china is dealing with at the moment and i think china will do everything in its power to try and contain and not lead to an outbreak during the olympics uh as well as um we kind of have a perfect storm situation because we have the lunar chinese lunar new year that is on one february which is usually the period of the highest migration in china. and even though the chinese government has advised everyone to stay at home and not travel and they are taking a lot of precautions for the olympics are fencing off all facilities and athletes are being uh ferried to the campus and having everyday a test and if you're vaccinated you don't need to quarantine. but um all the precautions are in place. but i think with every single amit cron case that arrives in china, um every single case will um weekend xi jinping's zero covid policy and i think that in the future we can, as you said before, we can only slow down on micron. but i think china will stick as uh with the zero covid policy for as long as it can. can i come first. but i just wonder, you know, a lot of people must be listening to this kin

why we're seeing that change from china morning, rob, i think china has several priorities here. the 1st one is, is, is energy security. it's an obsession with china as well as with most government and complex down as a key part in the ensuring the china as an oil and natural gas. one fist of its natural gas, comes from context on or through context on past quanch's. if it's all coming through there, so they need as much stability as possible there. and i think another thing which change then is the fact that russia intervened. russia and china hubs, what you call it best, a fraction relationship. but at the moment it's a solid. is it going to ever be on there? i think the fact that russia was able to intervene meant that china was able to be a bit more vocal and how it felt about what was going on there. and also, as it was mentioned in the word, the word in the report, the words color revolution can have a chilling effect in china because it's always afraid of a popular uprising over throwing power. so once overturning its government in china . so once you have words like, dash

china will continue to expand. steadily advanced institutional opening up that conveys rules and standards. deliver national treatment for foreign businesses and promote high-quality cooperation. with the entry of the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement on the first of january this year, china will faithfully fulfill its obligations and deepen economic and trade ties with other parties. china will also continue to work for the joining of the comprehensive and progressive agreement for transpacific partnership and the digital economy partnership agreement, with a view to further integrating into the regional and global economy and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results. china will stay committed to ecological conservation. as i have said any times, we should never grow the economy at the cost of resource depletion and environmental degradation. which is like draining a pond to get fish. nor should we sacrifice growth to protect the environment, which is like climbing a tree to catch fish. gui

we know that it came from china. nancy pelosi has steadfastly refused for two years to even allow a single congressional hearing on the origins of covid and how it came from china. shy has performed other services as well. john boehner, republican former speaker of the house, when he was speaker of the house, blocked legislation, it was crucial to china, they wanted passed. it passed through senate on bipartisan senate it would pass u.s. house on bipartisan base, he refused the speaker to allow it to be even brought on the floor, when he left the speaker ship he joined a lobbying firm in washington that happens to be lobbies firm for the chinese government, they have a contract with embassy of china, their job to provide in their terms, a political intelligence for issues related to u.s. defense budget and other issues. boehner is now a strategic adviser to this firm, they have offices in china. he is neck deep in this firm, and another example of how china works, important to point out. china is not expecting the po

no, china's hold on going to rain, but china is able also to, to talk the screws on it side. i mean, you've seen that with your people with international companies and the issues that when i, when one company try to, to avoid a call to them, to use them from st. john's. because it said if you could use them both later, can. so john, i need to be sure to be complaint against the company. so that means that business will be all more effective and efficient, especially the post covered crisis situation, which will be facing soon might than just not want to to, to make the economic situation worse. for the country, so this will be a good question for all european countries. actually to, to answer arianna reimers with the mayor carter institute for china studies. we appreciate your time, your insights tonight. thank you. was i'm sad. news to report denied the ground breaking actor sidney point he has died at the age of $94.00. he was the 1st black person to win the best actor award. best oscar for the 1963 film lilies of the field. he inspired a generation during the civil rights

