we spoke to china expert richard mcgregor and i asked him how likely it is that china will back down. i think they're settling in now for a long trade war they're not nearly as exposed to the us as the market as they once were they're not nearly as reliant on export exports as they once were about i think china is hurting it's chinese private companies which the exporters are hurting most china sort of premie our technology company our way is also under a lot of pressure but i don't think china thinks it will get much by giving away a way to the u.s. so they're really settling in for a long term battle turkish finance minister bet on by iraq says he expects schopper interest rate cuts from the central bank claim such moves will bring down inflation many investors worry about the independence of turkey central bank finance minister is the son in law or of president branch of thai a better one who's pushed for lower interest rates to jumpstart the economy alice say lowering interest rates to fight inflation makes little sense the turkish lira weaken slightly after about ox comments. by

now china is not very happy because thousands of companies are leaving china and going to other places, including the united states because they don't want to pay tariffs. and the other thing is china's paying the tariffs. they are devaluing their currency and they're pumping in. that's paying for the tariffs. our people have not been paying for the tariffs. thank you. >> [inaudible]. >> if the fed knew what it was doing, they would lower rates, and they would stop quantitative tightening. if you look at europe, what they're doing is they're pumping money in and they are having rates lowered so they can compete with us. just remember, the european union was set up in order to compete with the united states. okay? and if you look at what he's done, made them somewhat competitive. despite everything, they are not doing well, and we're doing great. europe is not doing well at all. we are doing great. but we're put at an unfair playing field when they cut interest rates and when they pump in a lot of money, and we're doing just the opposite. we are taking money out and interest rates have

wants everyone to join it's at the end of the day against china. you know this is a very important issue at the moment you know there is always a strong rhetoric coming from the u.s. in the person of donald trump but we have the world the traits trading system has changed we have global value chains companies can shift profits from one country to the other and then we have china as a very specific big global player with a state owned companies where competition is not really an issue so the europeans and the u.s. have to cooperate stronger in light of the state owned companies from china taxation is only one issue just to mention other issues like individual freedom security of data it is not very constructive sustainable if europe if if the u.s. takes steps individually having china with a completely different trading system and not basically compatible in the long run with a competition oriented trading system and we haven't even mentioned china's tech behemoths weiwei. absolutely i mean there's been it comes to security reason i mean it's not on

and china so this is actually the 2nd order that airbus has gotten from china this year of a announced this really mammoth. deal worth about 30000000000 euros in march so they're sort of seeing china you. use these orders as a way to send a political message to the us you know china is the most important. market right now and so they're really getting they're really seeing an advantage. coming through through these training goshi asians so if you go any further in frankfurt thank you. the british travel group thomas cook is in a bad stalls with chinese investors about a rescue deal the agreement could be worth over 800000000 euros would see thomas cook's biggest stakeholder china's full sun take control of its true business the cash injection would give the struggling company enough money to trade through to the end of 2020 its chief executive calls the proposals pragmatic but admits they are the outcome that it wanted. one of the most instagram of all places in the world of the mountains and fjords of no white and once those photos are on insta the hordes of tourists followed now enti

tone from the previous talks china is now confident and ready for a longer fight on the surface china will keep sending good wills to break the deadlock of the trade talks but deep in there my understand that china must rely on its almost a demand potential including vast countryside to manage the new risks and new challenges now if you say turning a crisis into opportunity how is beijing hoping to achieve that. interestingly minutes after the meeting of the politburo was published took it to twitter he said that china was supposed to start buying our agricultural products now knows they're doing so it's clear that farm products especially soybean is donald trump's weak point so even though the chinese media said china has bought 2000000 tonnes of soybean from the us but actually in fact those were all purchases and the number is far less so china can use it as a very a card that they have because it's a big problem for if you cannot have the american farmer support to win the 2020 and to buy or not to buy that. ok but of course at the same time this conflict is also weighing on chine

