to help people study xi jinping thought. that's right, study what he thinks about everything. >> xi jinping sayings, his speeches, his activities and party dogma and then take quizzes. and they have to report those quizes to the local party head in the work unit. >> there's even a game show. "how much do you know about xi jinping thought?" much of xi jinping thought is communist ideology and the central role he believes it should play in chinese life. but there lies a central conflict. he is preaching strict adherence to socialism in a country where capitalism has been exploding for decades. >> socialist economy that was also one of the most ravenous consumers of luxury goods, things like lamborghinis and ferraris and rolexs and louis vuitton. >> the rich have been getting richer and in some cases more decadent. there's a school for butlers and a finishing school for children of the rich. young chinese billionaires often behave as badly as their counterparts around the world. >> translator: it's like raising a child. i have

jinping about its origins and how it leaked from that lab. we traveled to palm beach, florida, this weekend to catch up with president trump, and i asked him about the virus. >> i think the origins are so obvious. they came out of the wuhan lab, and i think if anybody thinks anything differently, they're just kidding themselves. so you can ask -- china hasn't paid. they have to do something. they have to pay reparations. and china doesn't have the money to pay those reparations. i believe that worldwide -- i'm not just talking united states, worldwide -- $60 trillion of damage. 60 trillion. china doesn't have $60 trillion. but they have to do something to make up for what they've done. what they've done to the world is so horrible. it's been horrible. all over the world. and it doesn't stop. remember, biden was going to do a wonderful job on covid, right? he was going to do a wonderful job. he's done a horrible job. look at what's gone on. today we set a record on cases, a record. this was supposed to be a -- this would have been gone. and on

there are pictures of xi jinping all over. this poster addressing the firefighting community. at the heart of this is the chinese communist party. but at the center of the party, it's this man, xi jinping. 2021 saw merge steps to further consolidate power. in an early november meeting of china's ruling elite, the 400 or so top party officials passed an almost unprecedented resolution, highlighting the role of its current leader and china's president, xi jinping, on the triumphant rise on the global stage. >> he wants to really highlight his own contribution to be development of the party. that also will seal his legitimate rule over china in the foreseeable future. and, of course, no one would challenge his power within the party. >> inside national museums like this one, president xi jinping had elevated himself to be on par with past paramount leaders like dung sha-ping. >> china has become the biggest economy in the world second to the u.s. it has lifted millions of people out of poverty. >> in china's capital, you feel a rush of energy. a lot of activity. at times it feels

what do you expect out of the summit between putin and xi jinping? >> first of all, this is a nightmare scenario to see the countries continuing to collaborate more and more especially in the military domain and as you mentioned both countries opposed president biden's democracy summit. in fact, the chinese ambassador and the russian ambassador co-authored a piece together opposing the democracy summit. so china is the bigger brother in this relationship. russia is the younger brother always trying to collaborate more with china, china plays it cool. so any time that you see these two in the room having conversations, it's concerning and, again, in the context of their continued military cooperation, so who knows what's going to come out of it but the fact that they're demonstrating this increase in closeness, it's something that the united states has to keep an eye on. of course, it's hard enough dealing just with china, just with russia but the two of them together would be a nightmare scenario for the united states. maria: well, it's unbelievable

xi jinping has promised one billion doses of the covid-19 chinese made vaccine to the continent. obviously, a welcome donation, but it comes in the context of the world health organization promising covax, that africa would be looked after, yet western countries did nothing, did very little. we have reported for 18 months they have done something but not enough for mutations to appear. china, again, helping out as much as it can. where do you stand on this? do you see this as a medical bribery of any waste, shape, or form? >> it is an extension of geopolitics. tthe russian alliance and the transatlantic alliance. i think there was a little bit from the united states to blame china as a source of covid-19. it has worked sit -- worked its way into the hearts and minds of the developing world. this means to pay attention to the soft power aspects of china. he has done excellently, despite the propaganda shared in the human rights violations. it will go a very long way, the west has largely not been as grateful and especially europe. the united states has been trying, but first, it i

maria: -- to xi jinping. why do you think that is? >> because he's afraid of them. and i think he's afraid of the fact that they gave billions of dollars to his son -- more more so they have something on him. >> of course they do. they gave billions of dollars. i ask friends of yours, the biggest people there are in terms of wall street, can you go into china and walk away with a billion and a half dollars? these are people that you interview once a month, okay? the real, the real people on wall street, the smartest guys, the guys with the big companies that run the big companies, wall street firms. they said nobody does that. nobody. most sophisticated guy on wall street can't walk in and walk out in ten minutes with $1.5 billion. walked out -- and tens of millions of dollars. maria: why do you think our adversaries are doing all of this now? you've got a buildup of troops at the ukraine border -- >> none of this happened with me. you didn't have bombers flying over taiwan -- maria: why are they doing it now? >> you didn't is i have any threat of anything meaningfu

