investment strategist liz ann sonders. live reports and analysis. we have you covered from beijing, new york, and chicago. fbam, your look at -- "fbn:am," your look at markets and breaking news, what to expect in the day ahead. mike ingram, market analyst at bgc partners joins us on the phone. mike what are you thinking now, after this crazy week? look, we're down 5% but up arrows this morning. now what? >> frankly i would just stay well away. very controversially underweight equity markets end of the first quarter of last year. and i'm still quite happy to be that way. we don't know what the end game in china is yet. i don't think we can look for durable stabilization in risk markets until we know what the endgame is. my best guess we'll see much weaker currency. maybe 7.3 versus the dollar. very little policy transparency out of peoples bank of china and government doesn't helpers. we don't know what happens next. yes, china is up but own after massive government intervention. nicole: what advice would you give to regulators there? >> very difficult to offer useful advice. we wan

government. but it shows us just how different perception is between let's say people outside of beijing, and what they think about their own economy. >> sure, you have industrial output number for enough up 6.2%. you cannot reconcile this with a market research firms number that you referred to, it has been negative for 10 consecutive months, even the official purchasing managers index for manufacturing has been negative for 5 straight months. deirdre: that is the federal one. >> yes. deirdre: we have to assume it is a a few points worse? >> right. when you have is the industrial numbers coming out of beijing, they are wrong, the economy, probably is growing 0. maybe 1%. it is not growing at 6.9 that beijing is telling us there is a big gap. deirdre: you were fantastic, you kept us company through the year last year, we saw the numerous data points, and we saw beijing try, that is to say government there, monetary stimulus, fiscal stimulus, putting selling pa caps in the stock market but it has not workd. >> it has not, we had 6 reductions of benchmark interest since november 20 14, mon

a few hours from now. joining us for the very latest. cmn will ripley live for us from beijing. this is a big provocation by the north koreans. >> reporter: absolutely, christine. if their claims are true that if is, in fact an h-bomb, it's a different situation within have you this regime, which invested aggressively in growing the nuclear arsenal, now in possession of a weapon, more powerful than in 29 and tweeting. the tremors were a 5.1 mag new tied event felt in china, forcing the evacuation of schools. it's a test site in the northern part of the peninsula near the border with chosen. right now the chinese government is out testing for radiation. the japanese government sent up planes to see what environment am impact if any. the north koreans say they tested without adverse effects to the environment. it's sending a strong message they will continue in spite of very strong sanctions to grow their nuclear program to develop more warheads. they have the resources, financially and also they have raw uranium in the country. so the united states, which for since 2009 really has dri

this, and china, even though beijing is certain to be fur use at the north koreans is unlikely to take the kind of really harsh steps that would compel a change in north korean behavior. so the north probably calculates this gives it leverage if there's any diplomatic activity that follows, and it's in the driver's seat in every other country in the region as to how to react. >> do expect the north's relationship will stay the same with north korea? this alleged h bomb test could be seen as an insult to efforts on north korea's behalf. how is that relationship likely to change after this, if at all, do you think? >> well, this nuclear test is really a slap in the face to china. beijing shifted its approach to north korea in recent months. before then china had been somewhat more critical and stand offish toward the north. in the past new months a top official visited pyongyang. the chinese, evidently made a calculation that being more friendly to the north would improve beijing's leverage and encourage north korea to shy away from further provocative steps. clearly that approach d

stronger ties with beijing. >> there has been no compromise towards citizens seeking genuine democracy or true universal suffrage. in this episode, we see where the people of the umbrella revolution are now and hear their thoughts for the future. we began our filming for this episode roughly a week before the 18th anniversary of hong kong's return to chinese rule. we had been following the prodemocracy movement since last year's anniversary. and we're there the night before the umbrella revolution reached its peak.re there the night bef the umbrella revolution reached its peak.,. and were there the night before the umbrella revolution reached its pea and were there the night before the umbrella revolution reached its peak. by the time marchers reached the square in front of the hong kong government headquarters, protesters were already occupying the central district. over 100,000 people blocked the streets. protesters of all ages passionately cried out for hong kong's future until everything was forcefully broken up on december 15th. some students still visit the heavily fort

