that was a question i got a number of times in china. everyw is, of course economic system known to man, every economy from time to time, will have financial crises. the roots are almost always government policies and then they manifest themselves in the banking system. we have an economy like the chinese that relies on debt financing for real estate, plant investment. the problem is inevitable. havecertainly are going to bad debts. in many ways, this is similar to in 2000.ened in 98 and part of the bad debts are related to the financial crisis because of their fiscal stimulus program and policies. the of it is related to shadow banking. are, you know,t in that market to the private sector. funding.it, municipal the way i look at it is that first of all, i don't think capacityubts that the or commitment they have to prevent the failure of systematically important companies -- today, the problem municipalities. estate owned -- state owned enterprises. the public do not have the leverage. the central government has huge capacity. today, th

a strange animal in china. the publication of gdp is more like an instrument of communication policy. what is true is that china, for what it wants to be, a consumer-based society and a productive society in which strong value-added is produced, ,s it was in the years before needs slower growth. you need slower growth to reach these -- this new economic state, and once you are in a consumer society, you cannot add the kind of growth that you used to have before. is very, the transition delicate. if you go out to the market and tell to the market that china is growing by 4.5% or 5%, the market will crash. the communication by chinese officials of the changes that are needed on gdp to attain economic and structural reform is very, very delicate. this is done very well through gdp and gdp targets that are smaller and smaller. they will continue to be. i'm not sure that gdp data that will be published this week will have a major affect or can change the perception we have on china. >> all right. that perception, es

another health issue facing china. let's find out what is happening index as the asia-pacific goes overall. we have some weakness, of course, taking place as far as japan goes. what is happening on the mckay is what -- i mean -- on the nikkei is waiting on the broader markets today. decline oneeing a the msci asia-pacific, snapping that eight-day winning streak and we are off a two-month high. check out the msci, down by about 4/10 of 1%. japan contribute into the big declines, 1.3%. check out the hang seng, the composite. we will be watching these closely today. also, of course, india as the election gets underway, we will be taking you there in a few minutes. the chaos of time malaysia, starting with a modest advance. we are seeing the philippines composite modestly lower. in australia, checking the asx 200. we have libyan rebels opening two parts. that has brought down the price of brent crude, having an impact on the commodities markets. let's take a look at that. it is impacting these commodity producers across th

powerhouse china is not involved. recent ttp negotiations focused on tariffs, environmental protections, and intellectual properties. if the agreement is signed it would encompass close to 40% of the world's gross domestic product. joining us to mark the 20th birthday of the enact of ment of the north american trade agreement story. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> we heard from karla hills who was there at the beginning, ambassador, is nafta popular in canada? >> it is very popular. trade with the united states and mexico is extremely popular. and i think that for our purposes when we're here in washington we county out that canada is the united states largest customer. we buy more goods, so i think we talk about trade agreements in abstract terms. i think we have to be more effective in talking as customers from each other as well as sellers to each other. >> so someone standing in an edmonton supermarket or driving a truck out of quÉbec, if we stop them and ask them did nafta work out for you, wh

this is not necessary depends on china and only force of forty percent alliance for school to china the steely we rely on them or not locked and the soul we have to be very careful of paul vi at the situation seal the international market the name that was often than fifty years. but overall i think the i wish to be a very very headache often send it with hope that the end of the act and the interactions will be yet and since you to succeed even proceed to out any yet. national forests and and that would be now consolidating image over taiwan and soon a mature democracy. ray and given the fact that we are in the two party system. a lot of people that he had no two thousand sixteen of course and the remarkable laundry is supposed that the ppp big deal it does come back to power in two thousand sixteen what with dpp to do for me because will extend a game that he served as the dl vice minister of fondue and fears council on the dpp maturation and dunno when your current capacity as independent scholars now what we think will be different. with the ppp coming back to how or why cannot stan

of course he's not visiting china but the whole trip is act china and saying to china, america has security and economic ties in the region. >> how sensitive is it going to be on the ground in the philippines? few decades ago they didn't want the american presence anymore. will that be mirrored ed ied i? >> yes. at times it's get them out. there's a mixed feeling in the philippines about the u.s. presence. some still want especially with rising china to have a close relationship with the u.s. there's a huge philippine community in the united states as well. they're watching this. there are quite a lot of people that want a strong u.s. military presence. >> as far as the american public is concerned, stationing more troops there or sending more troops in, will they be happy with that in terms of presence in that area and potential intelligence ties perhaps with the philippines in the fight against al qaeda? >> well, first of all there's no appetite for american soldiers a broad period. it's been remarkable this whole trip has been -- the only things getting air time is really about president

