15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. so basically we have two production options... hey guys, i gotta call you back.

is that your reading of it? >> my reading is there are few people in the transition team around trump that have been talking to the taiwanese for sometime and love the idea of reaching out. i don't believe that trump had the sense personally by having a phone call as president-elect with the taiwanese president that he was setting policy. >> somebody said that to him? >> it depends on what they were trying to accomplish and how ko hern coherent the team is on policy. >> the question is what is the impact of it? >> i think the impact is significant. to the extent there is any real red line for them with the united states, it's taiwan and the new nationalist government in taiwan. so this is going to start the u.s./china relationship off in a much more contentious manner. the fact trump followed it up with tweets and talks about currency manipulation and south china on sea military expansion are red rags for a u.s./china relationship. i don't have a problem with a tough line against china if it's well-thought through but i was in asia, as you know. when you go talk to the singapore prime minister or other allies in the region, they see the transpacific partnership has failed but don't see trump at all as someone who is a strong and consistent ally for them. so the united states could be picking a fight with china. our allies haven't been brought into this one bit. >> whether it was out of ignorance or some plan to send a message to china, what is the downside diplomatically? what could be the repercussions? >> there is one thing in foreign policy that you need to get right as the president today. it's the u.s./china relationship. the most important bilaterally relationship in the world. if we are not working with them and the allies don't think they are consistent they will tilt towards china. the world we have evolved the past decade is the one where american corporations feel they can do business in all of these country answer gets harder. china is the leading trade partner for every country in asia, not the united states any more. the negotiating environment is getting harder. >> another way to send a message to china is the u.s. relationship with japan. >> sure. >> what do we see there with the trump administration? >> i think with abe getting right on a plane and flying over and giving him a golf club, very different from merkel saying we want to make sure the values are good, the strongest u.s. ally in the world under a trump administration may well be shinzo in japan. that will not get you what it used to. >> you also tweeted this. silver lining from trump/taiwan call and resulting furor. more likely he appoints a experienced secretary of state. what to make in this case? >> the fact giuliani is clearly who trump wanted in the early days but recognize he doesn't have the capacity to do the job, they have expanded the list and looking for other people and not the way trump wants to run his red rose rally. the new people he is talking to are pretty competent and coherent. you're talking about jon huntsman and david petraeus. whatever you think about them, these are people with real life experience and therapy treated seriously when they travel outside of the u.s. >> let me come back to your point, though. my impression is before this incident that our allies in the pacific wanted us to stand up to china because they feared the encroachment of china. >> that's true. and one of the ways they want us to stand up to china wasn't just militarily. it was the most important multilateral trade deal that the united states tried to set up for decades. the transpacific partnership which trump has reiterated he is out day one. wants nothing to do with it. literally every american ally in asia, including mr. abe, but big political capital on the line to get tpp done. in the case of abe, he doesn't have any internal opposition either within his party or outside. he can come to the u.s. and talk to trump and doesn't even mention it's not a problem for him. but for every other ally, like in south korea where they are about to get than impeached president, it's a real problem. >> not because of trade? >> not because of trade but the point it's much harder for them say, oh, it's no big deal that trump isn't going forward with a really big strategic deal that was going to allow us to be more in align with the united states. >> thanks. >> ian bremmer, appreciate you being here. two churches with a complicated past are trying to build a racial divide. >> one daughter said follow and one daughter said why?
