devalued china china holds over a trillion dollars of this but it could be completely worthless if the u.s. decides to run the printing press as this author mentioned the only way that china could have had any effect on how much debt we run is if us was borrowing in chinese renminbi not in chinese and us dollars but because the debt is all denominated in us dollars the chinese have no ability to enforce. you know better behavior from the u.s. and in terms of trade and other things and so they're very worried because they feel that they have shipped out over truth you know trillions of dollars of goods and services to us and they might be getting absolutely nothing in exchange for nothing as an interesting point and then let's talk about that issue of trade because though the obama administration has shied away from officially labeling china a currency manipulator g.o.p. hopefuls like mitt romney are claiming that they will do that and we heard obama say in his state of the union he's put it in his budget that he wants to fund this new trade enforcement unit to investigate unfair tradin

the president of china, mr. hu jintao, visited america. the and the vice president of this country, mr. biden, visited china in august. this was a very important visit. there is another next week. we saw last year a record growth of our people to people exchange. according to that temporary statistic, in the first nine months of last year, 1.0 7 million chinese tourists visited this country, the biggest increase of 27.7%. more than 2 million american people visited china, which means on average, every day, more than 9000 people are crossing the pacific. nowadays, about 160,000 chinese students are studying here. you have more than 20,000 american boys and girls studying in china. we saw a new record of our bilateral trade. last year, america experted $167.70 billion to china, up by 19%. that makes china and america each other's second-largest trading partner. the state of california placed a large role in this relationship with china. the state of california experted $10.50 million to china, an increase of 19%, making california the larges

come from china. earlier this week in iowa, china agreed to buy a record amount of american soybeans. china is already the top market for u.s. agricultural goods. still, the u.s. trade deficit with china has been a persistent economic and political problem for the two nations. president obama met with xi on tuesday. the next day, speaking in milwaukee, he talked tough on trade with china. >> i'm not going to stand by when our competitors don't play by the same rules. it's not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours just because they're getting heavy subsidies from their government. so i directed my administration to create a trade enforcement unit and it's only got one job-- investigating unfair trade practices in countries like china, making sure we've got an even playing field. because when we've got an even playing field, i promise you, nobody is going to out-compete america. >> brown: on the republican campaign trail, china has been a common target. former massachusetts governor mitt

which means united states roughly you know more than twice as large as china but china makes ten times the amount of steel three times as many vehicles they purchase they consume twice as much beer they export three times as much as many high tech exports as the united states does. three times as much cotton five times as much coal other lists go on and on the so the cell phone markets three times as large so i'm just wondering how you know if we get duct print. money in government transfer payments what would the g.d.p. of the united states really be you know i think that's really a bubble that nobody sees is there the american g.d.p. is a complete fabrication and i'd also highlight the manufacturing numbers you know many people including academics high level policy makers in united states will tell you well we don't need to worry united states is still the largest manufacturing economy you know the federal reserve has admitted they don't break up the value add in those numbers so you know you know this is nine million people working in manufacturing i can drive within an hour of wher

. >> we welcome china's peaceful. >> barack obama calls on china's next leader to address an issue the country has long been criticized for neglecting. u.s. president barack obama welcomed china's leader in waiting. he greeted vice president xi jinping at the white house. xi is expected to become head of the ruling communist party this fall. >> translator: i look forward to my in-depth discussion with you, president obama. >> obama told xi china must play fair with its trade partners around the world. >> we want to work with china to make sure everybody is working by the same rules of the road when it comes to the world economic system, and that includes ensuring that there is a balanced trade flow between not only the united states and china but around the world. >> obama urged xi to recognize the importance of human rights. he said increased responsibility goes hand in hand with power and prosperity. xi said he hopes his visit will deepen mutual understanding and lead to greater consensus. he said the countries should build a cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and intere