meanwhile china is also suffering. its economy has also been slowing over the same period, with growth falling to 6.2%, the slowest in almost 30 years. and the global economy is also being hit — the international monetary fund has again cut its forecast for world growth to 3.2% for this year. chiyo robertson now reports on the negotiations ahead. donald trump has raised the stakes, as his trade and finance chiefs robert lighthizer and steven mnuchin prepare for talks with chinese cou nterpa rts prepare for talks with chinese counterparts on tuesday. it will be the first proper meeting since donald trump reached a truce with chinese president xijinping donald trump reached a truce with chinese president xi jinping at the 620 chinese president xi jinping at the g20 meeting injune, injapan. 0nly one month before that, negotiations had collapsed in acrimony. but donald trump is flexing his muscles again. on friday, he fired a twitter threat at china's developing nation status at the world trade 0rganisation. he is unhapp

trying to just notice moments ago china tries to delay did a deal until the u.s. had presidential election next year also we will probably see a $25.00 basis points rate cut from the federal reserve next week with the markets expecting at least and all their one before the year and this will ease a financial conditions for dollar laurie kudlow director of the national economic council ruled out any currency intervention. possibility is not entirely out of the table just yet moments ago as we said just said that the chinese currency is too low and euro not doing so well. clifford coonan and the studio with me and luis to harlow in new york thank you both very much for your insights. the u.s. department of justice has approved the $26000000000.00 merger of sprint and t. mobile america is the 3rd and 4th largest wireless provider but the deal still faces an uphill battle amid fears of job cuts and higher prices for consumers. if the merger between t. mobile usa with rival sprint does go ahead it would establish a powerful new telecoms joined in the united states pare

in china, for example, we've had extraordinary tough talk going back to the campaign he accused china of raping the us economy, a phrase which many people have a problem with stop now, having imposed various different tariffs, he's putting a freeze on expansion of those tariffs. he is talking about a deal being very close. and he is also, apparently, backing off on his determination to isolate huawei from the us economy. 0k, isolate huawei from the us economy. ok, so let's go huawei first. there will be... there will be no interest, i believe, in the us senate or in congress and allowing huawei to sell up, work in the united states by blood donald trump is just united states by blood donald trump isjust promise united states by blood donald trump is just promise the united states that huawei can have relationships with us companies. i think 20 has said is that they can do component sales to huawei but while they can't sell them to the united states —— i think what he has said. it is my understanding. your fellow floridian senator marco rubio has called donald trump's let us talk o

we spoke to an expert on china richard mcgregor and asked him how likely it is that china will back down i think they're settling in now for a long trade war they're not nearly as exposed to the u.s. as the market as they once were they're not nearly as reliant on export exports as they once were now i think china is hurting it's chinese private companies which the exporters are hurting most china sort of a premier technology company our way is also under a lot of pressure but i don't think china thinks it will get much by giving way away to the u.s. so they're really settling in for a long term battle. finally investors looking to get a whole finch for the rising global demand to beat and get a piece of the action thanks to a south african app called my phone book yap allows best is to buy shares in a cow starting at $576.00 randall $36.00 and pays out between 5 and 4 percent interest once the animal is so the slaughter. project was started 4 years ago and now includes a 2000 and a. i said business with a. kick off. the. news it's a kind of culture walk. me a phenomena. reframe a look i

china trade talks will only bring challenges in the months ahead. in the 1st half while way sold 118000000 smartphones of more than a quarter on the previous year analysts say the growth was mostly due to the strong domestic market always market share in china reached a record 38 percent cause for confidence for the company's management. honestly huawei has been somewhat disturbed by the us negative list fodder but the order for the impact is definitely manageable newshound that's a go home we're quits and go. well way is at the center of the year long u.s. china trade conflict donald trump placed the company on a blacklist in may which restricted access to u.s. technology and to the american market. while way did not reveal what impact this band had on its bottom line. byer says it's now facing over $18000.00 legal cases in the u.s. over herbicide that's alleged to cause cancer that herbicide the top seller roundup was both an incentive and a risk taken on by german chemical the german chemicals firm when it bought american rival monsanto which mak

china have agreed to increase trade in their own national currencies reducing their reliance on the u.s. dollar currently only 10 percent of trade between the 2 countries is conducted in roubles and un but under a new deal that figure will rise to 50 percent the russian president raised the issue with a meeting between the 5 brics nations during the g 20 summit. the joint work between the brics countries and shifting to trade using our own national currencies is moving along well. or to cut their use of global currencies like the dollar and the euro russia and china all have to avoid swift which is the world's largest payment system it is used 511000 financial institutions in 200 countries and is heavily reliant on the dollar swift claims to be politically neutral but has repeatedly blocked access to russian and chinese banks to u.s. sanctions well russia and china have already already have their own alternative payment systems and they are working on developing ruble a new one financial instruments to them in a similar development the e.u. has created a settlement platform called inste

