i mean china is important but china is not that important also and we have to remember that. together in the wake of the tsunami so what the set of issues that we see that all countries are talking about are essentially public goods the provision of public goods provision of backseats if you get up to date issue and so security issues and so on so there is a lack of the provision of these public goods and i think it's that it's a good thing that beautiful country landed stand limitations and have decided to work together yes it's true you know they have sort of dance floor are a sort of drop the last several times in the past but i think now will turn level of convergence between these 4 countries or among these 4 countries on multiple issues is now sustained and sustainable what do you make of the fact that a joint statement was quite blunt when it came to the issue of maritime security. it spelled out that it's collaborating collaboration including in maritime security is to meet challenges to the rules based maritime order in the east and south china seas what's the messag

accusations a cyber attacks by china spreading disinformation about china's covert 19 aphids and the 2018 foreign interference laws targeting china in the absence of evidence it's a bit ironic every time anyone suggests that there should be chinese within china they complying with your want to do fear with chinese internet it's the 14 points people talk about as coercive as an act of bullying what's wrong i can see what's wrong that is actually a kind of like a free candid exchange of all of us i think we did a little less holes for talk about being bullied by china we have interests to defend protect and we are doing it i believe but we need to be smarter in other places. covert travel restrictions have confined raby to a stray year for the past year normally based in beijing he's on the board of china controlled this trading company un called. it also being here. to china banda strain in cold following the straining government school for an investigation into covert 19 in april last year now ships are sitting off ports in china likely in cool piece and i will try to occur cold. mor

china has overplayed their hand. they not only sanctioned european leaders, they also sanctioned the political and security committee, which is made up of 27 eu ambassadors and their families are included, and they sanctioned an entire german think tank. they want discourse power, they want to say we don't like what you say about china, so we are going to sanction an academic institution. in addition to that, they sanctioned the head of a swedish think tank. i think they misunderstood your very much, because when you attack people who want independent academic inquiry to what is happening in china, but you have politicians who are asking what is happening, and when you sanction them, this badly backfired. there attacking freedom of speech and basic rule of law, and the very roots of democracy. anchor: speaking of sanctions, there are sanctions on china, and there are sanctions on iran. how much of this deal can actually be implemented with the sanctions limiting how much business chinese companies can conduct in iran

it's not going down that route that it's going to compete with china and what are you hearing from china in terms of whether they think it will remain as confrontational as it apparently was courage will will there in fact be more trade war more trade conflict essentially more of the trump approach i think china . and especially because of the. diplomacy that it whole ready has been trying to do since 17 it has increasingly been harsh on other neighbors when like when they were attacked and they have tried to. like to try to show. the chinese people that tried the china is now strong that it can compete with the west and neighbors and i think china is going down that route that it's focusing much more on the domestic market that it's. driving itself away from corporation with the west but try to look into the domestic market how can how can. people from the chinese people think in like about china it's much more important for them to himself has repeatedly said that there are certain topics and areas on which the u.s. must cooperate with russia and china be it arms control climate change

policy towards china. it began in 2018 and remarks at the former vice president mike pence made at this institution. in that speech which marks a turn towards a much more hawkish and asserted u.s. policy towards china, pence pointed to the case of the chinese port and south sri lanka. he said if you want an example of how chinese lending or non- practices are coercive and destructive to partner recipient countries you can look no further than sri lanka. it took out more death than it could afford. it could not pay for itself and ultimately had to hand it back over to china anna release. the problem is i had already begun research about a year before the handover as a peer action i had been given and was doing research on the ground interviewing local officials, residents and so forth. in order to ask some of the same questions of local people, but also across the political spectrum. what i found surprised me. i think it is very significant not only for u.s. policy toward south asia, but how we see broader

that's not always the intent of china. the biden administration as i understand it's hard to invest in a fundamentals here at home, our people, human capitol and infrastructure economy and political institutions. as a long term that is by the way my point is the immediate term on that but this going to be important for long-term competition will be to have more joy to policy responses or whole government response is a quick was to appoint someone like kirk campbell, extremely able of this at the white house lisa any of the top in the white house is over saying how to pull the threads of policy together and is important and 70 also knows how to work with allies and partners. because clearly these are efforts that will take to handle money in any cases. because they have the need infrastructure development in major investment in southeast asia. for example. not just southeast asia but also going to have to focus on allies and partners coming up that are going to govern the rest of the century as we deal with revolutions and

