We begin with unrest 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.960 in China. Protests are spreading after COVID rules were blamed 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.240 for hampering rescue efforts when a fire broke out in 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.920 apartment block, killing ten people. We get more from Bloomberg 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.880 News Managing editor m O'Brien, who saw what started as 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.280 vigils and pushback against this horrific fire in Ronchi and 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.600 Northwest China in an apartment block that people that lead 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.839 was locked out due to COVID controls. Peaceful vigils sort 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.440 of morphing into wider protests against people not wanting to 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.440 be taken away into quarantine cats, people pushing back against 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:27.760 PCR testing, tussling with COVID workers, and in some cases 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.680 pushing down testing boots in various cities. This is spreading 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:37.000 across different chatas of society and does show no signs 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:41.040 of abating. Bloomberg Exama O'Brien says these protests marked the 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.239 most significant challenges to Communist Party rule since the Tianamen 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.000 Square crisis more than thirty years ago, and the unrest 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.320 in China's rippling through global markets. Amy stocks in Shenjen 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.280 and Hong Kong film more than one percent overnight. We 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.960 get the recap from Bloomberg's Juliette Sally in Singapore, Good Morning, Juliet, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.560 Good Morning Nathan, and Amy. Chinese shares listened in Hong 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.639 Kong led the declines in the region, while those on 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.280 the mainland also came under pressure. The on show You 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.600 undropped as much as one percent against the green back 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.760 before trimming some of those losses. Broader stocks in Taiwan 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.920 were hurt by the ruling parties resounding defeating island wide 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.120 local elections and elsewhere when Macau and MGM China surge, 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.040 leading gains among the six Macau casino operators that rewarded 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.320 new licenses to continue running their business in the gambling 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.640 hub in Singapore. Juliette Sally Bloomberg Daybreak, Thank you, Juliette. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.680 The rare protests in China are prompting investors to rethink 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.720 bets on the country after jumping back in on hopes 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.480 of a reopening. Mark Mobius, the founder of Mobius Capital Partners, 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.880 tells Bloomberg he does not expect those demonstrations to end peacefully. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.440 It's clear to me that she cannot tolerate any protests, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.360 so there will be a very tough crackdown on any protesters. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.000 More people will be arrested, and they will probably go 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.960 further in terms of control. Those comments from Mark Mobia 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.840 has come as Goldman Sacks economists say they now see 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.480 some chance of a disorderly exit from COVID zero in China, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.360 and now Amy Dr Anthony Fauci is making the rare 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.240 move of publicly criticizing China's COVID zero policy. We get 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.240 that part of the story from Bloomberg's, said Baxter. Dr 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.799 Fauci says he's been puzzled all along about China's overall 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.840 COVID strategy. It seems that in China it was just 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.279 a very very strict, extraordinary lockdown. We lock people in 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.279 the house, but without any seemingly endgame to it. And 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.000 Dr Fauci and NBC has heard on Bloomberg says he 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.520 also doesn't understand why China relied on vaccines solely manufactured 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.000 in China. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Daybreak, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.240 Thank you, d The turmoil in China is having an 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.800 impact on Apple and production capacity for its flagship product. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.800 Let's get the latest now lie with Bloomberg. Steve Rappaport, 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.440 Good morning Steve, Good morning, Amy, and Nathan. Apple is 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.280 looking at a shortfall of nearly six million iPhone pro 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.000 units this year because of problems that a key manufacture 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.440 ring hub. The plant has been plagued by lockdowns and 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.680 worker unrest following violent protests against pandemic restrictions. Thousands of 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.599 workers fled in October. The people who replaced them quickly 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.360 rebelled against pay and quarantine rules. The facility, operated by 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.000 fox Contechnology Group, produces some of Apple's most in demand handsets. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.880 Apple and fox Con reportedly expect to make up production 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.880 losses next year.

The capital Key is covered in snow 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.640 as temperatures fall below freezing across the country.

Meanwhile, the congressman 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.880 who would chair the House Intelligence Committee when the GOP 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.320 assumes majority in January says rumors that Republicans will pull 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.440 back congressional support of Ukraine are not true. My Turner 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.160 of Ohio says, though the GOP Leadhouse will pass a 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.439 to Ukraine as standalone measures, we don't need to pass 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.480 forty billion dollar large Democrat bills that have been being 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.280 passed to send eight billion dollars to Ukraine.

Trump's impromptu 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.800 dinner with Nick Fluentez at Mara Lago last week has 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.480 drawn condemnation from only a handful of Republicans, while most 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.559 side step the matter or said nothing.