/china trade talks. hays,g us now is kathleen our global economics and policy editor out of new york, and air china correspondent and coanchor, tom mackenzie in beijing. to the according sources, we hear lighthizer is headed to shanghai for head to head trade talks. what can we expect this time around? tom: they have been having phone calls, at least 2 sets of phone calls that have led up to the meeting we are expecting. face-to-face meeting in shanghai between monday and wednesday. from the u.s. side, it will be led by robert lighthizer. as you mentioned on the chinese side, the commerce minister, something of a hardliner when it comes to trade talks. we are not expecting any major breakthroughs. that has been an agreement from the u.s. side. at least they are having face-to-face meetings. we have had this positive mood from both sides, picking up over the last week and over the weekend, when you have the chinese starting to have conversations with their state owned enterprises and companies about poten

we rebuilt china and they did a great job. i don't discredit them for what happened. i discredit our people who should have been doing what i am doing right now. it's not pleasant. our farmers have been incredible. they are patriots. it will pay off big for the farmers. >> tucker: came close to sending the u.s. military to strike iran and you pulled back. some wanted you to strike iran? >> and a lot of people gave me a lot of credit. a lot of people said that was a great presidential moment which was shocking to hear. we -- they shot down an unmanned drone they said was over their territory. it was not. they had to give me everything i wanted to know by 7 o'clock. they gave me everything but didn't tell me how many people would die. i know a lot of iranians from new york city and they are all great people. we are all great people. i said how many people will die? they said at least 150. they shot down a drone and we will kill 150 people or many more. you never know. nobody does it better than us. you don't know how many people will die. i said i don't like it. we didn

the south china sea. we see a tremendous buildup and blue water navy capabilities. we see a determined form of their economic policy internationally and particularly the way they have abused their position in the wto. the u.s. is committed to securing fair and reciprocal terms in our trade practices and that will require china to be more transparent. it is on that point that the president has particularly confronted china. he is doing it on the basis of an insight that no one would dispute that ultimately national , political, and military power and its projection around the world rests on a strong economy. when one country is abusing the rules of the international trading system and particularly taking advantage of the u.s., that must stop. you see through the use of tariffs that the administration is willing to use all available tools to help level the playing field. the trade negotiations that followed the imposition of tariffs have concentrated on what we call structural issues. massive, persistent th

china talks are back on track but a 2nd front has opened up the u.s. europe trade is heading into the storm arend is again in the center of the debate also the circus has come to town and it's called the democratic process. welcome back now as pride month wraps up around the world community in the u.s. seems to be divided with competing rallies being held amid claims the main event has become too commercialized the reclaim pride coalition held a separate march in new york with quote corporate floats and no police says the official event a longer address is the political struggles of the community under the trumpet ministration meanwhile a new report suggests a sharp decline in except since gay and lesbian people among young americans according to that survey in 2018 fewer people aged 18 to 34 felt comfortable interacting with. paypal compared with the year before while the number feeling uncomfortable with a relative coming out increase. just more young americans also didn't like the idea of gay issues being taught in school on the other hand though th

china's grad turnberry we introduce you to a chinese teenager who has big climate ambitions. i'm melissa chan welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us we start with pakistani prime minister in run cons visit to the white house the main agenda was afghanistan and what pakistan can do to a celebrate peace talks the country was the taliban's chief sponsor in the 1990 s. and continues to have influence over the group. it was the 1st meeting between khan and u.s. president donald trump and the 2 made clear they were intent on improving relations after a relatively rocky period. a push to mend tense u.s. pakistan relations in person after clashing on twitter pakistani prime minister imran khan has held his 1st one on one talks in washington with his us while online sparring partner u.s. president donald trump the afghan conflict responsible for straining those ties was a key focus of talks trump hopes card can help broker a peace deal between the taliban and the afghan government and pave the way to ending nearly 18 years of u.s. military involvement in afghanistan. i hav

