We're thinking so well I think I told you all fear that I.
I don't know much about this whole China thing Russian agent and -- -- our decision paying answering -- of all but here's what I thought.
Just -- casually observer in.
Those dollar component -- Washington.
Vice president.
All he would do and at that luncheon for this tough talk about China and and thank you met a word over -- -- Because because I know that -- ever have about a 300 billion dollar trade deficit right.
And so I don't see any.
Posture and fifteen trillion dollar trade debt market like trade deficit -- we have a deficit of fifteen trillion.
And I targets a lot great -- -- get trade imbalance with traction there are banker put it that way every dollar that we -- Forty cents of that dollar is borrowed -- half -- that is -- from China so it just sounds to me like what the vice president of same.
Was salute to consumption of voters rank who are central -- -- -- -- -- appeal to.
Who with the Donald Trump faction or don't think we're -- about China of this was to demonstrate the oil we're going to be -- China.
But I think it's an impression and don't get to impression what should tell me differently.
That this country has any any any in notion -- all but changing our policy -- All went from China and -- to we're gonna go forward and the trade imbalances gonna -- -- billion dollar or or oral old 400 billion dollars what do.
We don't pick a fight with your banker.
Bottom line and as far as China if this administration is -- -- it wants to event.
From the Middle East to China and hatteras focus -- military national security attention to China -- the but to do that you -- to have build up -- -- -- need more ships because the problem with China will be 1 in the Pacific united -- is much -- -- And the administration has cut those budget so.
You know not what I say what I do is what they ought to follow now the thing with China.
Is and the reason is this it was important is this a good look see it's a good service size and everybody -- Because China is going through leadership changed.
When I had dinner of Henry Kissinger last week we talked about it he -- think about it this way.
The Chinese have -- term limits and -- government and it says if we were placed.
These Supreme Court.
Both houses of congress the White House in the military all in the same year that's for China's going through right now they're having any major turnover.
Of -- this guy who's in Washington now is then going to be the new leader and the Chinese are by no means.
All in agreement about how they wanna go forward and already -- gonna biological what got a couple time.
George suitable fly thousands of Chinese don't mean whatever the real estate overlooking older wholesalers and memorable for their movements before the -- the brunt of their.
You know I don't think there's something to what you say because they're Chinese are really split and into two camps one camp says peaceful rise we don't wanna pick a fight with anybody.
We want to just get all of our people to a certain standard of living and we don't want any problems on our borders is in order to do that the other groups says we're China.
We're the world's greatest and longest around civilization.
-- -- -- couple of years Chenault on that allows a 150 years.
But it's our turn now America's on the decline.
We want to build up our military we want to have that the advantages great powers have and that group.
Is the one -- this -- that is building up the military it may have put a map of Asia.
Where -- said that the South China Sea was an internal Chinese -- can basically said Taiwan.
The Philippines Malaysia Indonesia were all sort of China's so here's our real dichotomy in those restrictions Chinese are gonna count next many years whichever -- we can doses Sarah's question.
A couple of gender or trumps those just Joseph -- a -- -- -- to straighten -- or or else to the -- announced where you what do they say when we say by the way can we borrow some money.
While the camera troops and -- tells -- of it all our stuff from us well -- -- and here's a thing just stop by herself now one week it's well but the Chinese have a decision to make can they do they want to bail us out to what they want Orlando's hundreds of billions of dollars.
So that we can do whatever we're doing with our economy or -- they want to take that money and invest it internally.
Because if China invests the money internally and create some market for its own goods inside China.
Hindering the rest of the world.
Routes prevention -- and argue about so.
-- they've had a debate internally that they feel that the United States who they trusted.
To keep the world international economic situation going afloat in the United States has screwed up.
And has cost them ten years of their savings because remember they a lot of their savings has held in dollars.
And has held and you establish they have that kind of doubt whether it's good for.
And then we haven't talked to -- following announcement organs cordial -- our.
And that we have China and Russia -- All of rather have not not gonna back -- -- sanctions against.
Or trade embargo against sir what over senator one.
And -- Egypt are saying no we're gonna attempt is -- within Israel and your best hello so.

And Syria why the UN -- why the administration -- that Russia and China we're gonna go along with it for another of -- neither of those countries want to be on record.
As saying if a country kills its own people and suppresses its own people we have the right to -- -- and maybe even use military force.
