A word because they don't want to lose the money from China. So but what I am, and in this order Trey Young fan, Atlanta Hawks fan. And, uh, on enjoyment fan because I was telling people a couple years ago, right? I was on the tray young thing before most people trade trained. Not only that this I'd like this is a superstar, and then I started to get angry. He was being wasted. So yes, I am not a fan of the MBA right now.

"He wanted to in order to kind of enact his own coo of the government to stop Congress just to spend their operations and stay in office. I'm sure you remember like like they were talking about that on MSNBC. Yes, it was. The MSNBC has had all kinds of of theories out there. I mean, the one thing that's that's astonishing to me is to this day we have CNN and MSNBC. Pretending that there was a credible threat of overthrow of the government from the so called insurrection. How is that going to happen? The people that were the so called insurrectionist weren't even armed Jack So the guy with the body pains and the plastic Viking horns on the face. You know the face paint was actually going to try to throw over the U. S government. It's It's just completely flies in the face of reason. Look, we all know that the events were terrible, but we also have to be serious and sober about what actually happened. And were there were there bad actor elements. It went in to try to incite this violence to try to actually make this thing. What was reported to be a peaceful protesters plan to be a peaceful protest, which, by the way, 99% of the people remain peaceful and stood outside. I was I was there across the street watching the entire thing was on the roof right here again, right across the street from the Capitol Dome on, But for the most part you stood. You saw people just standing around the lawn and didn't know what was going on even funny enough. I was there outside. I didn't know what was going on inside the Capitol until one of my producers called me and said, Have you seen these videos on Twitter? I said, no, I'm outside. There's no signal what's going on, and they're They're telling me about this and said, really cause outside it, Z dead people are just kind of standing around. He goes. What's going on? Jack. I want to switch gears for a moment. Speaking of Jack Piso, pick of one America News Network on Jack, Tell everybody I look, tell everybody you're not only former Intel analyst, but you're a China specialist. And a Mandarin speaker. So this is right in the center of your wheelhouse. What are we seeing from she and what are you seeing from She Jinping, Chinese Communist Party. With this new bite administration that you find troubling and explain to people why, you know a lot of foreign policy just sounds like an intellectual exercise. When it comes to China. It effects everybody, everyone who's listening to this. If they don't care about China, China cares about them. Well, I would point it's everybody else that you know if you're in one of these states that still locked down If you're going into a restaurant or or movie theater, you can't go into a restaurant or a movie theater, also wearing a mask if your kids are stuck at home because there's no school That's because of China, and that's because of the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, Shi Jin ping, and they're They're Mafia regime that they have controlling their country. That's been there for almost 100 years. Now, this is the regime that's responsible for now, Look. We don't know yet if this thing came from the Wuhan lab where this thing came from the you know the wet market there and penguins and bats, But what we do know is that when the WH joke spends a couple of days going in that lab a year after the fact that he had a year to clean up everything that they were doing there, and sure John Lee, the bat woman of China, and the gain of function experiments that she was working on and then they come out and say We're not going to look at the lab anymore. Within just a couple of days of this, it really asked makes you want to start asking questions. How much power does the CCP and how much influence do they have over these international institutions? That's the same thing we're seeing now with the Biden administration, where you saw that, in that interview with 60 minutes, he was deferential to Shi Jin Ping, he said. I don't want to insult him. I think he's undemocratic. But I don't mean it as an insult. What kind of a statement is that? For an American president to make were Tony Blinken. During his confirmation, the new secretary of state say we wanted to exercise its strategic patience, strategic patience really well. They're encroaching on the Taiwan Strait while they're pushing through the South China Sea into international waters and building militarized islands, But we want to be patient with them. This is all a turn back to the Obama Bush Clinton era of allowing China to get away with whatever they want to turn over. This massive acted the keys to this massive economic engine that is US capital to have that continue to flow into Chinese coffers in Shanghai and Beijing and, of course in Wuhan. And then also to put up this sort of I would almost control call it like a like a fake opposition. You know, I could controlled opposition, you know, So I was in the Navy as a Navy officer. Right on. We constantly would run these freedom of Operation freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea. We just ran once again through the Taiwan Strait. That's why they call it when two carriers will operate or destroyer will go through the Taiwan Strait. Hears. It makes such a big deal out of it. The Navy makes a huge deal about it. The Pentagon makes a huge deal. We're standing up to the Chinese were standing up to Chinese expansionism in the P L. A. And Here's the thing. The People's Republic of China could care less. There's a great you can watch us as we're building our our fleets. You can watch us as our aircraft carrier capability expands. You can watch us as we steal your technology and then use it against you. You can watch as our cyber security is our cyber operations.

