1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News. 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Bloomberg Daybreak Asia Podcast. I'm Dan Schwartzman. 3 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: Doug Chrisner is off this week, coming up the latest 4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: developments from the Shanghai Cooperation Summit in Tianjin, China. But 5 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: we begin with the markets. On Tuesday, we'll get the 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 2: first US trading session of September, which is usually the 7 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: weakest month for stocks. From more, we hear from Michael Hartnett, 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 2: chief investment strategist at b of A Global Research. He 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 2: spoke at Bloomberg Television hosts Sherry On in April, Honk 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: on the Asia trade. 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: Really good to have you with us. Should we get 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: started with what to expect out of the US, because, 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we are headed towards the reopen after the holidays, 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: but valuations have been pretty high. I mean, is this 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: a concern. 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 3: Yes, it is a concern. It's one of the few concerns. However, 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 3: I think people are very happy that we've seen a 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: turn in tariff's lower, We're seeing a turn in rates lower, 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 3: we're seeing taxation lower, and of course you've got an 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: incentive now for both the administration to be joined by 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: the Fed in creating good economic conditions in front of 22 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 3: the midterms next year. 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 4: So I think there's. 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: Still a fair bit of amentum behind the US market. 25 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 3: I think the difference in twenty twenty five is that 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: there are other stories around the world. Japan's one of them, 27 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: China is another one of them. So it's not just 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: a US exclusive bull story. But I think the story 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 3: in the US is still fairly intact. But you're very right. 30 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 3: The valuations are the one thing the longer term investors 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 3: are looking at in the US and seeing can I 32 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: really get the upside from the US that I could 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: get perhaps out of China or Japan going forward in 34 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: the next twelve months. 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: Does that also apply to the currency space as well. 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: We have seen the dollar now lose ground for the 37 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: last five sessions. 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, the dollars in a bear market and the 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: dollars down ten percent year to date. There are good 40 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: reasons for that. The bear market will continue. Interest rates 41 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 3: are going to come down in the US. You've still 42 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: got a lot of debt, a lot of deficits, You've 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 3: got a finance You've got a very radical president pursuing 44 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: quite radical, unconventional you know, policies. Some are good, some 45 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: are bad, but foreign investors have a little worry about that, 46 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: and I think that that bear market will continue. That's 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 3: why golds at an all time high. That's why silver's 48 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 3: at an all time high. A normal US dollar bull 49 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 3: bear market, you know, is down thirty forty percent. Thus far, 50 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 3: we're down ten percent and you've still got further to 51 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: go with a dollar going down. And of course that's 52 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: one of the reasons why in twenty twenty five international 53 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: markets have outperformed the US. 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 5: You're positive on Japan as well. What in terms of 55 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 5: stocks do you like there? What are you perhaps steering 56 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 5: clear off? 57 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: Well, I think there's interest in Japan. 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm here at the Bank of America, you know, 59 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: Tokyo Conference, the Japan Conference. I think we've got six 60 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: hundred plus global investors here. I think eighty percent of 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: them are from overseas. 62 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: I think the. 63 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 3: Numbers up twenty twenty five percent, you know from last year. 64 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: Why are they coming to Japan, Well, a, they're looking 65 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: for an alternative from the USB. You know, the currency 66 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: is cheap. But I think there are Japanese narratives. One 67 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: is you know, the content, you know, companies, and other 68 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: is the defense industry, which is starting to grow because 69 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,839 Speaker 3: of you know, US isolationism. And of course you've got 70 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: a banking industry in Japan, which you. 71 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: Know suddenly is doing well. 72 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 6: You know. 73 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: And even though the Japanese banks are up two hundred, 74 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: three hundred, four hundred percent from their lows three four 75 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: years ago, they're still, believe it or not, seventy percent 76 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: below where they were in the late eighties. And so 77 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: long as the Bank of Japan is behind the curve, 78 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: which it is, and so long as the Bank of 79 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: Japan is going to be forced to raise interest rates, 80 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: which it will, those bank stocks will do well. So 81 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: I think bank's content, defense are probably the three big 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: narratives in the Japanese market right now. 83 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 5: What about ships in techs in Japan? 