michael: being the end goal for xi jinping is to make sure that all parts of china's corporate sector, especially the private sector, are aligned behind his agenda. and for the thinking about the large e-commerce companies, they are really caught in the cross was between those two key priorities. what is the shift from consumer focused technology to so-called hard tech, like semi conductors that beijing believes are critical to u.s.-china competition or where they need to reduce the reliance on the u.s. the other aspect is seeking things growing focus on -- xi jingping's focus on addiction and worried about demographic issues. the large e-commerce platforms especially are really hit by both of these factors that have taken a leg up over the last three to four months romaine: i'm curious about the long-term goal paid we get to the idea that china has always been or in recent years been a communist country. and even though we sort of had free market principles that guided the way for the growth of this economy over the last few decades, at its heart the we embrace of that communism seem

larry lindsay telling me yesterday on "sunday morning futures" about xi jinping's control of business today. watch this. >> what xi is all about is control. his predecessors tended to focus on wealth creation. that's not what he's interested in. he wants to assure the dominance of the communist party. maria: there was a movement to push back on investors investing in chinese companies, particularly those to tied to the chinese military to fund the ccp's expansion. your thoughts. >> investors should, you know, watch their own money, and anyone putting their money in china should take a close rook at what happened -- look at what happened to jack ma. he was disappeared for three months, their version of canceled, and then since then he has lost half of his fortune, half. and that was basically eight months ago. so that's what's going to happen to your money soon orer or -- sooner or later if you invest it in china. maria: joining me now is gatestone institute senior fellow gordon chang author of "the great u.s./china tech war." gordon, thanks very much for being here. let's talk about w

xi jinping ambitions are beyond just economic supremacy. he has made it clear he wants china to be the number one superpower not just economically but militarily as well, a threat but militarily as well, a threat equa but militarily as well, a threat equa but militarily as well, a threat equa before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn... claire could only imagine enjoying chocolate cake. now, she can have her cake and eat it too. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ monitor, check and lock down you money with security from chase. control feels good. chase. make more of what's yours. maria: xi jinping has been moving full speed ahead in advancing china's military capabilities and the national security threat to the united states is massive. >> they are the fastest growing military in the world. the national security strategy as penned by president trump and his national security team said that china represents a long-

president xi jinping is looking and is determined to reach those developmental and economic goals by the end of the year. we already see the impact of the regulatory squeeze around the margins. a bold call in the u.s. from ubs global wealth management as to the outlook of the s&p 500. the target for ubs is 5000 by the end of 2022. this is the cio. it is worth noting the chart illustrates the divergent views as to the target, the forecast for the s&p 500. on the back, optimists are suggesting the support from the fed and continued economic resilience despite the mixed data will support continued upside. the earnings have been strong out of the u.s. we did hear from callister's yesterday that may be valuations were looking a little bit choppy. there was a mixed view, a divergence between those forecasts. about 26% in the gap. optimists looking at 5000. the more nuanced, pessimistic views, the bearish views looking at 3800 for the s&p 500. that is the call for ubs, 5000 by the end of 2022 for the s&p 500. we were talking about the picture in asia. you did have the rate rise by the bank

companies may look good now, we're not sure that these business models will survive what xi jinping has planned for the retooling of the economy i'm not sure that just sitting back trying to survive the on sl slaugt looking for the bottom is a good strategy because the bottom may not exist >> we heard kathy wood say earlier this week her memory would be seared about the fact that china nationalized the sector that said, we know the agenda. it's 1950s america it's encouraged child bearing and put families first and anything that makes the cost of living too high or interferes with those goals is subjugated to them. to me it would seem a platform like alibaba, won't they ultimately become utility like in the sense that i don't see why they themselves would be some direct threat to this goal that china has to increase its population growth. so, could investors at some point just say, listen, they've fallen but they're not going anywhere and that maybe the upside is capped but so is the down side. >> i think that's a good way to think about it, kelly. but let me toss out one thing that

i think it's not the case that xi jinping is afraid of large companies. well comes. he created some of the largest companies in the world, top five banks in the world are all chinese. so they're not afraid of size. they want faster growth rate, better productivity, more foreign capital, and they're succeeding on all these fronts. there's an interesting document floating around now that suggests, it's about $2.3 trillion, that's a t, trillion, in private equity and other of kinds of investment from the top 50 u.s. firms and banks looking back over the last 15 years. so in addition to the wall street coverage of the stock exchanges where you have a roughly 1.1 trillion in equities that americans own, there's this other private equity market, other kinds of investment going into china which is just enormous and the chinese are very much focused on you how to do this. they have a lot -- they have army of lobbyists. they know which ceos are dependent on chinese profits and they know the president, whether trump or biden. they continue to make sure they get the golden goos

