foreigners want to contain china, cd and ping, use the word today in slave china. in other words, foreigners want to do to china what they did during the colonial period. and that is really a highly motivating line of reasoning for him to use. and it creates a kind of emotional connection with people in china. you can still get very angry and emotional about the past. and we know that, you know, many of the, these foreign powers watchdogs, for example, they have been putting the spotlight on human rights abuses in china itself, for example, engine john. also the cracked on free speech in the pro democracy movement in hong kong. all of these that have come under intense criticism in which direction do you see the party heading well, very much in its own direction. you know, when china was poor, it took no notice the worst and criticism of human rights. now that it's richer, it's going to take even less notice. and in fact, i mean, you know, is all trying at all manner of ways of 5 back and put its own story, which by the way, have been launch unsuccessful in convinc

does not want to endanger the economic ties was china there are far. too important for the economies in europe they have to trade and to to deal visit china and so it's also clear that the e.u. is also already fick to ring in the retaliation because it's now clear that there will be a tit for tat and that the chinese will come up with some counter measures and as we hear the foreign ministry and b.g. already issued a list of 10 individuals and 4 companies that will be punished in europe. battery good reporting from brussels thank you so very much and i'd like to take you now to china to get the perspective from their correspondence but he has been or is in beijing for you. just tell us about who the individuals are that are targeted here . yeah these are individuals who are hiring officials in the regional government off seeing john or in the security of power it is the head of the security forces of the public security bureau is among them the deputy party secretary what is however interesting is that the party secretary the most powerful man in the r

being critical of china. all pression of the people of hong kong where. just of the recent so-called electoral reform as being drafted to make sure that elections will never ever play a role again in hong kong and of also being critical of china's aggressive allah sees in its neighborhood of course so i guess that's that's what the what they don't like they they are not any more satisfied with just over pressing free speech in their own country they not want to externalize that i think they're underestimating the resilience of the mattress and it's one of the ask you now that your name is on this list of sanctions targets is it going to impact or affect the work that you do every day. not and no i don't i don't i don't think i mean i don't have 234 appointments in beijing that they could take rumi there there are no assets there that they might graft on they they are telling me i'm not allowed to to travel to to the mainland and to hong kong and to mark how they didn't mention taiwan obviously they think i sh

foreigners want to contain china. see the paying used to the word today in slave china. in other words, foreigners want to do to china what they did during the colonial period. and that is really a highly motivating line of reasoning for him to use. and it creates a kind of emotional connection with people in china. you can still get very angry and emotional about the past. and we know that, you know, many of the, these foreign powers watchdogs, for example, they have been putting the spotlight on human rights abuses in china itself, for example, inch in john. also the cracked on free speech and the pro democracy movement in hong kong. all of these that have come under intense criticism in which direction do you see the party heading well, very much in its own direction. you know, when china was poor, i took no notice of waste and criticism of human rights. now that it's richer, it's going to take even less notice. and in fact, you know, is all trying at all manner of ways of 5 back and put its own story, which by the

and the tie and china have this big investment agreement that is up for ratification. yes the comprehensive agreement on investment which was agreed in principle at the end of december sending mixed messages for certain and china is very fearful that this might not be ratified by the european parliament so we will we see a lot of pressure because inside the parliament people are very concerned about human rights and so i think the biggest fear for china is that the companies have agreement an investment might not be ratified and they are also warning the public about sanctions their language is been extremely strong from the chinese ambassador here in brussels very very negative towards germany which actually initiated this narrative about the sanctions so the global times of course it's a newspaper but was extremely critical of germany so i think they're trying to scare everyone to prevent them from having any form of sanctions but i think they in their mind say that the agreement should not be politicized and it's gone this far and i think that they are extremely fea

well, nato in general sees china as an adversary, as well in the summit, tackled the role china a place in the world. and we've seen that in the final communique that was issued by the nato members voicing a strong concern about the rise of china that had potentially could pose a threat to the world. audra a tool tele terry and regina that already has the largest navy that it's military is still growing. and also china aggressively growing it's geo political influence and at the same time breaching human rights undermining democracy and hong kong in taiwan. and so the message of natal was clear, it was a message of deterrence really, that the block would stand firm and that it's based on a strong foundation. now this summit was joe biden chance to reassure european partners. the u. s. is committed to the alliance after souring tires under his predecessor donald trump. has he been successful? or clear? you have to remember where we're coming from and we're coming from a time where just 4 years ago, the president of the united states president trump a call natal obsolete in brussels. and

china wants it to be. it is, and i think that's, that's basically, i don't know how if people have kind of realize that this is happening, you know, in a way that, that, that's what we're seeing now that china is just, are saying you can say what you want about change. young, but we don't consider in general problem and it's up to you to deal with it. so i think the pressure is going to come back politically. it's going to be a political story. and i think that's, that's where we're going to be this year. ok. clifford can and thanks for giving it on it for us during 2021 and i'm sure you will continue to join 2022 as well. staying with china and cities like hong kong, shanghai and sion jan have some of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, was residential prices. sometimes dozens of times higher than the average household income and rising. they chang is fighting and expanding property bubble above beijing's glittering facades shine proud symbols of the chinese economic miracle. the people w

