we want china to play by the rules abide by international norms in short we want china to behave and making the point in no uncertain terms that the u.s. expects its allies to view things likewise noting in particular chinese telecom giant huawei some european allies the u.k. in particular in talks with huawei to help build their 5 g. networks where the u.s. of course sees huawei as a trojan horse for chinese intelligence well it wasn't long before china had the opposite opportunity here to respond when you the foreign minister saying china will not follow the western model and seek a germany in the world but rather choose a policy of peaceful development working for shared prosperity and he had this very pointed response to those u.s. comments. before i came here my colleagues told me about what the 2 american senior officials said and they have been once again repeating their smears and criticism of china it has become a common scenario they basically say the same thing wherever they go about china and i don't want to waste our time responding to each and everything they've said wh

audience but he was followed by defense secretary esper whose whole talk was pretty much china china china so it's a very different different narrative and the europeans felt that the pump speech wasn't very well received and that it wasn't actually very well written we've seen a decline in democracies throughout the world and that oratory rise in the biggest issue right now for europeans is how they're going to navigate between an authoritarian china and the u.s. also they're worried about russia as we have this difficult narrative and how the u.s. is going to map it out they made it pretty clear at the munich security conference that europe is going to have to choose and this is one thing that europe does not want to have to do will require in london so clearly the u.s. expects the european countries to square off against china focusing in on way this massive tech giant why does it need that to happen. well they focusing in on china because this is the what number one preoccupation of the u.s. and the u.s. president at the moment in foreign policy terms the confrontation with china

or could be when they were transitting from china to the philippines via hong kong they left china on january 21st arrived in the philippines the same day that 2 days before the lockdown. and apparently when they arrived in the philippines they were symptomatic and so that is causing some alarm here in the philippines because they traveled for 4 days in the central region of the philippines and did not get admitted to a hospital until january 25th so we are assuming they got in contact with if not hundreds of thousands of people on the on their flight and on their travels and so again that is causing some alarm here but the health department has assured the public that they are conducting contact tracing again as you mentioned the philippine government already banning travelers from china coming to the philippines not just chinese nationals but any foreigner flying in from china to to philippines except filipino citizens filipino citizens can still fly to the philippines but they will have to be quarantined for 14 days upon arriving in the philippines thank you bonnie below in manila

and china is the number one. objective will start to dig somehow. problem for the united states and as. told to the audience in my alma mater the university is russia will become a part of balancing coalition so i don't understand why the united states is somehow. both china and russia but in my opinion it might cause slightly different effect same as with sanctions on russia for the ukrainian crisis which was according to john. very famous a realistic thinker course on the side of the. on the west not on. i mean you could also throw in these a antagonizing russia and china but mark antagonizing europe is well ok that's that's my point right here here here and this is in this is why i'm doing this program because i think the transatlantic experience is being seriously 10. here because i would make the argument at least 100 trump they are more interested in trade there are interested in europe's energy policy and oh ok you have to buy all these arms because you know they're they're important to american politics b

now, the south china sea. i'm concerned about what -- and let's tau let's talk about suez in just a minute. if you look at what russia has done in syria and now they're talking about barbara down in djibouti. it's pretty obvious russia sin creasi is increasing their tempo in africa. i've been listening to this stuff for a while here and the thing i see beginning to develop is the opportunity that russia and china join together in an area where we are underdeployed and it creates a real strategic challenge for us. russia and china are members of the shanghai cooperative organization, along with india and pakistan. four nuclear powers. but in africa is one of the few places where i can see, other than the arctic, that they have the potential to really come together and create a real headache for us. would you share what russia is doing in your aor and how we should be thinking about it as we look toward the ndaa this next year? >> yes, senator. so i -- we provided some handouts there that kind of lay out graphic

best protect themselves and they bring those skills back to china. yeah it has been difficult and it's getting increasingly difficult emery what do you say in terms of political communication how has the revolution of smartphones and everyone has them now affected the government's communication strategies. well i think the evolution of smartphones has affected the dynamics of political communications on the one hand we see this epidemic is the 1st one being truly televised by people themselves from doctors to you know patients to common residents we really have this kind of sense of participating participating in this crisis everybody is watching it which puts up a lot of pressure on authorities to perform of course but it also can accentuate the performance itself over the years as the government has with a perfect of the performance there's been all kinds of new apps new strategies to develop develop going to attract people into this various official communication or bits you know all sorts of games and messages and all kinds of propaganda techniqu