, including southeast asia, friends in washington, d.c., and also the possible reaction from beijing. therefore, we need to be cautious in doing these kinds of things. we will do it only after careful consultations with all parties concerned. and we don't want to rule out the possibility of opening up the archive for international review. >> okay. we will open up the floor to questions. let me first say in addition to the video being online at "csi" s.org, we will have the full text of joseph's speech, which is a little longer than what he gave today. that will be the authoritative one. so that will be there for your reference. we will be bringing over microphones. do please identify yourself and ask a question. and i'm going to ask that the first question not come from journalists, if that's okay. and then i promise i will open up the floor to journalists. i want to give some nonjournalists an opportunity to ask the first question. so over there, yes, this young lady who has her hand raised. >> thank you very much. my name is lynn. i'm from the brookings institution. i would like to

holding banners saying taiwan is not part of china, that is the sentiment that makes beijing's blood boil. if it becomes overt and is endorsed in an official way by the administration. you'll see a lot of friction. certainly for now, the time is to party for the people. it will be a long night of celebration. they believe they have won the election. we are waiting for official coirmation. that is expected to come probably within the next two hours. certainly, as you can see, the mood here now is different to the mood where scott heidler is. >> it is. as you can see, the question, though, is how will beijing react. now, before the elections, it was said that she wanted to maintain a status quo with china, would that tone down the party rhetoric? >> well, you are right about the status quo. basically the d.p.p. supports the status quo which basically regards this republic as de facto independence. now, the kmt took the approach that they believed in the notion of china and taiwan being part of one nation, that would one day be reunified. the dpp take the opposite course. they want to mainta

yesterday's drop. investors replain wary of the economic situation in china, despite efforts by beijing to stabilize there. and the escalating situation between iran and saudi arabia is adding to the sense of anxiety. the shanghai composite closed down 0.3% earlier in the day, the index dived more than 3% before recovering much of that ground. the index is now at a near three-month low. reports that china's central bank intervened with a cash injection gave the markets a lift for a while but the upward momentum eventually stalled. it was a mixed picture overall in the rest of the asia-pacific region. seoul's kospi rebounded 0.6% as some market players went bargain hunting. indonesian shares rose 0.7%, boosted by financials and automakers. sydney's s&p asx fell 1.6%. concerns over china dragged down banking shares. >>> wary investors avoided taking big gambles in tokyo. they watched as stocks wavered. we go to recommeto the tokyo st exchange. >>> shares were in and out of positive territory. many investors deciding to play it safe. a few of them went out for a little bit of bargain hunti

beijing to meet the chinese envoy. he wants to discuss responses to north korea's fourth nuclear test and the role china will play. >> translator: north korea depends on china for about 90% of its trade. so china has significant influence. >> hwang says he believes china will play a major role in the process of getting a new resolution adopted. he said it will do that because it's a permanent member of the u.n. security council. hwang had already met senior officials from japan and the united states to coordinate responses. it remains to be seen whether he'll persuade the chinese to join hands with them. chinese leaders denounced north korea for the nuclear left, but have said they want to resolve the situation through dialogue. >>> chinese authorities say they have detained a swedish human rights worker on national security rights charges. the move is part of a crackdown which chinese officials have detained and interrogated 200 people since last summer. they deployed employees. >> translator: a swedish citizen, peter dahlin, is subject to criminal law enforcement in beijing on suspi

the beijing, china, with all those skyscrapers looking unsafe. on the top, you see investors and stock pokers about to fall off. the u.s. boat is on one side. boat is on the other side. let's go to "the wall street journal" paper, saying the market is darkening. the quotes in the piece are bleak -- we have pessimistic mood, raining, corporate bosses losing faith -- i had to struggle to find one of the quote, and it was -- up the quote, and it goes once the emotion comes out and we express all of that, fundamentals are going to be good. genie: analysts are always looking for someone or something to blame, and we saw that yours a moment ago. a big source of world business woes seem to be coming from china. nick: let's go to georgia for will in "the washington post" and elsewhere in the papers in the u.s.. argument isll's china's economy is deeply flawed. he says look at local government in china. you have a debt of $2.9 trillion. you have local government officials running the economy when they do not understand market economy. the quote that stood out to me was this 1 -- "socialis

