The United States and china are due to resume trade talks this weekend ace months after agreeing to phase one of a trade deal the conditions couldnt be any more tense the world is in the grips of the pandemic which u. S. President Donald Trump Blames on beijing and washington is in the middle of a crackdown on chinese tech giants. The Popular Video service to talk is facing a battle in the u. S. 8 thats what President Donald Trump wants citing concerns over the chinese states potential access to the user data to talk collects and tick tock happens to be very successful in the u. S. It may get avoided if an American Company takes over the video platform and its 100000000 american users until september 15th. Both microsoft and twitter have registered interest and negotiations are ongoing. Is already banned the messaging app is a must have in china and most chinese smartphone users have it installed on their phones phones they take with them when they move to the u. S. To work or study but the number of users is far behind that of take talk these are only the latest battleground in the fight protect supremacy between the u. S. And china but it takes 2 to play the game American Social media platforms like facebook and twitter have been banned for years and chinese tech conglomerate huawei has been a bone of contention for the u. S. Despite washington sanctions however while way still managed to sell more smartphones than any other company. But whether that success will hold is another question huawei is struggling with challenges to its smartphone production mostly due to u. S. Trade restrictions against china that prevent american a chip producers like qualcomm from providing wall way with processors their supply is only enough for a few more weeks even while way might have to stop producing phones as early as september. Lets bring in james under a new as hes the director of the Technology Policy program at the center for strategic and International Studies in washington d. C. James welcome to the show how big a role will chinese tanks play in this next round of talks. Well i think it will overshadow them its surprising if theyll make any progress theres areas like a cultural products where theres still room of the president we welcome progress on agriculture but tech overshadows everything ok now washington is threatening to take talk on National Security grants now the way to look at this is that america is simply threatened by it tiny Success Story what do you fight about no its not a threat of the chinese Success Story its the threat of chinese espionage and chinese censorship and of chinese influence operations and fortunately theres good evidence that china is doing this we know theyre censoring things and taught theres a deep concern in the government that they will use to talk as a platform to spread chinese propaganda there is and finally theres the whole question of what happens to the personal data can be collected over by us its best to see to talk not as an individual case that part of a larger pattern. O. P. M. Health Care Companies and Insurance Companies chinas vacuuming up u. S. Person data to populate a surveillance database and thats the primary grounds for concern on that question of data though u. S. President donald trump is accusing Chinese Companies of mining you as a state as you say im the likes of facebook and google doing exactly the same thing. They are but they dont have prison camps engine jam they dont violate their agreements in hong kong theyre not a state and so china is the Worlds Largest surveillance state its the Worlds Largest police state its not a democracy it doesnt respect human rights or the rule of law that makes it fundamentally different facebook and google cant throw people in jail china can and what do you think beijing strategy will be then in the next round of talks. Oh i think i look for retaliation i mean as you mentioned going into this course us social media platforms are banned in china so it even some chinese and told me we understand why youre doing this youre just using a page from our playbook but china will look for other areas where they can retaliate and whether thats in silm soren in investment or Something Else will chinese will be careful to do this in a way that doesnt hurt their own economy but theyre looking for ways to retaliate and well probably see that relatively soon and do you think has come out an incredibly volatile time for the Global Economy what i the chances of a breakthrough. I would say a major breakthrough its close to 0 progress in some areas trying to ministration would like to see some progress because of the election i hope the chinese dont overestimate that the chinese keep saying well hes all doing this because in the election it wont help him that much you know what hurt him that much i mean americans do vote their pocket book but the trade talks wont really change a lot of the fundamental issues so minor progress the best thing would be no rupture at all because a rupture would send a very bad signal to markets and so if we can just keep kicking the ball down the road a little bit that might be best for now i think that Paul BrowningJames Andrew Lewis thanks so much thank you. To kenya now where agriculture employs 70 percent of the workforce undercounts for a quarter of the countrys total i put the European Union is its main export market us rules about Pesticide Use mean much of its projects cant be sold there thats despite the fact that many of the sprays kenyan farmers use are actually manufactured by european companies.
