12:30 pm
its pros into chinese ship buildings to push the us in china back into a period of dangerous volatility separately. did you make any headway in terms of actually getting china to agree to reduce economic support for russia's defense industry? and if not, is the us ready to move forward with sanction in separately, given north korea is, is also sending massive shipments of munitions to russia. did you bring that up with your chinese counterparts and did you get any, a chinese cooperation there? and finally, just on tick tock. did that come up in conversations today and how do you expect china to respond? thanks. not sure, i got all of it, but i'll try it. thank you. on the last question. no tick tock did not come up so i can answer that one very quickly. look on economic relationship. let's put this in perspective. we remain the united states remains the largest market for a chinese products of any country around the world. and our own freight relationship remains very significant. in fact, china is our 3rd largest trading partner after our near neighbors, canada,
12:31 pm
and mexico. and as i heard from the american businesses, american investors in shanghai, there remains a very strong interest in working in this market, provided that we have a level playing field and share shop when we do, we do very well. but so when we're looking at the question of tears, 301, a measure of success or what we're focused on is practices engaged in by china that are unfair and, and undermine our businesses and our workers. and this question of over capacity is the one that is front and center china is responsible for one 3rd global production, but 110th of global demand. so there's a clear mismatch. and when you have products that are produced here and produced in
12:32 pm
a way that's heavily subsidized, heavily supported in other ways. and that allows those products then to be sold at low prices and sometimes the low market prices in other countries pushing businesses from those countries out of out of business and having potentially devastating effects on communities and workers businesses. that's something that we have to will and are standing against. but the other important thing is it's not just us. this is the concern that i've heard around the world and notably from european partners. and this came up in conversation just a week ago when we had a meeting of the, of the g 7. so, so this is not about containing china, it's not about cutting off crater investment again, as you've heard secretary yellen say this is important to us and many other countries, robert, but we want to ensure that it proceeds fairly. and in a way that doesn't have these on fairfax on, on our industries,
12:33 pm
on our workers and in our and on our companies. and again, that's something the chairs across the world when it comes to trying to support for russians, defense, industrial base. all i can tell you is, i was extremely clear about our concerns in some detail, but we'll have to see what actions follow from that. now, i think china has demonstrated in the past when it comes to russia and ukraine, that it can take a positive action. you'll recall that well over a year ago, we had concerns that brush was considering possible use of the nuclear, what type of leaves the child's voice was important. and at least at that time moving russia away from that to that possible course of action. but now it is absolutely critical that the support that is providing not in terms of weapons,
12:34 pm
but components for the defense industrial base. again, things like machine tools, micro electronics, where it is overall monthly is the number one supplier to russia. that's having a vitriol effect in ukraine against you kind but it's also having the material effect in creating a growing threat that rush opposes to countries in europe and something that has captured their attention in a very intense way. and as i said, to talk to dr. for the next question, one, lou with the paper victory m one from paper. we have the intensive interaction between china and us at various levels of things. those sy, summit last november as with you intensive interactions with chinese officers and people during your visit with the us election agenda aggressively to maintain american politics. there's the need for various parties to demonstrate the strong
12:35 pm
stands on china to secure votes, leading to negative sentiments and actions regarding china. so that's how can we see the guard? and the fixture effectively implements the achievements made by both sides during the this period. also minimizing the influence of compounds by a respite and fostering mall who dwelt to stabilize sign know us relations. thank you. thank you. in my job, i don't do politics. i focus on policies. and that's what i've been doing here at president vines instruction. trying to carry forward the agenda and the agreements that were reached between president 5 and presidency in california at the end of last year. and that's where my focus is. and that's where it will remain in the months ahead. and as i said a few moments ago, we've seen important progress on that agenda in the time since the meeting between
12:36 pm
the 2 presidents, including on counter narcotics i including our military to military ties, communications, including now on the dialogue that we just announced. artificial intelligence, as well as on people's people as changes and connections between our countries. also vitally important coming out of the california meetings. this present vide, make clear that we continue to communicate clearly about our differences at the very least, to minimize the chance of miscalculation misunderstandings. and that's also exactly what i did on this visit. and we'll continue to do. and that's simply what's required, which is to continue to advance our interest in our values, which has nothing to do with election cycles and everything to do with what's important the american simon lewis with the reuters.