i will offer that xi jinping is seeing a big change as well. he is becoming more crony and. they have become the most oppressive estate in the history of the world. 320,000 students who came to the u.s. were forced to have the chinese monitor them here. while you are here whether you are a student or a researcher and you get a call from security asking you to do something for them, you are going to do it. so, whatever we see -- as much as we see a change in the wants of the chinese young people to get internet, the quicker we see that, the quicker the chinese communist party disallows them to have internet. >> thank you, chairman. mr. chairman, i want to start by thanking you for not just holding this hearing, but or the focus of the into -- for the focus of the intelligence committee attention on this subject. i have been on the committee for three years. what i'm about to say, i did not know before i had the benefit of the hearings we have had. that is that the chinese communist party, the chinese government, will use any means illicit or -- illicit --licit or illicit to p

emily: this is part of a broader agenda for resident xi jinping. even this seems former prescriptive than some other crackdowns the chinese government has made. why is this happening? >> i think the chinese communist party are reminding themselves and the global market of an important and often overlooked fact. they are communists. communists in general are not friendly to capital. and neither are they shy about intervening in the economy and indeed as tom giles mentioned, intervening in individual choices, children individual lives in ways at which more democratic governments would bulk. the key question here as tom mentioned is not what impacts does the three hours of gaming restriction have on tencent, the question is what is the broader agenda here? how far will china's government, china's commonest party we willing to go in their interventions in the economy, interventions in people's lives as they attempt to move the dial away from the investors and entrepreneurs, toward what they see as the interest of households, workers and families. emily

we heard from president xi jinping out of china, saying they are going to continue anti-monopoly working. that is still very much the key question that any kind of full looking to buy china tech is wondering what is going on. david: for sure, and it is a moving target, a moving concept in fact. george soros thinks don't buy this dip because we are moving into an era, the spirit of what he said, something we haven't seen. if you look at what happened decades back, did not have a soft market to react to this. you can read about that exact quote you see on your screen. yvonne: there are so many terms out there, third distribution, secondary risks, all this new vocabulary we have to have an explanation for. let's get more on the dovish pmi numbers with our chief asia economic correspondence. worse than expected. >> a pretty bad number. at one point, two thirds of china's economy was covered by these aggressive measures to control the virus. mass testing, containment, travel curbs, and that will have an impact on people eating out, spending, traveling. car sales were already 45% low pre-pande

there was a widespread circulated commentary in state media that essentially hailed xi jinping's regulatory crackdown is a profound revolution sweeping the nation. they are targeting industries that really don't fit in with socialist values. online gaming is a theme, at least through state media, as being what some of the comments were spiritual opium and electronic drugs. those are the descriptions that were later scrubbed from state media, but it shows you the level of anger, if you will, from regulators and the government perhaps even as high as xi jinping about the moral decay coming from videogames. regulators are now saying those under 18 years of age can only spend online videogame playing three hours a week. friday night from 8:00 until 9:00, saturday, the same timeframe, and sunday, as well as public holidays. three hours a week. there will be a lot of angry teenagers in china, but this is part of the overall regulatory crackdown coming from high up in china. tom: a lot of time slots for gaming. thank you very much indeed. ok, joining us now is our guest. monica, how are you lookin

maria: maybe but xi jinping and colleagues want to overtake the united states as superpower. they use 2020 to gain more ground. invaded india, they went to hong kong and throwing all the freedom fighters in jail. they have xixang, they are committing genocide. you're jamie dimon. people look at you for leadership. you're going to go in there and open up shop now and expand your operations in china after what we know about the ccp? >> we've had plans for like 30 years of going to china and unfortunately we just said -- you can say about a lot of countries around the world. we follow american foreign policy. american foreign policy wants a jp morgan to properly expand to serve american companies and other companies and to be part of that. if at the point in time they died that they don't want to do, we simply will not do it. it's not every company can do whatever it wants. some of the things are terrible. you're barking up the wrong tree. maria: you know that they don't have to adhere to u.s. accounting standards, they don't have to now until 2023, how can you justify investing

lisa: what are potential regulatory measures that you expect the pboc to consider an xi jinping to signal? leland: i think the most important thing will be signaling a continued pull away from a reliance on the united states or the west. all the headlines of the past couple of years h -- the past couple of years have been how the u.s. is considering throwing china off its markets and other aspects of the relationship. would beijing has to signal is that china can go its own way. that is not completely true, but that is the signal he has to be sending. china can do its own way as they enter a very politically sensitive near next year. jonathan: i am trying to understand what is happening on the ground in the country at the moment, and i am not getting a lot of information. the spread of the delta variant supposedly from the airport in nanjing and the restrictions we are starting to see, what are you hearing? leland: we have a china beige book covid tracker. we ask our corporate networks, we saw the spike in guangdong two weeks before was announced affecting the ports with shutdowns. there