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: The tech companies in Japan Again, I think that the 85 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: tech companies globally will continue to do fairly well. I 86 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: think the big focus right now, however, is China. You know, 87 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: I think in China, you know, this is the market, 88 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: the ballmarket that nobody speaks of, and it's very you know, 89 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: you arguably what we've learnt, you know, this year in 90 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five or global investors have learned this year 91 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, driven by that deep seek moment 92 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: that we had earlier on in this year, is that 93 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: you cannot be exclusively in US tech. You need to 94 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: barbel that, particularly with Chinese tech companies. But in addition, 95 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: I think there are Japanese tech companies that can also 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: benefit from that globalization if you like, of the tech 97 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: exposure that investors feel that they need right now. 98 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: And Michael, China is also a geopolitical story, right, I mean, 99 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: with a realignment of alliances and partnerships. You know, of 100 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: course you have a war going on in Ukraine, how 101 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: big will the defense sector be? I mean, overnight we 102 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: saw European defense chairs rallying on ideas that potentially we 103 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 1: could see really a detailed plan on rearmament right now, 104 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: just a headline on the Bloomberg right now that South 105 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: Korea is also going to gradually raise defense costs. It 106 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: seems to be a very global story at the moment. 107 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah. 108 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think that for twenty thirty years, 109 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: I mean, America has really policed the world in exchange, 110 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: if you like, for savings around the world coming back 111 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: to America and buying treasuries and financing the deficit. And 112 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 3: I think, you know, the Trump administration you know, has 113 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 3: really been you know, fairly honest. I think in saying 114 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 3: to the rest of the world, we're no longer going 115 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: to you know, finance your security, We're no longer going 116 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: to make you you know, you know, be your defense industry. 117 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 3: You have to stand up on your own two feet. 118 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 3: And I think we saw that first in Europe, but 119 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: I think now Asia is the next leg of that 120 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 3: defense trade. And as I said earlier, the defense docks 121 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: in Japan are doing well. You yourself said that career. China 122 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: are sort of joining that theme, but it is now 123 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 3: a multi year theme. You know, America has debt problems, 124 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: it has deficit problems. It's said, we can no longer 125 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: use American tax payer money to defend your countries. You 126 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: have to defend them yourselves. And that is going to 127 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: mean that there's going to be greater spending on defense 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: across a greater range of companies, you know, to the 129 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: benefit of those companies within the local stock markets. 130 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 5: Michael, you alluded to some of this earlier. How when 131 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 5: it comes to us exceptionalism, we've seen a bit of 132 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 5: it creepedback and starts AI a key play. Maybe you 133 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 5: talk about the valuation with there. Bonds have also creped 134 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: back in, but dollar, I think that's still the missing 135 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 5: piece of the puzzle. 136 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: And you know, you're. 137 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 5: Still burish in the view even into the end of 138 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 5: the year. What are you expecting into next year as well? 139 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Well? 140 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 4: Again, I think the dollars in a bear market. 141 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: And again, if the dollar was as exceptional as you know, 142 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: everyone thought it was a year ago, the dollar wouldn't 143 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 3: be going down. You know, the dollar is going down 144 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: because the US is less exceptional. It's it's got less 145 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: exceptional outperformance and it's got a less exceptional narrative. 146 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 4: And then again that's partly. 147 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: Because the rest of the world has reasons to invest 148 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: there Europe defense, europe fiscal stimulus, China rebalancing a week 149 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: in a week dollar, which is great for emerging market. 150 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 4: So twenty five is. 151 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: Very different in that suddenly an equity investor has other 152 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: places to invest in. It's not just exclusively the NASDAG. 153 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 4: And so that's why I think. 154 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: That the US has lost a little bit of its 155 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: luster in terms of the exceptionalism story. Of course, it's 156 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: still got Ai, it's still got, you know, a business sector, 157 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: the ones to make money, blah blah blah. But I 158 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: think the dollar is something that will be sacrificed, if 159 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: you like, by the Trump administration. If you want to 160 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: make America great again, and you want to rebalance the 161 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: US economy and you want to get manufacturing going in 162 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: the crucially electorally important states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, 163 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: you really don't want a strong dollar. So I think 164 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: the dollar is in a bear market. 165 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 4: It's just beginning. It will continue. 166 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 3: But as I said, if you look at gold, you 167 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: look at silver, they're telling you that they're very much 168 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: in the early stages of that dollar bear market. 169 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, and all this as part of as you highlighted, 170 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 5: their investors looking for alternatives other than the US, such 171 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 5: and perhaps in Japan. Michael, really good to get your 172 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 5: insights on all this.