china should be seen. it's quite natural that diplomats would kind of take heed of that and start to follow his lead. what does this mean for the other nations in the world and looked at more specific? what about the nations in the immediate vicinity of china? in asia, i'm thinking for india, i'm thinking of, say, the philippines or region such as taiwan, which have had long running disputes with china. what does this new assertiveness, this new idea that china is a world class power mean for these nations and their relations with china? well, i think it's a really interesting question because i think the answer to that is, is changing kind of week by week at the moment during the trump administration, when relationships with us eyes were frayed paging, seem to feel like a good treat countries i'm trying to periphery as wanted and there would be limiting consequences. you can make them um, it could offer inducements in many cases and believe that it could get what it wanted. but the, the, by the ministrati

a china that uses predatory trade practices and a china that is now the leading source of espionage against the united states put all that together and they've decided to go after them. back to kind of imagine this company's great destiny. how is it grown so quickly to become emblematic of an entire nation one time in its history. when one was founded in 1907 china was in full growth. 10 years beforehand the new leader thing shopping had launched his great modernization reforms with a single objective to elevate china to the rank of a world superpower. today's china is entering a new phase here we are now focusing our efforts on the modernization of farming and industry science and technology along with national defense so we can we do our country in a typically chinese way. in the 1980 s. when huawei was born when it was just getting started and. the chinese market economy was also in just getting started so the chinese government in beijing which is thousands of miles away in the north of china decided you know we're going to have a few cities where we're going to try out capitali

but china brings more. when cutting edge technology it's also prepared to invest in older environmentally harmful processes. could soon you know your cancer is a really horrible disease there's all of us know what we're in for it's lost the gutter usually. it's a region torn between its loyalty to europe and the opportunities that china offers . so it would be easy to convince our politicians not to get funds from the chinese for such projects if there was a serious attempt off europe to help us in the transition towards the coalition. when. you. move. this is no children's model railway. welcome to the expression room for the project of hunger and so when i say to a way in the territory of servia place for me. is an engineer overseeing the belgrade to budapest route at the china railway headquarters visitors are shown serbia's showcase model. the beijing based engineer has travelled practically all over the world for the new silk road project. for me actually there is no such controversial because i was do

the south china sea. we have a left wing of wind here that had its doubts about us and you'll be skipped. the must be you member grease broker, political taboo by signing with the chinese. grease has also been silent about aging actions in hong kong. money, francis scott, he says makes you dependent. she's particularly worried about the use divisions over china. but the realization that europe has to speak to china with one voice is slowly gaining ground. i think, i mean, it's not yet reached a consensus on how to deal with china. what it's added to more than china is when making the europe has no clear analysis. china is going to behave from western countries and is doing particular economic policies in europe. no longer has the tunes that china has, namely update to enterprise. and china is clearly using these to be the career crisis has highlighted, europe's lack of cohesion. even italians like ricardo rocky also felt that china exploited the divisions by sending aid to italy. europe eventually came up

china sea and the east china sea. notoriously china has been building military outposts on disputed islands throughout the region despite objections from its neighbors this is partly about staking out military might but it also has huge implications for the world economy a really significant proportion of global trade passes through these waters the greatest fear of all is that china could one day follow through on its threat to invade taiwan something that's not just a daily concern for the people of taiwan but for u.s. allies in the whole region their power. if taiwan were to be occupied by the chinese military then it becomes almost impossible to defend our entire network. at that point. because at any time they could be invaded from taiwan if they're attacking these risks is going to take monumental efforts from the u.s. in asia in the years to come from investing in the navy to rallying allies in the region to stick together that process was already on to wager in the trumpet ministration with meetings of the clo

china is focusing on us. so we want to focus on china because china has a very strong agenda with using any kind of energy and sign their g to expand its influence over older countries of the western world. and therefore, we must have an agenda to what is the kind of investment that we can have all the kind of trade, authentic operation because we the country, which is the same way but events. amy, so it's a corporation even now when we're talking, china is totally obscure and is the country of censorship, about the real origin, nature and consequences of it. and europe is now coming to realize that china is no longer a purely economic power, but also a political one. meanwhile, the dock workers union in paris has come to terms with its new chinese bosses and is trying to negotiate workers' rights as best it can. it can be a video with, with other staff over the last 10 years. the, our experience with the chinese has been that they always negotiate as hard as they can and demand as much freedom possible. but

it's not going down that route that it's going to compete with china and what are you hearing from china in terms of whether they think it will remain as confrontational as it apparently was in courage will will there in fact be more trade war more trade conflict essentially more of the trump approach i think china . and especially because of the. diplomacy that it whole ready has been trying to do since 17 it has increasingly been harsh on other neighbors when like when they were attacked and they have tried to. like to try to show. the chinese people that trying the china is now strong that it can compete with the west and neighbors and i think china is going down that route that it's focusing much more on the domestic market that it's. driving itself away from corporation with the west but try to look into the domestic market how can how can. people from the chinese people think in like about china it's much more important for them to himself has repeatedly said that there are certain topics and areas on which the u.s. must cooperate with russia and china be it arms control climate ch

