Fresh update on "chinese" discussed on TIME's Top Stories
"What Europe can do next to re contain Russia by Liam Byrne. Bern is chair of the parliamentary network on the World Bank and IMF. And a member of the UK's House of Commons, foreign affairs committee. As Chinese president Xi Jinping visited the Kremlin this week, Russian expansionism is getting a tacit nod of approval. Vladimir Putin will likely emerge emboldened from the talks with his fellow president for life, who previously promised a friendship without limits. That is why the UK and its European partners must work far faster to develop a grand strategy for re containing Russia in Ukraine and on three global fronts, where Chinese support will help Putin advance. Africa, Central Asia, and crucially, the Arctic. Containment was first proposed by the American analyst George Keenan in 1946, as a strategy for a long-term patient, but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies. It later became the Truman doctrine and today we need the same approach again. In Africa, Europe must now find a way to counter the brutal Wagner group of mercenaries that has opened a second Russian front, especially in the Sahel, controlled by yevgeny bogosian, the Wagner group is waging war and at least 5 African nations runs social media influence operations in several more, and as knitted together illicit business networks that have helped channel over $250 million into Putin's war coffers. And Central Asia, that vast space once crisis crossed by spies and soldiers in the 19th century great game between Britain and Russia, a new battle for influence is underway. Along Russia's southern Flank, former Soviet states are looking for new partners as its younger citizens seek education and opportunity in the west. But closest to home is the Arctic, where Russia is reopening Cold War era bases above the Arctic circle, and reinforcing the Cola Peninsula, home to the ballistic nuclear missile submarines that provide Russia's second strike capability. Here, Russia is also advancing its claim to the Arctic's 1100 mile long underwater lomonosov ridge that divides the Arctic basin and would hugely extend Russia's sovereign rights to critical minerals like palladium, cobalt, and nickel, providing the Kremlin with billions in new revenues.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: 'Joe Biden Inc. Is Compromised' By China
"Happy to have back on the program with us today the senator from Tennessee, senator Marsha Blackburn senator welcome. I'm delighted to join you. Thank you so much for having me back. Well, it's always good to talk to you and we always learn a lot. Right now, the U.S. does not quite have the capability to handle all the fentanyl that's coming across our border by way of China. In fact, April Haynes was just saying and we just played earlier a clip of her saying that we don't have the capacity. She's kind of surprised that, you know, there aren't enough agents, there aren't enough analysts to deal with this if we don't have enough people dealing with the fentanyl crisis coming from China. What's the reality and upshot of that? And the upshot should be that Joe Biden picks up the phone and calls Xi Jinping and says, hey buddy, you know that $1 trillion trade deficit we had with you last year. That's going to stop. If you don't cut it out when it comes to this fentanyl that you are manufacturing and you've buddied up with the cartels, we know what you're doing. You're sending it across our border and it is adversely impacting. So many of our communities. And by the way, we're going to run the cartels out of this country. But Joe Biden won't do that. Because it appears the more we learn that Joe Biden, his family and Biden incorporated, are compromised on some front. So the Chinese Communist Party does not fear him.

China calls Xi's Russia visit one of friendship, peace
"China says president Xi Jinping's just concluded visit to Russia was a journey of friendship cooperation and peace. The trip signaled no new progress in ending the bloody conflict in Ukraine, while shoring up, president Vladimir Putin standing amid growing efforts to isolate him and his government internationally. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wen bin says China will remain neutral in the conflict and its efforts were aimed at promoting peace talks, Wang also accused the U.S. of lacking impartiality and fanning the flames of the conflict by providing defensive weapons to Ukraine.

Biden's Crimes Are Far Worse Than Trump's
"Biden doesn't want you to think about ESG. He doesn't want you to think about upcoming local elections. I am as outraged as you are about a Trump arrest, and we're going to talk more about that on this show today. And we also talked about that yesterday, but we need to realize that Biden's failures are not just failures. They are deliberate acts of sabotage. This applies to a Trump arrest as well. If Trump is arrested by corrupt leftists in New York, that's not an accident. That's not a blunder. That's an act of sabotage. The same is true of most everything else on Biden's record. Look at the disastrous and bloody Afghanistan pullout. That was a debacle so utterly botched that it will likely negatively impact our diplomatic and war fighting abilities. For generations. Yet no one was held accountable there. And because the incompetence people were not removed, the same Pentagon was caught flat footed, trying to respond to a Chinese spy balloon. Secretary of transportation, Pete Buttigieg, was caught twiddling his thumbs over multiple supply chain crisis affecting food supplies for babies and adults alike, as well as they suspected hack of our air traffic control systems. Not one to rest on his laurels. He can now claim a giant mushroom cloud of toxic and carcinogenic gas as a recent accomplishment. What could better represent his tenure than a literal toxic flaming trainwreck? The talentless political hacks and diversity hires in the DoJ, Homeland Security, intelligence agencies, Department of Education, and State Department have been caught repeatedly engaging in state directed censorship. Political and religious targeting and developing legal theories to establish thought crime. And each time they get caught, the media ignores the disaster, and these same anti American plants go right back to work undermining the essential pillars of American government.

