And china have their phrase one trade deal but this is just the beginning of was a long negotiation process theres a lot to break down here and were excited to have Richard Wolffe host of economic update on here to help us cut through the smoke and dig through the details. And while we have seen a breakthrough on the trade front the tension is still present in the tech sector and the race but we take a look at the latest battleground in the telecom fight taking place in the United Kingdom so much to get to and so little time lets go. Despite this touted as a quote a landmark signing of phase one between president and vice premier a little the markets are still on enthused phase one has pretty much been priced into the market already so if anything additional detail starts to take the steam out of the rally and it came of the surprise that existing u. S. Tariffs on chinese goods will stay in place even after the deal is signed bloomberg reports that the 2 sides have an understanding that no sooner than 10 months but u. S. Will review the progress and potentially additional terrorist affected 360000000000. 00 worth of chinese imports this period of review is meant to give the trump an ministration time to verify that the pact has been honored secretary student has said that these terrorists will stay in place until there is a phase 2 if the president gets. Phase 2 quickly hell consider releasing terrorists as part of phase 2. Interesting tactic moving the goalpost now when we had all expected some sort of tariff rollback in exchange for these massive ag purchases i mean isnt that the very point of quid pro quo in fair to go she asian something in exchange for Something Else analysts have contended that this is a new level of protectionism that would have been unthinkable before president tom took office and while trump wants phase 2 negotiations which is expected to tackle the big hard issues that touch on sovereignty to begin immediately thats going to be difficult because the peoples daily reports that these 2 trade talks may not start anytime soon now kicking the can down the road is a tradition in politics and china can also play this game to phase one was to get a truce and a cease fire to prevent further escalations from disturbing the markets and phase 2 well well say this friction between china and the u. S. Is already starting to feel like the new normal in the market it is likely that trade arguments and terror threats and the u. S. Investment restrictions will continue throughout 2020 the official text will be released later on to review but there is a nonpublic component of the agreement which is a confidential annex with detailed purchase amounts devils always in the detail as we wait for the documents to be released kristie i mean this is fascinating it seems like its a big win for the Trump Administration but what does china really getting out of actually signing this deal today here in washington exact us ive got a clue what i was getting with the quid pro quo why is china actually getting china is making these huge ad commitments 200000000000 dollars worth in the following 2 years and what is it getting not in return not getting spanked by more terrorist by the u. S. To avoid more punishment by the u. S. How is that exactly fair is not really getting any additional reward in return then why do they sign the deal to do that in order to have a cease fire in order to avoid. Again slap by marc has which would have been in place in december and to further prevent more escalation and thereby volatility in the market and this also gives china a little bit of a breather and time to focus on their domestic market theyre now looking ahead its taken more than a year and a half to hammer out the details of phase one which you say already been beneficial really to china at this point so what about phase 2 are we really going to see progress on this i mean the china peoples daily they say we wont see this for a while exactly and weve been saying on the shelf for some time along with many of our guests that phase 2 is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon because if phase one took a year to have phase 2 which will probably be broken out into a mini phase 22. 00 mini phase 2. 00 except thats not all be broken out and who knows how long ill take year and a half 2 years but were going to definitely see on this so lets bring in professor Richard Wolfe economics to add a little bit of his insight here because hes one of those guys that christy was just talking about a professor i want to follow up on that same note that we just talked about there where do you see things when it comes to actually doing phase 2. Well between you and me and the lamppost i dont see much happening i dont see much has happened here either i think this is 95 percent see after its partly for the trumpet administration because they initiated all of this but partly as you correctly say for the chinese also to look as though d theyre cooperating theyre not interested in being a problem a position by the way which they have successfully promoted around the world where this is entirely seen as an American Initiative an american commitment to protectionism not at all blaming china and that by the way in the long run is a very very important gain for china it has taken over from the United States the position of being the reasonable global World Economic power that isnt slapping anybody with tower of at least not as an initial. Behavior its only doing it if it is subjected to tariffs the United States you stop your pie the role of the dominant benevolent global World Economic power mr trump whether you like him or not has lost that position for the United States and given the china 2 other quick things one yesterday the United States said they no longer consider china to be a currency manipulator my guess is that was on the table too because theyd the chinese dont want that kind of designation because it interferes in International Monetary dealings and finally giving 10 months for a decision about continuing maybe 2 years for the purchases by the chinese that are being talked about thats more than enough time for china to do and to play and to do many things that can undo the effect of tariffs let me remind you a tariff is a tax if you put a tax on chinese goods it makes them more expensive but if the chinese figure out ways to cheapen their goods well then they become competitive again even with our earth