dialogu

washington has been very vocal about xi jinping's china increasingly getting authoritarian at home androad. xi's perspective, biden is doubling down to contain rise on global stage economically and more importantly on the issue of taiwan. so that's why xi jinping indicated he is shifting the communist party's top priority from economic growth to national security, something he reminded his top generals just a few days ago that the focus of their training should be fighting and winning wars. so it is this kind of rhetoric and policy directions make this meeting so more -- so crucially important despite the low bar of expectations set by both sides. bianca and max? >> ivan, we're probably going to hear from biden after the meeting there will be a press conference? let's have a look actually. we're told the pictures are coming in. there they are . >> that's the two most powerful people in the world ahead of a quite substantial meeting. how long do you expect this meeting to last? >> reporter: the white house blocked out hours potentially for this. and they have also indicated that biden w

this is a redline for xi jinping.s you know, there have been a number of occasions where he said the u.s. would defend taiwan. jonathan: some might say this is the appetizer for the g20 but i say it is the main event. can we get a communique of the g20? annmarie: it is a great question. we are just off the heels of a multinational summit in cambodia and there was no g20 communique because russia said they could not sign their name into something with this kind of knowledge and something they say the united states was pressuring others to sign. it would be regarding the war in ukraine, calling it prudence invasion of -- putin's invasion of ukraine. they continue to say it is a special military operation. you can see the departments -- the divergence of different countries. you want to maintain good relations with russia, even though a u.s. official said it to us, there is probably some embarrassment in beijing about what is going on in terms of putin's invasion of ukraine. coming -- lisa: coming into the meeting, he ac

the most widespread show of defiance since xi jinping became leader. >>> crude prices slip to an almost two-year low with the worries over the world's biggest importer. >>> and global equity markets and europe following asia in the red and wall street poised to open lower on the first full day of trading since the thanksgiving holiday. >>> black friday online sales topped $9 billion as consumers flock to buy now pay later platforms to offset soaring prices. >>> widespread protests erupted in cities across china over the weekend with people taking to the streets and demonstrating against the communist party zero covid policies protests in cities like shanghai where people called on xi jinping to step down it comes as daily covid-19 cases hit a record high for the fifth straight day topping 40,000 that number is absolutely dramatic in the context of where china has been here, joumanna. one could say that it is already a struggling economy and the tighter covid-19 policies have made things even more difficult to find any growth does this perhaps change maybe the way xi jinping's viewed as

it was remarkable to hear "step down xi jinping," amongst protesters.rystallize into something else in terms of a more direct challenge to the ccp? steve: xi jinping will be worried that if the protests in shanghai are allowed to continue, then it will crystallize into something bigger. that would be a movement nationwide to question the authority of the communist party to stay in power, or for xi jinping to stay beyond his 10 years rule. this is why i don't see him showing weakness on this occasion. tom: professor, is it also arguably a reminder of the huge domestic challenges china faces? and maybe calls into question some of the hand wringing about geopolitical risks china poses? i'm thinking of taiwan, can they afford to consider taiwan as they wrestle with huge domestic challenges? steve: domestic challenges are huge. in the best of times, in the last 10 years, there are significant challenges. but the way xi jinping handled them, the pandemic was a global problem everybody had to confront. it was challenging in many different parts of the world, b

orville: biden and xi jinping getting personally together. had talks virtually but have not set down -- sat down. in a curious way, biden is precisely the right person to thaw out. he toosome trips with him in the past, hosted him in the u.s.. to the extent that it is possible to know xi jinping, biden knows him. he is a very open person. the is some hope there. of course, we have two countries that have very different political systems. china has become much more autocratic, bullying countries around the world, much more aggressive, bellicose. they think this is their moment. they have gained sficient weth and power to gain not only a voice in the world but to begin setting the rules of the game. there is an awful lot of contentiousness and disagreement. one wonders just how r they can get. if they can lower the temperature a little. amy: my call, what you think needs to happen right now? it was not clear that this face-to-face meeting was even going to happen but it did. what you feel china and the u.s. have to give at this point. what need