xi jinping and vladimir putin reinforced at that point in a virtual summit on wednesday. they pledged to cooperate on trade and security and to respect each other's interests. >> a virtual summit and show of solidarity, the president of china and russia spoke for more than an hour on wednesday, hailing their close ties. >> the world has entered unprecedented changes with the pandemic in the last century. china-russia relations have withstood the test. >> historical traditions of a mutual understanding have allowed us to take our relations to the next novel. reporter: trade between china and russia exceeded $115 billion this year, a new high. the leaders pledged to increase cooperation on energy. beijing already relies on moscow for much of its minerals and natural gas. plans are underway for nuclear power stations. they are coordinating on efforts to further space exploration and scientific innovation. chinese analysts say the relationship is stronger than it has ever been. >> the two countries support each other in their core interests. when it comes to china's core inte

fashioning hong kong's leader, carrie lam, as a puppet of xi jinping, badiucao melded their faces. last month, in northern italy, a center of art, that combined image greeted visitors, as badiucao held his first major solo exhibition in the city of brescia. it almost didn't happen. at the last minute, china tried to flex its muscle. >> badiucao: they're actually writing threatening letters. it's like a blackmailing, you know? "if you do badiucao's show, then maybe in the future our collaboration will be problematic." >> wertheim: specifically, the chinese embassy in rome demanded the show be cancelled because the exhibition was "full of anti-chinese lies;" would" seriously wound the feelings of the chinese people;" and posed" a threat to friendly relations between china and italy." the italian authorities held firm, and the show went on. there was a nod to what badiucao sees as xi's willfully slow response to covid, and he paid homage to the uighur minority that china has imprisoned. to what extent are you representing the people that can't express themselves inside china? >> badiu

>> well, it's an interesting situation because xi jinping the chinese ruler would face extreme risk in an invasion of taiwan. if it goes badly, if taiwan doesn't fold rapidly, that could spend the end of xi's power rather abruptly. i have question for you. there's some report out that the chinese are working on machine brain technology out of research institutes, hopefully this is not an institute that received a grant from anthony fauci. but the british tabloid press has sort of shortened this to mind control technology. i'm curious what you make of the it apparently it was echoed by a u.s. official from the commerce

i think there is a real concern about xi jinping moving from authoritarianism to totalitarianism. there's a lot of concern about human rights, understandably so, and even though the summit you saw between president biden and president she -- president xi a floor under things, they want to make sure we have guardrails and are talking about the most important issues and that things are going to get better and we will go back to business as usual. i think that's highly unlikely. emily: we saw the u.s. government say they won't send any official representation to the u.s. olympics and also the controversy around the tennis star who accused a communist party official of sexual assault, who has disappeared. the women's tennis association based in the united states has suspended all games in china. where is this going? anja: on the human rights front, i'm quite worried. the crackdown continues. it is kind of an amazing story because it was so public and so international, but people disappear in china with regular frequency. we don't hear about it. one of the senior editors of one of the

yesterday, xi jinping has been more cheerful. he has a different ideology, and antidemocratic ideology. it is a more successful system than the russian system has to offer now. but, they are united in their response to the liberal democratic world and yesterday was a deep powerful response to say, yes, we understand that this is an ideological competition and we are ideologically aligned in this competition. david: a brief follow-up, michael. do you think we are making them nervous by stressing democracy? michael: they would be nervous whether you stress it or not. that is a great question. i am writing a book now about lessons from the cold war for how to deal with china and russia. i think there is a really important lesson. david, you and i could sit here at stanford in the faculty lounge and say, it would be better if we were just more realpolitik about what we will do abroad and not talk about democracy and just forget about it. i want to be clear that we need to manage this ideological contest and -- in ways we did not mana

i think thanks to xi jinping pressure, xi jinping may grow to regret amount of threats and bomber and jet fighter flights around taiwan the last year. if there is a very forceful u.s. response. where our military said we have to be on the island, do exercises with them. and that is considered a nuclear deployment there. it would be embarrassing, a huge setback are in xi jinping, his hawkish aggressive behavior results in a major push back from u.s. and allies, i would advise xi jinpingen to push the americans too far. mark: i want to ask you, is the biden administration forcing the tough trade deals that president trump put in place again china? >> no, they are not. the good news is president biden's replacement for bob lighthizer, shes had said in a press conference, long awaited pris conference this biden administration accepts the entire trump administration approach. the phase one. trade deal document is 95 pages long. it has enforcement mechanisms it was a huge success by president trump. but the biden team also pointed out that china is not meeting the quotas they promised. the