Let's start off with 186 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 5: your key takeaways from the SEO. I think one of 187 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 5: the meaningful developments includes grants, investments, loans that China is pledging. 188 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 5: How significant is that to you? 189 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 6: Yes, thank you having absolutely you know you see this 190 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 6: SEO summit held in Tenjin is really very big significance 191 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 6: because it is the largest SEO gathering in more than 192 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 6: twenty years. It's probably the one of the highest level 193 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 6: that we have twenty over some leaders there and Indian 194 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 6: Primise Moody was there. And also this SEO has been 195 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 6: well planned and organized and they used to many statement 196 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 6: For example, they have a ten year long term strategy 197 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 6: has been stipulated. As you said, they're also going to 198 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,479 Speaker 6: establish a new SEO bank. But further than that, they're 199 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 6: also built up quite a few platform plans. For example, 200 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 6: platform on the green industry, on the energy on also 201 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 6: digital and also there's a science and technology platform, education 202 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 6: platform or vocational platform. On top of that. China also 203 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 6: pledged actual dollars and the moneys to this development, so 204 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 6: that you have something to start with, you have something 205 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 6: to catalyze with all those members, So this is really 206 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 6: you have an anchor to really drive that. Plus you 207 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 6: have all those heads of state gather here to really 208 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 6: push forward a kind of the more in the multipolar world. 209 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 6: There's one strong polo here right here gathering as well. 210 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 6: So they actually propose many new thinking as well, that 211 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 6: you're going to maintain maltiltalism, stick to you and principle, 212 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 6: maintain wto There's. 213 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 7: A lot on there. So I think this is really 214 00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 7: a very important gap. 215 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 5: Henry, talk to us about this show of unity between 216 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 5: the Indian, Chinese Russian presidents. What do you see beyond 217 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 5: the symbolism as a way to counter US dominance. 218 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 7: Well, I think they certainly there's a very. 219 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 6: Strong uh you know this, this pleasure demonstrated on what 220 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 6: US has been pushing for. For example, you know, UNI 221 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 6: Lato is unpacking on back off of the who you know, 222 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 6: Climbate agreement and the UNISICO and threatening W two and 223 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 6: all those you know. 224 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 7: Unilatter approach. 225 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 6: Certainly, the China being the second largest economy and India 226 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 6: soon to be the third largest economy, they really want 227 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 6: to show to the world. 228 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,359 Speaker 7: And including Russia, that they want to maintain. 229 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 6: UH the eighty years older global system, want to improve 230 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 6: in largely hands of this system. 231 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 7: They don't want this to be disrupted. So I think 232 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 7: there's a lot of matches sent on that. 233 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 6: You know, they want to actually keep the go go 234 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 6: trade and go go business as as as strong as 235 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 6: they can, and also SL become a mediating public platform. 236 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 6: You see both Prime Mister Moody and Pakistan Mini Prime 237 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 6: Minister they're at the same table Armenia as a jam 238 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 6: had to say, China and India. 239 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 7: Actually get together. 240 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 6: So I think this shows that of course they want 241 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 6: to promote in peace. So SL could be an extra 242 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 6: guarante to UH. Maybe bricks countries like China India can 243 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 6: help settle the Ukraine Russian War. 244 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: How would that differ from all of the other multilateral 245 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: organizations that we already have in place, like the China 246 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: late ai i B for example. 247 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, well ai B is an international organization. 248 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 6: You have a lot of you know, largely developed country 249 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 6: like all the European country are there and many Australia, Canada, 250 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 6: in New Zealand there, so so there's a lot of 251 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 6: a great mix of uh uh bricks countries and the 252 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 6: developed countries like India was there as as a vice president. 253 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 6: India actually received the largest loan from ai B. But 254 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 6: that's purely financial. But like there's also a new development 255 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 6: bank that established in Shaghai that focused on the bricks 256 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 6: country development. So this time they have se O Bank developments. 257 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 6: So you can see, actually there's more financially economically interchanges 258 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 6: with this or the which is which is you know 259 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 6: reflect reality. 260 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 7: I mean bricks countries, SEO countries. 261 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 6: Are already growing economic strong bricks country GDP is very 262 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 6: larger than G seven now, so I think there is 263 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,479 Speaker 6: reflect that business. 264 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: Geopolitically speaking, though, how sustainable are such partnerships given of 265 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: course the China has issues with other countries, territorial issues 266 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: with Southeast Asian countries, to mention. Of course the China 267 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: India relationship also mare intense a little bit because of 268 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: the Pakistan relationship as well well. 269 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 6: I think this is going to improve you know, economic 270 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 6: comes first and then I see the key takeaway is 271 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 6: that also they build up kind of some some kind 272 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 6: of cordial and friendly atmosphere at the summit, particularly with India, 273 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 6: that both Moody and persons should announced that we're not rivraries, 274 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 6: you know, not that US and Europe take China as 275 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 6: a rivalry. You know, they are saying, you know, we're 276 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 6: not riving. So you know, all those countries are seeking 277 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 6: friendly corporation. So further that then you can see, you know, 278 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 6: they could improve relations. And there's quite a few Asian 279 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 6: countries and allows is added to the member or part 280 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 6: of the member of SEO as well. And this is 281 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 6: really a good way to gather cooperative spirit. Particularly this 282 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 6: time you see SCO is building it gradually built into 283 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 6: a big block of we can corporation. So it's it's 284 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 6: really interesting you have a I B, you have our CP, 285 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 6: you have UH you know SCO breaks. So those are 286 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 6: really great shift to more UH in addition to security, 287 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 6: more economy and business uh. You know, for example, the 288 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 6: trade amount of the s steel countries amounts to two 289 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 6: pound street billion dollars a year. 290 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 7: That's enormous. 291 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 6: So so I think that that's really interesting to see 292 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 6: this kind of a. 293 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 7: Proliferation or you know, striving of the uh uh. 294 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 6: You know economic boom or economic model that be emerging 295 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 6: against this.