12:37 pm
so this is extra, you mentioned that you think the china can play a more constructive role. combat constructive role in global crisis to keep talking about in the middle east. and we had a conversation with with mr. wong, the earlier this month around the time is that when iran, israel tensions are ready ramping up. i wonder if you have an assessment of the role that china has played. and you know, whether, whether it's sufficient in the actions that the chinese government has taken safe and this summer post that the palestinian groups and my side of meeting here. and they envisioning while you are here. i wonder if that's an area where you would welcome some chinese involvement. and while we're on the middle east, i think we kind of know some of the images that have been coming out from back in the us from university campuses. so it's quite striking to see,
12:38 pm
you know, students and some of the violence in, in these process that the students all across the country coming out and expressing the outrage and what's happening and gaza. are you taking on boards those protests? you know, what do you say to young people, young americans who you know, see this as, as a name and when they need to speak out against the government. so 1st on the middle east, i think i've talked to the farm, the district one year at least half a dozen times on the since since october 7th, including of course today. but also in previous meetings we had a phone conversations, etc. and yes, i think this is an area where china can use the relationships it has the influence, it has to try, for example, to prevent the conflict from escalating from spreading. and we had
12:39 pm
a good conversation when tensions were particularly acute follow proceeding and then immediately following around the unprecedented attack on israel 10 days or so ago. and i think the relationships again that china has can be positive and trying to content. sions: prevent escalation. avoid this threat of the conflict, then we agree that we remain in regular and regular touch on this. and that's certainly my, uh, my intention i'm, i'm not aware of the, the meeting you refer to. i think you said between us. so nothing to say on that in terms of the approach as back home. again, i'm not, it's not my practice to comment on domestic matters,
12:40 pm
but what people have strong, passionate feelings about what's happening in gaza and in the middle east. that i very much understand. and when we see the terrific human suffering and the depth of children, women were caught in this cross fire from us making its got right. you said before and we want to do everything we can to bring it to an end and in our own country. it's hallmark of our democracy that our citizens make note, their views, their concerns, their, their anger given time. and i think that reflects the strength of the country and strength of moxy. now as i've also said before,
12:41 pm
this could be over tomorrow. it could've been over yesterday because then over a months ago, if i'm austin, put down its weapons, stop hiding behind civilians released the hostages and surrendered. but of course the controls and not to do that. and it is also notable that there is silence about from us. it's as if it wasn't even part of the the story. but i've also said repeatedly the, the way is real, goes about ensuring that october 7th never happens again, matters for families. and we're working every day to try to minimize the damage this done to innocent people and to make sure that they have the assistance to support. and for the final question, you had us new decker with cps. the
12:42 pm
thank you. and my question was basically just ask, but i'm, i'm good, thank you. i'm just, i'm just, i'm just, i'm just going to ask another one. and you said that you also am require countries in europe to m. yeah. kind of a join the the plans to provide, prevent china from supplying military or do is use goods to russia. what do you expect from these countries in which, how should they ex no, it's not what uh, what we expect of them is there for fun, concerns about the actions that the chinese enterprises are taking it to support russians. defense industrial base because this goes not only to the immediate threat posed by russian and it's aggression against ukraine. it goes to a medium, long term threats that many europeans feel this really,
12:43 pm
that russia potentially closest to them. and so what i heard in my conversations last week, um g 7 meetings before that it, nato was a share concern about this. i had detail conversations with a number of european leaders about their concerns, including present macro and france, german counterparts, british many others, italian. and i think all of us are looking to, to china to take steps to curve this action. and we're also, as i said, looking at the actions that we're fully prepared to take if we don't see a change we have um. okay, so united states, we've already impose sanctions on more than a 100 chinese entities,
12:44 pm
export controls, etc. and we're fully prepared to to act take additional measures. and i made that very clear your mind meetings the thank you. thank you all. the us actually a state anthony blinking addressing other price the, the end of his trip to china. he was there in badging, talking about something sticking points that ran with china and also something positive, including the 1st us china talks to be held on artificial intelligence, the data and that is yet to be announced. but that is something that is going to be of the determined at a quite, quite soon. but that's something that hasn't happened before to the 1st. the us, china talks on uh, on top of that intelligence coming up at some point that was one of the positives that anthony blinking was talking about in his address to the press when it came to
