Coming up chinese president xi jinping sets out his vision for the country at the start of the communist Party Congress he says his dream to run is to turn china into a global superpower. And the rules off it was the center of Islamic States brutal regime now the city has fallen to us back Syrian Forces so does the loss of the city mean i guess is finished. Last in the next sixty minutes remembering one of martin germanys most violent and defining moments its forty years since the radical left Wing Campaign culminated in the killing of a top german businessman we look back at the impact of the Red Army Faction that can still be friends today. And in sport i joined still down real madrid and Tottenham Hotspur went head to head in the. Champions league on tuesday. Hello im on with our chief our pleasure to have your Company Nearly one month after germans went to the polls chancellor Angela Merkel is beginning a complex task of forming the next governing coalition merkels conservative c. D. U. C. S. U. Group is holding talks with two potential suitors the probusiness free democrats and the green party is known here as the Jamaica Coalition because the colors of the parties correspond to those of the jamaican flag the magnets first aim is to get the parties to agree to launch a formal Coalition Talks but that could prove tricky for prospective partners have major ideological differences over a number of key issues including e. U. Austerity migration and Energy Policy hundreds brand of Political Correspondent has been listening to a briefing given after chancellor merkel finished her informal talks with the free democrats i asked him what they said. Well first of all theyre trying to say that everything is going pretty well in other words theyre trying to say that the atmosphere is good that they are talking. In a sort of businesslike manner that in some ways there is also an atmosphere of friendship always almost being built that theyre deciding what subjects are going to be the most important what issues are going to be controversial and of course theyre also talking about Technical Details when theyre going to meet again in what kind of format theyre going to meet again and how long this is all going to take at the moment all three parties that were involved this morning the christian democrats of angular macko sister party the Christian Social Union from bavaria and the free democrats the market liberals all said that this first initial talk went well bunch they expected to take a lot more time and a lot more effort actually to bring results but just america is not going to be talking to the green party another potential coalition know what i expected to be the pressure points in those talks that are going to take place in the building behind you. Well exactly this is the Parliamentary Association its a kind of private members club of parliamentarians see a sort of neutral ground i think you can say for all of those involved and obviously the green party theyre the most Left Wing Party involved in these talks on in terms of these talks on the left spectrum and the furthest away from them all the big variance the Christian Social Union they are trying to push angloamerican into a right wing more right wing policies the greens obviously have no intention of going along with that merkel at the moment is managing to keep her policies more at the center and the greens are very eager in fact to join a government so they are prepared to make concessions but obviously they too have issues such as Climate Change such a certain issue is concerned with migration where they are not likely to budge very much so what these two potential Coalition Partners are going to try and push their agenda has given all of that difficulty and how is it going to be for chocked america to build a new governing coalition well its going to be very difficult i think. You know when youre explaining that this is called the jamaica possible Jamaica Coalition here so people are saying the distance between learn and jamaica is about a thousand kilometers and there said this morning weve covered the first few metres of that so everyone here is expecting this to take a long time and possibly if we manage to get a coalition set up by christmas by the end of december that will be pretty good going hans brown thank you very much for that. Getting out of china president xi jinping has declared a new era for his country and said it is time for china to take center stage in the was at the first session of the communist Party Congress in beijing she also pledged to open his countrys economy father and to pursue a policy of zero tolerance against corruption now during the weeklong congress a new pullet bureau to run china for the next five years will also be selected. Its a meeting on the grandest so scales. Nearly twenty three hundred delegates representing the eighty nine million members of chinas communist party. And the focus of it all one man president xi jinping. She praised chinas achievements during his stewardship but he said the country must not stand still. Ok china has made major breakthroughs in its Reform Campaign where now in high gear and full steam with deepening comprehensive reforms and resolutely removing all systematic problems these reforms have been carried out in an indepth them fundamental manner his speech may have been light on details but she promised to continue Economic Reforms fight corruption and open the door to more Foreign Investment as part of a new era of chinese development. She also set the tone for chinas role on the International Stage in the coming years. One focusing on Economic Development and environmental protection. But she also cautioned world powers against taking his war more words as a sign of weakness. China pursues an independent Foreign Policy of peace and respects the rights of other countries to choose their own development road china one never pursued development at the expense of others interests and will never give up its legitimate rights and interests either no one should expect china to swallow anything that undermines its interests. She is widely seen as chinas most powerful leaders and smiles they dont but hes still trying to rally support for a new term in office and his message to the assembly was clear stay the course and clear the way for a new era of prosperity. Now reporter kristen shepherd is following the communist Party Congress and joins me now from beijing listen most of the talks are going to be in closed door sessions what do you think is going to be the focus of this past week on this a lot of the talks are going to be in a closed door session but we do broadly know the direction that this congress will be taking because we have opening speech where he laid out a very vision china is china who over the next few decades become a very strong power militarily economically on the global stage but he also laid out a vision where the policy would be very center of running china so this is a very ambitious idea to have a modern state that is globally active but is also in some sense is still a very traditional communist country that china is facing slowing Economic Growth what viewed as the main economic challenges there and how does president xi plan to address them. Facing a lot of different pressures economically has a huge amount of local Government Debt you have a very cumbersome stay sector which has failed to modernize you have overcapacity in every Industry Sectors like coal and steel and many analysts believe that to deal with these are significant problems the government needs to push forward with a severe gender of reform they need to bring in more Market Forces to try and shun some of these older more comes and sectors into life however the scene in the speech hasnt given them much hope he largely reiterated previous promises on which have been going very slowly and said that the parts you continue to play a guiding role in the economy. This is the ass some who say that shes in the being is now the was all spouse for leader how is he viewed in china sitting thing is actually