i'm pinning my hopes on china that the cooperation with china will help the tourist industry to grow in sicily. just. last year we had president xi jinping here cicely wants to see more chinese tourists the chinese are very curious about italy . graci no longer holds political office the government he was part of only lasted for 15 months but the letter of intent that he negotiated with china is still valid. when i came in i took on these projects and actually delivered it. so i accelerated the process made final agreements with the chinese counterparts and we implemented them we cited and i do think a bit this is the base to economic opportunity that italy has to cooperate with china doing these things together. this deal with china alarmed europe. italy is after all one of the use founding members as well as part of nato. many saw the signing of this contract as a break with the old alliances. the logic of the italian government back then was purely economic. they said everyone else was doing business with china too even if they had no official agreement. there is absolutely no con

so while in the south china sea, china is pretty much getting a free run in the land border. the indian side is, is sort of boot, it's, we're down and said that we're not letting you get in position of anymore and did get it. so it's sort of a nasty situation, but chinese, the sort of military landing sort of seems to be ok with that kind of nastiness. as long as they get what they want, they get by, by occupying those state increase. they're quite okay with it. i just believe it for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us. thank you. my pleasure and china's actions figured in monday's meeting of nita leaders in brussels as well. it was us president jo biden's, 1st meeting with the lines members they pledged to work together to counter the court systemic challenges from china. meter fed channels expansion of its nuclear arsenal. lack of transparency and use of disinformation threatened the international order on tuesday, reaching accused nature of quote, creating confrontation with it. or rigor. franca is a senior policy fellow, the council on foreign relations a

china wants it to be. it is, and i think that's basically, i don't know if people have kind of realize that this is happening, you know, in a way that that's what we're seeing now that china is just 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. so if it can, and thanks for keeping an eye on it for us during 2021, and i'm sure you'll continue to join 2022 as well. staying with china and cities like hong kong, shanghai, and shen gen 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 beijing is fighting and expanding property bubble above beijing's glittering facades shine proud symbols of the chinese economic miracle. the people who clean them though,

c. china read as the may in opponents, which makes sense because he was the sole superpower in china, may slowly be planning this row. the view of the situation in europe is slightly different. first of all, because you know, we don't have as threatened superpower stage, but also they're important economic alliances with china in europe. and so, and so what nature basically needs to do is to bring the trans, they partner together, bring us and canada on the one side of the atlantic together with the european. whereas the view china is slightly different. and again, because nature is a military alliance, and it also needs to focus on, on that hello amanda and conscious, you know, declare china and a poem and not that it is trying to do that. but i think that's, that's the problem here in this, in this context. so the ones i do have the trans atlantic partner that you mentioned, but i wonder where the in the pacific partners fit in. and given that need to already partners with countries such as australia, japan, new zealand, and south korea in the, in the pacific and said to be done aga

state department acumen china china with whom you're working closely it accused china of systematically preventing a transparent and thorough investigation of covert 900 origins choosing instead to devote enormous resources to deceit and this information now you as an organization has really sort of the time i say can i just finish the question please you as an organization have released information which china gave you without any warning that it comes from a sense and state so you are part of the problem aren't you if they have been if the u.s. state department is correct and china has been putting out in deceit and this information you have also put out deceit and this information. well the team you were mentioning a number of times the united states of america 2 weeks ago i had the acting and best of the united states of america here in the region of this reach was very clearly expressing the rest of the debris charities office for europe and he collaboration in many had to talk to the region director of the united states and of the control that dr anthony so did i felt a very stron

they're either built in china or they depend on the rent that the china is, is a commanding the, the market. and so, so that leaves us all vulnerable. it does, and we've famous, especially throughout the pandemic where global supply chains have been really caught in the cross areas of lock downs of, of different and bottleneck issues. and we've seen just how interconnected these markets are. and we've also seen that through trade wars where suddenly you can get products from china, you can't get them from the us. so we definitely are really at the mercy of different economies. here i would say where metals are definitely a big concern because china does have be a vast majority of the market there. the u. s. has been trying to build up that market, but it's really difficult. it takes 2 decades really to do that. but it goes the other way as well. the other way for china, because we've seen this with intell, actually they say they to boycott and tell. but actually they don't have a lot of other options, especially because we're in the midst of a global semiconductor shortage. they real

so there is only one china china untie one. our one was i am proud to be chinese for my actions damaged my company and hurt people in taiwan and china. i deeply regret it, but i asked feel forgiveness held that i am very sorry, but she not was yet. oh, it's on the chen, tacos, chinese, and taiwanese may belong to the same ethnic group that we had 2 fundamentally different countries, the younger, but i wish we could establish the kind of relationship one has between distant relative, so good neighbors, your father, ah, the strained interactions between these distant relatives can play out here at the foot of the famous tie. pay one o one skyscraper. at one time the tallest building in the world, it still attracts hundreds of thousands of chinese tourists each year. but tensions can run high on the square. the idealists of ty, ones, revolutionary army, great chinese visitors with provocative political banners. ah, are you from china? what do you think? china, i'd say gentlemen, how can you tell from your dialect and clothing? is

we're joined now by fabienne crash were a journalist in china and currently in china has sealed off 2 cities following covert outbreaks leaving 20000000 people under strict lockdown how great is their fear that the virus will actually spread well actually had one for example i've not so affected by it but it is the feeling in the ring around the chinese new year that in mid february and the holiday season when usually more than 500000000 chinese on the move that traveling to their hometown and visiting relatives and for me it sounds like it is happy because the yet what the chinese new year season when things got out of control and the virus spread pretty hot within the country i already know from my thoughts those who work in state owned companies to cancel their visit family and i'm expecting if this remote drastic turn of events for the better then that will be a really big travel warning genoa trouble wanting and for the people in a province of the province if they already now go trying to go to beijing they have some problems so yeah it's quite dramatic. so i mean china of course