Why America's Navy Is No Longer Best in the Sea
"Back in America, as I said the most important thing. Not just to the Hugh Hewitt show audience, but to the world is that the communist Chinese party had Xi Jinping. The strong man, the totalitarian ruler of all of China, head of the Chinese Communist Party has been in Moscow for two days, meeting whether he calls his junior partner Putin, it reminds you of Hitler and Mussolini, if you know your history in 39 getting together, that's why I asked doctor Hendricks to come on today, Jerry Hendricks will be on an hour three to discuss his brand new essay in the Atlantic, which is really caught the attention of Washington D.C.. Because the Atlantic is the last magazine that many people read in America in hardcover copy form. And the title of the article is the age of American naval dominance is over. The subheading is the United States has seated the oceans to its enemies. We can no longer take freedom of the seas for granted. And this is sort of something I talk about a lot for the last, I don't know, ten years. When Donald Trump was running and promising a 355 ship navy, that didn't come about the biggest failure of the Trump years was the failure to get the shipyards expanded up and running, getting a navy plan. And the key facts that I'll be talking about with doctor hendrickson an hour three is that the United States had 6700 chips at sea at the end of World War II. By the end of Eisenhower administration, we were down to a thousand, which is consistent with the Cold War, and then it fell and fell and fell until regular arrived and rebuilt the navy to 590 ships that had the deterrent effect on the Soviet Union. It fell apart. And then in our wisdom, we thought the end of history had arrived and we are now at 271 ships afloat. And doctor Hendricks says, the complications of that, the implications of that are so profound that people don't even see the obvious in front of them. So I'm

The Expansion of China's Navy
"Want to play for you in anticipation of mine the next segment reading you a large part of Jerry Hendricks essay in the Atlantic. And he'll be along in the last hour. A bit that played on 60 minutes. It's the perfect backdrop as is the Hendricks article which I've just pushed out on Twitter if you're following me on Twitter, you hear it. On Sunday Night, two nights ago, toshi yoshihiro is on talking as were other guests talking with 60 minutes about the massive stunning expansion of the Chinese blue water fleet. Give a listen to this cut number 16. There is a tendency among the great powers to look at each other's naval buildups with deep suspicion. Toshi yoshihara of the center for strategic and budgetary assessments may know more than any scholar in the west, about China's navy. China will have about 440 ships by 2030. And that's according to the Pentagon. Why is China able to build more warships more quickly than the U.S.? China has clearly invested in this defense industrial infrastructure to produce these ships. Which allows them to produce multiple ships simultaneously, essentially out building many of the western navy's combined.

House GOP Demands the NYC District Attorney Turnover Documents
"The house GOP demands the New York City district attorney turnover documents and give testimony as to the politically motivated persecution of Donald Trump. That's a great sign. That would not have happened a decade ago. Paul Ryan and his pack of moderates would have been like, wow, this is not us. We don't want to interview with an investigation. That's ridiculous. I'm glad they're doing that. I'm talking about district attorneys. I'm talking about attorney generals. Do we have a current grand jury right now in a red state? Against Joe Biden, the treason he's committed against America, if not, why not ask your attorney general? Do we have a current investigation into the Clinton crime foundation of the crimes that they committed against the American homeland or maybe even committed in Arkansas, by the way? Arkansas is a super red state that the clintons and the bidens have both heavily trafficked throughout the last couple of years. You're trying to tell me that you couldn't find a misdemeanor that Hunter Biden committed an Arkansas. So if this is the new threshold, if the new threshold American politics is, wow, you have a misdemeanor of a payment to stormy Daniels that could be classified as a campaign finance thing. Then what exactly would you call it when you get a $3 million wire from a Chinese Communist Party affiliated company? Why does a Republican district attorney not investigate them right now? I don't want excuses. I want answers and you should too.

Liberals Are Salivating Over Trump's Potential Arrest
"Are jubilant. There's a hashtag arrest miss. They are celebrating. They are salivating. You see, when you do not have a belief in the divine or the internal or you do not have a strong ethical code, you find meaning in the cruelty of others and the treatment of others. And Donald Trump has been made as a hitlerian type figure. And right now liberals all across the Internet are celebrating. They're having parties. They're saying that finally we are doing it and they're going to realize that, okay, Donald Trump gets fingerprinted in the process. Your life is still super miserable with all your cats and your apartment in Brooklyn. It doesn't make your life any better. All of a sudden, because Donald Trump has to fly in and has to fight a felony. It's a really bad way to run your life. To all of a sudden, act as if your meaning is connected to somebody else's life becoming more difficult. But that's what you get when you have an entire university system that isn't built on wisdom or goodness. So the left is celebrating their salivating, it's happening in great numbers. And this is all built on revenge. It's built on revenge because it was the regime that never got implemented. Donald Trump disrupted so much of this. In particular in the courts and the international scene from how he rearranged NATO to getting out of the parents climate accord to redoing nafta to finally holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable. And if it wasn't for the virus and the lockdowns and the infiltration of Fauci and Burke's into the Trump government, then Donald Trump would easily have won four more years. In fact, of course, we believe if it wasn't for Zucker bucks and the mail in ballots and the signature verification, he would still be president.