that china, too, can innovated, and so it was this kind of -- -- the foundation for how china's -- a competitor to western modes 0 innovation and story we feel much more -- hear much more often today. the book, the reason for the book started ten years ago when you listened to stories but china today, started out my research, so narrative that has more recently morphed -- that we see more recently in this sort of space of tech innovation in china is we are witnessing the new tech cold war between the u.s. and china and what this shows in part is a revamping of earlier narratives of china as a threat, but what i show in the book it's really kind of a prehistory to this moment of china -- hough tide china become seen as this new innovation hub that might be a competitor or a threat to the western approach of innovation. >> so i think in the book you talk about the technooptimism in the maker movement and breaking through of the technological, economic, labor structures that would otherwise have potentially oppressed them. so, what are the structures in the chinese context that people w

between china and iran it's a cheap political shift you i agree with. with the. my colleague from iran. they're looking east how long that will happen i don't know but the reality is that the money is moving east oil energy is being used in asia far greater levels united states is in essence pretty much. himself supplying as long as the price of oil is above $45.00 and they can use fracking europe is another matter they're somewhere in between but yes this does give iran breathing room hopefully will not be an excuse to continue with nuclear capabilities that is not good for anybody but there has to be a very clear and open stance on this thing the fact it's the worst kept secret in the world that israel has nukes. and is willing to use in the case that they are overrun so i mean at this point it really if there is going to be a do nuclear station if i around china us are going to start cooperating along with russia or in europe there has to be some absolute clarity here and stop with this kind of narrative that you know you're doing this in their prime respondin

. >> one has to recognize that china is not going anywhere, china is always going to be there and china will continue to grow it is a major force that we have to reckon with, i believe the best approach frankly seems to be pursuing will reassess all the relationships that we do have we china trade policies, the trade tariffs for example, after the all the sanctions, the united states has a plethora of sanctions on comedies and people all around the world and may have been directed at china and most of them probably are not very effective, they don't cause a change in behavior that their intended to and frankly hurt the people in that country more than they hurt americans. there's going to be a big evaluation a comprehensive look at sanctions to figure out which ones work, which ones don't work and then i think a fine president biden utilizing to show that we can stand up with china, you made a very good point about allies, it is clear during the last four years the united states pursued america first and pretended to be too much going our own way and that created a big vacuum that enabl

china we bought refrigerators made in china we bought all that stuff made in china and instead we could've just poured it into building stuff here locally right well what made the 20th century america centuries that america had something to prove to have kind of a chip on its shoulder there was got an inferiority complex compared to the european refined cultures and so it really put the shoulder to the wheel and built this magnificent economy and had glow. influence but by the 21st century america is exhausted it's just tired and it doesn't have anything to prove anymore but china after being on the margins for so long does have something to prove and they do have the capacity and they are putting shoulder to the wheel and they are worked at it well you need infrastructure to compete the american elite don't feel like we need to compete because they they merican the elites and exclusively print money they can print money for themselves and well we could also send in the air force wherever we want or the navy or the marines and just go take your stuff well out south i mean that's what they

they can criticize china heavily on some issues where they feel china's role is negative, but they can also work closely with china on issues where there is agreement. the number one of those is climate change, which china signed up for the paris climate deal. the u.s. pulled out of it under trump but has now come back into compliance. there are important regional issues where they feel they can work closely together. afghanistan, china is a neighbor of afghanistan. myanmar, after the coup, the u.s. knows china is the country that has the most power to change the views of the generals. they would like to craft a new relationship where they can put aside the issues where they do not agree and very publicly disagree, but at the same time work together on other issues. it all depends on these meetings taking place over the next few hours. >> the u.s. and china, obviously, the two biggest economies. we have seen china grow, not just as a regional power but a power that increasingly has global influence. the u.s., we are even seeing it with the vaccine program, the chinese vexing going to m

china trade tensions because semiconductors are one of the key u.s. exports to china. and i think it just shows you how much momentum there is right now in this push by both sides to achieve a greater degree of self-reliance on technology. it's coming from the u.s., where you see the u.s. turning to a more active industrial policy. so, decoupling can oversimplify it, but certainly these pressures for fragmentation of the u.s. and chinese tech ecosystems, i think a really baked into policies in washington and beijing right now. rishaad: michael, i just want to dial back to hong kong. how far does china want to subsume the territory in its entirety, legally speaking, it's every -- etc.? because ultimately, they want the territory to still have financial stability, still have the hong kong dollar, still perhaps have the sense of illegal system, which is different. in other words, to be able to be able to have their cake and eat it too. how far can they push it? michael: i think you're right. the goal is mainly on the political side. there are, in terms of actual letter of