"But I think it's really interesting to hear. Especially in comparison to Donald Trump. You know, one of the issues and the problems that we had during the Trump era was that Donald Trump didn't have these existing relationships or any experience with diplomacy. Or, you know, basically meeting with world leaders outside of kind of business arrangements, and he was very easily talked into things. When he spoke to world leaders, he would often take their side when they explain things and, according to John Bolton, who was Trump's national security advisor. According to his book When Trump was meeting with Shi Jin ping, at one point during the During his administration, she jumping brought up Xin Jiang it and the camps for the Wickers and the indoctrination camps and according to Bolton, which you know Take it for what you well, John Bolton has its has his own agenda. But according to Bolton, Trump essentially told she that he was doing the right thing that that was the right thing to do on. We're talking about putting, you know, committing essentially cultural genocide. So the fact that Biden is not going to be talked into things like that that Biden has kind of a clear ride sense of who she camping is in and of itself is a really kind of positive development it any way you look at it from the Trump administration. Dave Lawler. We also heard from President Biden visiting the Pentagon this week announcing the creation of a China task force. Do we have much detail on what that entails? And what it is? So basically they're going to take the next three or four months work with people across the Defense Department. By the way, they're doing a similar process on trade to review all of the policies on China and come up with some kind of lasting strategy..

"For being here. Great to be with you. Jennifer Williams is the senior foreign editor at Box, Jennifer. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me and David ready is the Beijing Bureau chief for the Economist, David always a pleasure. Thanks for being here. Hello. So President Biden says his first official phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping lasted two straight hours. Dave Lawler, Clearly they had a lot to talk about. What do we know about this call? Yes, we know they discussed Hong Kong. The apparent genocide in Xinjiang. China's aggression toward Taiwan trade disputes a lot of thorny topics to get through. They also discussed nuclear weapons, climate change and the pandemic, so no wonder it took two hours, I suppose, by an emerge from that call was asked about it the next day and said, If we don't start moving, they're going to eat our lunch, referring to China. Ondo. Actually, the his advisers did a briefing ahead of the call about how he would be approaching China on. Basically, they said he accepts Donald Trump's proposition of all out competition with China across technology trade security, But they think Trump went about it the wrong way with his America first approach, but a lot more focus on competition and cooperation so far from Biden on China. Well into a Biden. Genji jumping know each other pretty well. Biden was speaking to CBS News this week and he had this to say about his Chinese counterpart. He's very bright. He's very tough. He doesn't have, And I mean it's a criticism, Mr reality he didn't have a Democratic small D bone in his body. We need not have a conflict, but there's gonna be in extreme competition. I'm not going to do it the way Trump did. We're gonna focus on international rules of the road. David Rennie. What would you tell us about the relationship between these two and how that's viewed from China? President Biden is right. Hey, doesn't know she's limping, pretty wealthy for world leaders. There's no kind of getting to know you period. This is because when she didn't think was still vice president, but we knew he was going to get the top job. President Obama's sent his vice president who is the kind of the equal opposite number to spend a lot of time, dozens and dozens of hours on trips. What's interesting is that you now have President Biden's of stressing how he understood how tough she jumping was. The truth is that there was also an element of kind of probably excessive optimism on the American side of the time because the current Chinese leader that time Hu Jintao was just this absolute robotically disciplined communist technocrat who had waited wake his way through the talking points and you just couldn't have Substantive conversation with him. So I have spoken to people who were in the room for those Biden's she meetings back in 2000 and 2012. No say there was real interest, almost excitement about this guy who was very tough but very candid would talk about how their problems inside China's own system how hard it was to get Communist officials to do what they were told how corruption was kind of killing their own system, and this was a census. This was a politician willing to kind of talk and engage as a politician. I think what we've now realized, and you see that reflected in President. Biden's recent comments to CBS is that that confidence and that kind of political swagger Has actually is a very to the dog hardline, authoritarian strongman swagger. And so I think there's a kind of new sense of realism about what they're dealing with. Well, Jen, let me put to you what one of our listeners is tweeting. Lord is tweets about the call saying, quote Biden calling G was a mistake by calling first he showed weakness. What do you make of that? Well, you know, they have to have a conversation. At some point. They are the leaders of the two biggest global economies there. There was no chance they were not going to speak. Someone's got to pick up the phone, but I think the reality here is, you know, First of all, this wasn't the first call that by made right. He waited Pretty substantial pretty substantially awhile before you know, talking to she reaching out to us traditional allies Canada allies in Europe s O That in of itself made quite a statement. But I think it's really interesting to hear. Especially in comparison to Donald Trump. You know, one of the issues and the problems that we had during the Trump era was that Donald Trump didn't have these existing relationships or any experience with diplomacy, or, you know, basically meeting with world leaders outside of kind of business. Arrangements and he was very easily talked into things. When he spoke to world leaders.

