1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Bank of America Merrill Lynch seeing

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: what others have seen, but uncovering what others may not.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Global Research that helps you harness disruption voted top global

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: research from five years running. Meryll Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Smith Incorporated. But if I were to sit down with

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: the President elect, I'd say, you have two ways to

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: see China. You can see China through a fear of prism,

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: and you can you can articulate the U. S. China

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: relationship through fear to the American people, which I think

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: does it a disservice, Or you can articulated through a

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: prism of of opportunity, which I think there is a

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: lot of on both sides. Hello, and welcome back to

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Benchmark, a show about the global economy. I'm Scott

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: landman and economics editor with Bloomberg News in Washington, and

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm Danielmost, Executive editor for Global Economics at Bloomberg in

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: New York. So, Dan, we heard a lot about China

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: during the past year's election campaign. President elect Donald Trump

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time bashing China, talking about how

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: it's manipulated its currency, taking jobs away from Americans. He's

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: also pledged to pull out of a Pacific RIM trade accord,

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 1: which gives China an opening to do its own big

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: pan Asian trade deals. And while we're on transitions, China

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: is going through one of its own. The ruling Communist

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Party is gearing up to elect their words it's new

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: leadership team late next year. The speculation the President, Shi

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: jing Ping, who took office as party secretary in could

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: set himself up to lead the nation beyond tennees, which

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: would break with race and practice and hawken back to

29
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: the days of Chairman Mao. And in addition to a

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: political transition, the country is also going through a profound

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: economic transition. The China that Trump ranted and raved about

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: during the campaign sounds like the low cost, low end

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: sweatshop image stuck in the ninety nineties. But today it's

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: not really about T shirts in Guangdong Province. It's about

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: the Starbucks sprouting up all around the suburbs of Beijing

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: and Shanghai. We have a distinguished guest today who can

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: offer insight like few others on China's economy and politics.

38
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: John Huntsman served as US Ambassador to China in the

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: early years of the Obama administration and before that, elected

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: twice as Republican governor of Utah. He's now co chairman

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: with Joe Lieberman of No Labels, a group trying to

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: push a nonpartisan economic agenda. He's also chairman of the

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: Atlantic Council, I think tank in d C. And let's

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: not forget briefly ran for President. John. We really appreciate

45
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: you being here. Thank you Dan's guard. It's a pleasure

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: to be with you. John. I just described Trump's image

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: of China, one that probably looms large in the minds

48
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: of many Americans. You were there for two years as ambassador,

49
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: visited there many times. UH have deep connections there. How

50
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: much of that picture that Trump described as true? And

51
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: if you're briefing him on China, what would you tell him? Well,

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: I think you have to see China. Uh. First of all,

53
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: let's recognize where we are. We're in the political season.

54
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: We're ending one aspect of political season. We're about to

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: start the governing aspects of presidential politics. While at the

56
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: same time in China, you've also got a political dynamic

57
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: playing out in the run up to the nineteenth Party Congress,

58
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: which will take place about a year from now. Party

59
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: congresses they have every five years and have since the

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: death of Mantzedong in nineteen six. So the peculiarity here

61
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: is that you've got politics playing out in the United

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: States and we're about to begin a political season in China,

63
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: and they're almost running into each other in the form

64
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: of a head on collision, which means on both sides,

65
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: we're going to hear most more nativist talk, more nationalistic talk.

66
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about closing markets, not opening them.