accuses china of threatening global stability china accuses the us of hypocrisy. and it's supposed to be a traditional photo op between 2 economic and military superpowers but instead a backroom brawl exploded on to the world stage as both sides launched a scathing indictments also discuss our deep concerns with actions by china including and she's wrong hong kong taiwan cyber attacks on the united states economic coercion toward our allies each of these actions threaten the rules based order that maintains what will stability that's why they're not merely internal matters and why we feel an obligation to raise these issues here today chinese communist party foreign affairs chief yang a chief fired back by questioning america's status as a leader. so we hope that when talking about universal values or international public opinion on the part of the united states we hope the u.s. side will think about whether it feels reassured saying these things because the u.s. does not represent the world it only represents the government of the united states with. the u.s. sec

that china certainly has a right to. you know express their opinions as well i think that china just just expressed its satisfaction on its opinion so i think that should not be interpreted any more than that well if you intended a strong reaction if you intended a strong reaction from the european union you got it because it's foreign policy chief you don't have burrell code china your government expansionist or thora tarion and the new empire that undermines international law did you really want to pick a fight with your largest export market well i don't think that china is the picking a fight always with china largest market no i mean it's probably both market for both those regions as well and as i said you know there are there are certain. guidelines and principles 11 country is that. diplomatic ties and the recognize one china policy and national. wire lated or bridged and if that is happen china certainly have a right to protest and the give. in the dissatisfaction and those of his comment i think that's fair you

in china, you may be out this week, celebrations will highlight china's rise in recent decades and glorify early days of struggle under founding father miles on the communist party as route china for 72 years of its 100 year history. no other dictatorship has been a successful at expanding international influence, adding military muscles and overseeing economic growth. the parts you will gloss over policies like the great leap forward in which millions starved and the cultural revolution of half a century ago. you go down here and there be no mention of the bloody crack down on pro democracy protesters a gentleman square in beijing in 1989. you'll see this week the party will be all about promoting the success of its marxist lennon, its political system, and boosting supreme leader she jim payne, who enjoys more power than any leader since now, john is brian of state capitalism, whether the global financial crisis, while many richer nations floundered despite initially mishandling the corona virus outbreak which started and we were trying as economy is back on course, most other countries

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

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

we'll look at china's economic success story. chris currency has led more people to successful june mining bitcoin. we report from argentine and europe in love, molly and manga will make the grow is make sure there are enough to go around and data be business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program. the chinese communist party is celebration. it's $100.00 anniversary. during the past century and in particular the last 4 decades, the policy has reshaped the chinese economy and turned it into today's asian powerhouse. so how's it done? it? well, back in 1978. china was an impoverished peasant stays, so the communist party and the dang shopping decided to bring in a rural reform to increase agricultural production, reduce poverty. later on, the chinese leadership establish special economic zones to attract foreign companies grant state owned enterprises. more freedom, china quickly became the factory of the world, facing then gave a massive boost to the construction sector, building roads, bridges, housing officers, and rail. to

also hope to profit from that china is an increasingly attractive market for the e.u. as chinese consumers will also use the growing disposable income to buy european products some german companies already make a large part of their sales in china like strong which makes components for the semiconductor industry carmaker v.w. and chip maker infinium a joint investment agreement which the e.u. and china finalized in december could make the chinese market even more accessible to european firms among other things it aims to ensure fear of competitive conditions in the future of course china's 5 year plan is primarily about their own progress the people's democratic republic wants to become more independent particularly in light of recent trade disputes with the united states that too could create new opportunities for european companies. to talk more about china's economic ties with europe and the rest of the world i'm joined now by seattle at t.t. she is an economist at the evil instances at the center for international economics in you nick dr to date you've called on t

other markets but for china. to what extent will consumers in these other markets punish them to the extent that consumers in china are punishing them right now are we seeing that kind of demands about these abuses which are well documented in changing i think. that we have time still ahead of us to see consumers mobilize and we know that consumers can do this because of social media platforms it's been made incredibly easy now we have means for transparency to scrutinize companies and what they do so yes those brands and no doubt others will feel the heat and will need to maybe reconsider their sourcing around cotton and look at everything else in the supply chain what they pay their stitchers what they pay people in other parts of the supply chain so yes this is quite a big deal and an indicator of things to come to what extent is the chinese market becoming less predictable these are big brands they have savvy public relations departments there this isn't their 1st time in a very big market that's very sensiti

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

they're afraid of reprisals from china because you in china us do china the economies a highly coupled just briefly how serious is that threat of reprisals? absolutely. serious. china in terms of goods trade is the most important partner for example of germany. and we will not see an immediate change in germany's foreign policy. we have 3 trade, sorry, an investment agreement negotiated between china and you and actually it was already settled, but then the, you understood that they cannot proceed without the us and give them all the problematic development. so if china, on the other hand is going to counter react with compet sanction, what we can expect is we are really in a risky situation. go to meetings, will be worsening. and that's what i think a lot was, i'm sorry, we have to leave it that we've been out of time, but thank you very much for that. thank you. and now a quick look at some other business stories making headlines. finds a bone take cobra, 1900 vaccine, as i'm trying to become the 1st foreign job approved in china. chinese regulators completed an expert review of the