-china relationship. that will assume xi jinping will successfully solidify his power base after october which will take him six months to a year. that also assumes some of the new members, and we don't know who all of them will be. members of the standing committee of the politburo are a little more open to reform and change as compared and contrarlsecontrasted to the las. they will be simply because they don't have a lot of choice right now. >> charlie: what do you mean by that, no choice? >> well you've got the power of the internet generation, 500 million internet users in china, you know. you've got 90 million bloggers, many of whom are having conversations today with respect to political reform, human rights, religious tolerance, the role of the internet in society, the kinds of conversations that would have landed anyone in prison a few short years ago. and at some level, the new leadership team will have to find some kind of accommodation in the years ahead. everything is seen today through the pr

to tel aviv of course israel china has very good relations resume has it was right but china has also good relations we around saw china. a power broker in the middle east yes you mention the middle east there what about syria that i mean china has strongly opposed foreign interference there but now that the west seems to have taken a somewhat softer starts i suppose or syria at the u.n. could we see china support a new resolution. this is a little bit early to do del because things are on going on but again you know you really see china. going through dialogue. to try a constructive role in the in the region but i think that china in any case we all sort of for the month off and on in different in this part of the world i think china is using a kind of subtle power we should transcend hard and soft power and but in any case it is not in the interest of china to see instability in the middle east so again china and we have a constructive role and of course. hoping china will make a concrete pledge to invest in the euro bailout fund all the problems they've been having is that likely.

in america china's vice president wasn't treated to the warmest of welcomes from u.s. officials vice president joe biden voiced a whole list of disappointments from beijing's economic policies through its stance on syria criticism was also level that tied over its copyright and forstmann and human rights record apart from the brief exchanges that day was largely ceremonial as american leaders sized up paying the man widely tipped to the beijing over the next decade parties christine friends our ports i should say reports now on the rocky relationship between the two economic giants. he loves me loves me that age old question is one china at least has every right to ask regarding its relationship with the united states just in the last three years china has been whined to dine. praised and envied for its ability to do whatever it wants right now in china the government can disconnect parts of routes that are not in the case of war we need to have the chinese p.z. row capital gains tax folks in congress are also going to get a chance to decide later. in the month whether

he has little time for china's critics. these are some of the only unguarded comments he has made. >> some have nothing better to do them. fingers at us. we do not cause trouble for them. what else do you want? >> what the communist party wants is to keep the economy going. this is the most business-minded place in china. he made his career running these coastal cities, overseeing the economic engine of the country. exports and growth are slowing. finding ways of giving new impetus to the economy might be his biggest challenge. >> he knows the flaws in our economy. i think he will make more economic reforms. maybe political ones as well to build a strong and prosperous china. >> this is his temple for safeguarding the nation. xi jinping's trip to america will test if he is ready to represent china on the world stage. his task then will be to convince his people to keep faith with the communist party and its rule. bbc news. >> we are in beijing with more on what the chinese vice president hopes to achieve by this five-day vi

so they start to oppose democracy in china. and every time when i see him in prison, he always told me, i'm not wrong. actually, if he promise he will not continue to write get out, maybe the government will release him faster. but he always say no. i'm not wrong. yeah. >> thank you. out of love, is based on a faith-based conviction, which is an enormous motivator and i thank you for sharing it. it is the why of it, even electric have lech walesa, it was his faith. we know there are people of facht in china who paying a very significant price. let me ask a couple of questions before yielding to my colleague. and into mr. wolf. in your testimony ms. geng, you make the statement that it's no small irony that while you're speaking here on capitol hill, chinese vice president xi jinping is just up pennsylvania avenue meeting with president obama at the white house. you did point out with your disappointment that you believe that your husband's plight has been downplayed by the white house. i would say for the record, i want this ve

you you'll can provide to mutual benefits for us china i think. i'm standing for by that's road user shaped by europe and the china let's move now to vice president paying a visit to the us he's there now u.s. and china on a fast track to becoming the world's superpower this is curtailing washington's dominance over the asian pacific might this be behind the u.s. decision to strengthen its military in the region. yes i think that mr she said we say to us ice of are important to with because mr she's a key member of charity but the man he will be needed hey we'll replace the president who next our president and the party chief of china so he's understanding . the u.s. relationship is a very it were important for the future developments of outside the u.s. or british into right now many people are talking about increasing pris and saw for us an asian every year is to contain the right seeing all for china and out of hands to qantas has a much more mutual dependence in almost every year of supposed to in trade investment and. areas so i think we owe.