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: We're going to hear more about saber rattling as opposed

68
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: to collaboration. I think this is to be expected, But

69
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: if I were to sit down with the President elect,

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I'd say, you have two ways to see China. You

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: can see China through a fear of prism and you

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: can you can articulate the U. S. China relationship through

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: fear to the American people, which I think does it

74
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: a disservice, Or you can articulated through a prism of

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: of opportunity, which I think there is a lot of

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: on both sides. But you have to carefully balance the

77
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: two to be sure. You have to recognize that we

78
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: have some irreconcilable differences. You can spend a lot of

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: time talking about them, but in the end there are

80
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: no easy solutions. But as we talk about those, don't

81
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: forget that we're we're wasting a lot of time by

82
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: not talking about areas of commonality and collaboration. Uh. And

83
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: they include economic opportunities both on trade and investment, on

84
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: intellectual property protection, on the advancement of technology, opening markets

85
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: where they are closed, helping China and make its transition

86
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: from the old investment led export model to more of

87
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: a consumption model, which is very good for US exports

88
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: longer term. And there are a lot of areas of

89
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: commonality on the security side, notwithstanding our friction in the

90
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: South China Sea in the East China Sea, let's not

91
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: forget we have a common cause as it relates to

92
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: counter terrorism. We both want to calm down the Middle East.

93
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that the supply and the

94
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: trade routes are are protected for purposes of prosperity, and

95
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: we want to be prepared for disaster relief. When disaster strikes,

96
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: how we can go to the aid of those affected countries.

97
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to be done on the on

98
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: the positive side of the ledger, but we have to

99
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: manage the downside friction as well, which is never an

100
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: easy thing. So is the politics driving the economics at

101
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: this moment or is the economics driving the politics? Well,

102
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: that's that's a very very good question. I would say

103
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: politics are driving much of the economy x because there

104
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: is evidence that economics are driving some of the fear

105
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: uh and anxiety that people feel here in the United States.

106
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: Uh So, I suspect we're going to see some early

107
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: clashes in the in the Trump administration. He has said

108
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: that he would cite China as a currency manipulator. So

109
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: let's just say that he does that on day one,

110
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: which he said he would do. That takes us to

111
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: January twenty or one. The Treasury Department, which manages these issues,

112
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: has a semi annual report to Congress on currency manipulating countries.

113
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: The next one up is in April. So if this

114
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: just plays out as as it might, you could have

115
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: China deemed a currency manipulator, which is in words only.

116
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: But I suspect there may be some appetite on Capitol Hill,

117
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: given that you've got a new balance of power on

118
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: the Republican side in Congress that might want to stand

119
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: behind Donald Trump because it does play well politically back home.

120
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: And there are reasons that China is not playing by

121
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: the playbook that everyone agreed to, at least under the

122
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: w t O as session documents back back in two

123
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: thousand one. UH. And if China were or if if

124
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the US Congress were to slap sanctions onto a currency

125
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: manipulation bill, you could have some early days that that

126
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: would include some some back and forth on the economic side,

127
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: because China with then retaliate, of course in kind, and

128
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: then you'd see a spiraling out of control of the

129
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: bilateral trade and economic relationship until some equilibrium was found

130
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: a little bit like the Tires case early on in

131
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. The great irony of this, though, is

132
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: if China is manipulating the currency now, it's to prevent

133
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: it from weakening. Why would Donald Trump want a week

134
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: you want, Well, this is where you've got to sit

135
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: down with the economists and you you have to you

136
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: have to get the real story. So are they purposefully

137
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: manipulating the running b or is it taken down as

138
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: a result of an economy that is performing poorly? UH?

139
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: And capital outflows are they you know, so they're protecting

140
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: their currency to the tune of maybe sixty to a

141
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars a month and have been for many months,

142
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: which has taken their their foreign exchange reserves from four

143
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: drillion maybe down to three point one where it sits today.

144
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: So I think these are emergency measures that the Chinese

145
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: are taken, just taking just to keep the currency afloat, uh,

146
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: not manipulating for purposes of cheap chief exports. So once

147
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the facts are on the table, uh, And that rarely

148
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: is the case when you're in the middle of a campaign,

149
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: But once you're president, you've got to take a look

150
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: at the facts and then and then based policy on

151
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: that you might have you might have a different outcome. Well,

152
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: you have a Democratic Senate leader, Chuck Schumer, who who

153
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: has been uh, you know, leading this issue for many

154
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: years to call China currency manipulator. He has a kindred spirit,

155
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: it seems now in President elect Trump. Is there anything

156
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean you say that maybe when they see the

157
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: facts on the ground, they might they might halt. Is

158
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: there anything to to really stop them now? Or do

159
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: you think you know, we're really on the verge of

160
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: of going down that route. I suspect there will be

161
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: a fulfillment of Trump's promise to cite them as a

162
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: currency manipulator. I think the question will then become, are

163
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: their punitive sanctions that back up those words from Congress? Uh?

