policy in china. they're frankly very worried because they know that all the death they hold can be completely devalued china china holds over a trillion dollars of this but it could be completely worthless if the us decides to run the printing press as this author mentioned the only way that china could have had any effect on how much debt we run is if us was borrowing in chinese renminbi not in chinese and us dollars but because the debt is all denominated in us dollars the chinese have no ability to enforce. you know better behavior from the u.s. and in terms of trade and other things and so they're very worried because they feel that they have shipped out over truth you know trillions of dollars of goods and services to us and they might be getting absolutely nothing in exchange for nothing that's an interesting point and then let's talk about that issue of trade because though the obama administration has shied away from officially labeling china a currency manipulator g.o.p. hopefuls like mitt r

come from china. earlier this week in iowa, china agreed to buy a record amount of american soybeans. china is already the top market for u.s. agricultural goods. still, the u.s. trade deficit with china has been a persistent economic and political problem for the two nations. president obama met with xi on tuesday. the next day, speaking in milwaukee, he talked tough on trade with china. >> i'm not going to stand by when our competitors don't play by the same rules. it's not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours just because they're getting heavy subsidies from their government. so i directed my administration to create a trade enforcement unit and it's only got one job-- investigating unfair trade practices in countries like china, making sure we've got an even playing field. because when we've got an even playing field, i promise you, nobody is going to out-compete america. >> brown: on the republican campaign trail, china has been a common target. former massachusetts governor mitt

he has little time for china's critics. these are some of the only unguarded comments he has made. >> some have nothing better to do them. fingers at us. we do not cause trouble for them. what else do you want? >> what the communist party wants is to keep the economy going. this is the most business-minded place in china. he made his career running these coastal cities, overseeing the economic engine of the country. exports and growth are slowing. finding ways of giving new impetus to the economy might be his biggest challenge. >> he knows the flaws in our economy. i think he will make more economic reforms. maybe political ones as well to build a strong and prosperous china. >> this is his temple for safeguarding the nation. xi jinping's trip to america will test if he is ready to represent china on the world stage. his task then will be to convince his people to keep faith with the communist party and its rule. bbc news. >> we are in beijing with more on what the chinese vice president hopes to achieve by this five-day vi

china's exports also have been hit, and that would influence the china's economic growth for the whole year. so in a way. it's in china's interest that china contributes to resolving the euro crisis. >> yet it didn't seem any specific pledge was forth coming. i mean, is it possible china will not directly contribute to the economy? >> it's quite possible. if you look at the debate within china, there's quite a strong feeling that the european country should be the main factory in resolving this. and also china has its own economic problems, and it cannot be counted on to save in europe. they simply do not like that kind of phrasing. but like i said it's in china's interest to help. but there's a big question for debate. >> police in thailand say a man they believe to be iranian is reported to have lost both his legs. he was said to have been carrying a bomb that exploded and they went to check a house he was renting. what more do we know? >> what we understand from police in bangkok is there was an explosion in a house rented by three men thought to be iranian in the central city of ba

you could say china and the u.s. are in some ways like an old married couple, per nantly hitched since the early days of their relationship. the two countries have depended on each other. china relies on the u.s. to set up factories and create jobs while the u.s. imports low-priced goods for american consumers and needs china to invest in its massive pool of government debt. just like other long-time relationships, beijing and washington have their marital spats. >> do you ever get in fights? >> every day. >> see, she says the same thing i say. >> a day without a fight is not a normal day. >> i don't fight. she fights. >> reporter: the two nations have quarrelled over everything from trade, china's currency and human rights. and with china growing in power, tempers are flaring over other global issues like the u.s.'s growing security presence in the south china sea. many of these issues will likely still be on the agenda later this year when xi is expected to take office as the next president of china. chinese offici

china is also saying not so fast. bay sing saeijing says europe n sweeten incentives so china will throw more money at the country. this man here, herman van rompuy says he values chinese confidence in europe as well as the bilateral relationship. >> europe and china share a wish to live in a multi-polar world. a world which is united in diversity. where we work together to find global solutions to common problems. the key words for the eu/china relationship is cooperation. not rivalry. that makes this partnership specific. we both wish to live in a world not dominated by one currency alone. and that is why a currency for europe is vital for you, too. >> and rompuy quoted the 17th century english writer who said no man is an island, he's part of the main. as for this man here, european commission president jose manuel barroso, he added that the eu is assuming full responsibility for its own debt problems as it goes cap in hand to china. >> we are taking all the necessary steps to ensure stability of the continents and

