Find some way to make it so we do not get to that bad outcome the caller mentioned, that there is sufficient fuel. I would imagine Going Forward youll see a lot of creativity on capitol hill by the president and others trying to find ways so we do not remain as vulnerable as we are. If there is some conflict. That is why development of nonfossil fuels is also important and and all of the above Energy Strategy will be critical, whether we are dealing with the conflict today between russia and ukraine, or some other issue down the road. Caller one issue host one issue that did come up today was human rights. What biggest what are our biggest Human Rights Concerns in china . Guest probably most people have been heard about what is going on as well as in hong kong and the National Security law and the elimination of the one country, two systems model. The government originally gave hong kong a lot of time eight for the first 20 years under chinese rule. That seems to have been ripped away from hong kong. More broadly speaking here of the expansion of a surveillance state in china through Technology Like cameras and ai, but also through average folks that work for the local state on the ground. You can see that. Those are big human rights issues and china has moved in a much more authoritarian direction under xi jinping. We have seen President Biden and secretary of state blinken highlight our differences of ideology and political systems and the u. S. Has tried to emphasize that it is a strong advocate for democracy around the world and human rights. They have pushed the chinese bilaterally as well as in the u. N. And elsewhere. Even chinas own neighbors have raised chinese humans rights are regular basis. Host come back to the surveillance state i can see on the ground when i am there. Guest when i was in china in september and october, you drive around and you see cameras everywhere. They are ubiquitous. When you have to take tests for covid and then have your phone stand to enter any building, your information is immediately shared with authorities. There is no disappearing in china. Most people think even when china gets to a postpandemic era, your phone and that information will still be used by the state. It is a lot different from the way it used to be, even though you still have the same party holding a monopoly on power. The Technology Tools they are using are different than they were in the past. Host alexandria, virginia. Stephen. Good morning. Caller i wonder if the guest could give us some insight into xi jinpings mind and calculus. I cannot imagine being a leader on the world stage severely condemning mr. Pruden, which severely condemning vladimir putin, which xi jinping has not done. Is it just because he has access to a trade partner or is there something else, possibly a balance of power, i would like your perspective on what is his calculus relative to ukrainian conflict . Guest that is a great question and i tried to ask a lot of folks when i was in china about that. I think this goes back to basic power politics, triangular diplomacy which was popular during the cold war. The chinese disagree with the russians on a range of different issues, their economic structures, the way they have integrated the rest of the world are quite different. They both agreed the u. S. Is an adversary and so they have formed a common bond around that common criticism of the United States. You see that on the february 4 joint declaration they issued and in chinas relatively weak criticism of russia and Political Support for what russia has done. I think that is even more important than the energy issue, that political alignment with the russians. I think the chinese wonder if they made a big mistake given what has happened in ukraine. If you think about xi jinping, he feels his responsibility is to save the communist party and hold its monopoly on power. When he came into power a decade ago there was corruption inside the party. The army was weak. He saw the party crumbling. Instead of using the rule of law , strengthening political institutions, he went in a much more leninist direction and he sees his job as preserving the partys hold on power. He is much less of a compromise or than his predecessors. He wants to reform institutions in a way that makes the world safer state capitalism authoritarian systems. It is a challenge, that is why the u. S. And china are at loggerheads the way they are. Host remind viewers what happened at the National Party congress at the end of october and to zhintou is. Guest in late october the communist party held its 20th party congress. They hold these meetings every five years. What was different about this one is xi jinping got a third term in power. Previous leaders before him, his predecessor, they served host terms and then retired. He did not. The rest of the Politburo Standing Committee for all of his allies. He ran the table, and then he overturned the tables by upsetting these norms about how long you should stay in power and how leaders are selected. In the process of that, the predecessor who was sitting almost right next to him on the stage towards the end of this oneweek conclave was upset about something, and others came over and escorted him away in a way that looked like he was not voluntarily leaving. That was read at xi jinping may be slapping him in the face and showing him things have fundamentally changed. It was probably not planned that way but it was certainly read that way by the rest of the world. Host have we seen him since . Guest i do not know that we have seen him, but we have seen flowers he donated to a funeral of someone else who passed away. I do not think he has been disappeared. He is already retired, elderly. No threat to xi jinping. My sense is what happened is he was confused on that stage and they ended up very uncomfortably escorting him away. The way we read it, given xi jinpings total grip on power as it looks much more like a power play. Host just a couple minutes left in our program. Scott kennedy of the center for strategic and international studies. Marianne is in albuquerque, new mexico. Good morning. Caller i may have missed the earliest part of the discussion, but what i have not heard is the calculus in connection with all of these relationships about climate change. Host lets pick it up. Guest sure. The u. S. And china are the Worlds Largest carbon emitters. The u. S. Has done a pretty good job in the last decade bending the curve and reducing Carbon Emissions overall and per capita. The chinese have not. They have used the space to commit that by 2030 there will start sending that curve down. They are still increasing their Carbon Emissions. At the same time they have also started to develop green tech, renewable energy, electric vehicles come everyone is probably familiar with that. The results of the tensions over taiwan, how Speaker Pelosi said the chinese canceled or suspended the dialogue ever climate that john kerry had been leading for the u. S. It is not precisely clear with they said on this exact issue, but President Biden did suggest that the two sides should be able to engage on transnational issues, climate being the first one he mentioned. And the creation of working groups around a variety of issues, sending secretary blinken back to beijing. I think it might be possible in the next two days will hear the two sides say they are resuming conversations on climate. Obviously a lot more to do than just having a few meetings of and china. It does feel like they may have broken that logjam. Host about 45 seconds left. Anything else youll be watching for from the g20 . Guest i want to seat not only what the u. S. And china commit to, but what does the rest of the g20 say on all of these issues we face in terms of climate health, Macro Economic issues like inflation and supplychain resilience. I will also be reading what is the rest of the worlds take away from the bilateral meeting. Everyone does not want to see the u. S. And china end up in a war they want to figure out how to be able to maintain relations with both sides. Not just bilaterally between the u. S. And china, but what the rest of g20 will be. Then, we will see down in the next few months whether the u. S. And china will really resume the communication they should be having. Host you can follow him on a very good monday morning to you. You can start calling in now. As we talked what do you like to see lead in the house and senate. Phone lines for democrats, republicans and independents and as you do that we will take you to the current balance of power and the situation a lot more clear in the senate. Democrats retaining this control of the senate with that 50 seat needed to retain control. Theres one race the speaker pro tempore we are keeping our o commitment to live coverage of the u. S. House.

Like our massive deficit and 40year high inflation rates. But just as importantly, our country needs unity and it starts right here. I often tell my kids to stop complaining and do the hard things. Thats how we grow, how we learn, and how we succeed in life. And i will apply that same approach here in congress. Its time to roll up our sleeves and do the hard work collaboratively, to find Common Ground and forge solutions for hoosiers. Thats what jackie did and i cant wait to get started.