the problems with growing old and china. millions of senior citizens growing older with fewer working age people to care for them. china's demographic ticking time bomb. i'm brent goff. to our viewers on pbs in the united states and all around the world, welcome. it began as a racist tweet and it has become a rallying cry for donald trump supporters. the u.s. president used a campaign rally to repeat his attack on a group of democratic congresswomen. when he mentioned the name bill han omar -- ilhan omar, the crowd of supporters began to chant this. >>chanting] sent her back! send her back! brent: send her back they chanted. the four women that trump had called on to go back from where they came from -- they are known as the squad. they are all young, all women of minority ethnicities and represent a new left wing of the democratic party calling foror progressive legislation, such as universal health care, a federal jobs program, and free college tuition. when confronted by a journalist in the oval office, the u.s. president

help us understand, the president is saying china won't come through. you can't trust china. listen, there's a lot of validity to that. you just pointed it out. but secretary mnuchin is in china right now trying to negotiate. how much more difficult does it make it for them to get a deal done with the president saying, don't trust the chinese? >> it doesn't help. i'm sure if you are mnuchin and picking up your phone in shanghai today and seeing these tweets you just kind of drop your head like oh, my god i can't believe he is doing this to me because he is sand bagging his own negotiators in shanghai as they are trying to come to an agreement. what this shows us is there is not going to be any big deal with china between now and the election but i think you see a little bit of a dialing down in the rhetoric. interestingly, in those tweets, stephanie, he did not say i am going to slap 25% tariffs on the rest of the 300 billion in chinese goods. he has backed away from that rhetoric. i've been reporting for a while they are likely to do this because they know it would be terrib

a letter that goes to china. they worried about losing the market share to the brazilians because of the tariffs, that the chinese are putting on our soybeans. what do you tell the farmers who want that market share back that they have lost? >> the president has their back as you know, sonny perdue is providing some assistance at osaka and president trump stood up for the farmers, the president xi jinping made a comment that the president was on the side of the former. they made a promise we will see if they keep the promise. in dothe meantime soybeans are important. let's see what happens but john j trump had the back of american farmers. david: brazil now has 52 percent of the chinese market. we have 31 percent. do you think we can reverse those numbers if we get a deal? >> of course, let's see what happens. i think that what's important now is to let the discussions happen behind closed doors, was there done it will be full transparency but in the meantime let's stay focused on the prize. remember david, what

china look at this. you know world big part of. lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. real crisis metaphysicians crisis and they sure. as a scale of financial disaster and got this right malaysia. and they bring to this. is unusual here when japan. for the problem of you say a group of substances which are the other being software that governments and international organisations do not govern of good will. so again that was pride month wraps up around the world the community seems to be divided in the us with competing rallies being held there and made claims the main event has become too commercialized the recurring pride coalition held a separate march in new york with quote no corporate flights no police says th

we need to get tough with china. if china has its way, it's going to keep moving and robbing u.s. firms of our technology, intellectual properties and forcing companies to give it away to do business in china. the most effective way we need to change is to build a united front of friends and partners to challenge china's abusive behavior. even as we seek to deepen cooperation on issues where our interests are converged like climate change and preventing a nuclear proliferation. there's not going to be a back to business as usual on trade with me. we need new rules. we need new processes. that has the voices of all the shareholders at the table including leaders representing labor and the environment. we must negotiate from the strongest possible position. on our own, we represent a quarter of the world's gdp. but when we're joined by fellow democracies, that number doubles. china can't afford to ignore half the global economy if we're united. that gives us substantial leverage to shape the future rules of the road on everything from the environment to labor to trade to technology