-china relationship, assuming he does become president of china. we will be watching how he addresses some of the ongoing problems that we have, whether it is on the trade side of this, our trade relationship or military relationship. we will be watching the words carefully and understand where he stands at this point in time. recognizing that he is not yet the leader. he has to watch his words carefully. host: you both visited china in may. guest: right. april and may. host: tell us about your visit. guest: we were the first members of congress, the first u.s. civilians to allow to be on a submarine. these are a higher class of chinese submarines that are now in the pacific waters. we're obviously very concerned about that, but they were willing to let us on to the submarine and take a tour of it. we visited with the head of the people's liberation army. we are trying to push the door open on this military-to- military relationship. not that the u.s. and china will be allies, but it is important if china is growing, it will affect the pacific and

and china he says should you follow his lead forget america invest in china the world's greatest market maybe follow roger's earlier advice and hot commodities how can how anyone can invest profitably in the world's best market he says don't this is a no win scenario for china the usa the world and you so tell me what do you say to that. i think mr prout should short commodities and should short china it's very simple we don't want to i don't argue with anybody there's no reason to argue all you got to do is write down what he said right so short the commodities sell short china and we will see in five or six years who was right and who was wrong this is not something to argue the market won't tell us what the answer is pretty quickly but so far as you pointed out all of europe is now in china trying to get them to bail them out. china and europe try to get you have to bail them out america's agenda trying to get. bailed the us out can't go mr farrel better read better watch r.g.p. . see who's got the money and who doesn't have the money because so far the chinese individual you know i'

united states export to china look at the real numbers the major exports from united states to china last year was cornered so we beans scrap steel and scrap plastic looks more like a eighteenth century economy what we see in united states the other hand what you see is china exporting their number one export united states is now electronic equipment. manufacturer manufactured look tronics so china story twenty years ago on the low wage low value added in but it's sorry nor is it many american companies are going to get global competitors coming out of china in future yeah you mentioned scrap metal scrap paper yeah if you look at the list of exports from the top twenty states that export to china from the united states number two or number three on the list is always garbage america's excellent exporting its garbage to china like scrap paper for example which of course china recycles into cardboard cardboard boxes and resells back to the united states and has made many many billions of dollars for people over there who are not afraid of doing a day's work of course in america that's

the united states has is responding to china in two ways one it's trying to reduce china's independent access to oil and the united states is responding to china also with increased military presence the united states says that the south china sea is an area of national interest to the united states their course that doesn't make any sense it's like china saying the gulf of mexico is an area of national interest to china so the united states is asserting that chinese territorial wars aren't a matter of national interest to washington so i think these types of. militaristic statements. encourage china to build up its military and so the americans to sensibly maybe trying to start another arms race. well you can log onto our website anytime you buy for the latest news and videos that's our t.v. dot com here's a look at what's just a click away for you right now bug area is now in the six nations to stall progress of the international copyright protection agreement or act sponsored by washington find out why more and more governments are choosing to take or you turn on restrictions. and t

to tel aviv of course israel china has very good relations resume has it was right but china has also good relations we around saw china. a power broker in the middle east yes you mention the middle east there what about syria that i mean china has strongly opposed foreign interference there but now that the west seems to have taken a somewhat softer starts i suppose or syria at the u.n. could we see china support a new resolution. this is a little bit early to do del because things are on going on but again you know you really see china. going through dialogue. to try a constructive role in the in the region but i think that china in any case we all sort of for the month off and on in different in this part of the world i think china is using a kind of subtle power we should transcend hard and soft power and but in any case it is not in the interest of china to see instability in the middle east so again china and we have a constructive role and of course. hoping china will make a concrete pledge to invest in the euro bailout fund all the problems they've been having is that likely.

there's a sense in china. and so commands of china by the united states rhino and. the united states in asia pacific so are trying to do some balancing out of this one of the many important members that china wish to engage. so this kind of a cold war mentality existing in the ocean it's need as expression it is realistic diplomacy and research is so sure that. in this world. yes and he mentioned that twice. rather do you expect china to become more vocal on the international stage as its economic power surges while that of the e.u. and the us wanes and we can. it is not because they are trying to do such a present because china is also witnessing its own leadership change and is probably would have another round of diplomatic shipped so a president is not the right time for china to do anything in a very dramatic and just check manner however. increasing volleys within china that china should play a more important role in the global issues but the liberal voice of the live in that is not up to the standard and we should still focusing on which is doable is on devel

china should also help europe if it can. when europe does well, so does china. >> it is a point the chinese leadership is well aware of. china needs to europe to sell its products to and to invest in. it has already brought -- bought up european government debt. how much is a closely guarded secret. >> there is a strategic necessity for sure. they want to diversify their $3.20 trillion in foreign- exchange reserves away from the united states, and they look at that -- for that through the european union, but they want to have very clear and firm guarantees that ultimately, these investments are going to pay off and that they will see their money back. >> late last year, china's biggest state-owned hydroelectric power company bought into the portuguese market to the tune of 2.7 billion euros. it was taken as a sign that china would rather invest in european companies then the debt of its government. china wants to become the biggest player in the renewable energy market. chinese companies have been taking stakes in european p

he has a new book on china coming out this may, "china airborne." and roderick is a professor at harvard university. he's written more than a dozen books on china. jim, you were at the lunch for xi jinping. people who meet him say that he strikes you immediately as a different kind of chinese leader. warmer, more personable. did you feel that way? >> it's hard to judge, of course, seeing a person in a ceremonial event like that, but certainly i have seen hu jintao in a similar setting and hu jintao seemed a more stolid expressionless character. mr. xi was talking about his adventures in iowa, what that meant to him. what was striking is that just before he spoke, vice president biden gave what was a very, very tough toast by the standards of these kind of events talking about currency valuation, human rights, and all the rest. so that made for a different sort of diplomatic encounter than normal. >> people who were there tell me it seemed almost rude what biden did in the context of a ceremonial state occasion. one of the observers said we seemed li

china china is going to invest more than one trillion you where it's outside of china in the coming decade in europe needs. investment ok we have to leave it there david gossett of the china europe international business school in shanghai thank you for joining us thank you. it's a question of identity versus integration shari'a islamic group in belgium is under fire for views which local people say are too extreme and which other leg.