164
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: And if there are, I think we're in for uh,

165
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, a wild ride economically in the first six months.

166
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: So this is an example of a president of fulfilling

167
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: their campaign promise, and I think the Chinese, on the

168
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: other side, are are fully prepared for that. The question

169
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: will be how do they then retaliate and does that

170
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: cause a counter retaliation and then a spiraling out of

171
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: control of the economic relationship, which UH makes it more

172
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: difficult to invest to trade. There's a loss in confidence

173
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: overall that we we wipe out a year or two

174
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: of productive economic engagement. I think the first few months

175
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: will really be telling well. And to be fair, Donald

176
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Trump was not the first presidential candidate to bash China

177
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: on the campaign trial Bill Clinton famously referred to the

178
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: butchers of Beijing. Yet if anything, the economic relationship with

179
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: China became far more intimate under his administration. How do

180
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: you see this shaking out in reality? Well, you can

181
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: go all the way back to Ronald Reagan. I remember

182
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: because I worked for him when he talked about moving

183
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: our ambassador out of Beijing. Remember we we we had

184
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: the fulfillment of the Shanghai community in nineteen seventy nine

185
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: under Jimmy Carter, our ambassador went from Taipei to Beijing.

186
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan talked about bringing him back to Taibei uh

187
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: and then made a famous trip. I was on that

188
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: trip with him as part of the staff in the

189
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: early nineteen eighties and spoke to a billion Chinese people

190
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: on live television and had warm discussions with Dung Hiao

191
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Ping and some of the other early leaders where they

192
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: talked about most favored nations, aid that they talked about

193
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: non proliferation. You never would have guessed that in the

194
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: heat of the nineteen eighty campaign, and the same U

195
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: site with Bill Clinton, and the list goes on and

196
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: on and on. So the governing aspects of the U. S.

197
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: China relationship are are a lot different than the campaign

198
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: aspects of the U. S. China relationship. So once in office,

199
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: you have to look at your stakes, your equities UH

200
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: and and how you can manage what clearly is the

201
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: most important relationship of the twenty century. Now, now you

202
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: might be a little biased on this question, but how

203
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: much does it matter who President elect picks as his

204
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: ambassador to China, And how important is the ambassador's role

205
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: in managing that relationship compared with say the president or

206
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State or the Treasury secretary. I think

207
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: the and I am a little bit biased having served

208
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: in that position, I think the ambassador in Beijing is

209
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: disproportionately important because the part of the role is to

210
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: explain the U S system to Chinese leaders, to party

211
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: leaders who oftentimes are very confused about how we do business. Uh.

212
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: And then on the flip side, it's too explain to

213
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: senior leaders in the US government how the Chinese side

214
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: works and how through it all we can actually come

215
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: up with with a strategy, bilateral strategy to get a

216
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: few things done. Because the stakes are so high on

217
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: both sides, and because both are members of the U

218
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: N Security Council, both are nuclear armed, We've got the

219
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: two largest economies on the face of the earth, growing

220
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: numbers of disputes. It's ever important to have an ambassador

221
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: who can carry messages back and forth. But in the end,

222
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: let's face it, it really will depend on how much

223
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: skin the president wants to put in the game. So

224
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: if you want to just sort of manage the downside

225
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: without any sense of building the upside capacity, you can

226
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: do that. You can sort of manage downside friction and

227
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: risks and all of that, but you lose the upside

228
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: potential of the relationship. We haven't had in quite some time.

