and if the chinese communist communist party was to do badly in a conflict existential survival questions take over for the in which case escalation even to involve weapons of mass destruction would enter into the equation. so the idea this is a limited conventional conflict on the high seas and the south china sea the taiwan straits or wherever is i think a logical nonsense the prospects of escalation are real. so why avoidable? hey, i think it's intellectually lazy for the commentariat including the policy commentariat to simply describe to people as a catastrophe coming. i'm not into that business, which is why i oppose, you know, meersheimer's view of the world, which is hyperrealism and and therefore we're kind of locked into the chariots of history here. not my view and there is reason for that which is that it's political leaders have agency. they have an ability to make decisions which actually change the course of history. it was not for mao or not for nixon and it wasn't for joan lyon wasn't for kissing you. guess what last 50 years would have been radically different. it wasn't

days, the propaganda documents of the chinese communist party rating still in recent years about the threat posed by these ideas to the attorneys cummings party notion of the legitimacy of political power now our should be distributed in society are the perception as well so these things in my view need to be in the minds of public policy makers rather than simply thinking that is all blank sheet of paper, salsa down and deal rationally with the issues of the day noik one in politics lie that domestically or internationally. >> will some of the points made make me want to ask you this question i'm looking at china as a foreign policy, one of the challenges in dealing with china internationally you really address head on his whip you call a predisposition and to maintain secrecy at all costs this propensity, you suggest reinforces an event china is untrustworthy and that it is nod truthful with his own people, cannot be trusted and i would add that we see china's comfort his struggling what looked into the west as some very divergence even contradictory international position contribu

with the tools to deter a chinese communist party aggression. i pray the biden administration will do the same thing. >> martha: you're not saying whether or not you would go so far to put american boots on the ground to defend taiwan? >> we put a lot of tools in the hands of taiwanese so they can do what we're describing today. speaker gingrich and i have this right. there's more to be done. you cannot wait until they take over to provide the tools. they're too big and they're too small. >> martha: thanks, mike pompeo. good to have you with us. now to something different. super model kate moss is going to testify. this will be quite interesting on behalf of johnny depp. amber heard said that johnny depp pushed kate moss down a staircase and she didn't want that to happen to her. so kate moss will respond to that on the stand. throughout history i've observed markets shaped by the intentional and unforeseeable. for investors who can navigate this landscape, leveraging gold, a strategic and sustainable asset... the path is gilded with the potenti

we have profound differences for the chinese communist party. we want to invest in research, development, manufacturing. our government spent more than twice as much as we do now. it is how we want the space race. we still rank first in the world , now we are not. meanwhile, china has risen to second place. we can reverse these trends and make the investments and resources like quantum computing. given america's advantages, the competition is ours to lose. not only in developing new technologies but also in how they are used around the world, not authoritarian ones. senator romney and others, including billions to improve semiconductors here and for supply chains. we can get this done. it cannot wait. supply chains are moving now. if we do not do them here it will be established somewhere else. as president biden has said, the chinese communist party is lobbying against this legislation because there's no better way to enhance our global standing and influence them to deliver on our domestic renewal. these investments will not only make america

all of these measures a part of beijing's crack down on chinese tech firms, as the communist party wants strict regulations. according to a law drafted by china's cyberspace watchdog, government bodies ought to be given access to social media algorithms, which uses will be able to turn off. the secrecy of social media algorithms has often been criticized also in the us and europe. but expos worried the new measures in china will lead to posts that favor the potty and its values being pushed. while politically dissident content will be sensitive even more. more state controlled so that online giants on the only ones profiting from the digital revolution is that the right approach or should it be we uses who have control over our own data in a traffic jam at a bus stop or embed wherever we are at online activities generate data, but what with the will look like if this data didn't flow mainly into the hands if take giants, what if it were being used for the good of society? i data could help plane pre fred trafficking, a kitchen where we need more public transport options and identifying w

i talked about the chinese communist party being a cancer inside the gates. you and i talked about this six years ago. 360,000 chinese students studying here. we shuttered the chinese consulate in houston, texas. they were running one of the largest spying operations conducted in the united states. the trump administration, we closed it down. we denied them the capacity to attend pta meetings, school board meetings, all they were doing here at home to run influence operations, this administration called us racist when we did this. the truth is what we were doing is protecting america from this very real threat of the chinese communist party here on american soil. if you can't do that, if you can't take on that simple task, your ability to confront what xi jinping has in store for the united states is something that he will see this weakness and he will drive a truck through it. >> laura: i need to turn to the border issue, which is very concerning to you as well. fox's bill melugin is reporting tonight that it took two weeks for ice to rearrest a suspected te