-china relationship. the latest conflict: china's veto ten days ago of a u.n. security resolution condemning the violence in syria. the chinese have also objected to president obama's pledge to shift america's military focus to the pacific. she addressed that point in a carefully worded statement in sunday's "washington post." we welcome a constructive role by the united states in promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the region, he wrote. we also hope that the united states will fully respect and accommodate the major interests and legitimate concerns of asia pacific countries. china's rising economic power has become part of the u.s. presidential campaign as well. as republicans have criticized the u.s. debt imbalance and debated building projects like the keystone oil pipeline to support allies like canada. >> i'll approach every spending decision with these questions: can we afford it? if not, is it really worth borrowing money from china to pay for it? >> the idea of an american president making it easier for canada to partner with china than with t

the united states has is responding to china in two ways one it's trying to reduce china's independent access to oil and ran accounts for twenty percent of jones oil so it doesn't make a lot of sense for washington to go to china and say. embargo yourself from iranian oil and. go to an american puppet in office in that country as well so we can prevent your. economic development from catching up to us too quickly and the united states is responding to china also with increased military presence united states says that the south china sea is an area of national interests to the united states and course that doesn't make any sense it's like china saying the gulf of mexico is an area of national interest to china so i think these types of. militaristic statements. encourage china to build up its military and so the americans sensibly may be trying to start another arms race. but european hopes of a last minute chinese financial rescue are fading fast after top e.u. officials visiting china fell to convince the asian giant to commit any of its vast cast reserves to help stabilize you're up

which means united states roughly you know more than twice as large as china but china makes ten times the amount of steel three times as many vehicles they purchase they consume twice as much beer they export three times as much as many high tech exports as the united states does. three times as much cotton five times as much coal other lists go on and on the so the cell phone markets three times as large so i just wondered how you know if we get duct print. money in government transfer payments what would the g.d.p. of the united states really be you know i think that's really a bubble that nobody sees is there the american g.d.p. is a complete fabrication and i'd also highlight the manufacturing numbers you know many people including academics high level policymakers united states they will tell you well we don't need to worry united states is still the largest manufacturing economy you know the federal reserve has admitted they don't break up the value add in those numbers so you know you know this is nine million people working in manufacturing i can drive within an hour of where

so they start to oppose democracy in china. and every time when i see him in prison, he always told me, i'm not wrong. actually, if he promise he will not continue to write get out, maybe the government will release him faster. but he always say no. i'm not wrong. yeah. >> thank you. out of love, is based on a faith-based conviction, which is an enormous motivator and i thank you for sharing it. it is the why of it, even electric have lech walesa, it was his faith. we know there are people of facht in china who paying a very significant price. let me ask a couple of questions before yielding to my colleague. and into mr. wolf. in your testimony ms. geng, you make the statement that it's no small irony that while you're speaking here on capitol hill, chinese vice president xi jinping is just up pennsylvania avenue meeting with president obama at the white house. you did point out with your disappointment that you believe that your husband's plight has been downplayed by the white house. i would say for the record, i want this ve

. >> a big eu-china summit in beijing. lifetime achievement award at the berlin film festival. ♪ >> what can the world to to end the violence in syria? the latest plan from the arab league calls for a joint peacekeeping mission with the u.n. >> but the chances of that being a reality look slim. u.s. officials said it will consider the idea, but they doubt it would get through the u.n. security council. >> that is the problem, according to the u.n. human rights chief. she says the council's failure to take any action against syria is giving it time to attack its own people. >> the assad regime pressing ahead with its bombardment of the rebel stronghold of homs. footage making it onto the internet. the head of the year of league has been in berlin for talks with angela merkel on the way ahead. general secretary of the arab league are in broad agreement about the way ahead on syria. the league is adopting a tough stance against the assad regime and has proposed sending a peacekeeping mission, including u.n. troops come to s

it's china. we had a record $295 billion trade deficit with china and i will say this, it's not because china can do it any better. there are massive state subsi subsidies, currency manipulation as peter navarro mentioned and not a level playing. alan hamilton did a survey 94% of american manufacturing is globally cost effective. our policies have looked towards outsourcing. other countries fight for these jobs and for a reason, it adds a lot of value to the economy. >> i want to slow you down, you are making interesting points but i want to make sure the viewer understands what you're talking about. because the general thinking is that if you take technology and productivity gains out of the equation, the reason we send jobs to places like china, use china as the poster child for this, because workers earn substantially less money per hour or per day than american workers do. peter navarro started making this point and you're making it again, substantially more than that. do you think if we addr