229
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Uh And I would say Richard Nixon tried to do

230
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: this when he kicked off the relationship shortly after is

231
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: managing a true strategic dialogue which takes a little bit

232
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: of what the Chinese want and what the United States want.

233
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: But it's sort of countercultural for us because we're short

234
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: term thinkers, were more transactional. We negotiate in ways that

235
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: achieve a certain defined outcome. The Chinese, on the other hand,

236
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: want to think in terms of forty years. Uh. And

237
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to really strike a long term

238
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: strategic relationship that spell out our goals over a long

239
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: period of time. And I would advocate for any incoming

240
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: president of the United States to build a strategy visa

241
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: of Eachina that serves US interests, that brings on a

242
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: bilateral basis problem solvers together in State Department, Treasury, Commerce,

243
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: Defense Department in ways that do more than just talk

244
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: about the tactical, but are able to engage in more

245
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: of the strategic. Just going back to your time on

246
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: White House staff in the eighties again, does this sound

247
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: like the white people talked about the US Japan relationship

248
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: back in the eighties in the early nineties in terms

249
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: of economic mercantilism. Yes, because I was also in a

250
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: trade position in the eighties which brought me in contact

251
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: with Japan UH, and we had the structural impediments initiative,

252
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, we had all kinds of concerns about their

253
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: mercantilistic behavior and activity, only to find and tremendous levels

254
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: of investments coming in the United into the United States,

255
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: buying a lot of trophy UH investments that are well

256
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: known by by most of your listeners, H. And that

257
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: all came to an end, and the structural efficiencies were

258
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: never adequately addressed in Japanese policy making, and they still

259
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: exist today. I would say in the case of China,

260
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: it is a more resilient economy, it's mercantilistic today. One

261
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: of the big problems is You've got state owned enterprises

262
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty thousand of them that have not

263
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: been touched, that have gone beyond being reformed. Some of

264
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: them have been built up in recent years as a

265
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: matter of fact, and they are backwaters of of inefficiencies. UH.

266
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: Sweetheart contracts for princeling UH, princeling members of Chinese society.

267
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: They get discounted capital, they get cheaper raw materials, and

268
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: they basically engage in nationalistic business practices, and no one

269
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: has had the political will to take them on UH.

270
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: And I suspect that if if the third plan of

271
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: reforms that Chi Jinping talked about after the last Party Congress,

272
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: the eighteenth Party Congress, in if thet or if the

273
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: third plan of reforms which were talked about in the

274
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: end of twenty are to come to fruition which really

275
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: get to the heart and soul of cleaning up the system,

276
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: the state owned enterprises are going to have to be

277
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: dealt with realistically, brought down, bankrupted, a new debt market

278
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: established in order to accommodate some of the inefficiencies. If

279
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: if that isn't done, I think the Chinese economy is

280
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: in for long term serious problems. Japan never dealt with

281
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: those inefficiencies, and we're seeing what what what that is

282
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: brought about. I was there three years ago for those

283
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: the announcement of those Third Plenum reforms, and we're still

284
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: waiting for some of them to to be implemented. Let's

285
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: leave that thought there and take a quick break for

286
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: a word from our sponsor. Will be right back. Brought

287
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: to you by Bank of America. Meryll Lynch. Seeing what

288
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: others have seen, but uncovering what others may not. Global

289
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: research that helps you harness disruption voted top global research

290
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: from five years running. Mary Lynch, Pierce, Venner and Smith Incorporated.