china has. hoped obviously when they concluded the comprehensive agreement on investment that the european union would be young could be taken for granted if only they'd made a few minor economic concessions they could have us in the pocket politically and now they they learned that the european union is not just a mere cancellers tar that but that it stands up for its values so that's a major failure procedure in creating that's why they're angry and i think that the reaction in itself also helps undermining china's international image so this is a real political battle this is not an ass if here is a round up of other stories making news around the world. canadian form a diplomatic used to spying in china is waiting to hear a verdict against him he and another canadian citizen have been held for more than 2 years canada maintains the cases are in retaliation for it's the arrest of a top floor weight executive. so a police officer and several other people have been killed. in a shooting at a su

rather than being dismissed as if it is china about them in the water so i don't think china wants to model the wall that china wants to see the real truth the real all region of the virus you speak of the scientific evidence that to go but then i'm giving you the words of a scientific person a senior out of functionality of the double retro micron who's saying that whatever you're saying essentially is highly speculative so you talk about scientific proof on the one hand yet you does for god what the scientific person is saying. no i don't think so i think the remarks you quoted the just now were laid before the discovery of many subsequent scientific findings including the report i mentioned published in italy very least i think just within the past 30 days also and i think probably h.-o. as it's leading scientists should really being cruel to ever seeing in the material says in their scope of investigation for one and then for example jumping the gun and come to the conclusion that the origin of the virus was seen china says regarding all the material pieces of information probably

welcome to china. but they're all parked depth of china. not the communist party has never meant to to reform open up to answer your question. ready the secrets are really, it's very simple. anyone who travel up in china in late seventy's or, or throughout the eighty's you, you saw china what china was like. everybody was suppressed down you know, half of fix to place to work fixed place to live, half a level of freedom to just travel or money to do so. but after they reform and the opening up, it's like, oh, i like to get a metal for like a curfew. that's the cur. previously the curfew was set to after 3 pm, 3 pm during the day, and now the curfew is lifted up to midnight. so people did enjoy freedom to some extent, but they or another matter for my cage, the cage was very, very small. everybody was stuff there can't move. now the cage is rather, it's somewhat to big and people there are many people are chinese inside china or so brainwashed, they forgot that they are. there is a case where they are, you know the success. yes. so let me ju

he's kind of transform china so rapidly because china used to be such a poor, impoverish country always with human rights violations always for decades. china has always had a lot of human rights violation, but the problem is now china has actually become economically very successful in addition to math, human rights violations. and so my question i always ask is, you know, when china had the chinaman with mr. car, when there was the great famine of china, where 45000000 people died. and in the culture revolution went up to a 1000000 people died. you know, the u. s. no one in the international community interfered and came to, to help the people of china and china was a poor country. they didn't have any high technology. they didn't have any scientific innovation at the time. people were leaving china, you know, in, in the millions we have a huge chinese diaspora around the world. and no one asked why there's so many cheap chinese people around the world. i don't think that biden is as cynical in his approach to china. i think he really has a deep seated believe the human. why do matter

if china does not stop human rights what is something to back and they're not going. to not should not be able to cost these 2022 winter olympics. the chinese government has drawn international condemnation for its repression of minorities in particular the mass detention of shin johns week is in so-called reeducation camps. and this past year has seen a massive crackdown on political freedoms in hong kong. but while the i.o.c. claims to be paying heed to human rights activists say it's only paying lip service . to the commitments that the chinese government made to the r.c. and the other 2 members of the i.o.c. made itself human rights are clearly not worth the paper they were written on. china dismisses calls to boycott beijing 2022 as political gamesmanship to return to the. any attempt to interfere with and disrupt the normal preparation and holding of the olympics out of political motives is highly irresponsible. feet before they're in this war. meanwhile olympic athletes a lift to walk a fine diplomatic line we haven't been talking about anything we have seen ou

quite afterwards also to try to spin the debate in a way that many look like a star in china and china was you know the 1st country to report that what's happening here is something that goes well beyond the pandemic and far exceeds the scope of china's official diplomatic missions like here and. it's a much bigger campaign photo lobel influence it's been building up the years now will continue long after the pandemic is over. the most visible driver of this is the belton road initiative a project spanning more than 100 countries that is redrawing the map of china's economic power in a single region in europe chinese fans of poor ring into highway bridges in montenegro a coal fired power plant in bosnia and a giant seaport in greece that may yet become the largest in europe. and you can see the sign. these investments can translate into political influence like at the united nations human rights council where china won a show of support last year for its controversial suppression of freedoms in hong kong 4 out of 5 countries backing china has signed up to belton road. these efforts to
