trump is like a child in his ignorance of foreign policy. so some very consistent negative statements. but, carol, the reason why the chinese government is so upset about this is because of what this policy means. the one-china policy here in beijing means that the chinese government used taiwan as a breakaway chinese province. the united states only formally recognizes beijing and does not recognize taiwan. but if the trump administration were to come in and either ignore the one-china policy as it stands now or as perhaps go so far as to establish diplomatic relations with taiwan, beijing would see the trump administration as endorsing an independent for taiwan. for beijing as they say time and again that is a line too far and they would not accept it. how they would respond, economically, militarily, that has huge implications, and perhaps this is just a negotiation from the trump administration, the incoming administration does expect to try to negotiate the new trade deals with ch
intelligence services? i don t think they fear that anyone s going to go over to moscow and arrest them. but looking at this, carol, in a big kind of a big focus, they have succeeded in undermining faith among many people in democracy, in the american way of democracy. they have obviously criticize kd hillary clinton. i mean i watched russian media. there s no question that she was under attack by the russian media. and then, you know, did they do it to help trump? or did they do it to hurt hillary? it kind of works in the same way in the end. if you know what i mean. so i think the overall thing is that this is very damaging to the entire system. and there is a mood that s been created which is as soon as there are reports in the united states of hacking, the system is corrupt, et cetera, the russian
between the intelligence community, and a president-elect. but this is what we have. the president-elect donald trump basically saying that, look, back in 2003 the intelligence community was wrong when it said that iraq had weapons of mass destruction and donald trump says this time it could be wrong again about russia. way don t want intelligence interfering in our politics. but we also don t want politics i think it s ridiculous. i think it s just another excuse. i don t believe it. they have no idea if it s russia or china, or somebody. it could be somebody sitting in a bed some place. i mean they have no idea. so why would the cia put out this story that the russians wanted you to win the election. i m not sure they put it out. i think the democrats are putting it out because they suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics in this country. so, carol, despite the intelligence community being very concerned that the president-elect seems to be
certainly taking it very seriously. carol? all right, matt rivers reporting live from beijing. one country looking forward to trump being president is israel. in an interview with 60 minutes the prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he is excited to work with the new president-elect. i know donald trump. i know him very well. and i think his attitude, his support for israel, is clear. he feels very warmly about the jewish state, about the jewish people, and about jewish people. there s no question about that. netanyahu admitting he s had differences with president obama, but insists it was never personal. he also said he s planning to meet with trump to discuss ending the iran nuclear deal. trump previously slammed that agreement calling it stupid. and a disgrace. trump s choice for secretary of defense retired general james mattis has warned against withdrawing from that iran deal. still to come in the newsroom we are minutes away from senate
right now, there s broad agreement at the cia and at the fbi and other agencies that the russian intelligence agencies hacked the democratic national committee and that they targeted democrats by orchestrating the release of these embarrassing e-mails. now the cia, in a briefing a couple weeks ago, did tell members of congress that it was also clear that the russians were trying to get trump elected. now the fbi isn t ready to go that far. they still are looking at a mix of motivation, but broadly they think it was about undermining our democratic system. the cia told lawmakers that they had new information from their sources. but really, even the cia deal isn t 100% definitive. a lot of this is circumstantial evidence. of course, donald trump is tweeting about all this this morning as you mentioned this morning he says why wasn t this brought up before the election? the answer, carol, is that it was brought up before the election. the president-elect would have learned a lot of this i