economy in terms of the way that china has been looking long term. about their economy they've been always talked about moving away from the manufacturing process and heading towards a more civil service sector scenario very much very similar to that is sort of western europe. at the end of the day if they if they want to try and get chinese to buy more products and keep the retail engine going in china some of these got to make those products yes they absolutely so but let's let's remember that the service sector currently accounts for 50 percent of china's economy now they would like to get that to about 7080 percent similar to western nations there's different ways of doing that one certain sector of that is the retail sector and retail sector held up really well in these particular numbers of which came out today. you want your own public to be able to consume more but in china it's been held back because of social security the so security net is privately funded by individuals and corporations not by the government so if you lose your job you ha

china trade war. one, what do you deem as the chances of a deal and two, what compromises must the two sides make for there to be a deal? jin: i think the chinese didn't talk about the trade war dispute. now since i'm in the international institution, i'm no longer the part of the chinese government, i look at this development. think, with- i also both eyes, you can see after the meeting between president xi and president trump, both sides need to sit down to talk, because only by working out the differences, try to understand each other better, and try to look at the issues from the perspective of the other side, probably it could be better for them to understand about the real issues, where you should believe,e, and people at least, there are a lot of chinese believe, cooperation and coordination would bring the situation to both countries. so i remain optimistic. i know there will be differences between two countries. historical,fferent social background. but over the last four decades, i will say

china trade negotiations resume and shanghai are we heading for a breakthrough our experts now. welcome to business live from berlin i want to get jones good to have you with us it's an exist but for some big names it's also the season of bad news german chemicals company bias as it is unlikely to achieve its profit goal for this year and the reason the company says it's now facing more than $18000.00 legal cases in the united states over a herbicide that's alleged to cost can set by i gave an update on the numbers as it posted its financial figures for the 2nd quarter. has been the subject of protests around the world in recent years perhaps like life or saying it is causing by a major headache but thousands of people in the usa the effects of the chemical for them has been even worse the weight of lawsuits have fallen on bias since its $87000000.00 takeover of monsanto the maker of weed killer round up which contains life a site in the 1st handful of those cases to go to court juries found in favor. of those who claim the chemical gave them cancer and awarded them huge compens

i was with president xi of china . talk about doing something and talked about it briefly and it is very sad. will you be delaying the census? that a census, if , they spendhis work billions of dollars on the census and you're not allowed to ask, not indoors, check houses and you are not allowed to ask whether or not somebody is a citizen? you can ask other things, but can ask if someone is a citizen? we are trying to do that. is -- it isu think so important to ask? betweena big difference being a citizen of the united states and being illegal. treatmocrats want to citizens in than the country. these people got sick working for the united states and we treat people that just walked in better. you look at california how they are treating people. they don't treat their people as well as they treat immigrants, so what point does it stop? it is very unfair to our citizens and we are going to stop it, but you may need an election to stop it in we may need to get back to the house. they are speaking very much. >> it actually

for example china is also has also been accused the americans or circumvent the. american restrictions on purchase in oil from iraq but it wouldn't take that much money americans to deter china for continuing supply iranian oil why because china's economic progress over the last 30 years begin in revenge which has been miraculous has absolutely based on china's trade and investment relationship with america and the chinese will not do anything to jeopardize that and if that means they stop whining oil from iran then beijing will do that's what's crucial to the chinese economy is america. i mean but there's this sense of process here i agree with marcus papadopoulos i mean they're the dollar isn't going to collapse overnight but it's starting a trend and starting a trend where if you want to avoid political problems maybe diversify your portfolio and not rely so much on the dollar and of course with the political and geopolitical events going on in the middle east i mean the petro dollar is at stake here nothing short of that go ahead well right now 60 percent of t

in asia is rising china and all of the countries and i'm china buying more and more weapons is the way it is one beneficiary of it and. bank accounts of the military industries in america i don't worry about. you don't worry about it that some say that because there's a lot of people on the receiving end proppant and dad ok patrick. the interesting thing is. actually the same question that i asked and i can't i'm going to say hang on a hang on let me go to patrick fair time for a time for everyone here it said you know there is already a plan out there it's the russians and the chinese that how but i mean trump would be very very wise to embrace it go ahead patrick. sure sure i mean the there's a number of other issues here wider geopolitical issues one of them is you can't separate the negotiations on on korea between the united denuclearization negotiations you can't separate this with what's going on between the u.s. and iran at the moment these 2 are inextricably linked and i think what the united states is trying to do in trump administration's art of the deal sort of way is to tr