in china, there are very few. and china's commitment to its zero covid strategy remains as strong as ever. translation: china's overall situation remains stable - and regional clusters of locally transmitted cases can be effectively controlled within a short period of time. and this is what effective control means in practice. they discovered three asymptomatic cases — three — and that is led, within a very short period of time to a city with over1 million people being shut down. zero covid means lockdowns. it means testing on a huge scale. it means disinfecting public transport ahead of a busy travel season. it means quarantine camps for those suspected of having covid. as well as that, officials are warning against ordering things from overseas. they believe omicron may have arrived in beijing via infected mailfrom canada. there is even a hamster cull in hong kong after cases were traced to a pet shop. the virus may have first been identified in china but, as you can see, it very much wants to keep it out no

so for china it is always a work in progress. so china always hold high the banner of reforms and will continue to at the market play a role. and then see to it and then to develop the public sector. with an orderly market system with legal status before the law. and all types of capital to our threeco in china and then to play role for the development of the country china has high standards opening up with those management standards. and then to permit promote high-quality corporation. andp other regional partnership agreement china will faithfully fulfill its obligations with other parties. china will also continue with a progressive agreement and the digital economy partnership with a view to further integrate to achieve mutual benefit. china will stay committed to study ecological conservation and that the cost of resource depletion and this is like to get fish. and then to protect the environment which is guided by the philosophy that is just as valuable as gold and silver and systematic governance and then we do everything

china center. i am sure the admiral will have much to say about to u.s. china relation. he has published 10 books on leadership, the oceans, maritime affairs, latin america. we will get to some of these topics during our wide reaching conversations today. his most recent book which i read, was cowritten with elliott ackerman it is gauging, sobering, global war. we will talk about and which i have here. i want everyone of you to read it. i am delighted that not only do we have our usual attendance here, i welcome in our audience from c-span. this is being shown live today and thank you for joining us as well. before we get into the big issues of the day, let me begin with a couple of questions about your leadership. you have a chance in your career to command hundreds of thousands of people, tell us a little bit about where you get your inspiration and what leaders brought you forward, gave you a sense of leadership that you wanted to impart on the people that you worked with and tell us what you think is important traits are. thank you and welcome to the show. james: tha

and once a reaction from europe of german on, on china policy happens, then that will be china reaction. and then we will see whether a ton of real politics we are working with really. yeah, let me just let me ask you, let me ask you, do you think that's really going to happen? because, you know, you could argue that china needs, the european union needs germany just as much as germany needs china when we're talking about, you know, the 2 way street of business here. so if you do in of turn the screws a little bit, when it comes to human rights, i mean the china is not going to run away. no time is not uncommon ray, but china is able also to, to school on its side. i mean, you've seen that with your p o was international companies and issues. seeing that when i, when one company tried to, to void a custom to use content from saint john. because it said that we could use them for labor can. so john, a complaint against the company. so that means that business will be effective and efficient, especially in the house cover crisis situation, which will be facing soon. might that just not wa

china. a little more than a decade, china felt almost 40000 kilometers, have high speed rail, connecting nearly every major city in the country. china now counts for roughly 2 thirds of the world's high speed rail volume. outstripping both japan and e. you. meanwhile in europe, only 11000 kilometers of high speed rail, a currently used according to the world wide railway organization. and forget about the us. it barely even has one to so how to china do it. can other countries even come close to achieving the same? and what too expensive lizards have to do with it? i didn't invent high speed rail, but boy, a bay adult should be idea and run with it. this is mark smith, otherwise known as the man and seat, 61. he runs. one of the internet's most popular trend. so he rides a lot of them, like a lot. by all now streets ahead of any of the high speed or writer in terms of the network they've built. it's incredibly, one organized every one on the high speed network has their own reserved seat and