Why the Potential Trump Charges Are Pure Fiction
"Is that Donald Trump and his own private life paid stormy Daniels is a hush money payment as a way to try and influence the 2016 presidential campaign. This is such this is beyond an abuse of the criminal justice system. Even if you hate Donald Trump, even if you are the most anti Trump person, you can not possibly justify. That this is what the criminal justice system is for. This is not even a novel legal theory. This is a fiction of the legal code. Signs indicate that Bragg's plan is to claim that Trump's payments to stormy Daniels were improperly classified as a legal expense. Now, even that would just be a misdemeanor of true, so to make it a felony like Bragg has been saying that it's a crime was committed to cover up another crime and the theory goes that it goes a bigger crime making this any illegal campaign contribution. This is such an abuse. That basically says any spending in your personal life is actually for a political campaign. And then it just begs the question, was Donald Trump selling our country out to the Chinese Communist Party, so his cocaine addicted son could make money in our national security could be compromised. Did Donald Trump smash a bunch of devices even though they were under subpoena? And they just disappeared. Did Donald Trump engage in a summer of love of looting and fire and arson, of course not. A city that is more dangerous than ever and the local DA is going straight after the 45th president of the United States. Why is this happening?

China's Xi meeting Putin in boost for isolated Russia leader
"Chinese leader Xi Jinping is meeting today with Russia's Vladimir Putin. Today's meeting in Moscow between the Chinese and Russian leaders is a political boost for an isolated Vladimir Putin after the International Criminal Court charged him with war crimes and Ukraine, on Fox News Sunday, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. will be monitoring for news about what the two leaders say about Ukraine. China has not condemned Putin's invasion of Ukraine. They are still buying Russian oil and energy resources. And they have at least given tacit approval because they've taken the Russian claim that this is somehow an existential threat against Russia that the war is the west's fault.

John Solomon Discusses China's Treaty Violations and the Wuhan Lab
"Is COVID origin secrets near the classification that in itself is exciting. Wuhan a lab's ties to China military burst into focus, talk to us about the latest things we need to know about our country, our government and the military biodefense lab in communist China, John. It's extraordinary. So no matter where we end up on whether the COVID-19 virus leaked from the lab or not, obviously the FBI energy department House intelligence committee Senate health committee all believe it did and growing other number of intelligence committees believe that. But here's the bigger question. No matter what happened with COVID-19, there is now irrefutable proof that the United States government has known since 2005 that China was violating its own treaties to not do offensive biological weapons they had an offensive biological weapons program. It was based in the Chinese People's Liberation Army at an entity called the academy of military medical sciences specifically the 5th institute. The State Department declared that in a document in 2005. Over the decade after they made that declaration, wide open evidence that the MMS that academy we just talked about was working with the Wuhan institute of virology, the place where we think the COVID-19 virus worked on. What were they working on? On Anthony Fauci's own site. On the NIH, you can find this. There was a study on anthrax. There was a study, a book, a book that said, coronaviruses as a class are going to be the leading edge of a new era of genetic warfare. That's the Chinese words, not mine. Those are the sort of things that were going on between scientists at the Wuhan institute of virology. And the academy of military medical sciences in China, the place that we said was the epicenter of an illicit bioweapons program, despite all that knowledge, despite all that evidence, no one in the intelligence committee, no one in the national Institutes of health. No one in the State Department stopped it. Millions of dollars flowed from U.S. agencies to the Wuhan institute of virology. And now we're hearing maybe also directly to the academy, the

Boris Epshteyn Reacts to Eric Swalwell's Latest Comments
"Republican rhetoric has put a target on the backs of all law enforcement. And I say that with concern with two brothers who serve as police officers and walk the beat every day because if you're hearing defund the FBI and that the FBI was responsible for a false flag operation, you don't distinguish between an FBI special agent and police officer in your community. You just consider it as law enforcement and the quote unquote deep stated. And so that's why we saw the attack that we did at the FBI field office. And we're going to continue to see attacks on law enforcement. So a couple of comments and I will unleash the baron. Number one, he thinks the average American doesn't know the difference between a police officer and a federal agent. Number two, this is the man who had sex with a Chinese intelligence officer. And number three, he wants us to believe that it's the Republicans who want to defund the police. Your reaction baron. This is the alternate world that Democrats will, of course, is the president a little bit. Defund the police is what Democrats have been pushing is a radical Democrat souls back to you have done. They've ruined destroyed cities like Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Detroit. Washington D.C.. This has been a disaster under Democrat rule. Democrats have ruined safety. They've ruined American American cities and they've unleashed a crime wave. Any we've seen before. Swollen knows it. He's just lying about it because that's what he does. He's a liar.

