you are chinese, you are always chinese and all of the chinese over the world have an obligation to achieve the great chinese nation combined with an increase in funding of the organizations , that have raised some of these concerns, and has the playing out of these methods within some of the smaller countries, including the five eyes. when you look back at 2018, it has become a feature of the chinese relationship with a number of nations, the concern of communist party influence within communities and institutions abroad. i see this as promoting constructive vigilance. that is a major concern of american universities and colleges. an old concern.\ it has long historical roots and it was overblown in the 19 50's when there was a great deal of influence. my concern with some of the language in the report is that it conflates three groups of people, chinese people living in the united states in diaspora, with ethnic chinese of american be recenty, who may immigrants, in the language could include anybody who has any ethnic chinese heritage within the united states. great report also g

statements that say what your chinese are always chinese. all chinese all over the world, combined with an increase in funding for the organizations within china, including but not limited to the united front that have raised some of these concerns, as have thein plank ot of those methods in smaller, less powerful countries, including within the five eyes, new zealand and australia in particular but also the uk and candidate. this i think if we look back at 2018, it has become a feature of china's relationship with a number of nations, this new concerns about chinese communist party influence within communities and institutions abroad. i seeoa these reports have been mostly about in the subset of the report remotely constructive vigilance, which is a major concern of american universities and colleges. but the danger of it being overblown is clear. >> it's also an old concern. it's something that's long historical roots and it was overblown in the 1950s when there was a great deal of concern about chinese influence and chinese american commu

institutions who are compensating chinese firms using chinese materials and chinese workers who are being back into the chinese economy. according to a study by csi s, chinese firms use 89% chinese contractors and only 7.6% local contractors. that's in contrast to the multilateral development banks and traditional use closer to 40% local contractors. there are certainly questions about the financial sustainability and the risk of debt distress. countries participating in that the ri. his of 270 bri projects that they are tracking across the globe, 32% of them are now on hold for financial problems. i think pakistan presents an interesting case. the china pakistan economic corridor is, by some accounts, the largest bri project on the books. as much as 62 or $63 billion has been pledged by china in this economic corridor. pakistan's external payments next year will surge by 65%. tom $7.7 billion annually $12.7 billion. meanwhile, the foreign exchange reserves over the last two years have fallen 40% from $16.1 billion to $10 billion. that is unsustainable. china's own tax administratio

in one case, a chinese -- in one case, chinese authorities have threatened the family members of radio free asia, news journalists, should they continue to report on the activities inside of china. and finally, china's government has protected other governments accused of significant human rights violations. china is working through the united nations security council to protect the government in burma from international condemnation for its assault on the rohingya. it is weakening international efforts to pressure the hunsen regime in cambodia from giving -- by giving financial loans. it is getting credit to venezuela as the world is trying maduro, and it is noticeably silent on president duterte's drug war in the philippines as it strengthens the economic and security partnership with manila. such policies undeine -- undermine established human rights standards individually and they challenge individual freedoms and liberties, the majority that the world holds dear. we must engage with our chinese counterparts had out -- counterparts head-on about our concerns and work to establish a

he is an expert on the chinese military and chinese cyber issues. gentlemen, welcome. mr. cheng, would you like to go first? >> sure. good morning. senator kennedy, ranking member feinstein, senators, my name is dean cheng i'm the senior research fellow at the heritage foundation. my comments this morning are my own. my comments this morning are intended to provide some context for better understanding than nontraditional chinese approach to espionage both in terms of information gathering and also influencing foreign audiences. chinese espionage is important to note is nontraditional not only in terms of method but also in terms of the targets. and this nontraditional aspect is rooted in the very different context based on china'sview of its own national security. this is rooted in several key points. the first is comprehensive national power, so-called wheel of doom displayed for the previous panel. the desire to catch up with the west to ensure there is no repeat of the so-called center of humiliation and the extensive research of the china communist party throughout ch

the chinese promptly leaked this . the american side somehow had the chinese 10 points and made them public. bloomberg ran the whole thing. online you could google the negotiating positions in the list would come up. the phase we are in now is more confidential. there has not been any significant leak of the three-our dinner. host: roger in virginia, democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. my question, you're talking about the deficit -- can you hear me? host: yes. caller: donald trump was part of the trade deficit. guest: how so? caller: look at the jobs he has in china. why not bring some of that back and do away with some of that deficit? host: let's talk about that. guest: i don't think there is a trump hotel in china. host: trump ties being made in china. things made in china. guest: his critics have pointed out when you go into trump tower there is a gift shop to buy souvenirs. you turn them over and of this tie is made in china. products like that are more efficient and inexpensive to manufacture. that is