i see a panel that's very informed about china, good contacts within china. why is it that the decision was made not to include someone who was part of the chinese system or a scholar from china studying the chinese system in a more rooted perspective nestically rather than -- domestically rather than an international policy perspective? >> fair enough. we talked about that, in fact. >> sure. >> i mean, that's a fair comment, just a little empathy i hope you'll have. it's very difficult to put these panels together, these events, and we try to find the best people, and we did certainly explore the possibility of bringing some chinese experts of the kind you describe and were unable to get the right person for this particular panel. but i think we would like to do more of this. this is, as i said, only a halfway point in our study, and we certainly expect to have more. and we, by the way, along the way we've had events including chris has done a couple of events with some officials involved in some of these decisions. so we certainly encourage that and want to

guest: a lot is about china. china is growing rapidly. they are the largest trading partner that the president will visit. it is not like these countries want trouble with the chinese. they are feeling enormous pressure. the chinese art claiming small islands. these islands stretch from japan to the philippines. the president has put a lot of attention on asia. he has not sent a consistent signal on how we think about china. at times, he has said we want to remodel our relations. at other times, he has sounded pretty tough, standing up for our allies. one thing he will have to do is explain how we are standing by our allies and will not tolerate pressure on them. at the same time, we will cooperate with china and have a lot of mutual benefits. it is a hard balancing act. will have to try to make that message clear. host: the story is laying out on every front page. i want to read from the washington post and get your thoughts. on one level, the president has a list of tasks waiting for him. he will try to ease tensions with the japanese p

but if it sounds like china and feels like china it's probably china. >> it's like a duh. >> what about philippines? because it's a focus of military partnership. >> with an old ally the philippines and the u.s. i think at the center of whatever topic will be discussed in manila later on of course even into tomorrow it's that's se agreement expected to be signed. a draft has been drafted and it was described by both parties as an enhanced defense cooperation. i was speaking with the finance minister last week to get his thoughts on how interests are aligned in the space. >> the philippines as a sovereign country needs to make sure that it's able to monitor its area of responsibility. and lately the president has decided to improve the capacity of our forces to have awareness of what's going on. in our area of responsibility. and i think that will be an area of mutual interest between the philippines and the u.s. >> now, this center of whatever topic will be discussed increased pressance of the u.s. military in the philippines is being framed by the u.s. as increasing their capability to

does not act in ukraine this could embolden china to seize the disputed islands in the china seas. on the other hand if the u.s. does counter act russia in the ukraine, it may send a message to japan if japan wants to be aggressive over the islands, that could cause tension. the three sides are locked in this careful dance over what's going to happen with these islands. i think the importance of them cannot be overstated. >> i'm always interested when people say country c is watching to see what country b is doing in country a and who they're doing about that. there are their own risks and benefits that all get gamed out individually. does china make its conclusion abouts how it's going to confront the united states based on what it sees happening in eastern europe, a place where we've dug in for 40 years after the second world war? >> that's a good point but it is the best data point that china does have. this is how the u.s. is acting right now. yes, things are different in ukraine. it's not the same treaty alliance with ukraine. it's not part of n.a.t.o. japan is a much more imp

you get a nice position and you negotiate with china. as luck. laughing why china is at us. why they are outsmarting us. i do not know if you saw the other day but it was shocking to people. they just devalued their currency again. went to the wharton school of finance. i'm good at this stuff. it is common sense. it makes it really tough for us to compete for project and jobs and all the things they're taking out of our system. nobody would have thought they would have had encouraged to devalued the currency again. they have no respect for our country. none. i am a big believer in military. i do not want to use it. when you have it, you do not have to use it. when you don't have it, you have to use it. when you have it, you don't have to use it. we are cutting way back. many decades it has not been this weak. many decades we have not spent this little as a percentage. we are cutting way back great putin who is absolutely having a great time. russia is really hot stuff. now you have people in the ukraine, set up or not but it cannot all be set up, are marching in favor of joi

/china relations. to start off, i'm going to ask the panel a few question and see if there are any connections between the issues. i would like to start with you if you do not mind. the crisis and crimea and ukraine is occupying a lots of the time and attention of u.s. officials. i think it is coming into question some of the declared strategic trailer tease of the obama administration including the pivot to asia. do you think the united states will have to reorient its strategic rarities to deal with the crisis? europeans and ukrainians expecting that? >> let me say what kind of a backdrop going back a few years. what you have seen since the end of the cold war is the united states having the ability to have to devote less time and attention and resources to europe. that is largely reflecting the success of european policy over the last 20 years. with the enlargement of the european union, you have really anchored the states of central intoastern europe institutions. when this policy was launched, one