china is a country that delivers on its promises. china has already sent over two billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations. still, china will provide another one billion doses to african countries, including 600 million doses as donation, and will also donate 150 million doses to asean countries. second, we need to resolve various risks and promote steady recovery of the world economy. the world economy is emerging from the depths, yet it still faces many constraints. the global industrial and supply chains have been disrupted. commodity prices continue to rise. energy supply remains tight. these risks compound one another and heighten the uncertainty about economic recovery. the global low inflation environment has notably changed, and the risks of inflation driven by multiple factors are surfacing. if major economies slam on the brakes or take a u-turn in their monetary policies, there would be serious negative spillovers. they would present challenges to global economic and financial sta

the recovery in china. well, rob, to start off, maybe we should look at, you know, there are positives here that we've seen car production group for the 1st time since april. we're seeing that industrial production grew strongly and to a certain extent helped to offset as a drop in retail sales. and they're also higher than that. the figures are higher than i had been expecting. but then again, looking towards the end of the year, we can really see that there are a lot of challenges facing the economy. the primary one is the course, alma kron. nobody knows what china 0 cobit policy is going to mean for how it deals with alma chrome because it's shown itself to be so infectious and we're seeing a lot of cases there. so that's really giving people lot of headaches. and then also we have the real estate issue which hasn't gone away. it's worth $55.00 trillion dollars, which is 4 times total gdp and china. so there's a lot of these headwinds that the economy is facing in to now. now we just seen the shape of th

, jealous of china's achievements. and they're ruining this moment for china by boycotting the olympics. but that's not going to affect the success of the actual games. but then, ah, what this does is it really stifles and creates nor space for any discussion around the validity of these criticisms. these accusations of human rights abuses in even genocide around the treatment of the wiggers for example. so that's what's happening inside china, but very much, sir, outside of china, you're seeing this international criticism that is really tarnishing china's image . it's really, this is forced to be china's mormon, to show the world that it's not only a, a strong country, but it's an influential one. and this is really undermining its credibility because it a lot of countries now very careful about how they do with china. a lot of sponsors multinational companies are very wary about showing their sponsorship or their relationship will support of the games or, or they ging. oh, so it's almost 2 world. so there will be re

how much of it can china take? i think you're right. the 1st one, the defense is keeping the virus out of the community and the longer that you can do that, that the more time you have without any cases it is the best. but then when they have all outbreaks, you can, you can see there's very disruptive intervention which are very costly. and as these occur more frequently and take longer to control, i would say the case for 0 cove, it is less concrete than maybe it was in the past. i know the same time the vaccine coverage and the mainland is going up and up and up that doing that. those is now. so i think that would be a time where they could choose to switch over to another strategy away from 0 cobit but so far. they've shown no sign of, of planning exit. i'd like to talk about some of the other countries which were following until recently. a similar approach to china is essentially the 0 corporate approach. countries like australia, new zealand, think of all taiwan to some extent results doing that. but then they've all switched stra

the recovery in china? well, rob, to start off, maybe we should look at, you know, there are positives here that we've seen car production group for the 1st time since april. we're seeing that industrial production grew strongly and that to a certain extent helped to office as a drop in retail sales. and they're also higher than that. the figures are higher than i had been expecting. but then again, looking towards the end of the year, we can really see that there are a lot of challenges facing the economy. the primary one is of course, micron. nobody knows what china 0 cove it policy is going to mean for how it deals with alma chrome because it's shown itself to be so infectious and we're seeing a lot of cases there. so that's really giving people lot of headaches. and then also we have the real estate issue which hasn't gone away, is we're $55.00 trillion dollars, which is 4 times total gdp and china. so there's a lot of these headwinds that the economy is facing in to now. now we've just seen the shape o

as you pointed out, china, i mean the c, c. p is breaking international law national sovereignty of at least $120.00 countries as their official statements point out on a regular basis. what we've documented in this report is that the campaign staff started in 2014, reinforced in 2015 and again in 2018 fox hunt. and then claim that the so called anti corruption campaign where anti corruption is to be taken very broadly, basically hunting, chasing dissidence activists. a growing number of people trying to flee china as official numbers indicate everywhere in the world. now instead of using official legal mechanisms, which obviously we document that they're increasingly trying to do it using the and simple system trying to extradited or to for that. however, the majority of people and we're talking over 10000 people that have been written since operation fuck 10, started in 2014, according to official data by the chinese government. and the majority of these people are returned to so called a regular means. now that irregular mea