Hunter Biden Admits Laptop Belongs to Him
"I want to work on connecting the dots with some of these cultural issues. Tying or connecting the dots with the corruption. All right, so what I was telling you about the Hunter Biden laptop, we were telling you about the $3 million that would split in three ways between the Biden crime family. There was another partner involved whose name escapes me at this point. I'll get that back to you later. Halle Biden is the new Biden member that got a little bit of that Chinese communist cash. And then there's still an unknown Biden. So we'll have to wait and see if Joe Biden is named, but listen, we know that Hunter Biden is not going to make money, we're not for his dad being the vice president or being the president of the United States. Now, they pick on this guy, John Mack Isaac. Isaac said a man who believed who he believed to be Hunter Biden dropped off three laptops, all right? At his store, this was in April 2019, only one was salvageable. He repaired the laptop, and then that's where he when he discovered the disturbing material. He said the customer did not return. We now know that customer is Hunter Biden for 90 days, all right? He couldn't get in touch with him. So Isaac said he first searched the emails by key word in June or July of 2019, according to Isaac's account, the FBI first made a forensic copy of the laptop, then returned weeks later with the subpoena to confiscate the laptop. When he stopped hearing from the FBI, the FBI, they're still holding the laptop to this day. You know, ran by Christopher wray, the not so not so moral FBI today. When he stopped hearing from the FBI, Isaac said he contacted several members of Congress. They just simply didn't respond. They didn't respond. So at that point, his intermediary reached out to Rudy Giuliani's attorney, Robert Costello. Now, Hunter Biden has seemingly acknowledged our admitted that the laptop was his back in February of this year or last month, but I don't know what gave it away. I don't know if it was his body naked body being all over the freaking thing that gave it away or what, but he finally admitted to it. These people are morons.

No, I mean, you're talking about his budget. Budget proposal. Yeah, fortunately, it's not law. It's a budget. It's even our budget. If when we produce it, sets our priorities. And I can tell you that our priorities are for us to become more fiscally responsible. We would like to not increase taxes. We would prefer to make it to the best you can to come to America. But you know, they have all these things in there for climate and they actually want to cut funding to the Department of Homeland Security. When we have this porous border that we were just basically talking about when we talk about the drug, the drug problem, their budget includes basically millions of dollars to help Planned Parenthood for abortion, you know, all these things as culture of death that they seem to be so in favor of, you know, that's really, you know, where they are. Well, I think they need to start praying and send the Pledge of Allegiance a little more. There's something to be said for patriotism for being proud of your country from being proud of all that we have accomplished as a nation. I'll tell you, you know what?

ICC Issues Arrest Warrant for Putin Over Ukraine War Crimes
"Well, I think the international court just made it pretty darn clear to China and to the rest of the world that there is no fixing this thing. They're accusing Vladimir Putin of war crimes. There is a warrant out for his arrest. They are saying that he took children from Ukraine, removed children from Ukraine. It is an unusual move. Look, the international court, well, they don't really do a whole lot. Shall we say, let's be honest. But what's historic about this particular case is that they're making an accusation against a member of the Security Council. So they're going right after him. I mean, you know, the Russians are like, well, who cares? You know, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter for us. I do suspect it matters a bit for China. So if China is pairing itself with the likes of someone that the rest of the world views as a war criminal, then we ought to be doing a whole lot more to sanction China to position China so that it has no influence in the rest of the world. Listen, Russia's economy is nothing. And they got oil, which has been sanctioned, that's partly why we've seen oil prices, actually they're a little bit lower today, but they have moved up. But that's all I got. I mean, Russia does not have a thriving economy, not without the rest of the world. And even if they pair up with China, China needs us. China needs the west. So we have a lot more leverage than anyone in this administration understands or is trying to use.

"It was a momentous occasion, one that fulfilled a dream of the four railroad barons and the U.S. government because it would reduce the travel time from the east coast of the U.S. to the West Coast from 6 months to a week. They commemorated the moment by hammering the final golden spike, and like many of us who record memories, they took a photograph. One that I remember from my history book. It's a celebratory photo that is two engineers from the two railroad companies shaking hands with laborers on the train engines holding champagne bottles aloft. However, there was one major problem. They intentionally left out the Chinese workers, given the racism and specific anti Chinese sentiment at the time, it's not shocking that they would do that. You know what's even more shocking at the 100 year commemoration of the completion of the United States first transcontinental railroad, they kind of forgot the Chinese again. That's right. On May 10th, 1969, there was a crowd of 20,000 gathered and the Centennial officials even agreed to set aside 5 minutes of the ceremony for the Chinese historical society of America, so they could pay homage to the Chinese workers who were instrumental in building the railroad. Unfortunately, much like the photo 100 years prior, transportation secretary John a volpi ended up glossing over the Chinese contribution again. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, he only made a quote passing mention of the Chinese and didn't give the 5 minutes promise to the Chinese historical society of America. In fact, volpe is quoted as saying, quote, who else but Americans could drill ten tunnels in mountains 30 feet deep in snow, who else but Americans could chisel through miles of solid granite. Who else but Americans could have laid ten miles of track in 12 hours. Almost 90% of the workforce was made up of Chinese laborers, and many of them were migrants from China labeled as aliens ineligible to become U.S..