12:45 pm
sticking points. he was also talking about the chinese support for the russian defense industrial base and also chinese over capacity that is flooding us. market them, not just us markets, anthony blinking thing back to being a concern in europe as well. let's see if we can get our correspondent far beyond the correct my on the line who is a she should be joining us from badging, but i've told he isn't yet on the line, but that has changed and far beyond. i see you that i've, i've been, you've been following along what a duplicate was saying that in that press conference. let's talk about the sticking points fast. russia and the chinese support for russia are continuing to remain a sticking point and also chinese over capacity when it comes to producing goods. so yeah, i mean, it was really an impressive list of,
12:46 pm
of topics that blinking was referring to almost never ending. and, you know, give us poking on on the positive aspect where they could achieve some progress in the beginning, but they're actually the opposite. todd, what's, you know, rob, a gloomy you, for example, when it came to the one you crane and china in direct help of a rough as one machinery. a blinking basically said that yes, we made a point very clear, but he did not refer to any kind of progress or any indication that you know, the china would change its position or would use some pressure against russia not at all. and that is really in line with my expectations. i have a lot of background talk see also with diplomats and i don't get any indicator that a seating ping will actually change his position. but blinking also said something very interesting. he said that, you know, we are preparing to take some measured us. we could take further sanctions. so he is actually clearly i'm talking also from a position of strength i would say and makes it clear that we have
12:47 pm
a leverage here. and if you will continue with your policy offering the exporting to use products to russia, then we still have some cuts in our hands when it comes to those cods. is anthony blinking, essentially threatening sanctions against china if china support of russia continues . so yes, i mean that's what i how i understood it from the press conference. um, so uh they were actually already media reports that, um, the us government would draft some sanctions against some chinese banks as leverage for the role of, you know, supporting russia. i mean, this is not confirmed, so i don't want to speculate to you, but that would be those possibilities. and according to what blinking said, i'm sure that people take at least um, some sanctions into consideration here. he has not said concretely what exactly, but he made you that behind closed doors and he said, you know, we'll have consequences if this the step is quote,
12:48 pm
what's going on. if i can just drill down on this point a bit more, talk to us about the badging position here and why it is a moveable why does page in continue to support russia despite coming in for so much criticism. so badging repeatedly, sir said this is not our war. we one piece um we are open florida nic negotiations, but the fact that they are very close to uh, put in a position they roll out the red carpet for him. actually putting, just announced that people are very soon in may come to basing again. and it is very clear that you know, 1st of all, both come to ship very long island, florida. they have to get along to some degree. but um, other than that, they also, um, she has to teach it goes and that is basically um, to break the through from the western world or they want to do that. and, you know, russia is a member of the un security council, and so it is a valuable pot enough for china. and i think this is really um, yeah, they have
12:49 pm
a common goals. and then also since the west and companies when they left russia, they left a big way to them. and, and now i'm the chinese companies step in there and the trade is really flourishing . uh, russia who is increasingly, depending on china is delivering very cheap energy. you've been very cheap all through china, so china defacto is benefiting from this position. and yeah, so that's why i think know the state of the sofa, also many european, the state us have tried to convince the see, think to change his position and to no success until you've been to the ultimate, a foreign minister. wrong. he and why don't you try to present this as a choice between gold stability, ordered ton to a downward spiral, given the aging it to appear as will be unmoving when it comes to its support for moscow. i'll be looking at the downward spiral relations between the us and china
12:50 pm
