shery: a look at china first. the defense ministry has essentially jumped on the social media bandwagon and opened up its own weibo account. also, instant messaging. it will go live this morning for the first time. a few minutes from now at 10:00 in beijing with a press conference starting at 10:00. white paper entitled china's military strategy. we are interested in that. you can get updates. it is only in chinese as far as i know. it has 38,000 followers. it is following 30 people or organizations, most are official media organizations and military publications. this will help increase transparency about china's national defense issues. of course, whether you want to believe that or not is up to you. this is quite a new and bold the defense ministry. other parts of the chinese ministry have had their own social media accounts for a wild. for example, the people's liberation army opened one in 2011. they are late to the game. shery: it says a lot that they are doing it. bigou are looking at a icon. promotedhnny i

let's talk about china. it was a surprise, but a move over the weekend to stimulate the waning economy in china. what is the pboc worried about? surprise,ink it was a though maybe not that surprising. we are starting to get a lot of these weekend moves. they are still concerned about growth. i think the correction has been longer and steeper than they expected. one day after we get the trade data last week, we get another rate cut. i and not sure they can do much about the trade data, but the authorities are still clearly concerned about growth. angie: they released q&a as part of their policy moves and the pboc noted that it is having to walk a very fine line when it comes to monetary operations because it has got one eye on the slowing economy, and another eye on growing debt. paul: they have a tricky trade-off. we got into this mess by having mispriced credit and too many developers building too much stuff. now they want to make sure monetary conditions do not get too tight. they do not want another debt

this agreement is not a favor we give to china or that china gives to us. it is in the mutual interests of both countries. like all agreements it's a frame work in which decisions on export technology and materials are made. the agreement contains all the u.s. nonproliferation guarantees required by the awe tommic energy act, safeguards, peaceful use assurances peaceful assurances storage retransfer enrichment, and reprocessing of the u.s. obligated material. it contains enhanced features beyond those contained in the current u.s.-china agreement. china's nonproliferation record improved marketedly since the 1985 agreements. it can do still better and we expect it to do better in the nonproliferation field. implementing this agreement better positions the united states to continue to influence the chinese government in a positive direction on nonproliferation objectives. the current agreement allowed and this agreement will continue to facilitate deepened cooperation on threat reduction export control border security and nuclear safety and nuclear security

he called on china to look beyond their disagreements. >> i stress the need for china to reconsider its approach on some of the issues that hold us back from realizing full potential of our partnership. i suggest that china should take a strategic and long-term view of our relations. i found that chinese literacy responsive. >> translator: both sides have enough political wisdom to manage and control the differences. we will not let the differences affect the development of our overall relationship. >> modi and lee presided at the signing of 24 agreements to promote cooperation in a range of fields from high speed railways to a yoga college. modi started his three-day visit thursday in the home province of president xi jingping. they visited tourist spots together, keen to display their warm personal relationship. >>> boosting business ties with china is at the top of modi's agenda. he's been trying to fulfill his pledge to revitalize the indian economy since taking office last year. nhk world's ab she can duel ya has more from new delhi. >> reporter: modi has been encouraging foreign f

china recognized the south china sea is the last sea, last waters china can have. the international society to criticize china. but china will not restore compromise to them because the south china sea is the vital interest for china because their target rival is only united states, not other countries. on the other hand, stable condition of south china sea is very important for the izian pacific region and also the international society. >>> taiwan's president ma ying-jeou aims to ease tensions in the south china sea. he is proposing a regional dialogue and peace initiative, including a code of conduct. >> i would like to propose the south china sea peace initiative as a viable means of dealing with current issues in this region. >> ma outlined his idea at an international law forum. his initiative includes joint development of natural resources while putting territorial disputes to one side. he said lessons from history should be converted into efforts to promote peace and stability. and he urged countries in the region to exercise restraint. taiwan has no major

