Those headlines news continues here on aljazeera right after inside story coming up next. Right after. China has laid out on bushs plan to grow its economic military and cultural followers it wants to see amount of its Global Presence further in the coming years but will this aggressive agenda put jean on a collision course with the u. S. This is inside story. Hello welcome to the program. Chinas Central Committee has announced its plans for the next 15 years senior communist officials have agreed to increase beijings Political Economic and military influence but despite facing a president of Global Health crisis and rising unemployment of also endorsed president xi jinping as the man who will steer china through the challenges ahead. Well lets take a closer look at beijings global influence in recent years its economy is the 2nd biggest in the world after the u. S. And its plans to dominate global trade further through its trillion dollar belt and Road Initiative china has also developed its militarist significantly making it the largest of any country this has a large bay jeanne to reassert its claims over the South China Sea practically unchallenged while expanding its presence in the region and elsewhere. And under chewed him pings leader to its budget for diplomacy has doubled and this by the recent crisis caused by the cove in 1000 pandemic she is confident china is in good place to project its global powers. Well most of the world is struggling to overcome the kerner Virus Outbreak china has signalled that the country is well on its way to full recovery and the governments actions in recent months have set the stage for chinese ambitions across the globe chinas Foreign Policy has taken an aggressive turn this year such as lashing out at australia for pushing an investigation into the origins of the covert 1000. 00 virus and chinas armed forces have bolstered territorial claims in the South China Sea theyve also stepped up patrols near japanese controlled islands thought indias troops in the himalayas and sent warplanes close to taiwans airspace this place quite well with a domestic audience which has been fed a very heavy patriotic strongest country in the world weve got the means to do it i mean this goes down very well but i think also overseas theres a sort of sense in the chinese leadership weve been soft too long now is the time for the Biggest Country in the world 2nd biggest economy weve got to start approaching according to our white. China also toughened its stance on the autonomous city of hong kong after the International Community expressed support for antigovernment and prodemocracy protests last year in july beijing made its most dramatic move yet to tighten its grip on hong kong by imposing a wide ranging National Security law it came under criticism from many countries including the us which in turn put sanctions on chinese officials but it was a clear message to the International Community to stay out of chinas Affairs Relations between washington and beijing are at their lowest in decades because of disputes in trade technology and human rights. After the communist partys ambitious goal setting foreign took place in beijing last week the u. S. Secretary of state went on a socalled anti china tour with high level meetings in asia including visit to vietnam indonesia japan india and sri lanka to where china has funded major Infrastructure Projects the u. S. Is trying to capitalize on whats seen as growing anti China Sentiment in the region and its not going unnoticed in beijing. We can tell without the risks and challenges are both from home and abroad from the global aspect unilateralism protectionism and antiglobalization on the rise unstable and im certain factors have increased a recognition that chinas socalled wolf warrior diplomacy where it acts forcefully abroad may have won support at home but has alienated many in the region if you go palin hong kong. Lets bring in our guests now in beijing and mark Senior Research fellow at the center for china and globalization in gutters burg maryland brazen Program Associate of the Wilson Center focusing on the u. S. China relations and their live search germany other many director of China Policy Center and australian based think tank welcome to you all and by laying out this new blueprint is china transforming or just trying to expand its economic power globally. Well i think its doing a little of lords so this latest well the coup lucian of this one and lays the groundwork trainers for teams 5 year plan and i think the key issues here are 1st of all that china recognizes this president s see this that china is facing changes unseen in a century so this involves both domestic issues as well as school issues and was plan is designed to address the threats emerging from both the spheres but also be opportunities as well so i would say that the principles have not changed meaning pursuing the ask fulfilling the aspirations of the Chinese People are pursuing the rejuvenating of the twentys nation and making a contribution to their kind are the Guiding Principles but of course like any effective strategy there has to be in all of them to adapt to do as well ra is china trying to say its about time to show the economy against and they put 10 so ramifications from what is happening but overlay with the u. S. Sanctions for example well i would say in addition to u. S. Sanctions coronavirus has been very challenging for the chinese economy it hit china precisely at a time when it was very vulnerable china expects the spring festival which was winner of this past year to be a. Big spender however china right now it has movie theaters back certain Recreational Activities are back but this is definitely a medium to longer term picture and so the meeting that the leadership is having right now is setting certain goals and a sort of price. Thing out the priority is that they want the chinese economy to work well Going Forward was ringing me to the next question to the other does it make sense from an Economic Perspective to have a plan right now with covert 19 when its almost impossible to predict growth rates in the coming years yes certainly think of it as ray had had pointed out has had a massive impact in china and in the International Environment and that is why i think the leadership has assessed that the International Environment for china has become increasingly complex thats a language increasingly