<v Speaker 1>Good morning, I'm.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>we're following today.

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>We begin with the high stakes meeting between Presidents Joe

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Biden and she Jinping. They met for more than four

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>hours on the sidelines of the APEX summit in San Francisco.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>President Biden called his discussions with China's leader some of

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the most productive he's ever had.

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 4>I've been meeting with President Sheeshu's both us for vice

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 4>president over ten years ago. Our meetings have always been

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 4>canda stradeforward. We haven't always agreed, but they've been straightforward,

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 4>and today build on the groundwork related over the past

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 4>several months of high level diplomacy between our teams, We've

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 4>made some important progress, I believe.

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And President Biden's words were echoed by President she.

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 5>China is ready to be a partner and friend of

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 5>the United States. The fundamental princippos that we follow in

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 5>handling China US relations are mutual respect, peaceful co existence,

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 5>and wing wing corporation.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>China's president spoke there through an interpreter, but after the gathering,

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>President Biden was asked whether he still considers China's leader

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a dictator.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 6>Look, he is.

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's a dictator in the sense that he

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 4>is a guy who runs the country. That is collin

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Cocu based on formagart totally different than ours.

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>And after President Biden's remark, China's Foreign ministry called the

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>statement extremely incorrect and irresponsible political manipulation.

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Well Nathan asked for the actual meeting, Both Biden and

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Shi jinping Is say they reached a number of agreements.

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Bloomberg's ed Baxter has that part of the story.

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 6>As well as fentanyl. High on President Biden's list is

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 6>opening communication between the country's militaries.

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 4>We're reassuming military to military contact direct contacts. As a

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 4>lot of you press know follow this that's been cut

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 4>off and it's been worse, and that's how accidents happened.

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 6>Biden also saying the two agreed on finding ways to

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 6>control ai Biden also says he was assured that China

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 6>has no plan to invade Taiwan. Now. She did say

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 6>that he told Biden that the US should not have

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 6>plans to suppress China and also ask for sanctions to

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 6>be removed. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 7>And thank you.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Some of Wall Street's elite attended dinner with Si Jinping.

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Black Rocks Larry Fink and Stephen Schwartzman of Blackstone were

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>among the top executives seated at the Chinese leader's table,

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>according to a program seen by Bloomberg News. Other big

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>names and attendance were Apple's Tim Cook, Bridgewater associates Ray Dalio,

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and Pesla says Elon Musk also met with President she yesterday.

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Well Nathan some major developments out of Washington to avoid

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>a government shut down. In a late night vote, the

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Senate overwhelmingly approved the House's short term spending bill. Bloomberg's

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Amy Morris reports from Washington.

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 8>President Biden is expected to sign the bill that will

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 8>extend government funding at current levels through two deadlines, one

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 8>in mid January, the other in early February, but the

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 8>bill did not include aid for Israel nor Ukraine. Senate

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 8>Majority leader Chuck Schumer says that will be lawmaker's next

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 8>priority after the holiday break.

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 9>Both sides genuinely care about approving aid to Israel and

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 9>Ukraine and helping innocent civilians in Gaza, so I hope

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 9>we can come to an agreement even if neither side

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 9>gets everything they insist on.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 8>And now the risk of partial government shutdown moves to

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 8>January as House Speaker Johnson faces criticism from within his

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 8>own party because he did not include deep spending cuts

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 8>or changes to immigration policies. In Washington, Amy Morris Bloomberg.

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Radio, Thank you. We now turned to the latest developments

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>in the war in the Middle East. The Israeli military

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>says it found a Hamas command center, weapons and technological

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>assets at the Alshifa Hospital in Gaza City. Middle Eastern countries,

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>including Jordan and Turkey, have condemned the raid. Israeli Prime

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking through an interpreter says he makes

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>no apologies for sending troops in.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 3>But we were told that we would not reach the

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 3>outskirts of Gaza city. We arrived. We were told that

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 3>we won't end to Shifa, but we entered, and in

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 3>this spirit we say simple thing. There is no place

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 3>in Gaza that we will not reach.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Natanya, whose comments come as The Washington Post

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>reports discussions are underway on a potential deal that would

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>see Hamas free fifty women and children hostages in exchange

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>for an extended pose and fighting, and the release of

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>some Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, Nathan, we turned to the markets now, and shares

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>of Cisco plunging, the drop coming after it gave a

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>disappointing forecast. We get more from Bloomberg's Doug Prisner.

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 7>CEO Chuck Robbins, who's trying to rea doue Cisco's dependency

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 7>on one time sales of equipment by pushing deeper into

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 7>software and services such as security. But the transition isn't

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 7>complete enough to cushion Cisco from smaller corporate budgets, and

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 7>the company is now projecting the weak environment. Will Linger

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 7>because customers are taking a break from new orders to

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 7>installed gear they've already received. In New York, I'm Doug Prisner,

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 7>Bloomberg Radio.