291
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: And we're back John. Let's turn to China's so called elections,

292
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: that's the word they use. But at all levels the

293
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: candidates are picked by the Communist Party, so anyone who

294
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: votes doesn't actually have a choice of candidates. We don't

295
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: get to see the kinds of deals and machinations that

296
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: happened behind the scenes that they do to choose the

297
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: leaders all the way up to the top level. And

298
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: yet when you take a long view of it, this

299
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: authoritarian system has lifted hundreds of millions of people out

300
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: of poverty, kept the economy growing at a relatively rapid

301
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: pace and made China into a global power. They like

302
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: to criticize the way democracy works in the US and

303
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: other Western nations. Is there any merit in their viewpoint? Well,

304
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: I would also say they achieved that success through doing

305
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: it the old fashioned way and the and the easy way,

306
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: which is bad your currency, drawing on cheap labor, and

307
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: exporting products to the major markets of the world while

308
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: keeping your own domestic markets relatively locked up. Uh. And

309
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: now they're hitting the middle income trap, which is causing

310
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: a new reality for them. They have to transition into

311
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: a consumption model in order for their economy to prosper

312
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: longer term and for and for people to move more

313
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: into the middle income categories into the middle class. So

314
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: I see coming with that a lot of opportunities for

315
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: the United States. I see more more purchasing power on

316
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: the part of a consumer class. It will be hundreds

317
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: of millions strong, which is great for US exports. The

318
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: Chinese love to buy US products where they're available, and

319
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: I think increasingly will find more and more opportunity there.

320
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: And I think on the investment side, will see more

321
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: in the way of Chinese investment here in the United

322
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: States that will run more in parallel with US investment

323
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: in China. We're already seeing evidence of that, and the

324
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: political implications, of course, will be fairly profound domestically, as

325
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: Jen Ping pries to keep hold of a one party

326
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: system which doesn't want to be a one party system.

327
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that shift to consumption for a moment.

328
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: Do you feel that, uh, the shift away from exports

329
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: and fixed usset investment to service as a consumption. Do

330
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: you think that is broadly understood in the United States?

331
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: In otherwise it's not your grandfather's Chinese economy anymore. No, No,

332
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: it isn't, um, and I don't think it's it's largely understood.

333
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: I think we're we still see China through a prism

334
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: that has maybe dated by twenty years. We're not looking

335
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: at online purchases, which if you so, don't look at

336
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: inventories of steel and coal and aluminum, which are off

337
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: the charts high um that that's not a good leading

338
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: indicator of where China's economy is going. It's where it's been.

339
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: The leading indicators really are our online sales. Look at

340
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: travel and tourism, look at airline seats, being purchased. UH.

341
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: Look at outbound tourism. UH. Look at legal and architectural services,

342
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: look at education and healthcare services. There's a lot going

343
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. And what is exciting for me

344
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: is the United States does extremely well in many of

345
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: these service related areas. And once the markets are more

346
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: and more open, UH, and we're able to define the

347
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: China of the twenty century as opposed to the late

348
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: twentieth century, I think we'll have more in the way

349
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: of opportunities. So it would be ironic if we got

350
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: into a trade wall with China based on a part

351
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: of the Chinese economy that effectively is over. Anyway is

352
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: effective is effectively over. As a matter of fact, you know,

353
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: the bloom is off the rose from a manufacturing standpoint,

354
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: that the golden days are are gone. China's labor rates

355
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: are are are on the on the rise. You've got

356
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: more people leaving the workforce than entering the workforce. By

357
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: they could be deficit twenty million workers. UH. And who's

358
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: picking it up. We'll take a look south into Vietnam, India,

359
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: Bangladesh and beyond. Uh. So China is fundamentally entering a

360
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: new playing field. From an economic standpoint, and we do

361
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: ourselves a disservice by not identifying properly where they're going

362
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: and what therefore the opportunities are for US investors and traders.