very popular in china to be among people who think hes done a very good job fighting corruption hes had a hugely high hope of Corruption Campaign which has taken down about one point four million officials over the last five years this also gives him a huge amount of stature within the party he has been able to grab more power than is created precesses predisaster which made him when the most powerful is in modern china some people compared him to even done to helping one of the. Founder of the idea of opening up in the form of china or perhaps even to mars and on. To suggest that in beijing thank you very much. Thank you now ben from on business says joins me now but now investors reacting to news coming out of the Party Congress in beijing basically they call it promised fatigue i think that sums it up quite nicely they want to see action from china the leader of the worlds second biggest economy has cast himself as a champion of globalization as the top economy the u. S. Retreats in president shes first term he disappointed many a market reform especially in the debt ridden state sector this time he opened his week long Party Congress with even more pledges he vowed to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Foreign Investors and said all businesses registered in china will be treated equally well u. S. And european firms are barred from certain sectors and forced to share their technology with local competitors to gain access she also wants to strengthen state of firms that could be good if it means tackling debt but foreign business groups see it as a push to foster Home Grown Companies in key industries. And raising joins us now from singapore and conrad boos and from frankfurt andreea lets start with you what signs a year seeing suggesting she could get somewhere with Economic Reforms in a new five year term. Well but he started with a detailed report card of his achievements as for me in the first five years and hes looking ahead with details of how hes going to face the challenges that are going to face shine in the next five years so thats a positive optimistic direction that hes trying to take a lot of it a lot of mention words on china really forming in the markets as well and Financial Systems that particularly close attention to the Exchange Rate as well as its currency as well as its Financial Systems at the core of it all what about chinas debt there are growing concerns the accumulation of credit could trigger a financial crisis. You know its interesting chinas bad spoke in a whisper of this debt mountain over the course of the last few months this year and weve not heard much about it and what theyre going to what theyre going to do about it we might be relieved to hear that part of these reforms that he has mentioned does involve reforms in the fiscal systems and he recognizes that a lot of that has to start with the local Government Debt as well which is whats causing the pileup ok so china has been talking much about that but what about europeans conrad whats the take from frankfurt on chinese day. Well the fact that the chinese didnt read it or that the president there didnt really talk a lot about that is what people call here an elephant in the room because everyone here is discussing a lot about the large amount of debt in china the International Monetary fund estimates that the amount of debt in relation to g. D. P. In china is that two hundred and fifty percent this would be called totally unsustainable here in europe a country with such a high debt to g. D. P. Ratio would not really find it easy to get credit on the Financial Markets whats positive or why this is contained in china has to do with the fact that this is mostly domestic debt i mean it is debt to chinese creditors the chinese have large amounts of holdings are in foreign currencies thats sort of muffling. The risk there and. Of course this contributes to the fact that you know the risk by ratings agencies is seen relatively contained s. N. P. Recently lowered the rating to a plus not very bad but the chinese at the time were not amused ok well lets leave the elephant in the room for the moment and can foreign businesses really expect equal treatment with chinese firms all of a sudden. Well what you mentioned earlier about promises that see that very well insured fortunately i caught a lot of top Foreign Investors and economists are not very optimistic about that promise even changing all of their creates a serious seem more of the same of. The same story i just different versions of it i think that market openness really at the end of it is still going to be second to be. Focused of reforms conrad theres no doubt the chinese economy will soon be number one but what sort of economy will it be do you think were going to get another usa or another europe. Well it looks like in terms of economies china wants to be sort of both they want a Strong Services sector they want a strong consumption by private households but they want to remain a big manufacturer and they want to be market leaders in terms of technology it looks like you know especially the phonology part makes competition tougher in the future for us here in europe also for the americans and also despite what the president said there in beijing today about more openness its likely that this is continuously going to be a very much of a top down managed country and economy. And for us there in frankfurt and and praying in singapore with a Financial Analysis on china thank you. President shes promise of an open economy sounds nice but what about an open exchange of information internet censorship the socalled great firewall of china is a problem for critical domestic users that a lot of Foreign Companies and the governments threatening to crack down on v. P. N. Which tunnel data traffic abroad. Im calling is a German Company that provides data system consultancy to foreign firms with operations in china. The beijing government is now planning to block access to Virtual Private Networks all v. P. N. Encrypted connections that tunnel data traffic to a proxy server. V. P. N. Scars just a few euros and have become a critical tool for secure communication between foreign based companies and their headquarters. Theyre also used by millions of individuals to circumvent chinas censorship system. Because. Most of our clients are very concerned. If not horrified upon it. Because of how dependent they come on v. V. Ends. For lawson. The author of interfered with b. P. s before especially in the run up to communist Party Congresses but the regime had appeared wary of enforcing a complete lockdown on v. P. Ends probably out of consideration for the Business World but in the new year beijing will order telecoms providers to close the data tells us if this is serious this time they mean it and theyll go through with it too. Many Details Remain unclear. But for the European Business community in beijing chinas internet policy has always been troublesome. We see it as kind of sort of a tax on doing business in china and and thats not good for trying to you what were looking at creating more productivity more efficiency in the economy certainly ensuring that companies have readily timely and stable access to information is important and it hurts Foreign Companies even more and theres more in store for those companies a new law on Cyber Security introduced even more rules to an already highly Restricted Technology regime certain data may now only be stored on the main one for example for Foreign Companies in particular the assessments and adjustments involved will be a major burden. In this Service Ultimately the Cyber Security law means that youre not being compliant you can get your company into serious trouble it could even mean the company being closed down or having to disclose all of its data and no Company Wants that this person were going to get to my. What is already clear is that the new law will make life difficult for smaller foreign based enterprises and prevent others from even starting up here. More business to come including greek growth you dont oft