"Experience. You can watch us as we steal your technology and then use it against you. You can watch is our cyber security is our cyber operations moved to dismantle your ships and destructor operations, right? And again. You saw this on that phone call that readout we got from Xi Jinping's Joe Biden. He wishes him happy Chinese New Year he's talking about. Well, you know, we care so much about these about human rights abuses and Xinjiang. It's all very, very bad. Bringing the hands no discussion whatsoever at the economic levers of power that could be used. That is something that you know, regardless of, you know. Going to be a trump supporter of Donald Trump supporter. But he understood that economic leverage is America's best and really on Lee level of influence with the People's Republic of China.

Does that give you a complete game Runners start on second base in extra inning games if that runner scores who is charged with the run no universal designated hitter. Therefore, the nationally will continue. Have the picture hit John Bash all four hours available all the time. Undistinguished podcasters such as I am John Bat, Sir, This is the John Baxter shows Seb Gorka now, Bastian Gorka of America First, his radio program. The president has made a phone call to Shi Jin Ping several days into his administration. The phone call is characterized. Generally as we talked about this, we talked about that we can work together and by the way, human rights and by the way, Hong Kong all well and good said it's early for Biden doctrine, So let's have some fun. Biden Doctrine is not exactly predictable, but it does suggest that he's going to use alliances. Partnerships and working together, and some kind of you'd have to say is I'm going to say the right things. And if we're frustrated, I'll get credit for saying the right things. Does that sound so far? The Biden doctrine, just jaw jaw. Definitely George or because look at this phone caller number one he still hasn't called. This was confirmed today for me by Ari Fleischer. The president. United States has yet to call our closest ally in the only democracy in the Middle East Israel he hasn't called Maybe, but he spent 2.5 hours. On the phone with the dictator off China, the largest Communistic Danish ship in the world, John, I don't care who you are. Even if you're talking through interpreter, you just don't talk to dictators with 2.5 hours. Whether it's Hitler, whether it's Shi Jin ping, you don't you send them a very simple message. You don't George or, but it was interesting. They do say reality comes that you very fast in D. C. What did Brian say today in the Oval Very different from the tune, he sang. During the campaign, he said. You know, after discussing with 2.5 hour court, he said on def we don't get busy dealing with China. Quote, John They're gonna eat our lunch. I think somebody else said that. And I think you didn't mar a Lago right now. Yes, Extreme competition was the buzz word that came earlier before this phone call. What is extreme competition? Didn't they just canceled the TIC Tac deal? For example on, you'd have to say right now, all eyes on Vancouver. What is going to happen to the wall way, Prince says. The relative of the founder of while way in house arrest pending pending extradition to the US, We can guess that Mr Biden is not pressing the matter for that at the extradition from Canada. Can we guess Mr Biden is going to call it a draw and let Mum go home. I have no idea I wouldn't even dare to predict. But I will say that the evidence we have so far in regards Tol how our enemies and how our friends will be treated is what is the exact kind of del Connie G's work? It is how to make friends and influence people correct. What? What we're witnessing from the Biden White House's is somebody's drafting right now. How to lose friends and irritate people Look at the Canadian XL pipeline consequences. You know, 2.5 hours of phone calls with China? What? What did you get out off to? This is the president of the United States. How does he have 2.5 hours to talk to? She's in pink with nothing to show for it except the aphorism that they will eat our lunch while Canada on both sides of the aisle, Whether it's labor, whether it's Tori equivalent are apoplectic with the tens of thousands of jobs that have been lost because of that one decision, so It doesn't bode well for the future. You know, the metric for me is always the following What of our friends think and what our