Good morning, I'm de Prisoner and I'm 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: Brian Curtiz. Here are the stories we're following today. Well, 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: let's get to the FED officials reinforcing their hawkish stance. 19 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta FED President Raphael Bostick said that interest rates would 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: need to rise between five and five and a quarter 21 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: percent to that level, and he thinks that rates would 22 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: need to remain there until well into twenty twenty four 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: to curb inflation. In the meantime, Minneapolis FED chief Neil 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: Kashkari said that he's concerned that the FED rate hikes 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: aren't slowing down the services sector, and he has yet 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: to decide what the size of the fed's next rate 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: hike should be. I'm open minded at this point about 28 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: whether it's twenty five or fifty. Basis points to me 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: much what's much more important than whether it's twenty five 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: or fifty is what we signal in what's called the 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: dot plot. Minutes from the fed's last meeting show that 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: a few participants favored or could have supported a half 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: a point rate hike. Fed officials will next meet to 34 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: discuss monetary policy on March twenty first. Well, we mentioned 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: a moment ago that China's economy is showing very strong 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: signs of an impressive rebound. The official PMI for the 37 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: manufacturing side posted its biggest improvement in more than a 38 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: decade in the month of February, question becomes, what are 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: the implications. Well, Morgan Stanteley's Mike Wilson says, this is 40 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: a China story. It is not a global growth story. 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: So yes, it's very good for China equities and maybe 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: some Asian economies that can looking gear off of that, 43 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: but not so much as the US stock market, which 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: isn't that gear to China growth. That is Mike Wilson 45 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: there he sees pretty strong headwinds for the American equity 46 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: market and they may increase further in the month of March, 47 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Wilson saying that stocks will come under pressure from faltering 48 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: earnings and high valuations. TikTok says you will automatically impose 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: a sixty minute time limit for users under the age 50 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: of eighteen that story from Bloomberg's Von Mann. Younger users 51 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: will need to enter a password if they want to 52 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: continue watching after hitting the one hour limit. Parents and 53 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: other adults will be able to monitor the amount of 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: time teens spend on the app. Why the new move well, 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: TikTok has been facing intense global scrutiny for two main reasons. One, 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: does a company present a US national security risk? And two, 57 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: how our younger users being influenced by the app's addictive 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: nature and the content they consume. The sixty minute time 59 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: limit is TikTok's latest approach to address concerns about the 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: app's impact on teens. And on the other point, a 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: group of US state Attorneys general are investigating the potential 62 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: harm the app might pose for younger users in Hong Kong. 63 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: I'm Ivan Mahn Bloomberg, Daybreak Asia. The semiconductor unit of 64 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: SoftBank this is ARM Limited, has decided not to sell 65 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: on the London Stock Exchange at least for now. We 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: have more from Bloomberg, David and Glass. We are told 67 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: that ARM will instead focus on a soul listing in 68 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: New York later this year. SoftBank founder Masayoshi San has 69 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: repeatedly said that this is his primary focus. He maintains 70 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: that the US has a deep investor base and attractive valuations. Now. 71 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had been courting ARM and 72 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: it's backer for a London listing. For the time being, 73 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: ARM will keep its headquarters in Cambridge, England, and it 74 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: hasn't ruled out the potential for a secondary listing in London. 75 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: But our sources say it's unlikely. In Hong Kong, I'm 76 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: David Inglis Bloombrick Debrick Asia, and back in the United States, 77 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco based Salesforce delivered a surprisingly upbeat forecast for 78 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: the coming year. The company also plans to step up 79 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: stock buybacks. Let's get the story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. 80 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: It potentially eases the pressure it faces from a number 81 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: of activist investors. The software giants said operating margin will 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: be about twenty seven percent in fiscal twenty twenty four, 83 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: which runs through next January. This succeeds an average channel 84 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: assestimate of twenty two point four percent, according to data 85 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: compole by Bloomberg. Salesforce also said it increased a share 86 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: repurchase program to twenty billion dollars. The outlook suggests that 87 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: profitability is now a top priority for the cloud applications pioneer, 88 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: which spent years more focused on growth in New York. 89 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg, Daybreak Asia, Charlie, Thank you. Salesforce up 90 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: fifteen percent in late trading, and that's even after the 91 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: stock gained two point three percent in the regular session. 