xi jinping and kishida met yesterday. essentially, both sides agree to work out their differences and to work at improving bilateral relations. the backdrop, i want to bring up the new zealand prime minister. i had officer just speak to her yesterday. -- i had the opportunity to speak to her yesterday. i wouldn't say new zealand is neutral, but she took a neutral stance and said careful of world politicians. trying to stoke fear at a time of geopolitical tensions. >> our openness is what has got us to the point where we have seen such rapid development through our epic economies. now for the next time, we have the opportunity again we just need to bring more people with us. inclusivity in our growth will be what allows us to continue on in this way. if we don't, we will have dissatisfied citizens and more politicians who stoke fear. stephen: another busy day here as the effect leader summit begins two days of talks. >> let's get you to new york, vonnie quinn has the first word headlines. vonnie: the u.k. chancellor has ce

course, you know, especially during the last four years under the trump presidency, we have seen xi jinpingm emperor xi, he's become much more emboldened and empowered. hasn't he? >> that's exactly right. the context for this meeting is that xi jinping has just completed his 20th communist party congress, and what they did was, they coronated him as a essentially a dictator for life. he purged his rivals and elevated his cronies to what we can basically call totalitarian power. he's showing up in bali more stronger, confident and bolder than . we saw what happened in russia when vladimir putin got to totalitarian power. it didn't work out well. he made a lot of bad decisions and became more aggressive. that's the fear. we don't know what xi jinping is going to do, but what biden is trying to do, he's urging him not to go down the putin route, especially when it comes to taiwan. the problem, of course, is that because xi jinping is more powerful than he's ever been and the united states is seen as less present in the region, despite biden's visit, i don't think there's anyone who would say t

meanwhile, president biden holding a bilateral meeting right now with xi jinping in bali. e for the first time since biden took office. here's what biden and xi said earlier this morning. >> as leaders of our two nations, we share responsibility in my view to show that china and the united states can manage our differences, prevent competition from becoming anything near conflict, and of to find ways to work together on urgent global issues that require our mutual cooperation. >> we need to find the right direction for the bilateral relationship going forward and elevate the relationship. a statesman should think about and know of where to lead his country. maria: the meeting expected to last two hours. both expected to discuss taiwan, ukraine and north korea. biden will hold a press conference at 8:30 a.m. eastern this morning to talk about it. joining me right now is the found i of the atlas organization, the author of china's vision of victory, jonathan ward is here. jonathan, good to see you. thanks very much for being here. what do you think comes out of this meeting a

more party control, more power for xi jinping within the party.e economy, we see a shift of economic policy toward what i call the marxist left. more emphasized on state run enterprises, rather than the private sector. more emphasis on wealth distribution, rather than unlimited capital accumulation. on foreign security policy, i also seem the continued strengthening in china's nationalism narrative to the right. in support of a more assertive foreign security policy. but the overall benefit, if you like, of the biden-xi jinping meeting is a high level officials process, blinken is due to go to beijing next year. with a view to resuming what xi jinping calls strategic communication. that is what i think is necessary to find the stabilization mechanisms in this relationship, for the immediate time ahead. haslinda: when you talk about former policy, what would that mean for countries like australia, which have been at the center of tensions? are you perhaps more encouraged that there could be a normalization of relations? kevin: there's a big differe

xi jinping was hiding in plain sight all along. his speeches were often ignored because the most important speeches that xi jinping gave, they were not the ones he gave at donald tusk or when he was in the rose garden, it was those that he gave to his central committee which are not usually translated into english and are sometimes kept secret for weeks or even months after the event. but you get a striking appreciation. he is hostile to the u.s., at to moscow. he believes that communism will prevail, it is clear from his speeches he believes that capitalism will perish and a chinese model of socialism will continue to spread around the world. there are no more illusions anymore, particularly describing the events which ended with his -- after the striking events which ended with his predecessor being humiliated and wrenched out of his chair and waltzed off the stage. president xi has gotten rid of anyone who was not good for -- of anyone who is competent in economics and he has elevated leaders known mostly for their jobs and secu

and let me meet -- i just met in american with xi jinping with the people's republic of china. we had, excuse me, we had an open and candid conversation with our intentions and our priorities. it was clear, he was clear and i was clear that we'll defend american interests and values, promote human rights and stand up for the international order and work in lockstep with our allies and partners. we're going to compete vigorously. but i'm not looking for conflict, i'm looking to manage this competition responsibly and i want to make sure, make sure that every country abides by the international rules of the road. and we discussed that. one china policy, our one china policy has not changed. has not changed. we oppose unilateral change in the status quo by either side and we're committed to maintaining the peace and stability in the taiwan straits. it was also clear that china and united states should be able to work together where we can to solve global challenges and discussed russia's aggression against ukraine and reaffirmed our shared belief of the threat and use of nuclear w