complex aiming at being stable and and there are certain days i think clearly increasing for china so in that context china with this new Economic Strategy of what it terms to be to circulation is trying to focus on selfreliance to focus on securing the day ended industry industry and supply chains within china has to buffer these external shocks including colleville including a weak Global Economy but as well as of course a rising ravi between the United States with economic to coupling currently underway in various sectors and it says that thats been the logical innovation is of the very center of the new blueprint by by this innovation what is true what is china trying to achieve. What i think again starting from 1st principles and we need to be curable here not to os the hero wag the dog because of course the Global Environment is important to train with 1st and foremost years providing seed east it will be in prosperity with the tweens people so trying to courses that staggering will last. So we give you a quick. Example shown in john in the last 40 years increase its g. D. P. 10000. 00 times so just to use a personal wealth and say youre in the home was 10000. 00 that would mean it would have increased to 100000000. 00. By contrast the u. S. Economy only grew by 9 times during that same period so a successful as this economic model and strategy has been made china also recognizes as its economy sure but of course as it faces him we seeing provocations an animus that really is self destructive and selfdefeating. On the part of the United States that it also needs to adapt and how its attacking primarily is something through this new infrastructure plan which has 3 components so theres information infrastructure theres interbreed infrastructure and theres you know the nations infrastructure and this is been announced a couple of years ago mostly manifest that in there that made in china 2025 program and this gets to. The nub of your question which is the u. S. I think inherently in secure country because it knows that its system is fundamentally important flaw. Is chinas rising technological says superiority as an existential threat because through advances in technology the u. S. Will not be able to maintain its military superiority and its ability to threaten other countries around the world and without this yeah i think a lot of the bases from there jim in the end this is really whats driving the technological competition right when youre pathetic and illogical and of asia. One of the very heart of the modernization drive when you have in your own problems youre facing International Sanctions the americans are trying to ensure that vital km technological components are not going to be exported to the to Chinese Market isnt this something that could further slow any attempt to build a Robust Technological hop in china well thats a great question so when china puts technological innovation as a priority i think we also need to take note that at the heart of technological innovation as well as many many other aspects of chinese policy is xi jinping thought so if permeate policy it permeates various government documents permeates chinas ai plan and that type of reinforcing chinas Political Security is something that were seeing wary very very prominently in its diplomatic efforts when china is trying to claim a more leadership like role outside of. Its borders this is something that is a key key priority and this is something that i think has actually made a lot of its trading partners both in east asia in europe and beyond kind of wary for the outlook of china as a rising slash risen power this because you know not every single country stands the same as china on certain india logical values that it pushes so. This this becomes a sort of diplomatic puzzle that china itself has to navigate so in a way or another could this be mainly a reaction to the u. S. Sanctions they have imposed sanctions on the Chinese Companies such as weve have limits of the ability of Chinese Companies to raise capital in the u. S. Could this be a moment of reckoning for the Chinese Government that is about time to turn a chapter. Start a new one well i mean alluding to. Reza what about ideology and you know she. Pointed out that you know shifting sort is at the center of how china sees how the current political elite and the bureaucracy is it is currently seeing seeing the world and indeed i think the i did logical element is is something thats is something thats raising sidey around the wode. And and theres no you know theres no theres no easy solutions to disk of and she centralization of power and hes on state capitalism you know hes been a state capitalism which is very much about. Which is very much about enhancing the party states leave is all over all the economy but as well as ensuring that the economy has the environment including a stable political environment to florida so ideology. Elite politics as well as Economic Development issues in shes here they are intimated linked and i think i just want to go a little bit back to end these point about the dog the dog and the tail and it is often that we see china as international or in taishan is and behavior as something that it does externally when they largely in fact stem from if you look at the p. R. I for example who already made in china 2025 i mean days all have Important International ramifications but in fact they come from a tribe as internally so i think its time that we look very carefully at whats happening inside of china andy to jim paying to try to explain this whole notion about how to move forward through his own. Philosophy which is do or circulation who wants to now build a robot domestic ecosystem while at the same time boosting investment. To have more cash in the near future would that work do you think that that could be easy thing to do in the in the coming years. Well i definitely i think this dual circulation strategy is central to the future of china and certainly for the 4 to 5 year plan but id like to go back to a comment that were made about thought and the complete name exactly sieging thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era so this is definitely a mouthful and we wont have time to go into it as completely as i think would be helpful for our audience to do but i think its important to point out here that the unique characteristics of chinas is that the ability to interbreed