now this is a significant global public image event for, for china and china's global image. essentially embedded with that, but it's also embedded in with the way that it's handling a covert. if they did, the spread is not limited. if it's not contained, what could have impact you think that's going to have on china's global image when it's been so adamant that is going to maintain a covered 0 policy? i think china is facing this dilemma because it has been closing the border for so long, although now it allows more athletes and relevant personnel to come in with athletes . it's do very close the country now compared to what we had 2 years ago. so the policy side, so the central government in china are making will have a different image from before because miscommunication happens in this situation. we have saying. busy i'll quote the words of some of my foreign friends, the accidents of foreigners from china, because either they haven't been seeing their family for 2 years, they just have to. and the cost of that would be they need to leave their job in china, or they stay,

china is dealing with at the moment and i think china will do everything in its power to try and contain and not lead to an outbreak during the olympics uh as well as um we kind of have a perfect storm situation because we have the lunar chinese lunar new year that is on one february which is usually the period of the highest migration in china. and even though the chinese government has advised everyone to stay at home and not travel and they are taking a lot of precautions for the olympics are fencing off all facilities and athletes are being uh ferried to the campus and having everyday a test and if you're vaccinated you don't need to quarantine. but um all the precautions are in place. but i think with every single amit cron case that arrives in china, um every single cacase will um weekend xi jinping's zero covid policy and i think that in the future we can, as you said before, we can only slow down on micron. but i think china will stick as uh with the zero covid policy for as long as it can. can i come first. but i just wonder, you know, a lot of people must be listening to this k

how much of it can china take? i think you're right. the 1st one, the defense is keeping the virus out of the community and the longer that you can do that, that the more time you have without any cases is the best. but then when they have all outbreaks, you can, you can see there's very disruptive intervention which are very costly. and as these occur more frequently and take longer to control, i would say the case for 0 cove, it is less concrete than maybe it was in the past. i know the same time the vaccine coverage and the mainland is going up and up and up that doing that. those is now. so i think that would be a time where they could choose to switch over to another strategy away from 0 cobit but so far. they've shown no sign of, of planning, exit. i'd like to talk about some of the other countries which were following until recently a similar approach to china is essentially the 0 corporate approach. countries like australia, new zealand, singapore, taiwan, to some extent, result doing that. but then they've all switched strategy

we're not changing the one china policy. but then again, you have jake sullivan, the us security advisor in an interview on cnn with korea, was saying very clearly listen, what we mean by managing this competition. is that the, you know, the status for the possible future fess the parameters of its own and its allies interest. we set the parameters and then when exactly, he said yeah, but what have you actually agree during this time? what, what did you negotiate with china? what's come up and sullivan said just carried blank, pay him wrong question. don't ask me that question. wrong metric that was, that was the tone of the the, the sullivan interview and fame equally, you know, not only always going to fit the people order for the guy for the board of the framework for the global order in our interests. but it's also going to support free liberal mark everywhere. in other words, if we're going to be, if you like, if you like it was going to be a criteria or a framework for the lease or financial leads to continue to invest

anyway, china also says hi, join like your partner, china, you're part of china. i don't think people we should judge without all effects before them. if people have not done for research and do not know what's really going on, they should not get on a high horse and points a finger at others. i don't believe in putting fingers. and so righteousness where you are answered my question, have you ever raised an eyebrow about the human rights vacuum that exists on the mainland? have you that's not my business to point the finger at the situation. in the meantime, you know, my business as a hong kong legislator is to look after the human rights situation and the welfare of my people. and one of the most important rights of hong kong people is to write the rights to adequate housing. that's priority number one for me as while community at the moment. if you want to an example regina emp, of rights being road back in hong kong look no further than last month, new style election to your legislative council, which was announced by china's parliament last march. china's par