products in china. and right now you know it's very interesting, you talk to farmers and ranchers it is an easy sell because of course they look what's happening and how fast that consumption engine is growing and the need to feed the chinese people. it's no longer, you mentioned wall street. it used to be wall street in a lot of the big global companies but i think right now that constituents, you know, clean tech companies and technology, and at the state and city level there's a lot of people that are looking for chinese investment to come in. i was with at company in fujou last friday which really wasn't that long ago and, and, a leading manufacturer of auto glass, you know. the fujou group. they just bought a huge plant in china. they should be in ohio. >> ohio. >> and they're growing to look at hiring a thousand people. and think that's what you, the case we need to make. now i think it's a hard case and i sure don't want to be the one that's trying to say this directly to someone who has lost his

growth in china. the other way around, chinese companies want access to american investors. >> that's true. and that also has a lot to do with conditions in china. there is a moratorium of -- there is a backlog of [ inaudible ] nervous about that. so that's one reason why people are coming to the u.s. hong kong was also a traditional place for ipo's and that waned preve rece recently. so there can be i think 30 listings. >> okay. lilly thank you very much for talking to us. is lillico. any other politician admits to smoking crack, and their career is probably over. not this guy, toronto mayor is still in office and still in the running for another term. the reason? voters and their bottom line. i'll explain more when "real money" continues. keep it right here. ♪ >>> i want to talk to you about something i hold dear to my heart. many of you know i'm from toronto, canada. there are lots of great things about toronto. i wouldn't put the city's mayor top of the list. he was elected in 2010 for touting h

modus and china, it is relevant. shiseido is smaller than l'oreal, so for l'oreal to go and buy existing brands, it is important for that market, where their own brand has not been as successful as they would expect it to be. >> why are they not being successful? they are still keeping maybelline. is the chinese buyer -- do they not like brands they do not know ? do they want something like a magic, which is home grown? to the chinese buyer, it is probably the opposite. they know what is happening in there doing a lot of research on the brands. they have a great appetite for brands. garnier asdo not see a relative brand. brands transfer quite well and to china. the chinese have been big buyers of european cognac, leather goods, everything you can think about. why are cosmetics different? >> they are different in terms of the product. on your skin,put a lot of formulation needs to change, packaging needs to change. there may be issues with product themselves. i also think, particularly in china, we see that the market

we want to show both sides of the story. ♪ welcome to the china him -- the china market. if we are indeed in a bubble here, you will likely have some competition at opposite ends of the electrified spectrum. bloomberg, beijing. with a tope is right speed of under 35 miles an hour. it is not quite as much fun to drive as a bmw or a tesla. we have talked gm, apple, and facebook. we have earnings as well as long -- as well as dozens for you. for handlingdvice success from she kilo neil. o'neal.ille ♪ minutes past the hour. that means bloomberg tv is on the markets. let's look at where stocks are trading today. we're up again by and large. the s&p and the nasdaq especially are gaining ground on the back of better than estimated tech earnings from the -- the likes of apple. make this theill second largest company in the industry. we are also watching under armour. shares of the company have dropped the most in two years. in on a streaks and has been on a streak, with at least 20% increase for the past 16 quarters straight. we will have more on the markets in 30 minutes. moor

and china. because if they want to develop their strategic deterrence by using plutonium and by lifting the cork in the bottle, getting rid of the u.s./japan security accord, then what would the picture be like? i mean, are you concerned with this sort of security scenario? who will be the first to take my question? >> well, i mean, i'm very concerned about the islands issue. i think the most likely scenario leading to a future u.s./china conflict is not a direct conflict of material interests, actually. i think if there are trade issues, security issues, the united states and china are likely to find possum outcomes. the real danger is getting sucked into a conflict between china and japan or china and taiwan. so as americans we should care very much about the islands and the taiwan issue. >> what about the issue of women? that has a lot to do with your closest ally in northeast asia, south korea. the president feels very happy about the japanese reluctance to accept the issue of -- [inaudible]

the danger is with china. we have the world's second largest economy, $1.3 billion people we're looking at the decimal point move on 420 manufacturers. we simply cannot get enough of clarity, i think maybe too much into a 0.1 or 0.2 difference. it's precipitously falling which is great. we're in a bit of a rut. trust products are up 8% in t m terms of fishing. chinese government are trying to do everything to get it going. >> that's a good point, whether it's down to monetary or fiscal policy. the market is looking for a stimulus. we had the moves to catch the triple r, for some of the rural banks. there's been some hope that rrr can be extended to other banks. you have to wonder whether there's more room or stimulus on the credit front for china. >> they have a horrible problem. i would hate to be the chinese leadership. the problem is very much one of their own making. but they have a horrible problem that they can't bring out too much stimulus for fear of basically propping up bubbles. and yet, at the same