She's also participated in three Olympics making her disappearance all the more prominent. But it's not just people with name recognition that are disappearing. Human rights group safeguard defenders estimates that more than 45,000 people were subjected to a form of secret attention since president Xi Jinping assumed power in 2013. LA times Beijing bureau chief aliso has been investigating this phenomenon and now joins us. Alice, welcome to the times. Hey Gustavo, it's good to be here. There's another Chinese celebrities who have vanished from public site for months. So I'm thinking former Alibaba CEO Jack Ma and actress Jo way. But pung's disappearance garnered worldwide attention and condemnation. Why? Well, I think first of all, it's important to distinguish that pung is really different from people like Jack Ma and Jae. Before she disappeared, she wrote this explosive allegation on Weibo Chinese social media and there have been me too accusations in China before, but Weibo posts was the first time that a me too case has taken on anyone who is so high up in the Communist Party leadership. John galli, the person that she accused of sexual abuse was a vice premier of the Communist Party. So that just means he holds incredible power in China. And China, of course, has a long record of human rights abuses going with the Uyghurs and western China and other opponents. But in this case, it seems feminism, especially coming with this me too boom, it is really put the Chinese Communist Party on the offensive and defense at the same time. That's true, and it's also interesting because she's known to be a fairly patriotic athlete on national holidays and so on. She always posts the flag. She talks about how proud she is to be Chinese. And her post, if you read what she actually wrote, it wasn't saying anything like we need to stand up for human rights or down with the Communist Party and it was very personal. We also got to me was I think in one of the first few lines she said, you know, I know I've done something wrong and I know that even if I say there's nothing will change, but I still want to speak. You know, she was blaming herself for a lot of it. So what happened once a letter came out? Well, it's interesting that it came out a few outlets wrote about it and said, you know, this is a big deal. But then it disappeared. And there was this mass censorship of Pong of John gali of anything related to them on the Chinese Internet to the point where for a while, even the word tennis, you could search tennis, and you would find no results. So it was just clear the authorities were so clear to wipe it out. And for a few weeks, it kind of just faded out of view. That is until maybe two weeks later, the women's tennis association spoke up. The women's tennis association has demanded a full investigation and is prepared to pull tournaments out of the country if it does not get an appropriate response. Top players include Naomi Osaka and Novak Djokovic have spoken out and the hashtag where is peg Shui is trending on 9. First it was a big deal that the WTA had said something and they wanted to support punk. And then secondly, a few days after that happened, CGTN, which is a Chinese state media account released a screenshot on Twitter of an email. They said was from Steve Simon the head of the WTA and basically they just tweeted this little block of text that said, hello everyone. This is punk shy. I am fine. I've just been resting at home. I think it was really this tweet that.

"It was a very lucrative business. So to be able to associate with these people to make them look good to write poems, compose poems with them, that was good for business. So it was definitely advantageous. I'm not sure if it was required or if it was necessary, but it certainly did help. So up to this point we've covered the sources we've covered who these merchants were, why they're going out to see where they're coming from. And as a final closing question, I was just wondering, in your research in your opinion, do these merchants have a bigger role to play? Earlier you had said that during the Tang dynasty trade was more tight, diplomacy, whereas after the Tang dynasty, private trade becomes more for the sake of private trade. So did these merchants have a bigger contribution aside from simply trading goods? In terms of their role in society and between societies and across regions, they were doing a lot of a lot of different things. So first of all, they were trading prestige goods. Very, very expensive items. It seems that early on that was mainly what they were trading. Do you have some examples of what these prestige goods were? Yeah, so from Japan, Japan would just be giving gold straight up gold, gold dust, some other products as well, even some manufactured products from fairly early early on. But gold, that's what the Chinese and Korean merchants wanted from Japan the most. And in return, they would get ceramics. That was a very big item, silks, they would be getting medicines, foodstuffs, it was mainly prestige goods, probably from the 9th century on but afterwards and around the 11th century and afterwards you see more commodities. Japan starts trading sulfur, sulfur becomes a very big export, China starts shipping out lots and lots, tens of millions of copper coins to Japan and what they're trading what's important begins to change. So in terms of trade goods, those were the hot items, but it was not only that there was also an exchange of religion. So Chinese and Korean merchants were shipping monks back and forth between the Korean Peninsula and China between Japan and China and along with those monks were texts, sculptures, Buddhist images. That was also important. There were ideas. So books probably about one or two centuries before private trade began, the embassies were bringing back books about Confucianism and Chinese philosophy. So ideas were going back and forth as well. And one final thing that hasn't gotten a lot of attention is that immigration was a big thing too. We know that Chinese were going to the Korean Peninsula since the fall of the Han dynasty and earlier. And Chinese were also setting up communities in Japan as well. At first, there was one main community in hakata, which is present day fukuoka. But then you see indications of Chinese setting up communities on that same island and later in other areas as well. And then, of course, in later centuries, there's Chinese communities in Osaka and ryukyu and Tokyo and whatnot. So the flow of people was also important. And a lot of these people moved on merchant ships. Yeah, I mean, we're not just going to Japan, right? But also to Southeast Asia where you see all these Chinese merchant colonies popping up, especially when we get to the early modern period in the 16th and 17th century, and even the initial arrival of the Europeans didn't disrupt this dynamic and destroyed. In fact, the Europeans got very much involved and they helped push it along..

