and every time friend of mine is, you know, we, we respect china on the 6th just against china. we were really, we were a big by one china policy, but every time that's why he's on to other people. he sounds different. so, so that's really, you know, made china kind of difficult to understand. but also i think that your great thing is really serviceable by to the people of all the hello. well, the nato, us, ross, you because you see why one, sorry, d and terms are in term. it is why that's really good because national condemnation and criticism, i mean highways recognized by 16070 countries of china. that's the conditional is done. the diplomatic ties was done is paulo john. so john national sovereignty and territories that we should use that same as you claim. so i think china, you know, a hold of principal. ringback us to the hold on because we're not against you praying for those, those really by not i was the tree she recycle already and sounds are in jeopardy of china, which i think, you know, yours is not really doing well on that really cause a lot of asset, those look go

we don't seek to block china from its role as a major power, nor to stop china or any other country for that matter, from growing their economy or advancing the interests of their people. but we will defend and strengthen the international law agreements, principles, institutions that maintain peace and security, protect the rights of individuals and sovereign nations, and make it possible for all kinds, including the united states and china, to co exist and cooperate. china is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international water. and increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it. visions vision would move us away from the universal values that have sustained so much of the world's progress over the past 75 years. china's foreign ministry denounced lincoln's remarks as typical disinformation denigrating beijing. would you rather her, would you, the international order and international rules have clear definitions? china proposes that all country should uphold the un centered international system of safeguard the international ord

so i think people are still going to be in china, but i think i think the thinking about china has changed even in germany where it, which is always, which is very, very involved, heavily invested in china, is also now looking at things like we saw volkswagen recently is looking at quite closely at the united states america. that's right. no. so people are thinking, it's less is less of a sort of a, a focus on china that to was so ultimately it, they will, the economy will come back, but maybe in a different way. all right, my colleague did businesses, clifford coon and thank you very much. and we go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. we prices continue to rise after india impose to ban on exports, the world's 2nd largest weak producer after china had filled a gap in markets, left by falling output from ukraine, but halted exports after domestic inflation search to its highest level in 8 years . on the back of rising food prices and rising prices have germans on edge. according to a new survey, high inflation is the main worry for consumers even topping the

in china. as the global food crisis threaten peoples worldwide, we look to china to help with the global response. last week at the united nations, the united states convened a meeting with foreign minister's to strengthen global food security. we extended the invitation to china to join and we will continue to do so. as the world's economy recovers from the devastation of the pandemic, global macroeconomic coordination between china is key between the g20, imf, and bilaterally. that comes with the territory of being the world's two largest economies. in short, we will engage construction over china wherever he can. not as a favor to us or anyone else, and never in exchange of walking away from our principles, but working together to celebrate challenges is what the world expects. and because it's directly in our interest. no country should withhold process on existential transnational issues because of bilateral differences. the scale and the scope of the challenge posed by the people's republ

people look at china, china's a authoritarian state, taiwan is a democracy and china has designs on taiwan. they will do the same the russia did ukraine. you get the deepening sense of this alarming threat posed by these types of states when in fact, the calculations, the stakes involved, the interests involved in these two cases are quite different. it is a gross simplification and a distortion of the reality to simply apply what is going on ukraine to the chinese today in taiwan. it has, of course, in some ways, reinforced the image of china and russia being aligned with each other. they are in certain respects. china has not come out and full throat of the endorsed the nato position about the nato -- nature of the war even though china very much opposes invasions of sovereign countries by other countries. china, however does not want to come out openly and reject russia. it does not also want to come out and fully endorse what russia has done, support russia, and try to prevent the west from pressuring russia. >> michael brought up taiwan. this is playing a role right now when it comes

full of china. and they will not serve the fundamental interest of the american people to view china as an engine. the china is certainly quite the powerhouse and we wait to see how those relations between china on australia evolve under albany. and i'm sure we'll have you on again, victor out before too long to discuss them. we take our vice president for the center for china globally, but globalization excuse me. thank you very much. thank you for having me. turkey has said it's will oppose finland, unsweetened joining nato and institute nordic countries address on cars, concerns about what their support for what it calls terrorist organizations. finan, unsweetened applied for membership this week, marking an end to their long history of neutrality. now fernando shirt long border with russia and turkey has demanded to finland, unsweetened both deal with the kurdish militant allegedly harboured in those nordic states. western leaders have expressed confidence, however, that's on cars. objections wi