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 3>All right, Doug.

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Thanks, and Cisco's shares are down nearly eleven percent in

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the pre market. Earnings continue this morning, with the nation's

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>biggest retailer reporting. Get a preview of that from Bloomberg's

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Tom Busby.

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 10>Walmart's expected to report that sales growth slow to four

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 10>percent last quarter. That's less than half the pace from

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 10>just a year ago as consumers pulled back on their

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.119
<v Speaker 10>discretionary spending, but sales of food and healthcare products should

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 10>be resilient and outpaced demand for that general merchandise adjusted

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 10>ernis per share estimated to be a dollar fifty two

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 10>total revenue of one hundred and fifty nine point one

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 10>three billion dollars. Tom Buzby, Bloomberg Radio.

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, Tom, Thanks. Well. In Europe, shares a Berber

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 2>down almost nine percent. The UK luxury retailer is warning

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>this year's revenue target maybe out of reach after sales

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>barely grew in the most recent quarter.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And Karen, we have a big deal for chocolate lovers

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>this morning. US Candy company Mars, has agreed to buy

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the UK's Hotel Chacalott Group for more than six hundred

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and sixty million dollars. That price tag represents one hundred

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and seventy percent premium to Hotel Chachalot's closing price yesterday.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, Nathan, thanks, it's time now for a look

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>at some of the other stories making news around the world.

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>For that, we're joined by.

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, Good morning, Good.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Morning, Karen.

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 11>US.

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 8>Capitol police officers say one person was arrested following protests

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 8>outside Democratic National Convention headquarters in Washington, DC as part

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 8>of a pro Palestinian rally. Protesters got into a shoving

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 8>match with Capitol police officers that arrest being made for assault.

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 8>Six Capital officers also suffered minor injuries. Pepper spray was

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 8>used on protesters and DNC members were evacuated. Billionaire Elon

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 8>Musk endorsed an anti Semitic post on x the social

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 8>media site that he owns, that attacked members of the

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 8>Jewish community for pushing dialectical hatred against white people. Musk

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 8>said in his reply to the post, quote you have

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 8>said the actual truth. Musk has repeatedly been criticized for

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 8>promoting content attacking Jewish people at a time of rising

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 8>anti semitism. After a year of strikes in Hollywood and

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 8>the auto industry, now it's Starbucks turn. The union representing

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 11>I really wish that I could be in there serving

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 11>you coffee. I do, but with the drastic understaffing and

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 11>the toll that that takes on our barista's Unfortunately, we

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 11>have to push for better and we aren't getting that

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 11>from Starbucks right now.

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 8>Starbucks Workers United represents nine thousand employees at three hundred

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 12>million passengers. John Bush is Federal Security Director for the TSA.

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 13>The best tip we can offer is to ask everyone

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 13>to arrive early for your flights. The recommendation is always

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 13>two hours before domestic flight three hours before an international flight,

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 13>and that's going to be even more important this coming

<v Speaker 2>Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's John stash Hour.

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 14>John Daren should be a good Thursday night game to

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 14>kick off Week eleven in the NFL. It's an AFC

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 14>North battle between the Bengals and Ravens in Baltimore. Both

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 14>teams at four game winning streaks come to an end

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 14>this past Sunday, losing right at the end of their game.

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 14>Cincinnati beaten by Houston, and the Ravens blew a two

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 14>touchdown lead and lost to Cleveland. The Baltimore quarterback is

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 14>Lamar Jackson.

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 15>Every game is a musk win for us, you know,

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 15>not just cousin is in a division game, but we

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 15>we definitely, I believe our team is definitely a lot

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 15>hungrier just for more happened Sunday in a division loss

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 15>in the closed game. We definitely hungry as well.

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 14>So the Clinton Browns had that big win in Baltimore,

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.959
<v Speaker 14>led by their quarterback Deshaun Watson. He was fourteen to

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 14>fourteen of the second half. He battled an ankle injury,

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 14>and yesterday it was learned that his season is over

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 14>because of a fractured shoulder. He needs surgery. He's had

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 14>shoulder problems before. Justin Fields has been out three games

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 14>with the thumb injury in Chicago. He's expected to return

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 14>on Sunday NBA in Philadelphia, Battle in the East and

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 14>the Celtics beat the Sixers one seventeen to one oh seven.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 14>Facing Tatum led the way twenty nine points, eight rebound,

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 14>six assists. The Celtics are nine and two. The Sixers

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 14>were eight and one. They've now lost their last two.