trade tariffs imposed on goods made in china in the past 20 years china loaned $180000000000.00 to african countries including senegal some of the money's being spent on building john you know joe a new city on the outskirts of the capital where chinese manufacturing companies are setting up operations in general u.s. secretary of state might pump warned against chinese investment in africa. it's tempting to accept easy money from places like try there's a better alternative we all know it and we can all achieve it together western firms american firms operate according to values proven to produce good deals and quality work bumppo is trying to change the perception that the world's leading superpower has no clear strategy for a continent that's home to over a 1000000000 people namby is health system isn't donald trump has shown little interest in africa so far is the 1st president since ronald reagan not to have visited the continent despite strong historic and economic ties compare this with his predecessor barack obama has visited senegal twice and in fact on this road where tens of tho

china has conducted them. pointsmparable to the made earlier about the major city state competition. i want to focus on the fourth area of power projection. the highest power projection capabilities has developed during world war ii and maintained and used in the 75 years since. china is nowhere near developing the scale power projection capability and you cite a couple backasons in your mind, when your commander-in-chief of u.s. pacific command, what would be the specific kinds of capabilities that would grab your attention to suggest that the pla was more interested in conducting this category four level of power projection. >> i would not have anything terribly original there. of amphibious capabilities, lha's that they've just built. chinaexercises within within airborne assault forces and a tremendous thickening of the logistic support. where you have to carry most of it there. and then on the political side i the unitedto -- states really uses we do a big scale overseas interventions we have an ally we c

so let's not try to out-china china. i don't mind that we have fora to discuss how to put our strengths together, but something driven out of washington will not work. our friend bill perry said when he was undersecretary for research and engineering, he testified in the congress in 1978 or 1979, and he was asked what is the future of personal computing. and he said there's no reason for personal computers, right? that was bill perry, one of the most technologically sophisticated people that i know. now, if the need for personal computers had been driven from washington, we might not have had them. [laughter] so let's not try to have a national strategy on things. let's go to our strengths. second point, the openness of our society. i have watched as pressure is growing on universities not to admit chinese students to our frontier laboratories, laces like -- places like standard and mit and texas at austin, harvard -- >> thank you. >> sorry. i mention to mention harvard. that just was oversight. [laughter] but i remember

it's a multinational corporation headquartered in china. you know very well saying you know they made i understand their profits for the 1st quarter of the year just their net profit 1st quarter this year was $200000000.00 and you look at all it's just bulls when you shake yourself they've got the money to fix this what's what's all new everything up. about what's holding everything up and the fact that they don't want to spend that money to fix a problem they'd rather externalized costs that are way treatment on people north carolina. we're going to do this we'll film rule true soon as we go through one country we don't think up everything we see all the wiring. and then if we spot some illegal discharges i will do some special filming on that. but i. think. that's a. little. bit . plain a. massive fungus with huge manila koons extending as far as the eye can see. as a result of these industrial scale farms many local residents feel under siege. we're not anti farmer very excited business in north carolina we're just. about doing it correc

china relations. we are reconfiguring our strategic relationship and reconsidering each other, but we are still incredibly intertwined , economically, commercially, and our people relationships are pretty significant. hopefully we will find a way to address the power dynamics and both reap the benefits of engagement. it seems to be pressuring xi jinping. will this give new leverage to president trump if we get to that phase two trade deal negotiation? anna: unfortunately, we are really not hearing too much about that. everything we are hearing from our sources in the u.s. government and chinese government is that both sides are focused on implementing the phase one agreement. they don't want to talk about the phase two agreement until the phase one agreement is enforced. that can take all year. it's a general election year. i don't expect we will hear too much about the phase two agreement this year. haidi: really appreciate your time, anna ashton, senior director of affairs joining us. concernsad, co