also, by this stage, uh, cnn was an accomplice to murder, according to the chinese communist party. because the state-run media test-floed thaheadline in a hong kong newspaper as it happens, during a big conference with a lot of cnn head honchos in hong kong. jan: i see no evidence that lisa was involved in the immolations. this accusation floated in chinese press seems instead like it could be a scare tactic, an attempt to deter lisa ancnn from pursuing the story. cnn was taking tt allegation very serioly. not that they believed it but, you know, they were taking e reality seriously that maybe the bureau would be closed down, maybe we'd all be kicked out of china and cnn would have no presence. cnn had told us to not even talk to the other reporters. it's unlikely that their true identities will ever be independently confirmed. jason: but one foreign correspondent continued to pursue the self-immolation story. in an article entitled human fire ignites chinese mystery, washington post journalist philip pan reported unual findingsfromw of the alleged immolators, kaifeng city. pan vis

as president biden said, the chinese communist party is lobbying against this legislation. because there is no better way to enhance our global standing and influence than to deliver on our domestic renewal. these investments will not only make america stronger, they'll make us a stronger partner and ally as well. one of the most powerful even manageable things about the united states is that we belong, been a destination for talented driven people from every part of the planet. that includes billings of students from china, enriched our communities, and forced lifelong bonds with americans. last year, despite the pandemic, we issued more than $100000.00 baez's chinese students in just 4 months. our highest rate ever were thrilled that they've chosen to study in the united states. we're lucky to have and we're lucky, one, the best global talent, not only studies here, but stays here as more than 80 percent of chinese students who pursue science and technology, ph. d.

the chinese communist party has become more repressive at home and or aggressive abroad. shery: let's get more from our senior reporter. very direct words coming from the top u.s. diplomat. what was the purpose of this? >> the purpose was to outline the u.s. policy toward china. this speech has been long-awaited. he was meant to deliver it earlier this month before joe biden went to asia. he came down with covid and had to delay it. the thing he is trying to do is balance a number of different priorities. they're trying to continue the trump era toughness on china bipartisan recognition that china is a major strategic competitor. at the same time, acknowledging that the world's two largest economies are incredibly interlinked. the u.s. needs china on climate change and a bunch of other issues including the war in ukraine and support for russia. there's a bunch of things going on and it was a laundry list of the accomplishments so far. policies to rejuvenate america at home. he did not want to look like he was being soft on china at a time when tensions are high over human

after a 2 year hiatus, put on by the pandemic, who was communist party and government spared no effort to make this annual may day march. one to remember healthcare workers lived the parade in front of revolutionary leader. and i will castro, the still influential former president and his chosen successor miguel diaz cornell standing side by side as a symbol of continuity there with a familiar chance of loyalty to deceased leader fidel castro and against the u. s. government decades, wrong economic embargo against cuba. little so we will defend our socialism as we have for 61 years for fidel and raoul was one of the 100 the in the world. and that's no mark the international workers day like this. but make no mistake. there's very little for the average salary worker in this country to celebrate right now because this countries with no more speaker nomic depression to in it history, intensified u. s. economic sanctions. the pandemic and monetary reform that has sharply reduced worker's purchasing power had led to soaring inflation and unleashed the largest exodus of cubans since 1980. y

we have profound differences for the chinese communist party. the chinese government, but those differences are between governments and systems, not between our people. the american people have great respect for the chinese people. we respect their achievements, their history, their culture. we deeply value the friendship and family that can access and we sincerely wish for our governments to work together on issues that matter to their lives and to the lives of americans in the lives of people around the world. there is another poor source of national strength that we will be relying on in this decisive decade. our democracy. a hundred years ago, if asked what constitutes the wealth of the nation, we might lose the expense of our lands, the size of our population, the strength of our military, the abundance of our natural resources. and thankfully, we still have all of those attributes. but more than ever, and the 21st century, the true wealth of the nation is found in our people, the human resources and our ability to unleash their full potent

i talkeded about the chinese communist party being a cancerut inside the gates. you and i talked about this six years ago three or sixty thousand chinese students studying here. we shuttereded the chinese consulate in houston, texas. they were hurting one of the largest spying operations ever conducted inside the united states america. the trump administration . ed we closed it down. we we've denied them the capacity to do what they were trying to do to attend pta meetings, school board meetings, all the things they were doing here at home to run influence operations inside of our country. this administration just they called us racists when they did this law. to be honest with you,g the truth is what we were a doio is we were protecting america from this very real threat ofco the chinese communist party here a in america. i and so if you can't do that ,t if you can't take on that simple task, your ability to actually confront what she's doing i think has in store for the united states is something he'll he'll see s this weaknessh law and he'll drive a truck thro