xi jinping said this back in 2018, at the sector should not be for-profit. the east -- the issue is the opaqueness of china's policy process. it is very difficult for global investors to gauge whether those words become actions or stay a sort of catchphrases in the county's party speeches. -- in the communist party speeches. this is not like investing in america or europe where you can follow the policy process through reading the financial pages and the political pages. it becomes very difficult. i guess the one key messages -- having one -- having investment goals lined with the commonest parties goals might make it a little less rocky. but it is tough to navigate. rishaad: malcolm, great stuff. malcolm scott there, our asia economics managing editor. to the u.s. economy, the fed as a new warning that this latest wave of the delta variant in america could really take its toll on economic growth. really also looking at what is happening with the jobs market. of course, we get the payrolls at the end of the week. this economist told us about the spread -- ab

the other part is xi jinping has consolidated his grasp on power. we are headed toward a party congress, where we think it is very likely xi jinping will get another tenure as president. so we think he has an ability to move forward this agenda. in the last couple of years, beijing has been busy. a trade war with the trump administration, then the pandemic. they may have wanted to do this earlier, but did not have time to get to it until now. haidi: it is interesting, in terms of his playbook. we know the crackdown on corruption, the vested interest is something that has worked out very well and popularly for him. >> the crackdown on corruption, there has been criticism that it has been used as a weapon against political enemies. to the rank and file in china, it has been a smashing success. the threat, the risk of corruption, the per valence has diminished greatly in the last 10 years as he was president. so it has made him quite popular. it's given him the ability to get the grasp on power and move forward with fairly controversial ideas. the crac

but investors are hanging on every word by xi jinping. what are we hearing from the committee meeting now? >> you're talking about the silk street market. the call that the north fake market, because there is a lot of north face. i was there 30 some years ago. it is all closed down now and piracy often goes down online. they officially reveal a host of measures to deepen reforms and his agenda and top of the list is fighting monopolies. he stressed the importance of strengthening anti-monopoly regulation and it's definitely an indication that this crackdown that surfaced almost a year ago wiping hundreds of billions of dollars, that this is deepening. also, battling pollution and shoring up strategic reserves is also top of the list. >> steve engle has been covering china for a long time. for more analysis on china's crackdown particularly on its tech giant, china and big tech available online bloomberg technology. that's the channel on youtube. let's turn to japan for the prime minister wants to dissolve the lower house of parliament and

, but now you don't have to take it from xi jinping, you can take it from nike, you can take it from the nba, disney, the neutral arbiters of moral -- you can actually make a better box but they criticize the united states. but for china, they get something out of the trade, back to the mutual prostitution -- they never criticize justice over here. that creates a false equivalency between chinese nihilism and american idealism and chinese nihilism wins every time to thank you lebron james, disney, and be a peer that is the world we live in. that is what i call the birth of this woke industrial complex. it is a new leviathan, a new monster that is far more powerful than what thomas hobbes might have envisioned 400 years ago and it is the biggest threat to individual liberty today. it is not big government alone. think of the big government to the threat to individual liberty. it was in 1980, night, i cannot today. it is a hybrid of big government and big business, governments in china comingled with big business creating an actual threat to liberty and prosperity and it's really hard

president zelensky had his first conversation with xi jinping over the telephone and it was a very good call from both sides. president zelensky said ukraine has no better friend than china right now. i think this was done in part two put pressure on washington to look at relations with ukraine. the other thing i had to say is that with the debacle in kabul and the united states not seeing as a credible partner to guarantee security, a lot of these countries are reevaluating those security guarantees and looking for other partnerships. ukraine might even be looking more to the gulf countries to see what kind of new ties can be formed there. if i could say one other thing and this goes to the technicalities of the pipelines. the other problem ukraine has and is not talked about very much is with this realignment of gas transit, gas pressure in ukraine has the potential to fall very much. what that means practically during the wintertime's outlying villages may not get the required gas it needs because it has the potential to upset the whole infrastructure there. a lot of different vulner

if that were the video for a xi jinping am a joe biden summit, you could see the two leaders hashing out a lot of things there, potentially moving forward, be it trade talks, talks about hong kong or variable other things that are out there. haidi: in terms of pmi numbers, what does that tell us about how panicked we should be about the slowdown as we see the flareups in the eltel variant in china? -- the delta variant in china? john: there's obvious headwinds. you mentioned the delta variant, we have had more cases in july than we had the five months before combined. that's an obvious concern. but you see the politburo press forward with these regulatory tightening's. in some ways, it suggests policymakers are somewhat comfortable with the pace and trajectory of the economy. haidi: let's get to vonnie quinn with a first word headlines. vonnie: beijing will step up efforts to halt the spread of covid-19, including suspending flights, trains, and buses from regions with higher cases. the capital reported to local cases, one and a symptom attic case on sunday. in the eastern province h