"And it's just a collection of I think about 18 poems and 7 letters and almost all of it is written by merchants. But the reason they were preserved was because they were letters to the monk and chain. And the temple where enchin where he operated on Joji, they kept that information, I think, because it was relative to the patriarch of their sect. So it made end chain look good, really. You have all these poems written on his behalf, giving respect to him, discussing Buddhism. It painted engine in a very good light. It's hard to really speculate what the motivations are, but it made engine look good, and I would assume that that might have been the reason why it was preserved. And do you think then that there are literary abilities would have helped them in their trading ventures? That's a good question. And I absolutely do think so. Because there's a lot of power in writing, especially in the old days, you know, a thousand years ago, there weren't many people who are literate. If you were literate, you were essentially belonging to an elite culture. And in East Asia, the dominant form of writing was, of course, syndic Chinese writing. So these merchants by virtue of being able to compose poems to write these very nice letters to comment on the classical Chinese texts, they were participating in this elite form of culture that you could see not only in the Chinese capital in the Chinese courts, but you could also see it in the Korean courts and in the Japanese courts and among Japanese aristocracy. So that kind of allowed them to associate with these types of people. And these people were their customers. In Japan, it was the aristocracy. It was the court that was buying Chinese goods. They were spending a lot of wealth to get these goods..

"So from the 9th century until about just the end of the tenth century, they're almost all from zhejiang province, the modern day zhejiang province. After that, it kind of changes and you see a lot more Fujian merchants coming into the picture. And they dominate sea trade from that point on until about a hundred years ago. They just kept that domination through and through you see them in later later centuries all over Southeast Asia all over the Indian Ocean in Japan in Korea. They go all over the place. But you also do see some merchants from places like suzhou and areas a little further north as for who they were. That's an interesting question as well. Typically, people look at them from the point of view of the official sources, the Chinese sources, where they're just simply record as merchants. That's it. They're just plain old merchants. That's their occupational status that's it. But if you really look at the Japanese sources, you get a different perspective. You see that these people are literate. A lot of them are literate. They can read they can write. They can compose really well in terms of written works and poetry. Some of them are I wouldn't say excellent poets, but they're decent poets. You know, they wouldn't hold up toward the most famous Chinese poets. But a lot of them are literate, and that begs the question of why they were literate. Because it takes a lot of resources, right? You have to educate a child from early on. You have to buy and collect all these books. You need to have a teacher. If someone in your family can't do it, you have to hire tutors. It's a big commitment to make you need wealth to do that. And ultimately, the goal usually is to serve in government. So I'm writing an article now where I'm arguing that they were essentially most of them belonged to the gentry class. And some of them I would think that their families were tied either to local government or even state government. By the Song dynasty, it becomes more clear that they had connections with the state government. So that's a very interesting point because we've just gone over how Confucianism has this bias and hostility towards commerce. Yet here you have members of the gentry who, as you said, they study, they take the exams to become government officials. So why would members of the gentry be engaged in commerce? Yeah, my take at the moment is that you would have a family in the gentry. This is more clear in the Song dynasty, but I think you could probably make this argument or at least put forward the theory that even during the 9th century gentry families they had their foot in many doors. It wasn't just serving in government..

"Best place to look for maritime trade is Japanese sources. Because the Chinese sources from the Tang dynasty onward. So until about until about the early tenth century, most of what you have regarding commerce was all recorded in the dynastic records, and those were very much restricted towards what you could write about how you could write about something. And talking about merchants, it was it was at times derogatory to call someone a merchant. It wasn't something somebody wanted to be called because there were implications that it was morally inappropriate that you were amassing wealth. You were greedy. So if you're only looking at legal codes or dynastic chronicles, what you're going to see about merchants, most of it's not going to look very good. So it's going to be limited in what they're talking about a lot of the times they talk about people amassing too much wealth or the sons of merchants kind of sneaking into the exams once some way finding out how to take the civil service exams so they can enter the government. There's a lot of disdain in these types of records. But after that, once the Tang dynasty collapses and there's decentralization, some of these states, especially in the south of China, they're taking on mercantile list policies and commerce becomes very important to the survival of these states. So you see in these official histories, commerce becoming more important, there's more discussion of maritime trade. And then, by the Song dynasty, of course, like I said, this is when there's a lot more written materials available, not just from the official government sources, but all kinds of guys and records private records from individuals..

"Before that, though, I think an important thing to keep in mind is that before the an lushan rebellion in the 7 50s, most of the trade that was happening between China and outline states was through diplomatic embassies. And that did continue for centuries after that. Right. The tributary system. Exactly. And the Ming dynasty much later on it went back. It kind of reverted to that system. But what was happening the de facto means of trade was that governments would come with embassies via land by a C and a lot of trade would happen in this context. After the and lussan rebellion, at least in Japan, but it seems also in Korea and maybe even, which was to the northeast of the Korean Peninsula. It seems that there was more private sea trade for Japan that was definitely the case. The embassy in the 8 30s, that was essentially the last C embassy for centuries afterwards. Another one was planned towards the end of the 9th century that the Japanese court was planning to send one to China. But there was a lot of reasons not to go, there was rebellion in China. There was a lot of strife going on. So the embassy ultimately was not sent. What we see is that after the an lushan rebellion, at least in East Asia, there's a very big transition from trade that goes on through official diplomacy and trade that goes on between private intermediaries. So it's an interesting adjustment. And it wasn't a sharp adjustment either because in this period of transition, you start to see embassies that aren't even hiding the fact that the reason they're arriving in one country is just purely for the sake of trade. They're not even trying to hide it..