we don't see that often when it comes to the chinese communist party. bloomberg is hearing that the president is adamant about the covid zero policy and maintaining it but the premier, perhaps like the rest of the world is calling for a better balance between covid controls and economic growth. according to the bloomberg sources, this is leading to policy paralysis. what are we hearing? >> [indiscernible] shery: do you have us? what are you hearing from the ground in china? >> as you mentioned, it is confusion that exists. the premier had a pretty rare video call this week with thousands of cadres across the nation down to the county level so the people implementing the policies. he urged them to focus on economic growth and hid these targets. -- and hit these targets. the calculation is, who is in charge? the president or the premier? all indications are that xi will be around longer than le. the calculation is still getting rid of covid cases before you start ramping up economic projects. this is partly a self interested dynamic for everyone who is lo

but i saw socially that by the communist party continues to say that the state controlled sector will say the economy and it's not true. the young people all want to leave a blast all hope by like, i'm better than other cubans are expected to take part in the may day, march and are generally brought here in their place of work. but like any mix, there are those who say they still believe in cuba system. i either because i am convinced that this is the country that i want to defend. that's why i'm here to support my leadership and my people. and doing these hard times, this march clearly aimed to send a message to domestic and foreign opponents. the cuban government is still able to mobilize large numbers of its peak to see a newman, al jazeera havana. now a territorial dispute that there to violence against indigenous activists in the southern philippines has highlighted the dangers faced by environmental defenders. please say the group as trespassing and ignored a warning shot as to mil allen, dog and reports. now from booking non province. the activists want the next administration

after a 2 year hiatus put on by the pandemic, cubic communist party and government spared no effort to make this annual may day march 1. to remember, his co workers lit the parade in front of revolutionary leader and i will castro, the still influential former president and his chosen successor miguel diaz cannon standing side by side as a symbol of continuity there with the familiar chance of loyalty to decease leader . fidel castro and against the u. s. government decades wrong economic embargo against cuba. her. what so? so we will defend our socialism as we have for 61 years for fidel and raoul was one of the 100 the, in the world events, no mark the international workers today like this. but make no mistake. there's very little for the average salary worker in this country to celebrate right now because this country is with no more speaker nomic depression to in a 2 story boring inflation and unleashed the largest exodus of cubans since 1980. he sig, on the sand. okay. line, but i saw socially that the communist party continues to say that the state controlled sector will say the

there's a lobbying effort going on, the chinese communist party have a big lobbying effort going on. but we are confident that we will be able to pass the bill. hopefully we can do so in time to celebrate our new independence on the fourth right now, there's a lobbying effort going on, the chinese communist party have a big lobbying effort going on. but we are confident that we will be able to pass the bill. hopefully we can do so in time to celebrate our new independence on the fourth of july. again, we have an expeditious timeline. but we're hoping that will work. as we gather, we are pleased that the senate will soon follow the house's lead in passing the $40 billion supplemental funding bill for ukraine. this funding will make an immediate and substantial difference in ukraine's fight with funds for security, weapons, humanitarian assistance, food, making -- giving them the opportunity to sell their food abroad, humanitarian assistance also to , get food to people who need it in ukraine, economic assistance, and also, all of this, to combat putin's brutality. but part of it being

party would like to say? leland: if you assume the second quarter is in construction, the question is what are they going to do the second half of the year. without rolling back covid lockdowns or covid zero lockdowns if they need them, to get the gdp somewhere in a range that they can claim, i think the new calculus is we are going to get to the fourth quarter, we are going to hope there's no covid, and announce 5% gdp for the fourth quarter and try to get somewhere between 3% and 4% for the year. then i think markets will say that's not too bad. we are not on track for anywhere near that. you have to have a lot more support for the economy and a lot less covid lockdowns for the economy in order for us to get anywhere near that ballpark amount. but i think that is the story they want to tell. lisa: what are we on track for based on the data? leland: with the second quarter as we get is it is, if you try to do any type of linear projection you are under 2%. you have to see a lot more support for the economy,

party in north korea. there should be a massive red flag for our colleagues across the aisle that our compassion for the unborn ranks right up there at the people's republic of china and north korea but they don't see the end parent of lost innocent lives the extent to which the democratic party continues to have suchas radical policies never ceases to amaze me. as shocking as this legislation is it's not entirely new it failed to pass the senate once this year could not earn the support of all 50 democratic senators failed on a 46 / 48 line vote. democrats have not made any changes moving the needle in their direction. i simply do not agree the american people want abortion laws in our country to put us on par with the chineset communist party and north korea. two of the world's most agreed aggressive human rights abusers. america cannot be it's best if we do not value the lives of our most vulnerable. i believe babies, fellow human beings with heartbeats, fingerprints just like the rest of us deserve pro

party. it's not the economy we're talking about. the chinese people are, may want to believe that their rise is peaceful and it is certainly true that their rise is a mega trend for our century. but they are also rewriting status quo. look, for instance, what they're doing each and every day in east asia. in e, in the east, tennessee, and in the south china sea, they are provoking territorial integrity of japan, the philippines, and vietnam's all the time, every day, without exception here, it's not something that you could call piece good. and coming back to the economic framework, ah, belt and road initiative is a china centric initiative. whereas t p. p. and did the i pair are open to the endo pacific a member into pacific regions member nations. and they are setting the highest the possible standard. i in order for china to catch up with i think it might be fair to give victor gough a chance to come back in. i'm sure you have something to say about what our last to guess had to say i'll,