enemies field and right now our enemies and I don't mean competitors. Enemies are rubbing their hands together. You mentioned Keystone XL pipeline since last we talked with two significant voices. Mr Trump of the FL Sale was saying, it's a bad idea. It's a bad idea was a bad idea to begin with. I hope he reverses it. And, more significantly, Senator Manchin of West Virginia, the chair of the Senate Energy Committee, saying it's a bad idea. Reverse it. Will he reverse itself Is there Is there buzz in Washington that that the president has made a mistake here and he was missed? He was misled by his advisers. There's no buzz yet. That doesn't mean it couldn't occur. However, I will say And, you know, just a swell, John. That But pride can be a very dangerous motivational force. And the idea that he would have to swallow his pride. I mean, what if he issued his issued 50 executive actions or orders in three weeks and the idea that that one of the most significant that was a part of his campaign platform is one he will have to retract. I find the likelihood of that. Very unlikely because then how will the base the green extremists based react? They won't be happy. Right now. There's a very, very tense relationship with the Bernie Bro's The AOC voters that decision which is the right decision to retract it. What could create a fracture with that wing that he needs as president. The J C P L A The campaign Woz. We're going to rejoin it. It was a mistake to leave it. Our European allies there. Are puzzling about our leadership are is the by demonstration climbing down from its intention to re get to rejoin JCP away. Are they backing away and doing the right thing? Can you tell? There is this is clear. There is no indication that they are backing down from that. This is um something that I think they will try to do. It won't be easy because it's not like flicking a light switch. But there are no serious or significant indications that they are climbing down from ring Bryn reinstating some kind of version off the original JCP Oh Iran deal. Sebastian Gorka. He is the radio host of America first, his program across the country. It's early days. We're rushing this to come up with a Biden doctor in one phone call does not make a doctrine. However, it is a puzzle when you talk about Hong Kong, and when you talk about Xinjiang That's the end of the conversation right there right there. And you can't do business with somebody who persecutes the Hong Kong and persecutes the weaker people and things that we can work this out. Sebastian Gorka,.

"He mean up the steps of the Capitol? We don't know. But there's no doubt that many Republicans in Congress took that speech as an incitement. Let me get your take on a question that I suspect is on a lot of people's minds. What is the point of going forward with impeachment? When the president whether you think he incited an insurrection or not when he is leaving office before the Senate can possibly act and carry out a trial? Yeah, And even if the Senate did acting carry out a trial, it's unlikely very unlikely that he would be convicted and removed because that would take a two thirds vote. The House of Representatives. The Democratic leadership there wants the president to be held accountable and they feel that impeachment is the on leeway. They have to do that centuries in their mind is insufficient. So that is a good question. There's also the question of logistically how it would work with the new president coming in. Joe Biden wants to get his nominees confirmed He wants to move forward very quickly on his covert relief package, he said today. Though he's been noncommittal about impeachment, he said he has been talking to senators about how a trial and confirmation hearings could go forward. At the same time he talked about by Frick, aiding the schedule, Right real quick. You heard me going back and forth with Mr Groves there on whether the president husband silence now that he's been kicked off Twitter do we'd know what is going on behind the scenes at the White House? Well, we know the president hasn't been saying much As you said he still has the bully pulpit. He could come out and talk to reporters. Anytime he wanted to. Tomorrow, he will go to the border. We assume he will speak there. He's going to show off the small amount of wall that has been constructed. But the very big question is. Will the president encourage or discourage his supporters from converging on Washington again? We know