why we seeing that change from china? morning, rob, i think china has several priorities here. the 1st one is, is, is energy security. it's an obsession with china as well as with most government, i'm complex down the key part in the ensuring the china has enough oil and natural gas. one fixed of it's natural gas comes from context on or through context on past quantities, but all are coming through there. so they need as much stability as possible there . and i think another thing which change them is the fact that russia intervened. russia and china hubs, what you'd call it best, a fraction relationship, but at the moment it's a salo does. it's going to ever be on there. i think the fact that russia was able to intervene meant that china was able to be a bit more vocal in how it felt about what was going on there. and also, as it was mentioned in the word, the word in the report, the words color revolution can have a chilling effect in china because it's always afraid of a popular uprising over throwing power. so once overturning its government in china . so once you have wor

a veritable no man's land separates the olympic village from the rest of china. in the media canteen, everything is automated. access to the olympic area is heavily restricted for the chinese. the government warns people to keep away from buses carrying olympics participants, even in the case of an accident. no one should come to help. rheumatoid protection against the pandemic seems to be more important than protecting ordinary people's lives. in china, the fear of alma crohn is growing and that's where the olympics is. closed loop system comes in, as we said in little earlier, in separate schemes, officials and athletes from the general population to prevent the spread of covered 19 of the loop begins right from the airport on arrival. after passing through a selected corridor and taking a test, officials and athletes are taken by dedicated transport to where they are staying transport from here to the games. van yos is also by dedicated transport. moving on purpose, built roads and grid lines. cove, it precautions that off to continue to be implemented at the

i think we should continue to press hard to designate and describe china, communist china as a genocidal nation. i think that's powerful i would agree. going forward and really emphasizing the genocide is going to be impactful. i've got questions coming in from the audience so i want to give them a chance to be heard. let me throw this question out to any of you or any of you three who would like to take a shot at this. in many respects, beijing's selection as host of the 2022 olympic games was the decision of the ioc which has maintained a path of conciliatory approach towards china. are there any actions that we are our allies couldtake to ensure due diligencefrom the ioc in the future . any thoughts , any insights ? >> i'm happy to take a crack at it. unfortunately the international olympic committee although not entirely impervious to international pressure has driven itself to completely unfaithful actors. as was as fine as was mentioned earlier in the case of the chinese tennis star we saw the president of the international olympic committee aiding and abetting in the chinese parti

more sanctions being put on china, more isolation on china, trying to push it out to be international order and into isolation of human rights. and of course, you know, although human rights federation, i'm sure it's a very fine document. but different countries, different civilizations have different view. china tends to part social cohesion, the community as its human rights. i mean the rights of communities, the rights of the people as a whole, we in the west tended to price the individual human rights, individual identity rights, gender right. well. busy if you, i mean, now we have so many more of these identity issues coming up, all of them can be used to put sanctions or penalize, or indeed other forms of the right punishment from a state. that's what, what can i say sion of human rights, which i mean, i think i support support all of them. but i suppose the point is it's in the beholder and it goes going down. i'mma is, is open as a group. i'll stop you there more from the former advisor to the european union type representative, the common forum and security policy after this

those people need to pay the price for doing business with china. and not only looking at the ccp here, the ioc needs to be held accountable for taking the olympic student countries like this is despicable. >> laura: drew, there is a revolving door between the international olympic committee, the ioc, and the ccp because the former head of the ioc's media operations no consults for china. here is the state media touting the connection. beijing is ready for the winter olympics facilities are fantastic according to beijing 2022 senior consultant and that he, the former head of media operations of the ioc. drew, you have to hand it to china because they know who to hire her to get the lingo just right for the big p.r. coup. >> absolutely correct. and this goes on through the ioc and all the big corporations where they put people in place that they can make puppets and do what they want to do to achieve their goals and it is really, really sad. yeah, you know, it's like the fox watching the hen house. it's cliche. it is really side and when people wake