north korea. he has met with his chinese counterpart in the capital of beijing. he described north korea's nuclear program as a major challenge to global surety. he also called on them to increase tension over disputed parts of the south china sea. the director for the china national association of international studies joins us now. we had hoped to have been able to discuss john kerry and his chinese counterpart's press conference. that has been delayed for another hour. we do have an idea of what they would have been talking about. the first thing, of course, being, programs the most important, a way forward on north korea's nuclear program, which is a major challenge, kerry said, to global security. what sort of response would he get there in beijing? >> there is no doubt that the continued nuclear arms testing by dprk constitutes a major threat to peace and stability not only on the korean peninsula itself, but others. china is a victim by these repeated nuclear testing by dprk i think china has called for the resumption of a six-party talk and urges a rationality and the reaso

us here. going to our correspondent adrian brown who joins us live from the chinese capital, beijing. we hear a rather discomforted jp niece prime minister-- japanese prime minister spokesperson there talking about coordinating responses to this with its allies. what is coming out of beijing? >> reporter: the foreign in ministry daily press briefing is taking place as i speak, so within the next 50 minutes or so we will know exactly how china's government will have reacted to this alleged h bomb test by north korea. in the past china has reacted very angrily to previous tests. of course, china is just about the only friend the north korea has right now, but there are deep strains in that relationship because beijing is alarmed by the prospect of having a nuclear neighbor. what its nightmare scenario is, is the idea that there could somehow be conflict on the korean peninsula, and war being on its borders. this will inevitably be discussed at the united nations. we have to look to the time are fog this h bomb-- to the timing of this h bomb test. because in the near future it is the bi

leadership in beijing regards the dpp with a lot of suspicion because of its pro-independent stance. tonight tsai ing-wen referred to the fact that she wants to maintain the status quo which is de facto independence for taiwan while at the same time agreeing to disagree with beijing over exactly what taiwan's ambiguous status is. so in a way nothing has really changed, but what will, i think, decide matters is if she decides to push the independence agenda even by a little amount. that could be enough to cause real friction with beijing >>> thanks for that. iran says its confident international sanctions will be lifted this weekend as top diplomats gather in vienna to discuss implementation of last year's nuclear deal. in july tehran agreed to curb its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. the watchdog is due to deliver the report on whether iran has honoured that agreement. iran's foreign minister says he believes sanctions will be removed after the report is published. >> today is a day when we prove to the world that threats, sanctions, intimidation and pressure don't

things. question, why the did potentially sensitive pentagon data once flow through beijing? what the answer to that? is the answer to that? craig: we don't really know the answer. let me explain a little bit. phone, verizon is my network. my phone sends a signal to verizon and verizon sense it around the world. s it around the world. once the communication gets to transitionctors, the happens at a sophisticated level . as these think of them giant, mighty rivers, the mississippi of the internet. the data is transmitted through a protocol that was built a couple of decades ago, but it turns out, like all of this , these are rivers that can be diverted if you know what you're doing. there was a time a couple of years ago when all of this data from the united states suddenly and mysteriously, for less than half an hour, flow through all these giant computers in beijing . that included a bunch of military data. , it is certainly the case that most of the time when these itzy things happen online, is in an accident. it's not like you see signs that say this is the beijing government o

needs president xi jinping to use his influence to reign in kim jong-un. she's considering beijing is pyongyang's only major ally and veto wielding member of the u.n. security council. she's also cautious of rising criticism for not having a coordinated response to such a critical event. she could not reach president xi over the phone following the nuclear test. that's despite the fact that both countries opened a defense minister's hot line late last year. president park has always taken a pro-china stance. she attended beijing's military parade last september commemorating the end of world war ii and she's faced criticism inside and outside her country for that. park said her government will do its best to win backing from the women and their supporters who oppose this deal. she implied the possibility of meeting them and explaining the details of the agreement. park was asked about cooperating with japan in areas such as defense and economy following the agreement. she said bilateral cooperation is needed and that she wants to further strengthen ties with japan. and she indicate