now. so i will not go so far yet. look where we come from is basically not long ago that both sides where you have not been talking at all. there were no military to military talks. um, the human exchange was even lower than it is now. i mean, even now we're just talking below and they are less than $1000.00 students from the us studying here in china, but at least it is progress. and it is also progress that you know, both sites are talking again and on a very high level of teaching thing was happening to meet blinking. so i think um why we don't see much progress in the call um conflict is at least um i would say willingness to, you know, um show good will and also manage those uh, differences in a moment to away so that they don't escalate. but yeah, i think in the mid term in, on, in the long term there's so much conflict and so much room for progress or for compromise. both sides have very different positions and tow taiwan ukraine,
12:51 pm
etc. so it will be very tough. 5, and we leave it there, but the time being, but i'm sure i'll be hearing from you quite soon. thanks so much for the moment. a small band was mentioning the tensions over taiwan also figured in the dark. it's something that anthony blinking, also talked about, especially uh on and also dangerous chinese actions in the south, generally, particularly in regard to the philippines. but when it comes to taiwan, lincoln's visit game as washington promise, more than $8000000000.00 of industry aid for it's in the pacific box announcements, taiwan, chief among them, a badging news, taiwan. and it's only $33.00 and especially the season by force. the news east asia correspondent james church looks of the impact of the funding and thinking visit on taiwan. we don't walk away from our allies, we stand with them. it's back is described it as an inflection point in history. the world us president joe biden, this week assign since
12:52 pm
a lot of phone minute tree. a package was more than $95000000.00 us store that motion to more than a 1000000000, if that is a mocks for washington's in the pacific pond, this, it includes on supports in front of military financing for taiwan. the self full democracy, the china claims has its own. on the same day, the us secretary of state, america's top tips, not just me blinking visits. china based on this thing, not included on the agenda page, things, ministry threats to tie one percent badging. make a what 8 thoughts about the us funding for taiwan is defense. pretty well. military collusion between the us and taiwan will not bring security, nor can it save taiwan from the doomed faith of independent high school to ship. i mean a chinese presidency. jim ping has often said what he calls re unifying taiwan with china is a court interest for badging recent years. china has around supplemental trans invitation. flying with a tree, i crossed into ty, one's ad defense identifications on almost every day. in less than a month,
12:53 pm
taiwan with a new great, it's newly elected president lighting though he's about to do everything he can to protect. i one from chinese, the time is a way to live this reconciled his new national security team with my new company equipped with years of experience, many diplomatic positions. they've welcome the latest us port task on the saw it on will be all it shows that our primary goal is to complicate the calculations on the other side of the straight into cost. china is the time table for potential reckless military actions always seem to town to be constantly postponed in order to maintain stability in the taiwan strait. i'd ship all tie t the that tie when he is officially is often said in self defense is that responsibility alone. but with a gap in military capability between type and aging whitening tie when he is exercises like this a couple of months ago. underlined the fact that the support of washington would be
12:54 pm
critical to funding off a chinese attack and those james j a certified that to vote for us. i will be awesome if taiwan themes, the amount of funding and ministry assistance being offered by the us is an off. i will try one has to where the science the us for the supports are ones for our ministry said that it would be very helpful. that's why one situation, but i don't think there are any misunderstandings in 20 pay about the, the scale of the military discrepancy imagery, capability between 20 pay and aging. now remember, badging have is running a military defense budget some 12 times odds of ty, ones. and so there's a really deep recognition here, and so i wonder if it's going to be able to affect it's a send off a potential chinese attack. it's going to require an alternative more mos in a while, acquits taiwanese military, but also the supports of washington. i would on the spot to that if, if i was going to be able to fend off by the time it would also require the support
12:55 pm
of the us as all the allies in the, in the pacific. and at least the coordination between those partners. and that's why we've seen washington really make big efforts to bring its highlights, especially if the judge upon in the philippines with which it has a mutual defense, tracy. i close that together to show a more united front against more effective chinese behavior in this region. the, the responding james here to the quick reminder of the top story, the following for you, us equity of states, anthony lincoln has held the press conference, engaging on the 3rd and final day of a visit fault with tensions blinking talked to positively about candidates and constructive conversations on shared interest. he also raised us concerns about trying to support for rush as boy new printer and its ability to create weapons and so on. for the moment, i'm going to strategy in the building. i'll be back with more news and updates shortly to then the,