party government. just a few hours ago, australia's labor party leader, anthony albanese, was sworn in as the country's new prime minister. the ceremony was brought forward to enable him to fly to tokyo for that meeting with the leaders of the quad group, which includes the us, japan and india. but before he left, he gave his first press conference, where he was asked about australia's relationship with china. the relationship with china will remain a difficult one. i said that before the election, that has not changed. it is china that has changed, not australia and australia should always stand up for our values and we will in a government that i lead. let's get the latest on that story from our correspondent, phil mercer whojoins me now from sydney. interesting that the prime minister has been sworn in yet we still don't know the shape of the nature of the government here or whether it will be a majority government? this here or whether it will be a majority government? this is an interim measure, _

all of these measures are part of beijing's crack down on chinese tech firms, as the communist party wants strict regulations. according to a law drafted by china's cyberspace watchdog, government bodies ought to be given access to social media algorithms, which uses will be able to turn off. the secrecy of social media algorithms has often in criticized, also in the us and europe. but expos worried the new measures in china will lead to posts that favor the potty and its values being pushed. while politically dissident content will be sensitive even more, more state controlled, so that online shines on the only ones profiting from the digital revolution. is that the right approach? or should it be? we use us who have control over our own data in a traffic jam at a bus stop or embed wherever we are online activities generate data. but what with the will look like if this data didn't flow mainly into the hands if take giants, what if it were being used for the good of society? data could help when prefer trafficking a kitchen where we need more public transport options and identifying

so that's good, he was distinguishing between the government and the party, communist party and the people. i thought it could be more nuanced because he presented it all in a very negative way. and to the chinese people that is not the case. chinese people that is not the case. chinese people that is not the case. chinese people see that the government and the party has eliminated extreme poverty in china, a remarkable development. xijinping said that was his most important piece of business over a period of time. there could have been more nuanced in terms of understanding the relationship between the people and the government. because we don't want to inflame nationalism, which is a disease which most countries have. , . ~ , is a disease which most countries have. , a , ., ., is a disease which most countries have. , , ., ., i. is a disease which most countries have. , ., , have. very quickly, how do you see this playing — have. very quickly, how do you see this playing out. — have. very quickly, how do you see this playing out, do _ have. very quickly, how do you see this playing o

was talking about the chinese communist party the way biden talks about it today and that was four years of tough on china policy and if you go back to the obama administration and with the vice president of china and during the obama administration of the relationship at what you see and is hunter facilitating the auto manufacturer to china and by the way the chinese company that bought the auto manufacturer they may chinese military jets also trade, ip theft everything that trump was talking about the militarization of the south china sea, to opm hats of all the critical information of people within our government with security clearance and finally look at the infiltration of the chinese communist party under president obama and vice president biden and again he was given a china portfolio with the infiltration of hollywood and we see things like the confucius centers on campus. all of this happened while biden was in charge of china. steve: exactly. a great run down. now let's get down about your visit to ukraine what have you seen and what is happening? >> thank you for having me. i

the ruling chinese communist party has become more aggressive at home and abroad. dani: they call them the moser's challenge to international order in washington will seek to influence their order by influencing the world around them. they have their own issues. let's dig into it with jinny yan , strategy and economic stat icbc. jinny: the pressure is on. never have we seen this kind of uncertainty about china's economic growth. there is definitely a lot of debate internally with what is the pathway ordered? -- pathway forward? with figures telling us that not only now but in the coming months will see continued pressure, and a negative rate, that data in particular on top of that statistic coming in in april tells us that every part of the economy is seen pressure in that debate has been intensified. i think going forward investors will be keen to see where it directionally china is heading. manus: good to have you in the studio. i want to know whether you use urgency which reflects on growth. do you think they are in panic mode but is it that would say to you tha

members of the chinese communist party however, i think we have to slow down, because we have seen no signs that the elite members of the chinese communist party are in any way looking to replace xi jinping. and i certainly don't think a stepdown if that were to happen would be happening any time before the party congress in the fall but i will say, melissa, that xi jinping has been enshrined in the party documents as the core. so when i hear some of these statements about stepping down, what's important for the viewers to understand is there's a secondary question and that is stepping down from what xi jinping has three positions, the president of china, the general secretary of the communist party and the chairman of the central military commission and it's those latter two that is the extreme power, not being the president of china and i don't see him stepping down from either of those, certainly not general secretary and chairman of the military commission so i think xi is well on his way to a third term. but there will be some pushback in terms of his policies that has caused thi