china, india, japan. and they general share our strategic goals, that's very important. >> rose: strategic goals being we do not quantity them to have a nuclear capability. >> that's right. >> rose: they share the goldman but do they share the means to get there. it has to do with sanctions, oil embargoes. >> we're seeing that many of our partners around the world are taking very seriously the need to move away from dependence on iranian suppliers of oil. and are looking for -- >> rose: they are prepared to take some of the burden. >> there are a number of things in the oil market that should be seen as positive. libyan oil supplies are coming back on-line quicker than many people anticipated. other producers have indicated willingness to step up and provide additional supply. but you know, at the end of the day obviously gas prices are very important hitting the pocketbook of american consumers so we're going to have to stay engaged on this issue. and we're going to keep up the kai logs witdialogues with

is a net exporter to china. we export more to china than we import from china. that is a nuanced discussion where you are creating jobs in both places as you do that. we have to keep chipping away at it. >> to say the obvious, i am no clint eastwood. [laughter] >> you do have a grizzle and feel to you that i like. [laughter] >> we at dow decided to put a book out there "make it in america" with an australian accent. our articulation of the value population -- proposition in washington with a label on products saying "made in america." that is an american thing to do. we have to change the conversation. >> i want to get through some individual elements of how to make manufacturing and the economy better. when we talk to business leaders, we hear we need 21st century regulations. what does that mean? what is not happening in that regard now? >> my view is the financial crisis of 2008 dated -- promulgated a political backlash that created a lot of regulation in financial services. the discussion broadened and splattered over every regulatory agency in d.c. the tone

our sugar daddy and maybe the question is is china now everyone sugardaddy. i mean first of all i would actually urge people not to read much into trying to reduce a good holdings of u.s. treasuries by thirty billion that's basically nothing and that and those things are going to have percent yet and also they've if you look over the past years it kind of undulates and a year or so for example last spring it went down for a while then to pick back up so. about it in terms of giving up on the u.s. so they're not going to lend to the us anymore they're going to lend to europe it's probably not the big problem i actually think it's actually kind of scandalous the idea of europe begging china for help again but for kind of the same reason europe has its own currency you could print money it has plenty of wealth in germany and so on china. it gets about how big it is remains a pretty poor country on a per capita basis the average chinese citizen is way poorer than the average european citizen so i actually think it's kind of an outrage that china is being asked to

china. it's important for them to play by the rules of the road. >> your economy get very weak, ours get very good. we take your jobs. >> i will crack down on cheaters like china that steal our intellectual property and our jobs and manipulate our currency. >> you are looking at the white house where the vice president of china is meeting with secretary clinton and vice president biden. we have the spokes man for the state department. pj thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> that was a collections of recent anti-china ads, to what degree do you think that china is paying to our internal battle over our relationship with china? >> they have enough experience with us to understand that every presidential campaign, you know, since at least the early '90s, china has been a convenient, you know, whipping horse, you know, as part of the rhetoric from whoever is challenging. but nonetheless, you know from richard nixon on, bill clinton, george w. bush, barack obama have all done a extraordinar

you could say china and the u.s. are in some ways like an old married couple, per nantly hitched since the early days of their relationship. the two countries have depended on each other. china relies on the u.s. to set up factories and create jobs while the u.s. imports low-priced goods for american consumers and needs china to invest in its massive pool of government debt. just like other long-time relationships, beijing and washington have their marital spats. >> do you ever get in fights? >> every day. >> see, she says the same thing i say. >> a day without a fight is not a normal day. >> i don't fight. she fights. >> reporter: the two nations have quarrelled over everything from trade, china's currency and human rights. and with china growing in power, tempers are flaring over other global issues like the u.s.'s growing security presence in the south china sea. many of these issues will likely still be on the agenda later this year when xi is expected to take office as the next president of china. chinese offici

criticism for china was far more muted for taking the same position but the reality is that china or the west have to treat with much more with kid gloves because of the integral relationship in terms of the way that the chinese economy now is so totally woven in with the western one neither country is capable of dominating the other and that the country is going to witness a cold war type situation as china's influence grows president obama has pledged to strengthen u.s. positions in the pacific going as far as the ploy in extra troops to the region this is made some wonder whether the u.s. can reconcile with the situation when it's not dominating. announced this a people at the pentagon by the way the pivoting from that middle east to asia this means more u.s. interference is cellcept in the sauce china sea military station the starting in norse in australia but maybe in contacts with surely p.m.'s singapore in thailand specially very close allies of us here in southeast asia so the chinese they look at this and they see encircled washington's treatment of this or that country depe
