1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump of the United States US has announced

2
00:00:04,200 –> 00:00:06,679
plans to meet one on one with the President of

3
00:00:06,799 –> 00:00:11,400
China she Jimping at Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation APEC meeting

4
00:00:11,439 –> 00:00:15,400
coming this November in South Korea, and according to President Trump,

5
00:00:15,640 –> 00:00:18,160
he had a phone call with President Sheet to also

6
00:00:18,239 –> 00:00:20,879
pay a state visit to China early next year to

7
00:00:20,920 –> 00:00:24,480
discuss and find a possible solution to end Russia Ukraine

8
00:00:24,519 –> 00:00:27,239
war and the U S issue with the Chinese own

9
00:00:27,359 –> 00:00:31,280
social networking company TikTok that may face complete ban in

10
00:00:31,320 –> 00:00:35,359
the United States if agreement is not reached on December sixteenth,

11
00:00:35,439 –> 00:00:39,520
twenty twenty five. That aside, the United States government is

12
00:00:39,600 –> 00:00:43,600
currently being considered as a pseudo practitioner of free trade

13
00:00:43,640 –> 00:00:47,840
and free speech and freedom of association. Some observers accused

14
00:00:47,960 –> 00:00:51,359
U S government of monopoly in the technology industry that

15
00:00:51,479 –> 00:00:55,119
it wants to remain superior in the social networking business. Hence,

16
00:00:55,159 –> 00:00:58,880
the U. S Government is demanding to own and control TikTok,

17
00:00:59,240 –> 00:01:02,719
trying to use all manners of manipulative and deceptive ways

18
00:01:02,799 –> 00:01:05,640
to force by dance to sell TikTok to Oracle and

19
00:01:05,719 –> 00:01:09,719
silver Lake, among others. Because of China government alleged control

20
00:01:09,799 –> 00:01:13,480
of TikTok algorithm and also allegedly having access to the

21
00:01:13,519 –> 00:01:16,840
data of US uses, interesting as it may be in

22
00:01:16,879 –> 00:01:20,439
the aspect of trying to apparently abuse freedom of association.

23
00:01:21,040 –> 00:01:25,040
United States government under President Donald Trump has revoked and

24
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:30,000
denied visa to Palestinian President Mamoodabs and eighty other Palestinian

25
00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:33,319
authorities inider for them probably not being able to attend

26
00:01:33,359 –> 00:01:36,879
the United Nations General Assembly meeting to speak out their

27
00:01:36,959 –> 00:01:41,079
minds against israel war in Gaza and other Palestinian territory,

28
00:01:41,359 –> 00:01:44,439
but other world leaders on Friday, in a vote of

29
00:01:44,519 –> 00:01:48,120
one hundred and forty five against five, permitted the Palestinian

30
00:01:48,159 –> 00:01:52,480
President Mamoudabbs to address the World Assembly via video call

31
00:01:52,599 –> 00:01:56,000
next week. China is one of the biggest economies in

32
00:01:56,040 –> 00:01:59,159
the world. Has been on loggerhead with its major trade rival,

33
00:01:59,519 –> 00:02:03,000
the United States since twenty eighteen during the first tenure

34
00:02:03,040 –> 00:02:06,280
of President Donald Trump, and its loggerhead with US has

35
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:10,360
probably made China to maintain a strategic pro Russian position

36
00:02:10,439 –> 00:02:14,439
on the war in Ukraine, publicly claiming neutrality while allegedly

37
00:02:14,479 –> 00:02:19,879
providing essential economic and diplomatic support to Moscow. Reports indicated

38
00:02:19,879 –> 00:02:23,280
that Chinese officials privately admit that a Russian defeat would

39
00:02:23,319 –> 00:02:27,639
not serve Beijing’s interests, which center on its geopolitical rivalry

40
00:02:27,680 –> 00:02:33,080
with the United States. Also China’s state controlled media Shinwan

41
00:02:33,199 –> 00:02:38,199
News Agency, People’s Daily, China Central Television, which include China

42
00:02:38,280 –> 00:02:43,639
Global Television, China National Radio CNR, and China Radio International CREE,

43
00:02:44,039 –> 00:02:47,479
some of them always using the prominent social networking platform