so we will see how china reacts. but definitely china will defer the imports within this year. and just when you might expect tensions between the two economic giants to between the two economic giants to be easing, washington has actually added more charges against a chinese telecoms giant huawei, accusing it of stealing trade secrets for years. samir hussein has more and this was that the us services department says highway and its subsidiaries used inappropriate means to get confidential property from six american technology companies and using that information for its own gain. the justice department says this went on for years and resulted in the company getting details on products, robotics and internet codes. the justice products, robotics and internet codes. thejustice department also charges why wait with further sanctions against the run —— iran and north korea. this is in addition to charges filed last year including fraud and violating us sanctions against iran was that the us currently bans companies from selling to iran, citing security concerns. the uk and ge

well these villages have were already agreed upon the both china and the u.s. simultaneously roll back you know the parents over the course of this year under phase one china is however doing this a lot sooner than expected in part is because they are trying to reduce the cost to importers and make export of goods a lot cheaper in the domestic economy and this is really important as the government is trying to continuously stimulate production in the economy right now and we're also seeing in this is you know there. they're rolling these back to kind of help the economy to help these businesses work in china now i don't know abbie obviously i'm not saying this is going to happen but say you know at the end of the flu season it's like sars it kind of just a radical itself on its own and the krona virus is no longer an issue so maybe let's say by mid may almost when we're done with quarantines and everything how much is going to take for the chinese economy to actually recover after this is going to take a significant effort because that will mean about one and a

china to buy it saw it from brazil. it makes no sense to take these soybeans for a model grocer or put them on a truck and drive 3000 kilometers to a port and travel another 20000 kilometers on board a ship to reach another port in china and then travel another 2000 kilometers by train until they reach a factory farm where the soyuz used to feed chickens. saw is rich in protein and cheap the ideal animal feed for industrial livestock farming around the world. as a result of globalization brazil is destroying its rain forest to grow soybeans. this saw ends up on the other side of the world in chinese pig farms and european ones. china has announced plans to consummate consumption in huff by 2030. not long ago a swine fever outbreak killed vast numbers of pigs in china. but in the long production is likely to rise again. china's rising middle class is unlikely to lose its taste for meat. i think a lot they have a microchip in their ears called an ear tag. now and i mean you know we monitor that are constantly using a comp

and china tension with china calling out the u.s. for inappropriately overreacting to the virus without providing substantial help, pointing at the u.s. was the first to evacuate personnel from wuhan. the u.s. says it has offered top public health officials, but has not received any response from beijing. meantime, you have the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention working to get preparing as the disease could become a pandemic. >> we see policy makers coping with market implications. a gtv chart on the bloomberg showing that huge liquidity injection we saw in the previous section. despite these efforts by chinese mean forhat does it their infamous gdp growth target? >> china is now evaluating whether to soften the economic growth targets for 2020 because before this outbreak, china's domestic economy was already slowly getting weak domestic demand, a crack down on debt, and that trade war with the united states. bloomberg economics was forecasting 4.5% compared to that 6% growth in the final period of 2019. the government

first on china itself. its economy, its politics. >> on the economy, when the stock market opens monday morning in china. i think everybody expects the stocks and commodities will drop. after their gdp is given a week off. so the slowdown in their economy has got to hurt them. i think there is a political controversy going. there is 8 doctors who were whistleblowers on this virus in december. they were put down and even threatened by the local police. they were correct about what was happening. who to blame for this? the chinese media has been blaming local government officials, not president xi. the second thing that's political, china asked everybody nicely, please don't stop travel from coming to china because obviously they need the check business. so president trump did that today. he's thinking about america first. but the chinese criticized him just a few hours ago. usually they praise and admire him. now they called him mean for this travel ban. the chinese foreign ministry spokesman said this. lou:

he says china i was invited by 10 said to write their article after the lead. to try to come to them and figure out what happened and they have no idea there's no black or white agreed to down rules for what kind of information. should be allowed or not be allowed. the initial shortage of oficial information spawned a contagion of conspiracy theories and rumors on everything from causes to cures most of which were spread over we chat multipurpose app with more than a 1000000000 users they included allegations that the virus was created in a biological weapons well that bill gates was somehow involved that it can be cured by drinking bleach misleading messages about how you can prevent. being infected by the current a virus by chewing on broad garlic or taking some kind of say line solution sensors trying to strike a delicate balance between getting rid of this kind of misinformation but at the same time allowing some kind of public discourse to continue social media. messages rumors say. local radical system overwhelmed right hospitals run out of supplies by th