and theyve already been doing that in the last 12 months they will now accelerate that and that is a long term competitive advantage to them because as theyre having to keep in their products americans protected by the tariff wall have less of an incentive to do that and in the long run thats also favoring china you graham an excellent point about america who used to be the dominant stabilizing power in the global stage and he has kind of a kind of lost that now so is 2020 said to be a repeat of 29000 with rampant volatility in the market as a kind of gets charged around by more tweets from the white house because as a manager as they got totally destroyed last year from trying to reposition their portfolios every other day according to trump. Well i think heres what you have for 2020 and for 2021 you basically have conflicting pressures the uncertainty around china which in this deal perpetuates for the rest of the next of this year and probably into next year as well thats not good for the markets number one thats bad number 2 every 4 to 7 years capitalism everywhere in the world has a downturn we call that the Business Cycle every 4 to 7 years the last downturn here was in 2008 and 9 we are overdue and everybody in the stock market who knows anything about history knows that and no one knows exactly when it will hit but that it will hit in the next year or 2 you can bet on it and that means that the stock market is going to be under a lot of pressure on the plus side the Federal Reserve keeps pumping wild amounts of money into the stock market the government Just Announced that we just passed 1. 00 trillion dollars in government deficit spending so youre boosting the economy by the way done by a Republican Administration which used to criticize all that kind to behavior theyre doing that that will boost the economy but i dont think that Strong Enough for the headwinds from the Business Cycle and the chinese uncertainty of course well talk further about this in the coming weeks but a professor of i want you to hang in there for about 90 seconds we want to set up this next story and get your reaction to it so just hang there for just a moment. On wednesday russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev announced the resignation of the countrys government of the resignation came shortly after president Vladimir Putin gave his annual state of the nation address where he announced plans constitutional reforms following that speech the president the Prime Minister announced his resignation and president putin thanked him for his service. Which we as a government of the Russian Federation should have lined the president of our country with an opportunity to make all necessary. Decisions are changing the russian political says you know could you lead and in these conditions i believe that it would be right that the incumbent government of the Russian Federation resigns including the vertical zone the 17. 00 of the most of the Russian Federation 2 of them for my party and id like to thank you for everything that has been done at this stage of our joint credit with it and id like to express my satisfaction at the results achieved that you would not everything of course he succeeded in everything never works out in its entirety and during the state of the nation the president said he plans to create a new position of deputy secretary of Russias Security Council which would be offered to medvedev under the proposed reforms of the state duma russias lower house of parliament will be given the authority to dame the Prime Minister and the rest of their cabinet so the process will not go into effect until after a referendum from the russian people the kremlin said today that president putin met with the head of the federal tax service mikhail mistrust and and offered him the role of Prime Minister which he has accepted so were going to bring in bring back a presser Richard Wolffe right now host of economic update back in to break this all bound up with fessor wolf what do you make of this resignation of the russian government or what are we seeing here. Well i think we are seeing an adjustment inside russia to the new and different Global Situation that they face they want to make some changes economically they have done really quite well they are looking at exports of energy to western europe far larger and more lucrative than what they had as little as a few years ago all their strategy which in part they chose in part was full forced on them did not depend russia on exports of non energy goods the way for example the chinese economy is dependent on exports of manufactured goods so they havent been hurt as badly as germany and other countries in the United States include. Good bye this trade war its kind of a peculiar moment for them and i think theyre looking at a new and more powerful and economically more secure situation in the world you see that theyve kind of moved in to become the key player in syria so they are they have expansion a little bit of their range of influence i think theyre feeling their oats and theyre going to make some changes and they feel that they are in a stronger global position and a stronger dont mess that position and they probably are now knows the situation with their government signing have any impact on the russian economy or any of their economic relationships and market seems to be approving this as its rallying the model x. As rallying 1. 6 percent yeah i think that most people dont think that will have very little effect if this is very smooth everybody is congratulating everybody else everybody whos quitting is doing it without a murmur of opposition or resistance so this is all very choreographed very smooth and i think its being read probably correctly by the markets as a sign of the selfconfidence and their security there are problems inside russia there are problems within the equality in that society ever since the transition from the Old Soviet Union those problems are not going away theyre building up as they are elsewhere in the world thats going to be a problem for mr putin part of this is probably an attempt to see how to manage that thats a kind of an uncertainty but broadly speaking the markets see this as russia becoming a more important player than it has been since 1909 and the collapse of the Old Soviet Union professor Richard Wolffe of fear of understanding socialism thank you for breaking this all down for us we needed it today.