44
00:02:47,560 –> 00:02:51,360
in China, the Waibo social media are frequently and apparently

45
00:02:51,439 –> 00:02:55,599
always amplifying Russian talking points, such as blaming and accusing

46
00:02:55,639 –> 00:02:59,840
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO of expansionist agenda and

47
00:03:00,080 –> 00:03:03,319
the US for allegedly creating the conflict between Russia and

48
00:03:03,479 –> 00:03:08,599
Ukraine on TikTok. As of September twenty twenty five, TikTok

49
00:03:08,680 –> 00:03:12,319
continues to operate in the US, while its owner, by Dance,

50
00:03:12,599 –> 00:03:15,719
negotiates a deal with American buyers to avoid a van.

51
00:03:16,560 –> 00:03:19,639
The social networking app, which has since become one of

52
00:03:19,639 –> 00:03:22,800
the most used social media platforms in the world due

53
00:03:22,840 –> 00:03:26,919
to its favorable algorithm that challenged older existing social media

54
00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:31,800
platforms for low distribution of user’s contents, was temporarily inaccessible

55
00:03:31,840 –> 00:03:35,479
in January twenty twenty five following a Supreme Court ruling,

56
00:03:35,560 –> 00:03:38,840
but was restored after President Donald Trump delayed the ban.

57
00:03:39,680 –> 00:03:43,439
A key deadline is set for December sixteenth, twenty twenty five,

58
00:03:43,919 –> 00:03:47,840
for a sale to be finalized. According to a close watcher,

59
00:03:48,199 –> 00:03:52,199
TikTok’s U S operations be severed from Chinese ownership. The

60
00:03:52,199 –> 00:03:55,960
Pecurium opinion positioned the case as one of new technologies

61
00:03:56,000 –> 00:04:00,680
with transformative capabilities. In truth, the case and the law

62
00:04:00,759 –> 00:04:05,280
it was ruling on represents more than that, regardless of

63
00:04:05,319 –> 00:04:09,479
how the implementation unfolds. The legal van on Chinese ownership

64
00:04:09,560 –> 00:04:13,000
of social media apps operating in the United States is

65
00:04:13,039 –> 00:04:16,199
an inflection point in the U S China tech rivalry,

66
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:21,000
with implications that extend beyond national security, data privacy, and

67
00:04:21,079 –> 00:04:25,160
the First Amendment. It signals a broader US strategy to

68
00:04:25,240 –> 00:04:32,079
counter China’s technological influence across industries like semiconductors, artificial intelligence AI,

69
00:04:32,439 –> 00:04:36,759
electric vehicles, and five G. We learned that a framework

70
00:04:36,839 –> 00:04:40,279
deal has been reached that would give American investors control

71
00:04:40,319 –> 00:04:43,759
of eighty percent of tik Tok, with Chinese firms retaining

72
00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:48,959
twenty percent ownership. Proposed buyers include Oracle, which already host

73
00:04:49,040 –> 00:04:52,360
tik Tok’s U S data and private equity firms like

74
00:04:52,439 –> 00:04:55,839
silver Lake, it would be recalled that. In April twenty

75
00:04:55,879 –> 00:05:00,399
twenty four, the US Congress pastor bipartisan law signed by

76
00:05:00,439 –> 00:05:04,360
then President Joe Biden that requires Chinese parent company by

77
00:05:04,519 –> 00:05:08,800
Dance to divest TikTok’s US operations or face a nationwide ban.

78
00:05:09,680 –> 00:05:13,519
The law was prompted by national security concerns over potential

79
00:05:13,639 –> 00:05:17,319
Chinese government access to American uses data and its ability

80
00:05:17,399 –> 00:05:21,759
to influence the platform’s algorithm. Wikipedia, in the summary of

81
00:05:21,800 –> 00:05:25,720
the China U S Trade War, indicated that an economic

82
00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:29,199
conflict between China and the United States has been ongoing

83
00:05:29,279 –> 00:05:33,319
since January twenty eighteen, when U S President Donald Trump

84
00:05:33,360 –> 00:05:36,839
began imposing tariffs and other trade barriers on China with