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 14>Milwaukee beat Toronto for the new Buck Damian Lillard thirty

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 14>seven points thirteen assists. The Wizard struggles continue a home

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 14>loss to Dallas one thirty to one seventeen. The MAVs

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 14>are nine and three. The Wizards are two and none.

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 14>The Knicks but one by two in Atlanta. John stash

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 14>That were Bloomberg Sports.

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 16>From coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco,

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 1>This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We've

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>made some important progress. We heard those words from President

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Biden after his first meeting in more than a year

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 1>with the leader of the People's Republic of China, Shi Jinping.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>President says two leaders are restoring military to military communications

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and they plan to keep talking at the highest levels in.

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 4>The United States, will continue to compete vigorously at the PRC,

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 4>but will manage that competition responsibly so doesn't veer into

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 4>conflict for accidental conflict.

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>That was President Biden after his more than four hours

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>sit down with China's leader on the sidelines of the

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 1>APEX summit in San Francisco, and joining us with more

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>from Singapore is Berg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank. Derek,

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it's good to have you back with us this morning.

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Going into these talks, the White House said just talking

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>would be a deliverable. What kind of deliverables can we

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 1>say We're gleaned from this gathering between Presidents s Biden

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and shape Well.

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 17>Nathan, they certainly talked.

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 16>Yeah.

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:24.199
<v Speaker 17>It's funny because in that relationship here, we've seen ebbs

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 17>and flows between real, real static, real problems, and and

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 17>times when it has seemed maybe a little bit sunnier,

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 17>maybe a little bit more placid. I borrow an observation

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 17>that Singapore's Foreign minister made last week at the Bloomberg

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 17>New Economy Forum here in Singapore, which was that you

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 17>shouldn't on US China relations confuse weather with climate. Things

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 17>might look a little bit more peaceful right now, certainly

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 17>in the face of this meeting that seemed to go

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 17>mostly okay, But the for all climate of the US

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 17>China relationship is still one with a lot of tension points.

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 17>There were not major fundamental issues resolved here. This is

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 17>not like we have a giant breakthrough on Taiwan, for example.

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 17>So so whether a little bit nicer climate overall still

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 17>very much progressing in the in the in the ways

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 17>that it was.

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Sticking with the weather analogy, I guess maybe one dark

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>cloud in that otherwise sunny gathering could be that question

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that the President received from a reporter when asked whether

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 1>he still considers China's leader a dictator, and he basically said.

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 17>Yes, he did, he said, he said emphatically yes. And

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 17>and look, this is one of those things where China

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 17>does take offense to this. You know, they don't like

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 17>the term, they don't like it being used about them.

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 17>But at the same point, the thing I think that

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 17>bears watching is whether or not China blow it up

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 17>into a whole big thing and says, right, well, this

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 17>is some offense and we want to change the tenor

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 17>of our leader to leader engagement or the relationship more broadly,

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:15.439
<v Speaker 17>it doesn't initially seem like that is happening. Remember Joe

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 17>Biden said this before, and we're still on a path

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 17>where they've gone to me, she went to the United States.

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 17>That's actually something that's a big symbol for this meeting.

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 17>So I'm not sure that that's necessarily going to derail

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 17>everything here. Where I think it's much more likely if

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 17>you were looking for risk problems is to look in

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 17>the South China Sea, specifically off the coast of the Philippines,

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 17>and some of the territorial disputes that are there, some

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 17>of the trade disputes that are there. Those are places

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 17>that I think are potential fracture points. But look, if

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 17>you're sitting there saying are things a little bit better

0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 17>in the relationship between China and the US than they

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 17>were this time yesterday, the answer is yes, they are

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 17>a little bit better. You're going to see maybe some

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 17>small tangible things including possibly, let me say, you might

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 17>see some pandace come back to the US.

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>We did hear that mentioned right by the leader of China.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to those small steps in our

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>last minute here, Derek, what are some of the broader

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>issues that could still lead to some of these overarching

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>tensions that we do continue to see between the US

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and China.

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 17>Well, I think, you know, on the good side, you've

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 17>seen that the US and China are trying to do

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 17>a little bit more on reducing fentanyl. On the good side,

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 17>you are seeing Biden said they're agreeing to talk a

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 17>little bit more military to military, and Biden said that

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 17>they had an open line between the two of them.

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 17>If one calls the other, they'll pick up the phone.

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 17>But I do think on that broad thing, that the

0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 17>broad issue of trade, the broad issue of of China's

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 17>state craft and military ambitions, those are real fracture points,

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 17>and those are as I say, structural climactic fracture points,

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 17>and that's going to be something that these two countries

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 17>are going to have to very carefully manage going forward

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 17>to make sure that they don't actually escalate.