ideology with strategy with policy with operational procedures on the ground and because of this uniques structure where there is a systematic comprehensive and into greedy approach to government this is why i would say that china is in fact the true shining city on a hill in terms of being a bit natural and humane and competent government in that it does deliver far better results for far more people than any political system in history so with that as the background for understanding to circulation. Circulation really is not about raising ashleigh i think its really been out past strengthening in making the domestic economy more efficient buying more tightly integrating manufacturing distribution and consumption and theres an enormous upside here who were looking at about 4cw4cw strong middle class in china which is significantly more of the population of the United States. And this is just the. Exactly and this incident but it also for former players as well you when you have 400000000 consumers there and the the logic is basically with that number you can easily boost your economy internally re the dual circulation is seen by chinese as the best way out but for many it could be an indication china is trying to turn into in the coming years. Just. In terms of how chinas economy functions it typically has had 8th push whole dynamic when the market economy seems to work fairly well you see a loosening of certain types of regulations when there are issues in such as the 2015 stock market crisis the government tends to try to step in and be more assertive and frankly understanding things government we are starting to see the party take more direct control as the economy runs into troubles and she deepening is certainly very unique in this regard in the amount of power has it been able to amass we dont talk about jintao or john fleming thought we dont talk about their ideologies being written permanently into the constitution so i would actually disagree with andy in that she jean ping is continuing something of a leadership tradition and he certainly made his mark very very distinctly. So if you move forward d particular for a nation like china that is the economic aspect of the story that is the military aspect and that is the political this is a nation determined to move forward to protect itself do you see china trying here with vision 2035 and the new 5 year planning to become more assertive from their political perspective the ticket when it comes to Foreign Policy yes certainly in recent years weve seen china becoming more bold and indeed in the view of some more aggressive in International Arena going to come says Foreign Policy i think as we move forward one thing to remember that china is. The chinese economy and china in general is in a is in place relative to some other countries roads have to do United States for example to europe which is an. Now under under new a lockdown measures across europe so so so china is. China is a good place in many ways especially economically. To minute its International Counterparts so i think as we move forward will see chinese power relative power continue to increase and that is something that the Central Committee. Assessment of the external environment has made clear and that is to shift doing relatively relative balances of power will continue so organically i think well see china continue to be increasingly more power for anything for ensure both 18 region and around the wote but i dont see i dont see the kind of what we called wolf werent in diplomacy to be to potentially be. To potentially continue in the sense that i think. I think i think the chinese leadership have learned various lessons of the last of the last 2 years or so about its its assertiveness and i think they might be attacked rethink on how it relates internationally and when you look at the last few years what weve seen is basically china bolstering its claims in the South China Sea clashed with india in the himalayas strained relations widget pants sent planes across the media line of the Taiwan Strait could this be. A manifestation of what what chinas trying to say you have to watch out when we are trying to reposition ourselves as a great superpower. I think one can certainly look at it that way and id like to address a point that weve made but if so and i do agree i would agree with 3 that what i am not saying that c. Is a continuation of past meter ship i think in fact i think seeding new life donald trump bar is a norm shattering in transformational leader i think the difference though is that most people would say that trump has been a transformational leader for the worse for us but see through the removal of term limits of consolidation of power bar a lot of these munitions including our more proactive Foreign Policy really are a reaction to previous readership teams where there was are a saying that instructions never got beyond the walls when on high you know which is the central leadership compound so it was not just sea bred think this system recognizes that greater Central Station far more far a direct approach where the party could serve greater need or showing through different sectors of society is very important so i think what were seeing there is part of this this recognition who we are in this ok there are ways of chinas leadership know how to china has under mao become rich under daro announce becoming a right. To have less than a minute ray this is choose him ping is the most powerful man in china same spot settled that the president had powers he has do you think could be conducive to a stable more prosperous china for the years to come while certainly he is aiming to have a more stable prosperous china for the chinese come. And s. Party because again everything when you look at chinas governments core beliefs Political Security is absolutely one of the most important factors to them and everything policing law enforcement. Jus dish the judiciary it really really circles around the party to try to protect that politically and when you start to look at that that a lot of the policy decision that china makes or tries to get through on the International Stage starts to make sense thank you thank you brazen and to mark and germany thank you very much for your insights and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website aljazeera dot com for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot Going Forward slash a.