they're emboldened by what happened in the capital on Wednesday. Or will he stay silent? Okay. NPR's Mara Liasson. Thanks. Thank you. And you were listening to all things considered from NPR news. China has five covert 19 vaccines in Phase three trials, one has been given and conditional approval. Of course, China has a huge population to inoculate at home, but it's government is also pledging to provide its vaccines to lots of other countries. Catches up now on how all of that is gonna work out. We're joined now by NPR, China correspondent John Rule, which Hey John. Hi there. Hi. Okay. So China has what the latest count 1.4 billion people total is the country focusing on vaccinating its own population first. Yeah, it's doing both. It's focusing on the domestic population, and it's also looking abroad. You know, China took quite strong measures early on in the pandemic and has mostly mostly brought it under control at home since late spring, so You know they've done some emergency vaccination since the summer. And as you say one of their vaccines was recently approved for broader use. So they're targeting 50 million vaccinations by mid February early February because the pandemics largely under control there. The efficacy trials for these vaccines that are being developed, have been done abroad in more than a dozen countries across the globe. And in Mei Shi Jin Ping, the leader of China, said that any vaccine that comes out of China is going to be a global public good right prep with priority on developing countries, So it's already in use in Bahrain and the U A E, which had been testing it and approved this vaccine in December. But the phase three data hasn't been released. Yet for any of these vaccines is under development, and that's going to be key, experts say, because that's that's the step that's going to open the door to the W H O blessing, basically, right. Okay, so it sounds like China has made providing these vaccines to other countries a priority. Why is that? Gotta understand this. I spoke with nowadays Roland, Who's a former French Defense Ministry official who's an expert in in Chinese foreign policy at the National Bureau of Asian Research, and she put it succinctly. China always frames. It's They're cooperated relationship with other countries in that wind, wind circled, win win framework, which means that there must be a win for China as well. So first and foremost, China has been struggling with a bit of an image problem it mishandled. The beginning of the outbreak and public opinion about China deteriorated pretty sharply around the world. Longer term, though you know, this is a way for China to expand soft power. That's how they see it and expand ties beyond economics and trade, which have been China's calling card. There's money to be made here to the vaccines aren't free even though China has promised reasonable prices, and if it all goes well, it's a big step for biotech in China. This is a strategic sector. The government's identified it as such. They poured money into it, and vaccine could go a long way to help in that sector. Right. OK, so who's interested right now in getting Chinese vaccines, who said developing countries, mostly Yeah. Yeah. Handful of countries in Southeast Asia and Africa interested some in Latin America. You don't understand it. Let's take a look at chili, for example, right. She was hit hard by the pandemic. They need all the help. They can get their already deploying the Fizer vaccine. But my understanding is that they're open to the Chinese one as well, which has been undergoing trials there. I talked with Jorge Hein A Who's a former Chilean ambassador to China, who now teaches at Boston University. He pointed out China's Chile's biggest trade partner, It's its biggest investment sores. Donated PPE to Latin America and money throughout this pandemic, and you know China's really just been present, and he says it's all connected. What you have is a situation in which you know. There are strong links with China and, you know, I would argue that the vaccines apart off that great presence and an effective, affordable available vaccine from China is only going to strengthen those links. That is NPR's John Rule, which thank you, John. Thank you. And this is all things considered from NPR news. With some students in Chicago, returning to schools for in person learning, and many more scheduled to start soon. Some teachers and parents are balking at the move, fearing it's still not safe.