putin is standing in support of xi jinping. he's told him that he's looking forward to being at the games and meeting with xi jinping face to face. >> all right. important meeting with the u.s. at the top of the agenda. thank you so much, selina. nice to see you. >>> well, the antarctica so-called doomsday glacier could be in critical danger. the glacier is about the size of florida. it's huge. it's dumping roughly 50 billion tons of ice into the ocean when it melts each year. now, scientists say recent satellite images show warming ocean currents could shatter a critical ice shelf that holds this glacier together. within the next five years, the result, sea levels rising by several feet, triggering irreversible climate changes. that's comforting. >>> all right, on sunday some children with autism are finding hope in an unexpected source, cannabis. but for hope comes at a great risk for their parents. join dr. sanjay gupta for a new cnn special report, "weed 6 marijuana and autism." 8:00 p.m. sunday only on cnn. and there isn't

eric: russian president vladimir putin and chinese president xi jinping take a closer look at growing strategic alliance and what it means for the us-led global orbit. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, now introducing ensure complete! with 30 grams of protein. eric: among heightened tension with the united states russian president the lamb hooton, mister xi accusing the west of interfering in internal affairs of china and russia calling on beijing and moscow to safeguard security interests, inhaling a new model of cooperation, traveling to beijing earlier next year to meet with his chinese counterpart and attend the opening ceremony. let's bring in cliff may. this new entente, is the symbolism or are we talking about a new stage of cooperation? >> a new stage of cooperation, a flourishing relationship. what do they happen, and most important of all they want to diminish the united states, they both want to end what has been the american lead liberal rules-based international ord

and finally, i think xi jinping understandably, he's got this new push about common prosperity. he's worried that some of the internet billionaires have earned too much money and it's affecting the chinese system so you suddenly see chinese tech companies giving billions to charity. i think those are the three reasons you're seeing the decoupling. emily: does it all, then, super charge this race to decoupling and what does it mean for u.s.-china relations after that? are we in the middle of a giant cold war, to use a very dramatic term? anja: i'm not sure i would call it a cold war but it is quite serious and i'm always struck by the difference between how american business people see china which i think is still cautiously optimistic and what my friends in the biden administration and those focused on national security see and they see a much darker picture, emily. i think there is a real concern about xi jinping moving from authoritarianism to totalitarianism. there's a lot of concern about human rights -- understandably so. and even though the summit you saw between president

xi jinping has not left the country in two years. the global economic initiative to joe biden in the pandemic and the way in which china has responded to the pandemic by virtually closing its border and having one of the strictest quarantine systems in the world has severed a lot of people exchanges. fewer people are traveling to china. fewer students are attracted to china and that is having a negative result for china's cultural influence in the world and region. it suggested for china and the political system that still spends more effort and more money on power than it does on its expenditure. kathleen: i would like to get a couple other points in here so i want to get quicker answers and questions. you are talking about asia's deepening security dilemmas presenting a significant risk and you say partners are enhancing their collective initiatives. the u.s. military is concerned about china's growing military power. we know the u.s. has backed away from any trade agreement that could have brought geopolitical forces together. in

no wonder they want to tiptoe around xi jinping. they're all being paid by xi jinping. >> yes. and i know this sounds drastic but we do need to cut all these links with china because many americans now have incentive to promote china over the united states. in other words, to help china destroy our society. so until we can figure out how to deal with beijing, we cannot be trading. we cannot be investing. we cannot have these technical cooperation agreements because we can't have people in our government on wall street, in corporate boards, who are promoting chinese totalitarianism over of american freedom and that is exactly what's happening, maria. maria: and the ccp made it very clear that taiwan is part of china. look what the nfl did. the nfl is raising eyebrows because they showed a map as part of a new announcement that labels taiwan as being part of mainland china. it comes as the white house is under fire for reportedly censoring taiwan during the recent summit for democracy, gordon. so here you have all of these institutions including the nfl rolling over for the ccp,

is xi jinping killing off capitalism in china? >> jin: president xi envisions what he calls a "modern, socialist economy" for china, a much more restricted capitalism. president xi is with the people. he is with the peasants, the middle class. and unlike his predecessors, he doesn't really care so much about what happens to elites. >> stahl: his attitude towards elites became clear about a year ago when he humbled jack ma, china's most famous billionaire. founder of alibaba, the country's biggest e-commerce company, jack ma had long tested beijing's patience with his global hobnobbing. the boiling point came in october 2020, when ma gave a speech criticizing the government's rules and rule- makers as outdated and stifling innovation. >> jin: i was sitting in the third row. >> stahl: did he take your breath away? >> jin: no, i wasn't that surprised, because he tends to be very vocal. >> stahl: he tended to be very vocal. >> jin: he tended to-- thank you for the correction. he tended to be very vocal. >> stahl: after the speech, ali

