over the last period of time china has understood what it wants from america more than america understands what it wants from china so the chinese system has helped to pursue interest more efficiently and america has allowed to pursue its interest so china looks that the relationship but clearly based on specific national interest where america has a tendency to look long term and not worry about short-term interest that has created problems for the united states more than chinese and this has benefited then in the short-term or if you put money down today hoping to get something tomorrow so from now prospective the chinese and the government have played america better than america has played to enact maybe they have relatively more success. >> you spoke earlier about the demographic issues so please compare and contrast those demographic issues with those facing the united states. >> that's a great question. sometimes this year but definitely by 2020 the average age will be data above the united states title of a larger percentage of the population above 60 by 2,025,100,000,000 people wil