/china relation with the recently signed china civilian cooperation agreement. the current agreement, as you pointed out, is set to expire on september 30th of this year. it was signed 30 years ago by president reagan. it's interesting to point out that the implementation of that agreement had to wait for 13 years because of the senate conditions on china's proliferation activities and then because of the aftermath of the tiananmen square massacre. up front, i want to indicate that i'm supportive of a nuclear power. it will reduce our carbon emissions. u.s. nuclear cooperative agreements with other countries provide the united states and a number of important benefits. first and foremost, the 1, 2 3 agreement can help achieve our nonproliferation agreements because we seek the highest nonproliferation standards in these agreements, including ensuring that nuclear technology is never misused for military purposes. it will be an issue i expect our committee will want to explore. second, it's necessary for maintaining a robust nuclear industry. this represent as ma

china a huge market. investors are probably on the safe side of betting this is a big new space for them. but is $600, crossing that mark now just a banner day for them in general in terms of where the company has gotten. >> it will bring up the question is whether netflix is ripe for a stock split, which keeps coming up for every single earnings call, the speculation if that's going to happen, as the price of the stock keeps happening. international is the name of the game for netflix at this point. and the head of content at netflix said it best this week when he said it's a huge asterisk. you can't be an international company and have china be an asterisk when it's that big a part of the world. you can't have that you need to figure out how to get in there. whether it's with a partner. i think what's most interesting, kelly, is this positioning of jack ma as gate-keeper. we're seeing these u.s. companies get on jack ma's team because he has what we would perceive as a fairly good relationship in china.

he signed up on china's twitter today, a partnership with the world wildlife fund in china. bob, what do you make of that? bob: apple sees their future growth will be in china. the u.s. smartphone market has already hit the kind of peak levels we're seeing in china. for the foreseeable future, the u.s. market will be a tough spot. apple has to make a bigger play in china. not everyone in china knows or thinks of apple as a green company that thinks about the environment. this is a public statement to say this is how we think and you should think of us in a positive way. you are important to us. emily: if not china, where else? brian: we are two hours in a game of risk. apple is trying to ask -- expand to china. alibaba trying to get a foothold in the u.s.. nobody talks about 11 main anymore. they did a horrible job to marketing u.s. consumers. instead, they are investing in zoo lily and lift. alibaba made a secret investment. we are seeing that play out on both sides of the pacific. emily: bob brian, and brad thanks for joining us. brad, you are staying with me. it is time f

i think -- a strong china, a dedicated china. united china will actually become a very stablizing force in this part of the world. >> the line from china is that we're the big power on the block. you should be part of our benevolent power structure. certainly some including the countries surrounding china in the region might disagree. rosemary. >> david, quickly, how potentially dangerous is all of this? >> well when you pour military assets into a disputed region look this. it could be very dangerous. there will be some incident. accidental or on purpose that can create a christmrisis. issues at play between the u.s. and china. their relationship. last count. 550 billion in two way trade between the two country. that still is the major relationship i think between china and the u.s. but as china flexes its muscles, militarily, the u.s. is clearly, showing a sign to allies that it is willing to step into the breach. and put its muscle out there in the south china sea. how it all end depend really on how the two powers react to ea

over to china. it has longingly -- it is long been known as one of the most smoker friendly countries in the world. today, that all changes. beijing attempting to change that with the harshest antismoking rules ever seen in china. it is going to affect a lot of smokers. reporter: a lot. -- if youlook, if you go to any restaurant or bar, you have a pretty good chance of seeing or smelling a cloud of smoke in a lot of places because it is a very common habit here in china. in cultural terms, even offering a cigarette to an acquaintance is considered to be polite. refusing a cigarette is actually considered to be rude. beijing says this needs to change and they need to take massive action. the citywide ban is seen as a trial run for a national law. what this blanket ban will include his public places such as work, school, hotels, public transport, airports even. inmore smoking lounges historic tourist spots as well. overall havechina lighter bands already. this is the strictest one. the biggest did --

and the philippines, but other countries, and china has disputes with japan in the north china sea as well, and we need to settle this diplomatically and peacefully without any further confrontation or any other actions that could inflame the situation such as the creation of what appears to be military bases and air trips on these islands. >> is that china's goal? >> well china, as you can see, is building a huge airfield there, and has many military-type ships there. they are essentially creating a military base and extending much further south from their border, which would make it possible for instance for china to assert more control over the other islands in dispute, and to challenge the fishing vessels or military ships or cargo ships from the other countries. >> what do you make of what happened aboard that u.s. spy plane that was flying over china with jim scuitto aboard? what do you make of that exchange? >> obviously china is trying to assert its authority and it declared this to be part of their air defense territory and basically warning all other military planes to give

to the chairman who i admire greatly, you mentioned china. let me mention china. china makes wide body jets that are getting into the wide-body jet business big-time. china makes about everything we're make. boeing makes 787's in south carolina and washington. g.e. makes gas turbines in greenville, south carolina, mostly sold through ex-im financing to the developing world. if you're worried about china stepping in, if we don't have this great trade deal, here's what i'm worried about -- that if our bank expires then the market share that we have today because we have competitive financing goes away and the biggest beneficiary of closing down the bank is china. i'm not going to subject american manufacturers to trying to sell their products overseas without ex-im financing when all their competitors have an ex-im bank. as a matter of fact, china's bank is bigger than the united states france, england and germany combined. airbus great airplane. france and germany have an ex-im bank. so an american manufacturer when it comes to wide-bodied aircraft or in i other pr