China's economy is going to be in focus in the coming week as we look ahead to keep trade data coming out, and for more, let's go to Bloomberg. Daybreak Asia host Brian Curtis in Hong Kong and his colleague Doug Prisoner, John China's economy has been churning along in the past few quarters as the country sets the standard for recovering from the pandemic. And now Bloomberg Economics is saying the economy will likely post growth of 6% year on year in a queue for Perhaps reflecting that China's benchmark stock index, the C S, I 300 rose above its 2015 bubble high and the yuan. China's currency has been going from strength to strength. In the coming week. We'll get the trade numbers for December, and with that, most likely there will be a huge trade surplus, and that might mean for the tensions with the West. Joining us for some insights into this is Bloomberg's James Mager. James. It's a really interesting year. We've got President elect Joe Biden coming in, and it looks like probably the U. S. Will want some sort of multilateral approach to dealing with China. And yet China has gone and signed this individual investment deal with Europe. So how does it set up? Do you think for Chinese relations with the West this year? The the deal with Europe that that's just being agreed by China and the European Union is something's been negotiated now for almost 10 years, and so the Europeans, I guess the Chinese wanted to get that At least the Chinese wanted to get that done before the bite administration came in. But I still think that the Europeans and that the Americans also the Japanese are going to be discussing. You know how they do with China over a variety of issues your state let's state subsidies for for government companies. You know of a production of various various topics, which is things have been talking about during the Trump administration, and they're going to continue to talk about. So you know you're the U. S. Japan. Other countries are going to be having discussions with with each other about how to deal with issues that they faced in China, but also Europe, the U. S and Japan and other countries. Also gonna have individual discussing with China about You know how they do with the issues they have. There's still trade negotiations going on between Japan, South Korea and China, for example, on non FDA so yeah, by administration will have its own have its own policies, and they'll have to try and work with our allies. They t sort of Create a unified approach. But each country is going to have its own interests as well that it has to have to look too. So the incoming president Biden is going to inherit in American policy on China. That's pretty hawkish. I'm wondering the difficulty that he may face if he wants to soften it ever so slightly to try to achieve some of the goals that he may have in mind is that a big stretch for him to do it? But he has this really substantial toolbox now that the Trump administration is brought in there, things that have never been used before Visa VI China and so he's got a lot of things that he can sort of turn to T o tariffs. Trade sanctions sanctions on Chinese companies. He has various different things that he can use to try and force China to come to agreement on the things I mean, the issues really has to decide what he wants to do the Oh what these shoes that he really needs to deal with in China, and how do they balance those on other things like climate change is obviously things being talked about. Against state subsidies for Chinese companies access the Chinese market for various things. You know, it's you know, he said in his interview with The New York Times recently that they're going to take time. Look at the whole policy on China and then try and come to a decision. But I mean, he has a lot of options, but there's also a lot of issues that need to be resolved. And James. From the Chinese standpoint, it's been a much more assertive regime under Shi Jin ping, that what we saw in the past and we had the Wolf Warrior diplomacy and there's been a lot of fireworks in that area. Just wondering from your standpoint there in Beijing. Is China prepared for decoupling? Does it want decoupling? Or is it trying TOC sort of manage that in a very Tentative way. Well, I don't think that Chinese gonna once the company I mean, I think they obviously they still need access to things like US technology. They need access to American chip technology, for example. But there you know, the last four years have shown them they have to prepare for U S government that wants to decouple or wants to cut off their access to these things that they need. So you're in the work report, which came out recently and also worked for the Work. The statement for 2021 Gerry Ford. They basically put technology self sufficiency and control of their supply chains as the critical goals for the next for the next year, going forward after that, so they're clearly preparing that there. They need to be more self sufficient. They need to prepare in case they do get cut off here in case the U. S. Does. Do more things to block who always access or ZTE's access to you to us technology that they do need. So whether China wants or, you know, desires to come thing you know, they're definitely preparing for that to happen. James. Thank you very much for joining us with your insights.