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 rights, taiwan, and another -- a number of other issues. that was unusually direct language we saw in his speech. haidi: is there a sense that washington is projecting a time of strength when we are seeing more perceived weakness from beijing? potentially teasing that the easing of tariffs may be used here? >> there is definitely the element of that. this was a strong, assertive speech and there is generally a sense in washington that america has china a little bit on the back foot. in the early part of the pandemic, chi

be the china that represents all china, including taiwan. this becomes a tremendous challenge because officially the united states does not recognize taiwan as a country. for instance, there is no taiwanese embassy in washington. taiwan's interests are represented by eight representative office. so there is this really complicated issue of being able to use the right language and describe taiwan that is a country but effectively acting as an independent government, for instance a member of the united nations and that has been a tremendous challenge for taiwan. host: who are some of the 14 who have taken the step to officially recognize taiwan? guest: most are in latin america and the pacific islands. some would argue that these are countries that really depend greatly on taiwanese development of systems, so the motivation is to get more money. they can manipulate that and say, well, if you don't give us what we needed, we will turn to the chinese. that puts taiwan in a tough spot. at the same time it does give taiwan more recognition in the

this is a significant moment in china's attempts to dominate the pacific, and i think china has overreach. so i think we're seeing a convergence of several factors in the past few days. the, the over rich, the hubris, if you like, all china and foreign minister, while you seem to, to, to read many countries into a many dimensional agreement, security, economics, culture, development, fisheries, et cetera. and of course there was going to be authorization. so i think what's happening now is that the nice business that china is bringing to the region and the cracks, the division of the beginning show. because the small countries cannot reach consensus on dealing with china. therefore they will put on the shelf. but the other piece of puzzle i think is the way that the new australian government has been showing real leadership, real engagement with pacific country. not telling them to refuse or ignore china, but to remind them that the choices that by making about the development i put along. and if they had to read the fine because they need to. and in addition, when you are striving govern

one is in china for china. their customers are in china. so there is no way to move the supply chain out of this country because you want to be closer to your customers. but there is another type that will be part of the global supply chains and in the past month or so and obviously from -- some of our numbers experienced huge disruptions in terms of supply chains and some of them might have to move out of the country to meet certain demands but that could be a temporary situation because china at this point still has the ecosystem to provide products of members. so i think most members are still in a reassessing stage at this point. kathleen: i want to follow up on that. reassessing, but reassessing a long held position that it was worth being in china. is it possible, even with lockdowns it is the crackdown of property developers. it is all of the pulling back the chinese government has done to big companies in china over the last couple of years. and how do you change minds? does the government care or just let the foreigners go? >> our

the trump position on china. it's less bombastic, it doesn't exaggerate in quite the same way the trump did. but basically, i think we were seeing a consent show shift in american politics towards a new, ah, a new antagonism towards china. i don't think we're in a new cold warrior, but it certainly go aspects of that. and as michael said earlier on, you know, the danger of this kind of situation is that the, the, the, the more extreme a different situation subject can suggest more extreme views, extreme conflicts and you get this slippage. and i think we witnessed this in a number of ways, so far slippage towards a greater antagonism between the 2 countries. i mean, i think we set, you know, up, i'm afraid to say this, but i think this is going to go on for a long time. and, and in fact, in some ways, one of the interesting things about the state, of course, is not new. but one of the interesting statement is the america is, is sort of preparing itself for the long hold in relationship to this appendix. for examp

china strategic moves in the south pacific res alarm among australia and its allies, china, one to 10 pacific island states to inc. a wide range of deal with beijing. it failed . so what other concerns with this deal? and how did the pacific island nation themselves view it? and later in the program bank books, real life fight club, the cult movie has inspired and underground fight scene in the tie capital. the cops are seen read just like some of the competitors. but the events approving extremely popular ah i british manager, welcome to d. w. news asia. glad you could join us. an attempt by china to secure a sweeping security and trade deal with 10 south pacific islands remains elusive. jay's foreign minister, one ye has was hoping to sign such a pact during a stop in fiji, bought his diplomatic to out of the region. but one came away from a virtual meeting with his south pacific counterparts. without a deal, he urged them not to be too anxious about his country's aims in the region, and promised to clear the air. we hope to from john, after the meeting to china will release its own

what does -- what if china recovers? the hope obviously is china recovers. is there enough oil in the event china does a u-turn? >> this would light up the market. in two q, we see jet fuel down, gasoline down. forecasting almost no growth out of china this year. were china to reopen, i think that would shed a light under oil markets and we would see a significant move to the upside. the timing remains highly uncertain. once china comes back, there will be a further leg up for commodity prices. david: great to see you in person. we will see you next time. we are just in time for industrial output numbers out of japan. we will be getting pmi numbers out of china. 1.3% down. sequential drop. in april, industrial output, 1.3. the estimate was for -1.2. retail sales a little bit better than expectations pick department sales up 4%. the consumer is healthy. same cannot be said and would even tie in with what we saw in south korea with industrial profits. showing a contraction. will put this together when the numbers come out of china in under two hours. haidi: we