The International Fight over hallway technology continues as britains new Prime Minister Boris Johnson says that if critics of follow want to oppose the technology they need to give a reason for its exclusion in the government contract and provide an alternative johnson went on to say quote the British Public deserves to have access to the best possible technology we want to put in a gigabyte broadband for everybody now if people oppose one brand or another then they have to tell us whats the alternative the Prime Minister also pointed out that he wants to protect britains role in the 5 eyes intelligence sharing agreement between the United States britain canada new zealand and australia the us has been applying pressure on multiple countries to block all way from building out its 5 g. Infrastructure now in fact should the trumpet ministration officials have said that allowing it to have access to the u. K. s intelligence sharing would be nothing short of madness now joining us to discuss this further is hillary ford which board member of the British American Business Association because theyre so Boris Johnson was extremely careful to talk about keeping the 5 relationship why did you feel the need to make that point so heavily well because its been a very long standing global agreement of course as you mentioned the us Canada Australia new zealand and the u. K. And i think i would go though to defer to Andrew Parker hes the head of m i 5 and he was charged with the investigation as to whether this is safe or not which was initiated by bob c. Bob seeley was on the is on the u. K. Foreign Affairs Council a conservative politician and they had extensive investigation as to whether it would be safe or not and basically because Boris Johnson was caught between a rock and a hard place hes made the pledge you just mention to the British Public to to maintain compatible with being very competitive and maintain that versus this investigation it will in the end Andrew Pollack of them live. 5 has said he does not think that while way will jeopardize National Security i think its not so much a case as what is happening now its what is the possibility of what could that software do because we know back to 2010 Michael Hayden the head of the u. S. And u. S. Agency actually has said look this is nothing more than a vehicle for chinese espionage. This is actually interesting because of this that they could be theres so much concern over while Great Technology but theres never been any actual evidence that the company does allow back door access to the chinese government. At this point how are they able to continually say this well they might well everybody might rise in my sprint. So what do you make of that i think its the fear with the unknown and with the chinese i think its because there have been cases against while way on the National Security advisor i just mentioned Michael Hayden it was again going back to 2012 cases were opened want to about fraud and one about espionage commercial espionage and i think its because of those cases theres always that expression where theres smoke theres fire and i think that those sort of like basically expose some sort of fear was thats never been that way with apple or verizon or any of the others and you have a question actually to follow up on that when it comes to apple whos receiving whats happening right now about the back door in the back before as we saw this after december did you know who you were so you had terribly the terrorist attack yes absolutely awful situation yeah but the u. S. Government wants them to give a backdoor access into those phones because its you know there is the line that is that is a global debate which is when it comes to terrorists do you want to have that access or not i mean people want it but then like you say it could be anything it could be for commercial espionage absolute yes in the end its about whoever is abusing the technology really cant blame the technology is it going to be is going to be a bad element and of acting grokked so now germany was also recently threatened by chinas over its possible exclusion of way over its countrys 5 g. Build so what was the. Well with germany theyre in a very different situation of course germany is in a different situation because a quarter of that kamani factoring goes into china and so this situation is the ankle a muckle is very pressured by this the members of her party have actually opened a case where they want to pos legislation to ban while way into germany problem it is less so dependent on the 3 manufacturing access into china and the ambassador to germany from china who he has actually threatened that you know we might not accept those calls into china anymore so the issue there is this legislation thats being started by members of the opposing party and absolutely i mean it seems like a lot of this i mean especially with what was happening in germany and now in the u. K. Its a lot of pressure from the United States who kind of started this battle against weiwei or at least made the biggest push on it and a lot of pressure from trump absolute hiller for it for which member of the board member of the British American Business Association thank you so much for joining us that azure. And finally some good news for the legions of nintendo and video game fans out there Universal Studios japan says it will launch Super Nintendo World in osaka in the summer of 2020 the new mario centric theme park is slated to open in time for the 2020 summer olympics which take place in tokyo which will funnel massive amounts of tourist to the country Universal Studios japan has been awfully koyo about giving any details but launched a new website and probably on tuesday with a little bit of fancy stuff so with that announcement they promise that the park will be a blend or will blend the physical world with the world of the video game and allow visitors to feel as if they are playing inside their favorite nintendo video games now kristie it seems to me were stepping away from the idea of Virtual Reality and now were going to reality reality but still its a video god still of the games are as they are gaming in reality how like an escape room thing but way more fun an animated kind of.