This was at least the hope that many people had an everybody was completely surprised by how it turned out. Really. Nobody had expected that she's been paying worked due to China. What he did, in effect, actually a creep. Created a completely new creature. It's really a new kind of regime and state that we haven't seen before. You know, it's interesting because you know he wears a Western business suit. In sharp contrast to the image of you know, mounts a tongue who were the You know the military jacket? Um Describe his ideological agenda for China. One of the first things he did is he put the party back into control. You know, in the decades before, with the reforms off, thanks helping the opening off the country, the economic success the growth we had seen much freer society and much more liberal economy. Developing. And there was there were things like civil society, China and many aspects actually started to resemble a little bit our own societies, you know which broad many of us actually to think to believe in a kind of China fantasy. You know, someday China will become like us. So there comes heating ping now and what he does is he actually does away with many of these things he does away in effect with the China we have come to know. For three or four decades. The China that you see now is no longer the China that we all grew up with. And what he did was he put the party back in tougher control. Aunt he brought back a centralization of power. Um, hey, brought back one man rule He brought back actually cult of personality things that we haven't seen since the days of mild Adam and he brought back ideology in a big way. And he's still speaking a lot about marks. Hey, has his own thought, you know in Chinese universities. Suddenly everywhere Their new faculties is bringing up teaching this Shi Jin ping thought And the seating ping ideas. And while he speaks about marks all the time, you know Marx was more like the kind of idealist thinker off socialism. In fact, what he is he's more a Leninist. It's more about power in the end, and that is actually his big goal. He speaks a lot about making China great again. Big China dream, but in effect, you know what he does is and what his main aim is actually secure the power of the Communist Party for eternity. You were in China. As this began to take shape were their ideological perches in universities among journalists to me. What was it? How did you see this unfold? Actually, there were. Yeah, it was very interesting because they were purges actually in waves, and it hit a different segment of society and off the institutions. Every time it started with the bloggers with the Internet and can universities on the party itself, you know, the party members suddenly started to have to be afraid. Ah, lot of it actually took place under the guise of the anti corruption campaign. Cause the same people who actually are in charge of the anti corruption campaign. This is the discipline Planetary Commission off the Communist Party. That's actually the arm of the Communist Party that is responsible for ideological discipline Also, and so they conducted these purges and a lot of times. You know, these purges were accompanied by, for example, show trials, You know, suddenly you would have a civil rights law. You're on TV being tried for for crimes that were obvious Hey, didn't commit And then the next time itwas maybe a famous show star than it was a journalist, and so on and fear came back. The people started to fall silent again, and party control came back. I think one of the strangest measures of how extreme this became that you described in the book was that donors to the sperm bank at hospital in Peking had to pass an ideological test. Yes. And that's of course, one of those absurdities, you know, I'm sure she didn't think didn't think of this, But this I This is how it works and autocratic regimes. You know, you have the big guy on the top, and everybody else is following him. Well, first, you know, they're all ducking away. And then when there is a policy, they all they're all trying to second guess him And they're all trying to outdo his policies, you know? And so you get these absurd things like the sperm bank you describe are suddenly you know you have things reappearing that we didn't see since the Times of mouth they're doing something. You have scientists, writing papers about the ozone level in Beijing and air pollution in Beijing. A scene from a Marxist perspective. You know these kind of observed sort of things. That serve as nothing else but a sign of ideological submission. All this was gone. China was a very pragmatic country. This was one of her basic trades off the China off things helping, and suddenly these absurdities are reappearing. Going to take a break here. Let me reintroduce you. Kai Street Mater is a journalist who has spent years reporting on China. His new book is we have been harmonized life in China's surveillance state. We'll be back after a short break. This is fresh air..

"shi jin ping" Discussed on Newsradio 700 WLW
"So you wrote about any number of things. I wrote largely science technology, things like that. I'd come out of the think tank community looking into all sorts of odd areas. We're looking down the barrels of Possible total takeover. Of our country because of a fraudulent election and because of what happens or doesn't happen this week in Washington, D C and you have written extensively about Communist China and their role in this and they're want to totally take over what has been the only That or the major free country in the world as far as individuals having liberties constitutionally guaranteed S O. The latest column and wmd dot com is about looking at America's first emperor. Which is what you're basically callings, easing Ping, who was the dictator for life and red China. So you wanna break some of that down for us here at the beginning of this and we'll, we'll get into further depth. Sure, and let's understand first, she Jinping said on the eve of New Year's in the Washington Post reported. China's G. I mean everybody else Republican or Democrat. You asked him was 2020 a good year or a bad year? Almost everyone will say it was a terrible year, right? She Jinping declared 2028 triumph. Triumph is