>> china and the south china sea is the last sea, last waters china can have. vietnam wants international society to criticize china. but china will not compromise to them because the south china sea is the vital interest for china because their target rival is united states not other countries. >> reporter: some american lawmakers are voicing their concern about china's action in the south china sea. congressman mike rogers is a senior member of the house armed services committee. he said the speed at which china is advancing is a threat that can't be ignored. and he emphasized the need for neighboring countries to work together. >> if we continue to work collaboratively and are successful our efforts to meet whatever effort they bring so they know ultimately it's not going to be successful in achieving the ends that they desire. >> reporter: taiwan's president says tensions must be eased. he's proposing a regional dialogue and a piece initiative that would include a code of conduct. european counsel president said china's activities would make it more difficu

china airspace. to think the prospect of another air zone is a real risk? >> eurozone countries have been discussing this. i believe i made my position quite plain to china, that they would be deeply concerned if they were to impose in arizona over the south china sea. australia made its position plane when such a zone was declared over the china sea. >> came to the position of foreign minister as islamic state was emerging as a serious threat to world stability. have you been surprised at their sudden rise? you consider it the greatest threat to global peace? >> i see it as the greatest national threat australia faces. in my travel overseas, europe or the united states, wherever i travel, the issue of isis is raised as a serious threat. i see the ideology as the most poisonous, barbaric ideology we have seen since the second world war. it is a significant threat when you think about 80 or 90 countries claiming their citizens are taking part in the conflict in iraq and syria on behalf of isis. it is

haslinda: specifically china? guest: china, indonesia, smaller countries as well. i think the whole of the asia-pacific has a lot of opportunities, as the economies are growing and more and more people are flying. right now asia-pacific represents one third of the world traffic. to represent much more and that they are going to -- they are going to represent much more than that. why there is a lot of interest in the asia-pacific region. we believe there are markets that are much more suitable for smaller aircraft that can be much more efficient to fly around. haslinda: what potential do you see in markets like india and indonesia, where more and more people have more money? there are moving away from taking the train and they are now flying. what kind of growth potential do you see? guest: these are the reasons we are looking at them to give an example. a letter able in these countries -- a lot of people in these countries, a lot of violence. there is a need for aircraft. india, they have a very poor infrastructure. and a huge country. these are the opportunities t

arnold: there is a lot of work to be done in china. we have to have ports developed so the chinese guests have destinations to go to. but the reality is that it is a good market already today. we have four ships there. three on our castle line, one on our princess line. both brands are profitable. the chinese government has declared, through their five-year economic plan, their intention to develop a cruise industry. so that means a lot of things will happen relatively quickly. we want to be there to help make it happen in a way that we think will help the chinese government establish the cruise industry they want, that will be sustainable for years to come. betty: so how often are you there now? arnold: i have been on the job a year and a half or so, and i have already made five trips to china. so it's a very active market under development. it's going to take some time. we are very happy with what we have today. but we see it someday being as large as any cruise market in the world. betty: donald says carnival is focusing on the one

in 97 china points, china points to the u.s. that it would not begin new nuclear projects in iran. 2011 worldwide threat assessment by the director of national intelligence listed national proliferation is a concern at that point. and 2011 the same threat assessment said north korea and entities in russia and china continue to sell technologies and component the middle east south asia buyer julia simkins for wmd and missile programs. the 2015th statement did not include similar language. could you give us again a highlight of your perception outcome in your assessment on the current proliferation activity in the region china is initiated between iran specifically north korea. >> that is just not an area that also the purview of the retail with. the issue in terms of chinese sec committees and other parts of the world were properly falls under the state department. >> thank you here mr. secretary. >> i guess that is me. first to be clear, in 1997 agreement was about official chinese government support to the kiddies, research and