85
00:05:36,959 –> 00:05:39,319
the aim of forcing it to make changes to what

86
00:05:39,399 –> 00:05:42,839
the US has said a longstanding unfair trade practices and

87
00:05:42,920 –> 00:05:47,759
intellectual property theft. The first Trump administration stated that these

88
00:05:47,839 –> 00:05:51,319
practices may contribute to the U S China trade deficit

89
00:05:51,720 –> 00:05:54,879
and that the Chinese government requires the transfer of American

90
00:05:54,959 –> 00:05:59,560
technology to China. In response to the trade measures, CCP

91
00:06:00,240 –> 00:06:04,920
Secretary Shi Jinping’s administration accused the Trump administration of engaging

92
00:06:04,959 –> 00:06:09,839
in nationalist protectionism and took retaliatory action. Following the trade

93
00:06:09,959 –> 00:06:13,800
war’s escalation through twenty nineteen, the two sides reached a

94
00:06:13,959 –> 00:06:18,240
tense Phase one agreement in January twenty twenty. However, a

95
00:06:18,319 –> 00:06:21,360
temporary collapse in goods trade around the globe during the

96
00:06:21,399 –> 00:06:25,240
COVID nineteen pandemic, together with a short recession, diminished the

97
00:06:25,360 –> 00:06:28,279
chance of meeting the target. China failed to buy the

98
00:06:28,319 –> 00:06:32,120
two hundred billion dollars worth of additional imports specified as

99
00:06:32,160 –> 00:06:35,600
part of it. By the end of Trump’s first presidency,

100
00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:39,800
the trade war was widely characterized by American media outlets

101
00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:43,759
as a failure for the United States. The Biden administration

102
00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:46,920
kept the tariffs in place and added additional levies on

103
00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:51,279
Chinese goods such as electric vehicles and solar panels. In

104
00:06:51,319 –> 00:06:55,560
twenty twenty four, the Trump presidential campaign proposed a sixty

105
00:06:55,600 –> 00:06:59,920
percent tariff on Chinese goods. Twenty twenty five marked as

106
00:07:00,079 –> 00:07:04,120
significant escalation of the conflict. Under the second Trump administration,

107
00:07:04,959 –> 00:07:08,279
a series of increasing tariffs led to the US imposing

108
00:07:08,279 –> 00:07:11,480
a one hundred and forty five percent tariff on Chinese

109
00:07:11,560 –> 00:07:14,800
goods and China imposing a one hundred and twenty five

110
00:07:14,839 –> 00:07:18,680
percent tariff on American goods in response. These measures of

111
00:07:18,759 –> 00:07:21,759
forecast to cause a zero point two percent loss of

112
00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:27,240
global merchandise trade. Despite this, both countries have excluded certain

113
00:07:27,279 –> 00:07:30,199
items from their tariff lists and continue to try and

114
00:07:30,279 –> 00:07:33,839
find a resolution to the trade war. In a statement

115
00:07:33,920 –> 00:07:38,000
through his Truth social media network on Friday, President Trump

116
00:07:38,040 –> 00:07:41,439
said in quotes that I just completed a very productive

117
00:07:41,519 –> 00:07:45,079
call with President Shi of China. We made progress on

118
00:07:45,199 –> 00:07:49,480
many very important issues, including trade, fentanyl, the need to

119
00:07:49,480 –> 00:07:51,959
bring the war between Russia and Ukraine to an end,

120
00:07:52,279 –> 00:07:55,720
and the approval of the TikTok deal. I also agreed

121
00:07:55,759 –> 00:07:58,079
with President Shee that we would meet at the APEX

122
00:07:58,120 –> 00:08:01,199
summit in South Korea, that I would go to China

123
00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:03,959
in the early part of next year, and the President

124
00:08:04,000 –> 00:08:07,199
she would likewise come to the United States at an

125
00:08:07,240 –> 00:08:10,959
appropriate time. The call was a very good one. We

126
00:08:11,040 –> 00:08:14,759
will be speaking again by phone. Appreciate the TikTok approval,

127
00:08:15,040 –> 00:08:18,959
and both look forward to meeting at APEX. On u

128
00:08:19,079 –> 00:08:23,319
S visa denial to Palestine President Mahmoud Abbess, it would