the president did not commit to telling xi jinping -- the u.s. would defend taiwan militarily. how should taiwan interpret that answer, and second, the treasury released a report saying on criticizing china for not being more transparent about its foreign-exchange policy. he -- they are calling it a failure, when they speak about that? mr. sullivan: your first question you have seen it president biden go into -- he does not to characterize about what he liked to say. he likes to say it. for how taiwan might react to that, we will have an opportunity, as an administration to brief taiwan on the results of that meeting. i am confident they will feel very secure and comfortable in the united states position when it comes to our support for peace and stability across the taiwan straight, and our commitment to the taiwan relations act. which does the commit the united states to ensure we provide articles for thomas defense. the defense report. this has been a long-standing concern of the u.s. and reflected in previous reports. it encompasses -- comes at can significant surprise but

i just how significant of a challenge is this to xi jinping?— is this to xi jinping? to xi jinping? i think it's significant, nancy, _ is this to xi jinping? i think it's significant, nancy, although i is this to xi jinping? i think it's significant, nancy, although it| is this to xi jinping? i think it's i significant, nancy, although it is not yet the movement that looks likely to overturn the system. it is much more of a howl of rage, you might say. we are seeing in each of these places, shanghai, most recently the city of wuhan where most recently the first cases of covid were found, people numbering in their hundreds. but you have to have danger it is for people to protest about anything in china, and certainly to name the leader of the country, xijinping, is a very unusual thing to see. see might see that for every person on the street there may be many others who would like to protest but feel frightened about doing so. so the fact that the numbers aren't huge as they were in hong kong before the crackdown there in 2019, 2020, doesn't mean that there isn't wide

doesn't matter what i think i think xi jinping would have seen that, as weakness, but i can't tell you what our taiwan policy yesterday he said he reiterated our one-china policy, that is not what he has said for the previous six months. he talked about the fact he doesn't want a new cold war with chinese communist party, maria you and i know the chinese communist party has been at war with united states, as an economic at least last 25 years talked about competition to, cooperate i think xi jinping many sense this weakness as much as vladimir putin saw biden as weak advanced to europe i am afraid xi jinping will continue to advance around the world as a result of this meeting discouraging after having 1010 of millions of dollars from china officials tied to ccp per senator ron johnson and chuck grassley reporting, investigating we understand ccp police stations across the world and in new york i am baffle by all this how does flg loi ccp police sayings to operate in america we have our law enforcement he he canceled china initiative so not apparently investigating intellectual propert

no threat to xi jinping. my sense is what happened is he was confused on that stage and they ended up very uncomfortably escorting him away. the way we read it, given xi jinping's total grip on power as it looks much more like a power play. host: just a couple minutes left in our program. scott kennedy of the center for strategic and international studies. marianne is in albuquerque, new mexico. good morning. caller: i may have missed the earliest part of the discussion, but what i have not heard is the calculus in connection with all of these relationships about climate change. host: let's pick it up. guest: sure. the u.s. and china are the world's largest carbon emitters. the u.s. has done a pretty good job in the last decade bending the curve and reducing carbon emissions overall and per capita. the chinese have not. they have used the space to commit that by 2030 there will start sending that curve down. they are still increasing their carbon emissions. at the same time they have also started to develop g

nick: biden, xi jinping and their teams met for 3 hours. es suggested the goal was preventing competition from becoming conflict. pres. xi: the current ste of china-u.s. relations is what we are both concerned about. but such a state does not conform to the fundamental interests of our two countries and peoples. nick: the two sides agreed to restart cabinet-level communication. secretary of state antony blinken will travel to beijing, likely early next year. and special presidential envoy for climate john kerry will coordinate with his counterpart at the ongoing cop27 climate summit. [gunshots] but today did not solve any disagreements. especially over taiwan, months after beijing launched unprecedented drills that surrounded the island. today's chinese readout said xi jinping told president biden the taiwan question is the first red line that must not be crossed, and cross-strait peace and stability and "taiwan independence" are as irreconcilable as water and fire. president biden today reiterated the u.s. opposed unilateral changes to the