"Welcome to the Chinese history podcast. I'm aiming her. And I'm Greg Sadler. Today our topic is maritime C trade in East Asia during the period, which is roughly around the tenth to the 12th century. Now, in recent decades, scholarship on maritime sea trade in early modern East Asia, that is around the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th century, has really taken off and there are a lot of books and articles published on this subject, but I find that scholarship on maritime trade during the Taunton period is still somewhat lacking. Now obviously this is a topic that you've been working on for a long time. So could you start by telling us what attracts you to this period? Yeah, that's a good question. Right now there's a lot of scholarly attention on the tongue song transition. I think what a lot of scholars are attracted to is that it kind of goes beyond political dimensions. There's a lot of changes happening and so after the Tang dynasty collapses, these changes are going into periods where there's this union. There's small states. And then they carry on until the next empire. So I think what a lot of scholars are interested in is just kind of figuring out what's driving these changes. What's going on? What are the continuities? What are the big major changes how they affect society, the economy? And of course, politics is a major topic as well. And for those who don't know about the tonsil transition, can you briefly explain what historians mean when they refer to a Tang song transition? So in about the year 7 55 around that time, there's a big massive massive rebellion there and lussan rebellion. And that pretty much devastates the north of the country. It causes massive patterns of decentralization and that really I think spurs on. That's really the kickstart of the transition. So as the capital, the political elites and the capital tried to maintain their power, try to claw back power over the outlying provinces. There's other trends going in place. It seems that there's a lot less government regulation going on from the center. So suddenly we see a lot of economic activity, particularly in the southeast and the south along the coast. There's a lot of economic activity that's spurred in these areas. And there's also movement of people. I mean, the trends of Chinese people moving to the south that can be traced all the way back to the end of the Han dynasty in the third century, but this an lushan rebellion really spurs this big change. There's people fleeing towards the south, fleeing towards other areas..

"Back in june. I think it was that China has a borough ethnic tight capability which is referring to russia's nuclear powered cruise missile. And then there was the disclosure of these huge. Icbm fields silo fields out in the chinese desert over the summer. So there's a lot going on there and so we'll see where it goes. And in his keynote in the beginning kendall talked about those silos and the expansion of china's nuclear capability and said that they're developing a first strike capability and so he spent probably about three quarters of his entire speech. Focus on this china threat. He said essentially a literally. He took this job. Because of china's modernization he wanted to come back to the pentagon and specifically to lead the air force because what he has seen in china's progression and early on in conference potential high note who is basically runs airforce futures. Looking what the air force needs to be talked about this china threat and said time. Time's up. we need to make changes now in an interview. He talked about the twenty thousand national defense strategy laid out a good idea but they've wasn't acted on and it was just like a nice thought but the air force didn't make any infrastructure changes. It didn't make enough fleet change to address that threaten kendall in his speech. We've heard it a lot from the air force but he basically still called on congress that you are the problem. Let us cut these planes or we're not going to be safe right in the last thing i'd note on that is that even though this warning has been going out and all of these claims seem seem credible especially the icbm silos. We could see them. I mean the fact is that There's no estimate out there that says china has more than three hundred and fifty nuclear warheads. At the moment we have fifty five hundred. Russia has over six thousand. they're way behind everybody else. However i mean you know that almost kind of makes the case for why would be interested in something like a fob or hypersonic glide vehicle because that could allow them to overcome some of the numerical disadvantages in certain ways to sneak. Essentially a nuclear warhead pastor defenses. Not not saying that. That's what's happening but it's you know. There is an overall context. And we're also at this very moment conducting a nuclear posture review. That's reassessing the entire nuclear modernisation program and at the same time that there's a lot of scrutiny from congress some lawmakers who are questioning whether we need the global sorry the ground based strategic deterrent program the replacement for the ice for the minute men three icpm or if not getting rid of it then just delaying it and keeping minute men. Three for for ten or twenty years longer. So all of that. It's important context for for that discussion. Well that's all very fascinating. Pretty scary. But i mean there are so many reviews happening right now. I guess we'll see come next february. The outcome of the nuclear posture review the budget. All of these reviews that are in place are kind of bundling up right. So i mean this is what happens in any administration change you know. Basically the by administration kendall just was confirmed Several weeks ago. He's getting his team in place So it's going to take several months for there.