china has tremendous china has tremendous challenges and issues more than we do. they need to read their whole economy. they are working to do that so you can make as big a mistake exaggerating the strength as underestimating it so that's putting it into perspective and i think the administration has done a day job that is comparable to what we have had for some time. i think we need to recalibrate now this is a different china and it's going to be more difficult and it's important to get those done. you have seen the leaders in previous stages and so the personality for trails of the other leaders including the current president are so fascinating. as uss their ability to handle the normandy of the economic reform challenges the corruption charges into the other things they face. in the recent chinese history tell me about your relationship and why you think he was such a pivotal character. >> that is a great question because the first chapter in the first scene he the reason we have so much respect is he was a pioneer in terms of writing reforms and they are nev

deficit in terms of china? china? and as a part is having read 1 billion customers in china inc., and knowing how under those authors u.s. companies really work -- really were taking a beating especially cellular companies and companies like at&t and motorola that establish the infrastructure but then they were kicked out in terms of maintenance contracts and it was kind of a mess. i think there's one company we say that was find $165 million. so doing this is very difficult and i just wondered, you know what your perspective is unchanged? >> you couldn't see out of my last question, brevity is not my virtue so i will try -- [laughter] as funny but not that funny. [laughter] >> so let's start with the deficit. i say that even with our deficit problem and fixing our endowments is usually important to the comments i made earlier in terms of restoring our economic strength. and i think it's something the chinese points to, the world looks to. if we want to continue to be a superpower years into the future, that's somethi

japan occupied china, fought china cup bombed china, tanks troops. who was supplying japan with all that equipment? united states. you will see quotes in the book that it didn't matter if china was lost to the united states. china had no resources that the u.s. couldn't get somewhere else and japan was by far america's number one -- so the japanese military was going into china and was fueled by american oil and american steel. in 1938 the song family and chiang kai-shek thought they had a way to get the japanese out art of china. they established a china lobby organization in downtown manhattan two blocks from the public library. it was a china lobby organization that was staffed by american missionaries and as a front man they had henry stimson who is called the first washington wise man. henry simpson was former secretary of state secretary of war. he was a wise man genius of the 1930s. so this committee seem to have an american front but it was funded by china lobby money from the songs then chiang kai-shek. this propagandize the united states. e

we will take a look at what is going on in china with the people's bank of china. it is said to be instructing other banks not to offer high deposit rates even though it raised the ceiling. that seems to be the latest sign policymakers are struggling to stimulate what has been described as a altering economy. stephen engle's looking at this. people--stephen: familiar with the situation says we may have to take this with a grain of salt because of the slowing economy. this is what we know. thef monday, the pboc for third time since november, cut the key lending rate and the deposit rate but raised the ceiling, allowing banks to raise rates to attract savers and give them a better rate on deposits. but we are learning from people close to the central bank that pboc is instructing banks to hold off on setting their own deposit rates. we know the pboc in the past, including the governor, has said that deposit rate reform and removing the cap altogether is one of the riskiest forms of rate liberalization in china. he did say that could happen in the next couple of years

the first tory i tell is about china telecom. the first major ipo restructuring that china and did. when i worked with goldman sachs and the germans on deutsche telekom that is between six or eight years. when they want to act they move quickly in it was done in six months. it was extraordinary but it was of vehicle he was a master all these transactions lead to the bigger picture iran would use those to open china to more competition just like he used the succession with the wto. >> reminds me with my first trip to new china. to go into red china and then after a stop in shanghai we had a stop in alaska and ronald reagan tells me about the so-called capitalist. he saw a different side of china which has had an evolution over many years now. clearly into that capitalist model but yet they still feel the government itself is stealing intellectual property with the cyberattacks so how do you reconcile that attitude to the international marketplace? >> let's step back to understand what china is and is not. the current president is very, very direct and makes no mistake about communica

-china relation with the u.s.-china civilian nuclear cooperation agreement. the current agreement, as you pointed out, is set to expire on december 30 of this year. it it was signed 30 years ago by president reagan. it's interesting to point out that the implementation of that agreement had to wait for 13 years because of the senate conditions on china's proliferation activities and then because of the aftermath of the tiananmen square massacre. upfront, i want to indicate i am supportive of the development of a nuclear power. it remains a smart and effective way for the united states to achieving independence and to reduce our carbon emissions. u.s. nuclear cooperative agreements with other countries provide the united states a number of important benefits. first and foremost, the 1-2-3 agreement can help implement our proliferation subjectives -- objectives, including ensuring nuclear technology material are never misused for military purposes. it will be an issue i expect our committee will want to explore. second, these agreements are critical for maintai