president and xi jinping since the beginning of the pandemic other leaders have met with xi jinping this are having an in-person meeting is very important for the bilateral relationship moreover, if they have gone to the g20 and not met or one decided not to go to avoid a meeting, that would have signalled we are on a worse track. >> taiwan is a very touchy subject and one that is likely to be handled with kid gloves. i'm curious, there are other issues that i know were top of mind for the ceos who manage multinational companies. tariffs, zero covid infection policy crushing business in china and leading to more supply chain issues you have issues about chinese access to u.s. technology. do you think there's going to be movement on any of those issues if not now following the bilateral meeting, in the near future >> the near future probably not i think the fact that there is this conversation indicates we may be in a moment where both leaders feel confident in their shoring up of their domestic support and turned the page and starting the process of getting back to the table on these iss

president biden and xi jinping have charted a path to better ties.agreed to a series of goodwill gestures.

xi jinping saying leaders of two major countries. we need to chart our course and leaders and find the right direction for the relationship and elevate it i'm ready to have a candid exchange of views with you, the united states, on issues of strategic importance on china/u.s. relations after the rather friendly handshake between the two leaders, some fairly conciliatory words to kickoff. will it translate into any policy action or any major change in the relationship that remains to be seen. >>> coming up on the show, u.s. democrats have retained the control of the senate. we'll discuss after this break ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com. my name is ashley cortez and i'm the found

xi jinping did remind the u.s. that the number one redline for beijing in this relationship with the united states is sovereignty over taiwan. do not cross it is the essential message xi jinping gave to joe biden. the backdrop of all of these discussions is the war in ukraine and the impact is having on food markets, on global inflation, and generally global stability. dani: we are looking at some of the leaders at the g20 summit, preparing for their family photo. far from a full family, just five folks at the moment. you can see erdogan in the center, and it looks like? would dodo. you see more leaders coming over now as folks are preparing for the family photo. stephen, we have everyone meeting after lunch. i wonder what the communication has been around russia and ukraine. stephen: you were just looking at those photos, they will have a group photo and it is a sticking point with sergei lavrov here as the foreign minister in place of vladimir putin. there was some concern earlier today when sergei lavrov did spe

president and the chinese president xi jinping. interestingly, president biden opened with a message on the election back here at home, saying that the american people proved once again that democracy is who we are. he went on to say later that the election has sent a very strong message that the u.s. is ready to play. perhaps a message not just to a u.s. audience, but world leaders there in china where there is no such democracy. he also did say that the u.s. is not seeking a cold war, does not believe there needs to be a new cold war with china. he says he is not looking for conflict. he also said he does not believe that china plans an imminent attack on taiwan. we are joined now by phil mattingly who is in bali who was there in the press conference with the president as well as cnn correspondent david culver who spent a couple of years inside china as well as matthew goodman senior vp for economics at the centers for strategic international studies. i do want to begin with you, if i can, david, given the length of time you spen

this won't surprise xi jinping. the other hand might give some indication of how drastically u.s. curbs will be put on technology access by china. manus: how much will ukraine -russian come to bear in this discussion? by all accounts, the narrative from the u.s. is shifting. that is for sure. i know a lot of people talk about war fatigue. will that come up? is that as important as taiwan? jonathan: i think taiwan is more important in this particular context of china-america. china is, i would guess, a little perturbed and embarrassed by what has happened in ukraine and it certainly doesn't want putin and whatever putin does in ukraine to leave chinese policy, particularly not its relationship with the united states. dani: domestically we have the unveiling of the 16 point plan to help rescue the property sector. we have seen these huge rallies, some property stocks by 50%. is this a game changer? jonathan: it is a game changer in the sense that having gone through the big party congress last month, where xi really n

what will xi jinping do if the protests don't stop?> certainly this is the exact opposite of the message that xi jinping wants domestically as well as around the world. the last time you and i talked about china on air, it was about hu jintao and how xi jinping was displaying such extraordinary capacity to basically stifle and emasculate the former president of the country. now he has suddenly these demonstrations, some of which are even calling for his ouster. there's no chance he's going to allow that to persist for weeks on end. i think there will be carrot and stick. i think there will be some local officials that will be removed from poor implementation of zero covid. there will probably be loosening in the way that zero covid is actually laid out and policed compared to what we've seen over the past weeks and months. but there's also going to be a clear crackdown against further demonstrations, especially those that have an overt political message to them. i can't imagine that they would allow that to continue. >> some of those c