. >>> now the leaders of russia and china, vladimir putin and xi jinping are meeting on a video call before holding talks. they say the two will be discussing, quote, aggressive u.s. and nato rhetoric. mr. putin spoke tuesday with french president emanuel macron about guarantees on nato expansion in the east. this followed biden's meeting with zelensky. and russia's buildup along the border. fred pleitgen is in berlin with the talks we were telling you about. cyril vanier is in france. fred, let me start with you. xi jinping, vladimir putin meeting virtually, and i believe this is their second meeting which really just shows, fred, this solidarity between beijing and moscow. what has come out of this meeting so far? >> reporter: the solidarity between beijing and moscow and certainly also the personal relationships between vladimir putin and xi jinping, both of them are saying that they are not only obviously colleagues, but they also consider each other to be friends. they consider themselves to be friends, and it's something vladimir putin has said in the past. so, certainly you ca

maria: and yet joe biden had four calls with xi jinping this year. i mean, four calls that lasted hour, three hours long, and not once did joe biden raise the issue of the origins of can covid-19. we all know what has taken place here, that this virus that has killed 700,000 people in america, millions more across the world, originated in wuhan, china. we don't know the details, if it was intentional or wasn't intentional. you've got companies like apple doing a $275 billion deal with the ccp where apple promises the ccp it's going to train its people to make iphones just so that apple can get a good deal and can get a regulatory framework. ray dalio comparing what happened in china where they disappeared jack ma, disappeared this tennis star, and he says, oh, that's like a strict parent. >> yes. this isn't like a strict parent, this is like communist leaders we know whether that's stalin or mao, we know these kinds of dictators and what they mean for freedom around the world and american prosperity, and we have to confront it. our business leaders c

now we have xi jinping in particular and nixon recognized china but now are on the opposite poll of what we are doing now. i'm just wondering and i know i have already sina question here on the dollar itself. this is a footnote jeffrey as you know dollar bond issuance in dollar yield has gone up to radically in the last two years. it somehow seems to increase. well over 75% of commercial transactions in the world are denominations now but is there an alternative and i wonder what your thoughts are there. baskets of currency is quick how do you view this of the backdrop in which we set in place after this meeting in 1971? >> great question but i left something out which i think we should just interject. when you asked me about the similarities and the differences i should have talked about inflation because in 1971 inflation was rising and the inflation stems in good part from the vietnam war and president johnson -- and so when nixon became the president inflation was beginning to be a real problem. and nixon held a very strong view that in the trade-off between inflation and employment

xi jinping keeps reminding officials of the need to become technologically self-reliant. that's the new keyword, christine, self-reliance as xi jinping keeps saying china needs to free itself from the u.s. choke hold in key technologies. christine? >> self-reliance, all right, thank you so much for that, steven zhang in beijing. >>> still ahead for you, the shocker in the uk. the prime minister's party loses a seat they held for 200 years. warning signs for boris johnson. we are live from london next. i got the awesome new iphone 13 pro and airpods, and t-mobile is paying for them both! and this is for new and existing customers. upgrade to the iphone 13 pro and airpods both on us. only at t-mobile. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic

party will continue, even if xi jinping died tomorrow, barring some fundamental rupture in party control that came from that. at this point we do not have a successor, we will leave that aside. i think russia would remain critical to the parties goals of ensuring its own securities as its global interest grow and smoothing the path to great power status the party leadership has laid out for achieving in 2049. if you had a relationship that is more bottom-up with economic ties across the border, more financial links and a shift in regime at the top, you need a country that could still upend that relationship. we talked about the 1950's, and harley makes the point about the inverse of the 1950's. we had a bad relationship between mao and khrushchev while there was much more widespread educational exchange across society, and we know how that worked out. not just at the end of the 1960's when it became apparent to everyone, but much earlier. i would argue the structural dynamics are in place for more of a lasting top-down alignment that persists through the two political systems and to some

xi jinping is the one that took center stage and maintain his dominance. we have to be very strong and clear to china that while we want to engage you in trade and other activities, we cannot allow any nefarious types of activity. chris: finally, iran senators, you made it clear, you think it's a big mistake for the u.s. to get back in the iran nuclear deal. michelle were talking about a situation that's changed so dramatically since president trump pulled out of the deal. iran is up to 60% of enrichment and uranium. is it too late to go back to the deal. has the genie already left the bottle and it's impossible to put it back inside? >> the mess were seen today is a result of the withdrawal which started iran. but we are where we are. i wish i could say it was optimistic to get back to the deal but all indications are coming out of negotiation that that remains remote possibility. now in the situation of having to figure out with her allies how do we deal with in iran that is positioning itself with a clear weapon and continuing to support terrorism throu
