france he'll bring up at the g-7. back with me now. katherine, his deal with china, what's going on? >> there was a lot of confused misinformation there. it was like, china is stealing $500 billion from us. maybe it's $1 trillion. of course. we are sending china $500 billion worth of cash, but we are getting stuff in exchange for cash. we have a trade deficit, but there's stuff being traded. he mentioned it's china's worst year, which is a weird thing to be celebrated given that we have these rising free throws of recession here, which is partly due to contagion effects. he also said that, you know, other presidents should have done something about china. no one was willing to. except he left out the transpacific partnership which was largely about holding china in check. >> patrick, powell is no bobby