the china-u.s. trade war. they're saying that more progress is being made in diversifying china's export markets. this is the commerce mini city official speaking. of course, this follows the truce between trump and xi. president trump saying that conversations and trade talks have restarted between the u.s. and china but a big focus have been on to what extent companies have been moving their supply chains out of china to other jurisdictions like vietnam. rish? rishaad: yes, also, let's have a ok at -- allianz's chief economic advisor saying an insurance cut by the federal reserve is not 100 basis points, adding that he is baffled by such a thought. the opinion column first said such a need for a rate cut would indicate something is deeply wrong with the economy. >> it's a relatively number we just got and speaks to the u.s. being able to resist the downward gravity from what the happening in the rest of the world and that is good news and i think that that reflects that the u.s. is still more clos

, even in your trade deal with china, a lot of people said that, look, we don't want to rattle china while we're negotiating, with china on the trade deal. no, you are so wrong because the moral authority america has is a great force, a great leverage against china in this -- in this nation because that's one thing that china doesn't have, it is the one thing they are most vulnerable to. why can't you use it? if china sits down to negotiate, that means they need the deal. if they don't sit down to negotiate, nothing matters. maria: so you say, look, don't do a deal because you want economic prosperity with china, and you just throw away their human rights abuses and don't look at it. i spoke with secretary pompeo recently, and the secretary of state told me what they are doing in terms of rounding up certain groups and putting them in jail, basically. listen to this. >> there's also enormous -- it's not economic in a pure sense, but humanitarian concerns as well. we've seen as they continue to collect information and use it in ways they are anithetical of what you and i believe human

hopes for a china deal as the president says china is trying to run out the clock. the country would prefer almost anyone to negotiate a deal than him. we'll get to the bottom of that. there is new information about all the info being hacked. about 1/3 of americans hit by this capital one breach. you could be in that breach. what do you do to protect yourself? democrats agreeing on a plan to tax wall street. the only variation is in the details. trust me, would you be hit no matter how much you're invested. fed kicking off two-day meeting. the issue isn't whether they will cut but how much they will cut. consensus is quarter point in interest rates you never know. fbn lauren simonetti is with us. >> 25 point basis cutter is considered bake in the cake. markets predict 76% chance is the size we get tomorrow. president trump wants more. >> i would like to see a large cut. i would like to see immediately the quantitative tightening stopped. see the tightening stopped. stop the quantitate tightening and raising rates was a big mistake. >> he says they are doing the oppo

to say china is a problem. look, this is going to be a major focus of the 2020 campaign, regardless of who the democratic nominee is. if it is biden, that represents a big target for trump politically. this is one of trump's core sort of issues that he ran on, that he's trying to deliver on. it's important for the economy. and if he has joe biden up there saying china is, well, they're not really a competitor, maybe they are, maybe they aren't, it's a big opportunity. maria: michelle obama was talking with gayle king about the 2020 election and why she and president obama haven't gotten behind anybody, i think the obama's will get behind kamala harris. that's my bet. >> i don't know if they're going to jump in the primary. it's interesting. what they're not doing, they're not defending joe biden and that speaks volumes. they don't have to endorse him but they could defend him. maria: on the deutsche bank story, your reaction? deutsche bank keeps getting weaker, getting out of global equities entirely, stock is

., not china. i do not know what it would like to have, but they have to support the outcome of the summit and maybe support for the resumption of talks. china wants to be the major player in this game. i do not know what action china will take. i am wondering what this invitation from the white house that president trump has extended to kim jong-un -- does he deserve that kind of honor? a dictator.l he is almost legitimizing kim jong-un. >> for the sake of the peace and stability, we have to think thet having kim jong-un in white house. it all depends on the outcome of the working level meeting. we do not have a concrete guarantee before the summit, i do not think it is possible to have him in new york or malaga. that was not the first case. president clinton was very close to coming to pyongyang. maybe the president will come to pyongyang. in first president actually pyongyang to have a summit with kim jong-un. yvonne: it seems like kim jong-un only once deal with president trump. anyone below hi