92 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: So Doug we're seeing here that investors are really looking 93 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: at an individual stories. You can't really buy the index now, 94 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: you can't really buy the fangs. And if you look 95 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: at the index levels, we've been chopping around between thirty 96 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty two hundred for ten months now, 97 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: so it's not like we're making any dramatic big changes here. 98 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: It's been almost sideways movement. And I wanted to add 99 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: that the market is now out in front of the 100 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: FED on where the terminal rate should be, so we 101 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: can't really talk about complacency. The swamps market has the 102 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: terminal rate around five point five percent. Cashkari was at 103 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: five point four percent and Boss to get between five 104 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: and five and a quarter percent. And it's the data 105 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: that matters the most absolutely. And if you're talking about surprises, Brian, 106 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: I think we have to focus on what China delivered overnight. 107 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: That PMI number faster, much faster than top officials in 108 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: Beijing had expected. A lot of that may be just 109 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: a quick rebound after the holiday, and it may not 110 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: stick and too. Mike Wilson's point, we know he's sort 111 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: of talking his book because he's Barish, but then they 112 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: should talk their book. This is what they maintain and 113 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: they should reinforce it. Yeah, and against that backdrop, I 114 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: think we have to include a weak outlook for global growth, right, 115 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: given the fact that interest rates are rising. There is 116 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: also a question around demand for Chinese exports. Maybe they 117 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: will remain weak through the remainder of the year because 118 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: of expected softness in the US and in Europe. And 119 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: I think we have to include as a part of 120 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the story the tension over technology and geopolitical risk, especially 121 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: between the US and China. Yeah, certainly a lot of 122 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: risks out there, and this PMI story does not tell 123 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: the whole story. All Right, it's time now for global news. 124 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: The US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln says he will 125 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: not meet with his Chinese or Russian counterparts at the 126 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: G twenty. Head Baxter has Global News from the nine 127 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: sixty News from at San Francisco head. Yeah, that's right, Brian, 128 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: And his statement is very terse quote no plans to 129 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: see either at the G twenty. Now, this on his 130 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: last stop in Central Asia trip, pledging lasting support to 131 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: Central Asia. We've been committed and remained committed to standing 132 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: for the sovereignty. The churchwill in chegrity, the independence not 133 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: only of Ukraine, but for countries across Central Asia and 134 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: indeed around the world. And now Blincoln did Addie may 135 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: participate in group sessions alongside those diplomats, but no meetings. Meanwhile, 136 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: Chinese President Shi Jimping is welcome. Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko 137 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: a close Russian ally. These talks are being watched very 138 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: close that you see if there's an expansion of China 139 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: Russia Belarus's coordination. Luke Schenko told she that Belarus quote 140 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: fully supports the initiative you put forward, referring to the 141 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: so called peace plan put forward by China. She responding 142 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: the globe must stick to political means and abandon the 143 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: Cold War mindset. NATO Secretary General Yan Stolenberg says a 144 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: plan for Ukraine is to join NATO long term. Hey, 145 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: Donalds have agreed that Ukraine a member of our alliance, 146 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: but at the same time that is a long term perspective. 147 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: Stoltenberg says. The interim the alliance needs to make sure 148 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: that Ukraine has all the things it needs to defend 149 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: itself from Russia's aggression. US President Joe Biden is officially 150 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: nominated Deputy Labor Secretary Julie Sue to lead the department, 151 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: and she has accepted. She's increased the minimum wage, cracked 152 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: down our wage, death protected protected traffic workers, establishing a 153 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: force workplace safety standard. We have never had a president 154 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: who has made workers, worker well being, and worker power 155 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: so central to his vision of a strong nation and 156 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: a strong economy. Sue replaces Marty Walsh who's leaving to 157 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: head the NHL players Union, so something that Sue will 158 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: be looking at in the course of course. As a 159 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: manufacturer reports that money is being invested in the chip 160 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: sector now the US at a growing rate. A Representative 161 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: Hailey Stevens, a Democrat from Michigan, has been a big 162 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: supporter and organizer of the effort, and on Bloomberg's Balance 163 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: of Power, she says, the private sector is definitely jumping 164 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: in now. Last night on the Select Committee for China Competitiveness, 165 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: that that investment in chips manufacturing now of that legislation, 166 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: David fifty billion dollars has already beget two hundred billion 167 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: dollars in private sector investment. So he's just really exciting. 