so what has been, china is response to that. well, you know, you, you mentioned that camp to do these. this has been established. quite frankly, if you start looking at all the paperwork that's been put together and i have no doubt that human rights watches are collecting data from different sources. some certainly don't have people on the ground there, but you know, it all comes back to the gentleman named a trends and somebody who is thoroughly anti. he's a born again christian. he believes not a big fan of women's rights. police corporal punishment. it's strange that he would adopt muslims, as he believes under his own, very extreme brand of christianity that they're all going to hell. but i mean, he merges 2018 as an expert, and i'm sure john matters and it's through him that you hear all these allegations on puts out there is a 1000000 we years in concentration camps. how we did this, interviewed 8 people. and based on those 8 people who extract laden decided, there was a 1000000, decided that he was also the source that sa

you have to believe that china is an uncaring country. that doesn't do anything for its people when it's a fact that one of the few nations rasdelle something about poverty has provided upward mobility has provided resources, social services to its people. one of the greatest economic stories out there. so this beating the drum that somehow chinese people are repressed and unhappy. they might be under covered restrictions right now. but, you know, the fact is that that's not true. and i think anyone who comes there i have been in syndrome last summer. i did not see people crying and being repressed. i made it a point of getting out and going off on my own so that i was not being monitored. so i could see the situation. i saw none of it, in fact, in cash or i couldn't find in a lease, although there are many more cameras or before i was there in 2015. and the hotel where i stayed was bombed about less than a week after i left. at that time there were armed guards, checkpoints, there were armored vehicles, people with machine guns, but none

looking at china as a foreign policy actor one of the challenges in dealing with china internationally that you you really address head-on is what you call a leninist predisposition to maintain secrecy at all costs and this propensity you suggest reinforces a view that china is untrustworthy and the idea is if it's not truthful with its own people. it can't be trusted and i would add that. and we see china's comfort with straddling what looked to the west is some very divergent even contradictory international positions contributes to a view that china prefers ambiguity or dissembling a lot of people policy makers might even label this opportunism on the part of china in your book you you make mention the case of scarborough shoal where after chinese vessels crowded around a philippine control to disputed shoal that created a dangerous standoff and and the with the us allies the philippines navy over the show in the united states negotiated a withdrawal the philippines navy dutifully with drew in china remained others might point to hong kong and in an assessment that china failed to u

into china. yousef: wonderful series of voices to kind of lay the groundwork for a bit of a deeper discussion on the survey. we are joined by mark cudmore, our pockets five managing editor so what exactly made the headlines for you? bang: -- mark: good morning. there is a survey that was watch more nuanced than normally where we either get a clear bullish or bearish signal. overall, there is a lot of negativity about china and they expected the negative impact around the rest of the world and they expect payment to import inflation and get a negative growth impact but ultimately, what was really interesting is that 55% of responses actually expected increased exposure over the next 12 months even though they are not particularly positive and that reflects that the world is generally underinvested in chinese equities. when you break it down, it was almost 60%, about 400 of the responses were professional market participants. part of this is that people do expect the tech calm down that has been th

is not talking. >> thank you for your time, china, -- michael mgm china president. next of the latest on the elon musk and twitter debacle, as he has been hinting at renegotiating the deal to buy the company at a lower price. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> now to the latest on the ongoing drama surrounding elon musk's takeover twitter. hinting that he might want to renegotiate at in order -- at a lower pricing, and may not be the question. after all that drama, this deal is on hold. >> yes, i thought you would say after all that drama even more drama. this coming from the latest in the miami conference where musk stoked speculation that he may try to renegotiate the deal at a lower price. it is getting a lot of attention because as follows his tweet on friday where muska says his $44 billion takeover for twitter is literally on hold while he investigates concerns about bots or fake users. he was asked at the conference at miami if there would be a good deal at a lower price, that is where he said that other question. then he says, the more questions he asks the more his

do you think we can expect china to make this report public? oh, so that is a kind of a true position at you, the events that it is a deliberate a fact i i'm, i'm confident that the investigator and also the authority a c as a regulator and also safety education authorization will be very all nice and, and all not the fact i'm but you for there are other contributing factors. and also, as we know that when something contributes to the air crash and perhaps in not just one single effect that to affect it that will contribute to the crash hours a day or more than one contributing factors. so we need to take a holistic out assistant approach to that, which i not have heard a relatively good safety record a safety record in the past due to a kid. particularly when can you talk to us a bit about the standards of a safety employed in china to make sure that across are safe to fly? yes, absolutely. i think as we know that in the past 14 years, perhaps chuck nice, maintain a very high safety red hole in terms of there is no fatal crash. and the latest