a triumph. What was triumphant about it well, so a few people died in China. That doesn't really concern him. What's important is that he was able to weaponize that virus, send it to the West to places like Italy in the United States, or it has caused untold horror. Because major economic devastation is the cost hundreds of thousands of lives. That she shouldn't pink says is a triumph. You need to understand to what's been going on. That is not Rien reported in our press, for example. On December 30th just before New Year's She met via video with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Rock McCrone and two leaders of the European Union to approve a an investment agreement. Between the EU, which calls itself the largest single market in the world and Red China. The deal, reported National Public Radio, Our own socialist radio network. Eyes, a diplomatic victory for Beijing and a domestic one for G, said NPR in Washington. It will be seen as a snub to the incoming Biden administration, which last week Urged the EU to wait. But China preempted discussions with Biden's administration on a joint European American approach to Beijing. Now. What is this all about? It's about the fact that Europe now has in the war between the U. S and China. The Cold War. Declared China the winner. It sees who's a rising power it sees who will be a falling power under Biden. It realizes that Biden is basically just a hand puppet, a sock puppet. Four, though she's in Ping The dictator of China. After all, it was in 1913 scarcely more than seven years ago. 2013. Yeah, that Joe Biden put a might be in autumn. My date? No, you just said 1913. But you can see I'm just locked in the 20th century 2013 your go ahead. It must be his old despite himself. So in 2013 Biden was in China. Representing the U. S. Is vice president to greet the new president. And while doing so, he quote, Unquote joked. Mr President. You've been so successful Becoming president, would you help me become president of the United States? Said Joe Biden. Well, when Joe Biden makes jokes like that, there's a reason that it's not a joke. It's that Joe as we've seen, and we will continue to see more evidence as long as he's allowed to stay in the spotlight, or, you know, do whatever be the be the leader of the Democratic Party. He has no filter, and that happens as we get older, we have less and less of a film actor. People in Ohio State University studied people Lose the part of their brain that tells them don't say this. And don't say that and Hagen blurting out well as you so during Christmas dinner. Pure or Thanksgiving dinner with your own aging relatives. Just willing to say whatever comes into their mind. The same way that Joe Biden has been saying strange things of late. But In any event. Thies situation we find now is that Joe Biden only four months after having that dialogue with Shi Jin Ping was back in China, this time aboard Air Force two with his son Hunter. That was the meeting at which Hunter walked away with what became a $1.5 billion deal. The funds of which were used primarily and of course, the Bidens got a huge cut of this, but the funds were being used. To buy American companies that had dual use technologies the communist Chinese military wanted. For its own weapon development, and so on, where its own control development Joe Biden as son also Used some of that money to invest in the very technologies that were used to control dissident people there, including the emergent now Chinese national credit policy. Or if you are caught saying anything bad about the government or behaving in an anti social way, as the Communists see it, you lose credit score. And with that credit score, go. You're right. Whatever there may be of them, you could no longer take flights in her out of the country. You could no longer travel by train. And Oh, yes, if you happen to be dying of some malady, the heart attack or whatever you are no longer assured medical treatment. You no longer have the social credit to get it. If you are a dissident from the government, and we were just let life or death decision, Yeah, well, and what's really frightening about this is that there are more and more Young people in this country. Who Choose to think that freedom, freedom of speech. Real freedom of speech should be suppressed. If they don't available IV what the person is saying, So I mean, there is a pathway for this communist Chinese authoritarian Crackdown on any kind of divergent thought at all. There's a pathway now for this. In this country because for some reason, there are a lot of college students and those who are a little bit older and have gone through this just cracked campus chaos that used to be education who believe That, yes, Freedom of speech should be suppressed if it's not the right speech. Well, certainly, and there are two thrusts here. We have to keep in mind number one is the general thrust to the left. That's been plaguing the West now for 100 years or more. Ever since Woodrow Wilson was president as our first progressive Democrat president. But Second thrust, often less noticed than that is just one of globalism. The idea that we're destined in the immediate future to be a one world government system. The goal, of course and are setting up the United Nations was that we were hoping we would be People in charge of that one world government. It now appears, however well, Richard Nixon. Almost 50 years ago when he had his opening to China did so is a gamble is a gamble that we would be able to, you know, make communist China capitalists before they became rich and powerful enough to be a danger to us. Before Nixon died, he told a friend. I think we may have created a Frankenstein monster. But in fact we're becoming more like China. It is not becoming more like us, right? And and she's jumping is a classic example of that. Of course, was raised well that they talk about in my column. Last Friday at world that daily He himself had a very strange Background. His father was he. He was raised as a youngster. And wealthy housing and a wealthy environment as one of the princelings in China, one of the wealthy elites, Children But his father in 1962 Was was purged from the party officially sent to live in the countryside for 13 years..