to push back on chinese. technology mercantile the stealing i.p.r. steel and so on over the. i think obviously using it as leverage in these trade talks but i do think that you have two very large the two largest economies in the world very intertwined in ways that you have some people in the troubled ministration that are very anti china that want to an economic divorce. i would note that. in a rare occasion jumpers actually appoint somebody to be in charge of. the u.s. t.r. life nicer and because all of his advisors have different the latter has or says he wants more tariffs again china and richard says that trade war should be evaded and then you have peter navarro who is a trade advisor he says that be careful how deal so ultimately who decides what to do well as i say that i think that's why they appointed a light hisor i think for the chinese it's been very troubling because historically our china policy there's been somebody in charge so the chinese know who to go to for example in the bush administration there was treasury secretary paulson and we had a pretty good wa

the chinese like to think that because chinese interests and chinese views are so much more important with respect to taiwan that therefore, they can bluff the americans down in a confrontation over taiwan because our interests are less compelling than theirs. i think that's a very dangerous way of thinking about the issue. finally, i think that the new crop of china hands who are emerging are very, very capable and i look forward to reading their memoirs at some point. [ applause ] >> robert, you have one more point to make? >> in the interest of balance, this question about misunderstandings, i'm afraid that we just in the past year have a new misunderstanding on the american side. we are speaking increasingly as if every aspect of china's rise is and always has been nefariously aimed at united states interests and this isn't true. china's rise in the main is about chinese flourishing and we also seem to increasingly have the idea that we can and should somehow staunch china's continued flourishing and i would want to balance what you said about the chinese side. i think that's prob

in some cases these deals are a one-way street with large sums of chinese debt or complicating chinese materials and workers to cycle back into the economy according to one study chinese firms 89 percent chinese contractors only seven.6 percent local contractors that's in contrast with multilateral development banks that we use closer to 40 percent global contractors. certainly there are questions of the financial sustainability and that distress for those that are participating according to the advisory of 270 bri projects they are tracking, 32 percent are on hold for financial problems. pakistan presented an interesting case by some accounts it is the largest bri project as much as 62 or $63 billion have been pledged by china and the pakistan economic corridor external debt payments that year will surge buys 65 percent seven.$7 billion annually up a 12.$7 billion and while the foreign exchange reserves have fallen 40 percent that is unsustainable. china zone administration warned pakistan's capacity to repay the debt is extremely low with a return on chinese investment is very low an

jinping,vation, xi once chinese, always chinese, all chinese have an obligation, and so on, but it is contradictory to what was created for chinese policy and law to get china an invitation to the conference in 1955. speaking personally, if i have to juxtapose the strategist against xi jinping as a strategist, i will take him. but that is a quick aside. you asked for a pessimistic or worst-case scenarios. i heard almost nothing about the south china sea, and i, and i suspect everyone on this panel, could very easily to a scenario in which a true naval war emerges even inadvertently in the south china sea within the next three hours. it could happen at any moment, and if you're sitting at pacific command in honolulu you have multiple scenarios you are working through for precisely that development. so i simply note -- i guess the question i would pose is can we imagine a real military conflict in the south china sea somehow be an managed and contained within a broader trajectory of the u.s.-chinese engagement? >> thank you. vincent, would you like to take that? -- would you like to tak

looking at chinese policies and influences. these challenges are not insurmountable but they require a thoughtful study and close attention. around the world all countries including the united states rely on the rules-based international order to underpin security and prosperity. to help provide a level playing field. the maximum opportunity for the greatest number of people and to defend and protect certain fundamental rights so it is of the upmost importance that we do everything in our power to insure that this system remains. our first hearing focused on economic policies of the chinese government effort that ran counter to these tenets. the subsequent hearing explored china's military and expansion and its implications for the security interests of america and our allies and the fundamental peace and stability of the indo-pacific. today's hearing seeks to capture developments in chinese domestic policy that could have broad implications. on the way people are treated around the world. what has made american foreign policy

i'm beginning to understand why chinese tomatoes are replacing those from france and why chinese workers are edging out european ones. but whose idea was it that china should become a leading tomato producer china is one of the few countries where people don't eat a mountain source it's a paradox i went to beijing in search of some answers. in that fluent suburb i met again with you you'll be the investor who bought the french look about norm brand. he's one of the main players in the chinese tomato industry locally he's known as general you this is the first time he's agreed to be interviewed before a foreign camera crew. the majority was actually. you that was intuition. that great treasure after studying the global tomato industry. i propose that china should become a major production base in the world should your friend your jolly good. to date china is the world's second largest tomato producer the country's market leader is the acme food giant coffee good tune playgroups. the factories assistant director takes me on a tour. five thousand tonnes of fresh tomatoes are delivered here