"Alice china's reached the stage. Where anyone who has documented history that doesn't fit with the official chinese government narrative has been arrested or fled abroad. Well sometimes it does seem that way. And when i speak with people like chongqing or online archivists in my story they speak about how hopeless they feel because it does seem like those are the only two options. You need to go abroad or you're going to end up in jail but you know when i'm on the ground reporting. I'm often surprised by the fact that you never really know. Completely what is their below the surface in china. And sometimes you know in the most unexpected places. You'll find someone who actually holds thoughts that go against the government narrative and they just never had anyone to talk about it so even going back to this scene that we described earlier last friday when i was in that shopping. Area and soundly twin. I was listening to the patriotic songs and watching the patriotic video. And i thought you know. I'm going to go interview a patriotic volunteer and get some quotes about how they are of one hundred years of history. I saw this group of elderly men. They were all wearing red hats and red armbands which marks them as neighborhood volunteers for the event and i went to talk to one of them. There's this old man kind of wearing his red hat and red armbands standing in front of the video screen. That was playing videos of rocket. Blast off and you know great china in the future. His name was young year in and he was seventy two years old. And when i asked him you know what do you think about this. One hundred years celebration. He's surprised me because he actually paused. And he knew that i was foreign media and he said you know one hundred years it is something remarkable but i can't help but think there are some things that we still need to reflect more on roy. Moore the gogol shots. There are mistakes that we've made and we haven't thought enough about them. Like many people of his generation. He knows a lot of melted. Don't quotes and it was quite interesting. He actually quoted this line from amount to me which was insurance input gel sharia law which means humility makes one progress in advance. An arrogance makes landfall behind them team to walk luggage. Just so you understand. That's a very dangerous thing to say in china and it's especially dangerous to be saying that at the site of patriotic celebration with police around and with everyone coming on the most sensitive week of the year when everyone is meant to be united and proud a chatted more with young and he told me you know he was sent to hey long john province when he was young during the culture revolution when a lot of youth were sent to remote rural areas to work in us telling me how. It's not just that the common people suffered a lot during those years but it's also that he saw how top leadership within the party you know was engaged in these kind of brutal political struggles. He saw leaders being purged and they kind of broke his ideals on his illusions about the glorious pure party. That's leading us. I think he and many people of his generation when they saw the kinds of factional struggles and mutual. Purges that were happening. They realized this is really about power but he also said you know. I'm thinking like this. I'm not sure if it's correct. But i just can't help thinking we need to reflect more. What struck me about. This story is how what the chinese communist party is doing with. Its nation's history. It's exactly what we do here. We've been whitewashing our own history since the days of the mayflower yet the. Us has always quick to judge communist china and others. But we do the same in stay silent. I think what has struck me during my reporting is that you know amid all this competition between the us and china we kind of see a lot of very similar rhetoric coming out of both sides essentially the us and china are competing right now to prove you know who has the better system and who can be a stronger country based on their type of governance and for china. At least it's very much about showing. Obviously it's us obviously as the communist party. We are so strong. We are so united. We're able to get rid of kovic we're able to now send rockets into space and a lot of the focus is on achievement and accomplishment. But while reporting i think what struck me was that the people that i meet who actually lived through. That past are not so fixated on a type of strength. That's defined by skyscrapers.

Simplicity in itself but Yeah so we're talking the twenty first or twenty second of may but that's earth calendar. Is there a martian calendar. They develop one. We know the answer is yes. There is an based on martian days which are called soles martian days money for hours forty minutes nearly more or less and it's usually what they usually do. They don't have a calendar in the same way as we do. That's the same everywhere. But for every mission they count the number of days on the surface. So i don't know what it is for. Perseverance now must be sole thirty or forty or something of that sort. Because it's been the touch will be more than that but you get the idea. E county from when the when the mission starts when it lands on the surface. I think that was portrayed well in the movie the martian because they referred to mission days souls and then when when i don't blow the end but back on earth they refer suddenly going being diwan i rather than solve thirty four or whatever yes yeah it was good I just wondered. Because i suppose the day will come with someone born on another world and had he figured out the birth date. I guess you figure out what diet on earth and that'll be it. That's the way we do things at the moment but might change. You never know you never know fascinating. There will be more to report from the chinese mission on mars. Of course. I mentioned this last week but we should mention again. They've made history because they are now. The third nation to land on mars behind the united states and russia so that is just an extraordinary achievement. And they should be congratulated. And i'm sure most of charters failing very very proud at the moment and we need a good news story given what's been happening in the world last i'd eight months or so with andrew dunkley and fred watson on the space nuts podcast. Thanks for joining us. Let's take a break and get a word from our new sponsor nord. Vpn pure worried about your online privacy. You should be surveys across the globe..

"The first time one has been sent to the surface the orbiter itself tiananmen one will stay operational for about two earth years which is kind of one year and will will do many things. I mean in the short term. It's it's acting as a relay station froze. You're wrong and we believe. I think i got the news that it's it was within the last couple of days. It's always has been lord to be near the surface of the planet so it can pick up the signals from jerome more easily because it had quite a high orbit before he's come down in height and we'll do that work but it will continue for as i said two full martian year to to to gather data to image the surface and generally do good stuff about mars which we will find out about. I'm sure because. I mean when you when you look at sort of on earth relationships between china and other countries they have been pretty dicey race in times but i would hope that when it comes to exploration of the planet mars that there are a little bit more open to sharing what they discover and hope we in turn would share information with them. I think it's good to have you know on a non political approach to this and just share each other's discoveries knowledge and it can only be beneficial holistically for the for the whole world for humanity but sometimes politics gets in the way. And i suppose that's how the whole space race started it was all centered around the cold war in politics and that got it off to kickstart but i think i think we've got a much more cooperative approach to these days in 'cause you mentioned Yeah taking photos of the rover on the chinese on the martian surface chinese rover. Would they feel about that having a you know. A another country's cameras on them at at the cameras are on on us doses..