363
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Why isn't that breaking through? Well, remember Dan that we're

364
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: still in a political season. And when you're in a

365
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: political season, you don't talk by way of opportunities, you

366
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: talk by way of fear. UH. And when you talk

367
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: by way of fear, you talk about deficits, You talk

368
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: about threats, you talk about foreign investment that is taking

369
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: away jobs. You talk about UH saber rattling on the

370
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: security side. So now that we're beyond that, it'll be

371
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: very interesting to see if President elect Trump is able

372
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: to take the U S. China relationship and sort it

373
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: out into something that represents less fear and more opportunity

374
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: for job creation here in the euided States, US export

375
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: potential UH IN and overall economic relationship that of course

376
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: is going to be UH riddled with challenges and problems,

377
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: but also there will be plenty of opportunities. Talking about

378
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: the current political situation in the United States and turning

379
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: away from China, we can we can't let you go

380
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: without asking a few questions about what's going on here

381
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: right now. And one of the major stories in the

382
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: news is whether Mr Trump will pick Romney, your fellow

383
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: former Utah governor, as UH Secretary of State. How do

384
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: you think Governor Romney would do as as a secretary

385
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: of State. Well, it's not even worth my speculating on

386
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: any potential candidates. I think President elect Trump has a

387
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: pretty good sense of where he wants to take the world.

388
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: I think it will be important to have people who

389
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: are of common mind as they see where he wants

390
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: to go. Clearly, were some international affairs foreign policy themes

391
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: that came through in the campaign, and they included, Uh,

392
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: the Middle East, We've been there too long, there's too

393
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: much of an overhang, something that's got to be addressed.

394
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: Trade was prominent, which is a big foreign policy issue, uh,

395
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: And that was we've got to get trade agreements that

396
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: are they're fair to American workers. And immigration was the

397
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: third big area that is a foreign policy issue. So

398
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I suspect that if these three areas are going to

399
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: be prominent in in the early days of a Trump administration,

400
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: he's got to have people around him who were fluent

401
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: and conversant in where he wants to take the United

402
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: States and what is uh? An increasingly disaggregated world. And

403
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: have you had a telephone call? I've had a telephone call.

404
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: And what was the purpose of that? Just just a

405
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: congratulatory call to Mr Trump. Yeah, we can't also let

406
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: you leave here without asking a question about your own

407
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: personnel plans. You're you're here with us in EC today,

408
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: but your roots are in Utah. You're a popular governor

409
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: there for some time. Uh. You're you've actually partially moved

410
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: back to Utah, kind of splitting your time. And I've

411
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: read that there there's a speculation that you're considering a

412
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: run for the U. S. Senate from Utah. In is

413
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: that true? Well, listen, we've Utah's home. I was. I

414
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: was born and raised in California. I was raised in Utah.

415
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: I've spent time overseas, living overseas four times. Utah's our home, uh,

416
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: and we feel pretty passionately about that. And we've we've

417
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: gone back and forth the last few years, UH, and

418
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to spending more and more of our

419
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: time there. I've always said that I've got one more

420
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: run left in our bones. And I don't know what

421
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: that will be. But I love this country. I've got

422
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: two sons serving in uniform. I have always believed that

423
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: our best days are ahead, and we're going to take

424
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: a good look at Uh. It may be a future

425
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: Senate run in the state of Utah. And would you

426
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: run as an independent or as a Republican? Well, I've

427
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: been a Republican my entire life. I've watched the Republican

428
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: Party go through different phases, trying to find trying to

429
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: find itself. But I'm of the Party of Lincoln. I'm

430
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: of the Party of Roosevelt, of Eisenhower, of Ronald Reagan.

431
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: I kind of know where our roots are. Uh. And

432
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: I think I know where the Republican Party's roots are.

433
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: And we've gone round and round trying to find them,

434
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: and I think we we might still travel some distance

435
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: before finding exactly what our traditional roots are. And one

436
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: more question, would you run if Senator Hatch decides to

437
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: stand for re election, would you run against him in

438
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: a primary? Well, we'd have to decide whether or not

439
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: we're actually going to to enter the race. Uh. And

440
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: that in part would be based on what Senator has

441
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: chooses to do. He's been a productive Senator for nearly

442
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: half a century. I'm somebody personally who believes in term limits.

443
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: I always have you get into your job, you get out,

444
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: hopefully leaving a little bit better for the next person

445
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: to take over. Um. But time will tell on that,

446
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: Governor Huntsman, thank you so much for joining us today.