and others might point to hong kong and that china failed to uphold the terms of its i return to china d the governments in britain and then many other examples the race concerns mom western policymakers in particular about negotiated agreements with beijing so you say to those concerns. >> ultimately, the respect what you do and not what you say and responded to it, we should be deeply conscious of what we do and frankly, make sure that will be say is reflected in which we do pretty and furthermore i would say the chinese deeply respectful of the strength that institutionally and culturally contempt to as a witness in both domestically and internationally we look at the history of the communist party from 21 - 49 and so this is deep strategic real estate in the execution of a marxist rubber revolution and a trait when in deep trouble and went to fight for example in 45 with defeat of the japanese based on the military possibilities at the time and the united states argument is in order to sustain american national interest that as we discussed before, this level of absolute clarity of

this is china, sea territory dispute in the south china sea 3rd part of this. so you have all these flash voids and therefore anything could could happen if the tensions are not managed carefully. so therefore, i do think a lot of countries in us in including the philippines are very wary of this strategic competition. because in the, an small states like the philippines and its neighbors in asi on, are going to be victims in this chest game. and, oh, what exactly can you do on this from? because i'm for your heard present bivens, our latest announcement that the, the united states will intervene to defend taiwan militarily. and even though there are various interpretations of that of that statement, i'm sure it was taken with a lot of apprehension in your region, especially considering that the chinese navy, as we know, is larger than the american navy in those 2 navies come to class how far do you think it may go and how it may influence you? read the yes. remember of all, darcy and countries only the philippine shares a maritime boundary with taiwan. so if a

the issue of how to counter china's threats l how to counter china's threats to taiwan as a long—term one and it's really been highlighted by what russia has donein highlighted by what russia has done in ukraine, it has added to the sense of urgency but it is a decade—long programme japan, the us and its allies are preparing to undertake to sort of catch up technologically with what china has done in the last two decades. there are also much more broad ambitions. and that's part of what's being announced today here, we have president biden supporting the indo—pacific economic framework which he and the japanese prime minister are announcing today. it's a replacement for the old transpacific partnership, that tra nspacific partnership, that president transpacific partnership, that president trump pulled out of backin president trump pulled out of back in 2016. the us now trying to get back in the lead, and the pacific, and in the south—east asia and the indian, with building economic partnerships, trade partnerships, trade partnerships, technology partnerships, technology partner

i'd have other views on the republic of china. so vincent, i will say that before i ctp become really poplar. a lot of the young people didn't know that in our constitution, we still try to claim back the territory. it wasn't aware because people just don't talk about it. and now because the power of comedy people know is like, come on can t, you probably need to fix your constitution or we need to face our history together . how was taiwan? situation is just very severe. while our constitution claims that our territory covers the whole of china, everyone knows that taiwan is being bullied by beijing and could never govern mainland china. the same goes for the other side of the communist party has always claimed that taiwan is a part of the people's republic of china, which is equally ridiculous. it's all so stupid, but also very sad cuz i see tv are very effective at losing sharp black humour. to address these territories matters. it's a funny and satirical way of addressing the truth. to here. i see tv is huge. you page has more

i think china is really the elephant in the room. you know, the biden administration tends to see the trade in technology council as a platform to, to kind of combine you and us economic and military might to, to counter china's emissions. many of the initiatives of wisconsin were initially directed to china, but if you look at the joint statement that was released today in paris, there's hardly any mention of china. so the, so that there's a real disconnect there. and i think one of the other problems with you has a completely different approach. you know, officials in the you are always keen to stress that this council is all about working together and is not directed at any one country. but i think the fact remains that many of the things discussed today, you know, whether it's supply chain, semiconductors, even europe, green transition. china does tend to play outside role in these areas. you know, just to give you one example. china is a dominant player in key parts of the value chain when it comes to renewables. you know, wheth

the route between europe's biggest inland port induce book and china's economic centers is part of china as belt and road initiative. the new silk road. it's 11000 kilometer rail root carries some 200000 containers annually and partially crosses through russian territory for china and the e. u. it's an important project and for that reason has been largely spared from sanctions. you also shall bomb enjoy watching railroads have been put under sanctions to the extent that no one in europe can buy a trade. russian state owned rail bonds or the absolute using russian rail or fulfilling existing transport contracts is not prohibited or under sanctions of been. the commission has made it clear that there were land root between china in europe is also in european interests. of course that could change at any time. here, everything has already changed the ukrainian port of mar, you, paul, has been completely destroyed before the war. it was an important export hub. ukraine originally had 3 big ports. the crimean city of sylvester boy was annexed in 2014 by russia. mar, you poor has been devasta
