Communist back capitalism chinese g. D. P. As risen from 150000000000. 00 in 1978 to over 400 trillion the 2nd biggest economy in the world well lets talk to about that president china expert tell us firstly about the costs that this rapid and historic economic expansion has actually incurred while youve just mentioned some of the amazing benefits that its brought but obviously the biggest social transformation of all time in many ways is going to bring some costs in its wake i think weve seen in the environment theres been a lot of problems with the environment in china and the People Living in china are paying the cost through pollution its also created a lot of problems for other countries dealing with china because the chinese economic model is an unusual one in that its not based on a Democratic Political basis it comes from the torah tarion marxs. Model so thats created some kind of regional tensions and now as weve seen is created global tensions which of turned into this trade war between china and the United States and as the complaints about human rights tell us about this next great leap forward thats the chinese going for now and how great that will be well this is this technological leap forward in some ways the parallels are with the previous great leap forward which was a collectivize ation of agriculture which saw millions of people starved. Day its obviously very different china today so the comparisons maybe arent entirely they dont from charlie follow but what youre seeing is things like Artificial Intelligence mobile telecoms all of these areas where china is leading the field and its done through a combination of this push together that the Chinese Government has overseen and its created these these new grounds of which we all now have to operate and we have to see how this this technologically forward plays but its going to be a big challenge for the rest of the world really to do with i think and china is now moving ahead and really encroaching on the top spot that the u. S. Has as far as economies go well thats going to be very interesting want to see because weve had a lot you know whether china overtake the u. S. Some people are saying it might not do because the u. S. China trade war is making it the economy slow but certainly the trajectory in china that weve seen over the past 70 years has been offered president so far show that there are definite a good place for that to happen if it can and thank you very much for coming in well china is also trying to connect itself with the world through a one trillion dollar Infrastructure Project the belt road a new york correspondence course spoke about it with political scientists. It was the belt and wrote to mr to will that lead to china to become the superpower in the world well thats a really interesting question right and in my book that was just released i point out that the built in road is really a part off chinas 3 step strategy to become a superpower so the 1st step was to get rich right which they did the 2nd step was to make their coastline unapproachable so today its very risky for american aircraft carriers and conflict to get ridden a 1000 kilometers of china and so this is the 3rd step to become the most influential country in the world over the next 2 decades and to connect itself to all these other countries and i want to add that the strategy that china is following is not the one that america followed after the 2nd more wall which is to set a basis right to extend its influence china is much more business oriented countries so its a win when it comes to countries and says you get rich really get creative and it just is a very very exciting and new idea but is it really a win win for that question to historian steve. Sometimes people jokingly say that when the chinese talk of the win win it means they win the 1st and theyve been its a game now when youre talking about their role in the shape to then you were looking at different time frame in the short term before that almost in the Chinese Government give out to the c. P. Countries to finance those projects do you really ease clearly when when the chinese get the contracts they employ workers to generate income send them back to china receiving countries get infrastructures being built but when dozhd loans do then there is a question of false countries not being able to pay their debt and have to deal with the issue i dont Chinese Government have to bite off some of that or the Chinese Government will take over some of those projects and i think look so much like when we chinese firms have spent the past few years on a shopping spree in europe buying up all types of businesses saving some and ruffling feathers in failed attempts to take over others the latest case concerns a german airport in the black forest a solitary helicopter buzzes over the runway but theres not much else going on here at la reported in southwestern germany theres a boeing 747 used for test flights otherwise the skies are empty. But because the city of largo has contacts in china investors there learned about the former military airfield the mayor says it has a lot of potential. Point to yet if you look around the world there arent many people who are in a position to recognize these benefits and take action as well as provide the financing so sooner or later youre going to have to deal with china but the idea of the chinese taking over the airfield caused a stir in the city of 47000. 00 after all Flight Operations have been kept going at least on a small scale thanks to tunnel Boring Company heaven it likes things the way they are and it isnt alone in rejecting the new plan. Disneys new to if you lot doesnt need it the airports doing well it is a good solution with half and commissions and other companies on boat we can keep going the way we often now and take our time to see if there are opportunities for investments in this tool and get british and Australian Companies already had big plans. Be any better. Theyve been very bad experiences with chinese investors that smith had i think what i need to say is han frankfurt han airport is not a remote region of western germany quite far from frankfurt for years it was a financial burden on the 2 german states that jointly owned it in 2017 chinas h. And a group took it over the result. Of that we have almost doubled our growth in freight and thats something we can be satisfied with but theres not much we can do about macroeconomic developments and.

L. Airways and france of has also recently gone bankrupt so were seeing a lot and some of those are you know. Factors that these companies can control things like oil prices labor shortages currency fluctuations but at the same time a lot of these companies have sort of come into the market thinking that they could underprice their way into growth that they could just cut prices to the baseline and they would be able to grow really fast but all of these companies were doing that and what its really shown is that its really you know a market for bigger Companies Like ryan air or easyjet and those are really the companies that are able to survive in a market like this well tell you about Ryanair Chelsea lets just have a listen to how its c.

I think thats you have a little bit of a grim assessment but theres definitely truth to the fact that its you know a very difficult market for these traditional package travel companies we saw thomas cook go under just about a week ago one of the oldest travel companies in the world and theyre dealing not only with the same things that are pressuring Budget Airlines but theyre also sort of feeling the effects of this huge online growth and. Operators like Google Google flights and travelocity things like that so it definitely is a changing market and theres not a huge place for for a company like thomas cook there or travel operators in general so if you do any thank you very much a much anticipated hike in National Sales tax is taking effect in japan its risen from 8 to 10 percent i mean its the sins of a hobby its called the 1st big step as the country battles a weakening economy and thats an expected to bring short term pain for long term gain of lost in sales tax increases both brought on recession the government is forcing himself in the impact with tax breaks or car and butchers its.