168 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: Folks are lining up, Moneys are coming in. Steven says, 169 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: really helping US auto manufacturers and realizing stability for investors. 170 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: Global News powered by more than twenty seven hundred journalists 171 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: and listen over one hund your twenty countries in San Francisco. 172 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm at Baxter and this is Bloomberg. This is Bloomberg 173 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: Daybreak Asia. I'm Brian Curtis with Rashad's Salamat, and our 174 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: guest is Shall Lynchen, head of international at Crane, shares 175 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: with us here live on the program. So Chen, Shall Len, 176 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm curious whether you think the market, the FED, and 177 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: the data are all more or less on the same page, 178 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: and if not, who's got it right? Good morning, Brian. 179 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: I think the data is telling the story, is reassuring 180 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: what is happening. Underlying companies, underlying sectors, and lying industries 181 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: are recovering, which is a great news to see. The 182 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: policies introduced sas far by the Chinese policymakers in China 183 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: domestically is working. The strong rebond from the PMI data 184 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: yesterday is confirming that stags that China not only back 185 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: on track the new orders, the new expos orders, manufacturing, 186 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: service sector, construction sector, you name it, almost all the 187 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: data are now showing at the expansionary territory. So it's 188 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: very pleased to see data is reflecting the current status 189 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: of China is now starting to recovery. Very good news 190 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: to see that shows very positively. But if it still 191 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: see it's still seasonal in nature. Is we usually take 192 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: January in February and we kind of not exactly what 193 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: the grain is salt, but you have to factor that 194 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: in January. Certainly this year that's a new year, that's 195 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: a Chinese new year. In January data February less seasonal. 196 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: But it's the good sign to me from all these 197 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: data is the return of the labor force, the return 198 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: of the small enterprise picking up in their services, in 199 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: their manufacturing activity. Those are the key drivers for Chinese 200 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: economy to continue to grow from here. Is okay from 201 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: a market perspective, though, you know, it was that data 202 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: enough to and you know other data which is positive 203 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: enough to give the markets Chinese docs the momentum to 204 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: go on upward to rejectory. Though the momentum was from 205 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: the October relaxation of the COVID and SASSAFA all the 206 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: subsequent simplified measure completely removed. That is a sentiment relief, 207 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: that is sentiment ready de catalyst for that and that's 208 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: why you see the companies get oversold, like platform company 209 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: in China namely Internet get rebounded almost ninety seven percent 210 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: to the peak of last few weeks before, and you 211 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: see a bit of a recent pullback. People are waiting 212 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: for more fundamentally, whereas the economy is at I think 213 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: the pm I obviously is not you know, reflecting the 214 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: down path, but it's giving you a good indication now 215 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: it's a reassured the investors the underlying economy is rebounding. 216 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: That is the good sign. It's almost served as a 217 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: blink as a bridge to almost lead you to more 218 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: reassured the growing evidence of the economy is doing well 219 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: down the past. So would would retail sales then be 220 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: the next really important data check or data point because 221 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: we're curious about consumption, You absolutely right. Consumption and policy 222 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: are the two key things we're going to watch very carefully. 223 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: You've got to have you got to have to have 224 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: a supporting policies to help the consumption, to help the 225 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: people living in city, to help the private firms and satisfied. 226 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: You've got to see the retail the sales and in 227 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: all aspects to see consumption, to recover labor force, to 228 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: recover even more from young people, and what it would 229 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: be the policy to support the corporate I would expect 230 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: more signal or more direction to be set NPC in 231 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: this weekend that's going to kick off, particularly tax cuts 232 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: from all aspects.

Policy, 242 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: free to goal spending is absolutely the key. China needs 243 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: to stand up and they will stand up more. Is 244 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: it an over characterization that the hijin pain will put 245 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: more party functionaries in to run these businesses and the 246 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: that is a potential negative?
