but the claims overlap with those of several other countries, shown here in blue dashes. it is unclear which scene depicts what vietnam s department of cinema called the offensive image of china s line. live now to emilie raymond, professor of political culture at virginia commonwealth university. thank you so much forjoining us here on the programme. this is not the first time that hollywood has engaged in this kind of political activity when it comes to a film. no, absolutely not. politics, broadly defined, cultural sensitivities, they ve been very important factors in hollywood since its inception in the early 1900s, and hollywood has always been a global industry, so they ve always had to thing about foreign policy. but given united states s position, vis a vis china, why do you think that in this particular incidence, to put such a controversial map out there? while vietnam has pulled
grip. that suggests that there are things that we could and should be doing in particular to support the ukrainians in this counteroffensive at the weapons that they them have said and we really need. , yes the weakness that president putin has shown does affect him. they probably affect some vis-à-vis china. china was always saw president putin as the junior partner, the little brother. and now the little brother is less powerful than even they thought. others around the world are noticing that as well. kevin, can you dig deeper for us? we are doing some coverage on the wagner group and who they are. put into context who they are and what they have done for putin and specifically prigozhin s role in that. who this guy is. to add to what bill, said don t, forget there is a nato summit in three weeks. all of this is happening and it hasn t changed the relationship
china and the united states, when diplomatic relations were established is our understanding that differences with regard to taiwan will be resolved. peacefully. what are the chances of that? today, the council on foreign relations is releasing its new report on u.s./taiwan relations in a new era responding to a more assertive china. joining us the former director of national intelligence susan gordon. and admiral. both co-chairs on the council on foreign relations. it s so good to see both ever you. thank you so much, for this, for the report. add miller mullen, talk to us about your concerns how likely it is there there be conflict between the u.s. and china over taiwan? i think, andrea, it s
investigation into the russian interference in 2016, to the republican intelligence committee chairman, on hunter biden s charges and to trump s latest comments about the mar-a-lago documents. and secretary of state antony blinken is in london today for a conference on ukraine, after trying to reset the tense u.s. relationship with china and meeting with xi. he sat down with our correspondents before leaving. both china and the united states i think recognized that we were in an increasingly unstable place in our relationship. i think this is the start of a process to put a little more stability into it. good day, everyone. i m andrea mitchell in washington, following all of the breaking news about hunter biden. after a five-year long investigation, lsu attorney david weiss, he was appointed by former president trump
should not be being removed. they should be in secure places. i want to also ask you about china, reaction to secretary blinken s trip. they did not restore military to military communications but they seem to have gotten back to talking. and the foreign minister is going to come here. we don t know what s next. both sides including president xi said the world needs these two superpowers to work with each other. right. i m very concerned about the administration s tongue with china, it s so conciliatory. even talking about the balloon traversing across the continental united states, even now, the president is making statements excusing the behavior on the part of china. if we re ever going to hold them account and hold them tole restore an equal dialogue, we at least have to identify what s bad. do you have assessment of what the chinese may have maintained. i really can t, i can t talk about the status of that.