what is going on with china? for ages we've have been talking about it with the south china sea and we have talked about it. there is no sanctions on that. >> it shows the degree there's a tremendous interest in the country. and at the end of the day, we do need to have a military capability in the western pacific. there is a prominent academic thing today that the chinese are ready today and they might. that's where our focus needs to be is not that russia is challenge but as you suggested europeans can handle this page wharf the russians and economic power in can turn into military power. we can help them but it's a matter of will and if we send a huge additional force into you were on —- europe that sends the wrong message and that's where it will be settled in america's features will be settled. steve: with all the outrage and indignation from all of the senators of both parties focusing was taken seriously great to see you again. we will be right back. some of my best memories growing up, were cooking with

china's political meetings as the virus flareup near beijing raises concerns over the winter olympics. plus, the u.s. house nearing a deal on the china competition bill that could pump billions of dollars into the chip industry. haidi: let's take a look at how we're settling into the first few minutes of trade here in australia. we have future showing a little bit of downside as we process implications, not just for the fed, but how the tightening path is going to affect other global central banks, particularly here in asia, where they may face the choice between keeping up with the fed and maintaining support with the domestic recovery, as well. we are seeing a pretty much unchanged session, watching crown results as they get closer to that deal with blackstone. kiwi stocks are up .3%, with lots of analysts projecting further volatility in its currency given that we are seeing some of the central bank divergence coming into play again, u.k. futures in tokyo just turning red, but what seems t

in china, there are very few. and china's commitment to its zero covid strategy remains as strong as ever. translation: china's overall situation remains stable - and regional clusters of locally transmitted cases can be effectively controlled within a short period of time. and this is what effective control means in practice. they discovered three asymptomatic cases — three — and that is led, within a very short period of time to a city with overi million people being shut down. zero covid means lockdowns. it means testing on a huge scale. it means disinfecting public transport ahead of a busy travel season. it means quarantine camps for those suspected of having covid. as well as that, officials are warning against ordering things from overseas. they believe omicron may have arrived in beijing via infected mailfrom canada. there is even a hamster cull in hong kong after cases were traced to a pet shop. the virus may have first been identified in china but, as you can see, it very much wants to keep it out no

as you pointed out, china, i mean the c, c. p is breaking international law national sovereignty of at least 120 countries as their official statements. point out on a regular basis. what we've documented in this report is that the campaign staff started in 2014, reinforced in 2015 and again in 2018 fox hunt. and then claim that the so called anti corruption campaign where anti corruption is to be taken very broadly, basically hunting, chasing dissidence activists. a growing number of people trying to flee china as official numbers indicate everywhere in the world. now instead of using official legal mechanisms, which obviously we document that they're increasingly trying to do it using the support system, trying to expedite it or to for that. however, the majority of people and we're talking over 10000 people that have been written since operation fuck 10 started in 2014, according to official data by the chinese government. because the majority of these people are returned to so called a regular means. now that irregular mean

i don't understand why it's different for china. china has the same goals as the soviet union. they want to supplant us. so people, i think, in washington have to get serious about this. this is not a partisan issue, it's a national security issue. maria: yeah, for sure. and, of course, we've got the evidence right in front of us. this e-mail that we've reported on now for a few years, tony bob linskey, a partner of hunter biden at the time, we mails back and forth to chinese executives, officials saying here's how we're going to do the deal of oil company, 20% for hunter, it goes down the list as well as the partners and at the end 10% held by h, meaning hunter, for the big guy. so the big guy, apparently, is joe biden. where is this going? i mean, you know, social media has censored all of this. >> they have. and as i point out in the book, the big tech companies, all of them -- microsoft, google -- also have their, i would argue, compromised relationships with china. so it's a big problem, maria. american elites from wall street to silicon valley, a lot of them in washington