We're live from the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.800 This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Protests against COVID restrictions spreading across 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.480 China's citizens taking to the streets and to university campuses. 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.680 They venting their anger and frustration on local officials and 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.360 on the Communist Party. Bloomberg political correspondent Rebecca to and 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.120 welcomes joining us now. Rebecca, thank you for taking the 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.480 time with us this morning. Where are we seeing some 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.600 of the biggest reactions to this, Well, I mean, we're 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.280 seeing protests breaking out across at least ten major cities 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.720 in China, and according to sort of a lot of 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.520 the social media footage that we're seeing, and as you say, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:30.080 it's really directed at the very very stringent COVID zero 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.080 policies we've seen. But I think it also, you know, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.320 does reflect as much broader malaise that we've seen as 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.480 the economy really starts to stutter under the weight of 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.640 these policies for more than two years, very very strict lockdowns, 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.720 and of course his crisis in the property sector. Now, Rebecca, 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.440 let's talk about the extraordinary nature of some of these protests. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.400 Some protesters over the weekend calling for President Shi Jinping 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.040 to step down unheard of in China. Are we at 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:03.120 a boiling point? Out? Where are we? It is certainly 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.040 very very unusual to see this type of protests. I mean, 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.280 protest in China is not that rare, but it's normally 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.600 deeply localized, and it's normally sort of around dispute or 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.120 real estate issues. It is very unusual to see protests 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:20.080 in this way directed and challenging the power of Cpen 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.840 King and also the Chinese Communist Party. At the moment, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.360 the efforts seem quite still quite disparate. We haven't seen 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:33.000 these signs of sort of comprehensive organizing or coordinated organizing, 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.200 and there is still potential move for that, and that 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.280 will really be I think what authority has become deeply 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.560 worried about. And we're also seeing the bulk of protests 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:47.040 remain quite um peaceful. Um. There has been some tustles 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.160 or some video footage of tuffles between protesters and police, 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.040 but for the large part they haven't actually become violent 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.160 in any way. Does this compare at all to Ten 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.520 Animal Square, which we saw more than thirty years ago. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.880 I think, in many people's eyes is certainly the largest 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.960 challenge to the Communist Party and to the leader of 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.879 China and since Tianamen Square, And of course there are 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.000 lots of parallels when you think about the sort of 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.160 populations that are driving as many young people, many students, 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.320 driving a lot of these protests, and unlike in the 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.359 unlike in Tianamen, we're also seeing women play quite a 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:27.440 significant role really out there leading speeches, particularly for example, 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.240 in some of the university protests that we've seen too. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.359 Do you anticipate that these protests can nudge leaders to 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.480 many behind the scenes privately decided to start reopening sooner. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.040 Would you anticipate more of a lockdown or a crackdown? 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.880 What do you see in the future. Well, I think 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.680 maybe that that's the crux, and in one one one hand, 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.640 it sort of will be impacted by the inflection point. 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.600 You know what type of escalation do we see from 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.160 the protests, do they become violent? But on the other 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.960 you know, when he saw the Congress, of course he's 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.239 been Pink just has had this coronation of shorts as 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.440 unprecedented also president breaking third term as leader of the 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.879 Chinese Communist Party. The fear was that as he placed 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.320 allies in all of the sort of top positions in 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.920 the party, that there really wouldn't be a diversity or 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:21.200 a range of view talking to him and advising him, 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.520 you know, when to change courts. And I think for 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.879 many people there was this concern, who is going to 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.560 tell season Pink when he takes a misstep when things 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.600 go wrong? And the worry, I think in this case 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.720 is precisely now, after he has taken all of these 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.440 steps to sort of red rival factions and rid criticism 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.000 in the party, who is going to sort of usher 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.840 him into taking those steps? And when we look at 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.359 his previous reaction, for example in Hong Kong or with 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.800 with COVID treatment in the early stages of China, actually 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.600 there was seemed to be a delayed response. There was 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.840 quite of a lackluster sort of stand office response from 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.560 Beijing for quite a number of months, and then we 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.680 saw the very heavy handed response, and so I think 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.080 there is again some worry that we may see something 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.239 similar again this time. Last thirty seconds here, Rebecca very 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:14.879 quickly Goldman sacks forecasting at probability of a disorderly exit 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.280 from COVID zero. What does that look like? What's a 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.680 disorderly exit? Well, I think the biggest problem here is 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.800 going to be vaccinations and the healthcare system. China simply 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.600 doesn't have the healthcare system to support a huge influx 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.080 of COVID crass. And one particular issue is of cause. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.520 With omicorn and other variance being so so infectious, it's 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.639 becomes very very difficult to control the rate of infections. 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:43.440 So I think it disorderly. A disorderly exit looks like 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.960 one of the overwhelms the public health systems where we 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.960 see very high mortality rates. All right, Bloomberg Political correspondent 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.600 Rebecca toun welcomes will be watching it with you. Thank 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.600 you so much.

Peaceful vigils sort of 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.840 morphing into wider protests against people not wanting to be 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.560 taken away to quarantine cats.