129
00:08:23,360 –> 00:08:26,959
be recalled that Mahmood Abbess became the President of Palestine

130
00:08:27,040 –> 00:08:30,160
in two thousand and five, and barely two years into

131
00:08:30,160 –> 00:08:34,159
his administration, the Hamas started governing the Gaza Strip. After

132
00:08:34,159 –> 00:08:37,720
the Harmas took over the Palestinian Gaza stripped territory from

133
00:08:37,720 –> 00:08:42,000
the rival Fatto ruled Palestinian Authority PA on the fourteenth

134
00:08:42,039 –> 00:08:45,320
of June two thousand and seven, until the current Israel

135
00:08:45,440 –> 00:08:48,919
War in Gaza that started since October twenty twenty three,

136
00:08:49,360 –> 00:08:52,320
during which Hamas appeared to have lost control of most

137
00:08:52,360 –> 00:08:56,840
of the territory. The administration of United States President Donald

138
00:08:56,879 –> 00:08:59,960
Trump announced in August twenty twenty five it was denial

139
00:09:00,159 –> 00:09:04,360
and revoking visas for members of the Palestine Liberation Organization

140
00:09:04,960 –> 00:09:09,120
PLO and the Palestinian Authority PA before the United Nations

141
00:09:09,159 –> 00:09:14,279
General Assembly UNNGA in September. The announcement was made in

142
00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:17,320
a statement released by the U S Department of State.

143
00:09:18,080 –> 00:09:21,960
According to the statement, the Trump Administration has been clear

144
00:09:22,399 –> 00:09:25,159
it is in our national security interests to hold the

145
00:09:25,159 –> 00:09:28,960
PLO and per accountable for not complying with their commitments

146
00:09:29,240 –> 00:09:33,559
and for undermining the prospects for peace. The Palestinian government

147
00:09:33,639 –> 00:09:37,679
responded in the Abbess’s office called the visa decision astonishing

148
00:09:38,120 –> 00:09:40,840
and a violation of the nineteen forty seven u N

149
00:09:41,000 –> 00:09:45,000
Headquarters Agreement, which requires the US to allow access for

150
00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:50,240
foreign diplomats. Reuter’s International News Agency on Friday reported that

151
00:09:50,679 –> 00:09:54,159
the United Nations General Assembly voted on Friday to allow

152
00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:57,879
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbys to address the annual gathering of

153
00:09:57,960 –> 00:10:01,639
World leaders next week via video after the United States

154
00:10:01,679 –> 00:10:04,039
said it would not give him a visa to travel

155
00:10:04,120 –> 00:10:08,120
to New York. The resolution received one hundred and forty

156
00:10:08,120 –> 00:10:11,600
five votes in favor and five votes against, while six

157
00:10:11,679 –> 00:10:15,799
countries abstained. It also allows ABIs and any other high

158
00:10:15,919 –> 00:10:19,240
level Palestinian officials to take part in u N meetings

159
00:10:19,320 –> 00:10:22,240
or conferences via video over the next year if they

160
00:10:22,240 –> 00:10:26,240
are prevented from traveling to the United States. The US

161
00:10:26,360 –> 00:10:29,720
said last month that Abbis and about eighty other Palestinians

162
00:10:29,720 –> 00:10:32,480
would be affected by its decision to deny and revoke

163
00:10:32,639 –> 00:10:36,840
visas from members of the Umbrella Palestine Liberation Organization and

164
00:10:36,879 –> 00:10:41,440
the West Bank based Palestinian Authority. US opposition to this

165
00:10:41,559 –> 00:10:46,360
resolution should come as no surprise. US diplomat Jonathan Schreier

166
00:10:46,440 –> 00:10:50,360
said before the vote, the Trump administration has been clear

167
00:10:50,840 –> 00:10:54,679
we must hold the PLO and Palestinian authority accountable for

168
00:10:54,759 –> 00:10:58,279
not complying with their commitments under the Oslo Accords, some

169
00:10:58,320 –> 00:11:01,320
of them very basic, and for an undermining the prospects

170
00:11:01,320 –> 00:11:06,279
for peace. Under a nineteen forty seven U n Headquarters agreement,

171
00:11:06,679 –> 00:11:09,720
the US is generally required to allow access for foreign

172
