Prime Minister, saying it

would safeguard jobs and living

0:00:000:00:02

Now on BBC News, all the latest

business news live from Singapore.

0:00:020:00:07

Day two of the world mobile Congress

in Barcelona. We find out what they

0:00:150:00:21

have to say about the US ban on its

product. New Zealand public finance

0:00:210:00:26

minister tells us what the GBP would

mean for the best TPB would mean for

0:00:260:00:30

the country's economy. Good morning,

Asia, and hello world. Clad you

0:00:300:00:40

could join us for this edition of

Asia business report. It is Tuesday,

0:00:400:00:43

and I am Rico he's on. We start off

with the world mobile Congress in

0:00:430:00:49

Barcelona today, and American

politicians have been accused of

0:00:490:00:54

barring the company from the US

market for commercial reasons.

0:00:540:00:58

Operators have been warned from

stalking him, mobile phones over

0:00:580:01:05

concerns that the company is too

close to the Chinese government. The

0:01:050:01:08

firm insists it's independent that

it's mobile boss told Rory Katlyn

0:01:080:01:12

Jones that they have big ambitions,

whatever happens in America.

Every

0:01:120:01:20

year, we have strong growth, every

year. We have a chance to be number

0:01:200:01:25

one, not far away.

You think you can

be number 11 date with global

0:01:250:01:31

smartphones?

For sure. We have a

chance.

What are the problems with

0:01:310:01:35

you achieving that, trying to get

into the United States market. You

0:01:350:01:40

are nowhere in the Dutch in the

united states market because

0:01:400:01:43

American politicians do not trust

you. Why do you think that is?

0:01:430:01:46

Because some guy, some political

things are trying to keep us out

0:01:460:01:53

because we are too competitive. We

have leading technology, so they

0:01:530:01:59

worry about that, we are too strong.

Is that why American politicians

0:01:590:02:03

want to keep you out, because you

are too competitive, or they worry

0:02:030:02:07

that you are too close to the

Chinese government?

They are trying

0:02:070:02:10

to say that, but we are actually

independent of the company, so those

0:02:100:02:18

political things, to keep us out...

You are one of the leading Chinese

0:02:180:02:23

companies in advancing artificial

intelligence. Is China going to be a

0:02:230:02:26

superpower in AI? One of the things

you are showing off this week is a

0:02:260:02:37

car with a phone in it, which is

basically making the autonomous car

0:02:370:02:42

work. What are you trying to

demonstrate there?

We are

0:02:420:02:47

demonstrating AI capability on a

smartphone, how AI on a smartphone

0:02:470:02:51

is really amazing. It is not smart

enough, the smartphone, and we hope

0:02:510:02:59

that in the future, and AIA

smartphone to be an intelligent

0:02:590:03:02

phone.

What is your prediction in

five years from now, will you

0:03:020:03:07

dominate the mobile phone industry,

and will it be in an American market

0:03:070:03:11

in a significant way?

I think both.

We can be number one globally.

He

0:03:110:03:23

was speaking to Rick Allen Jones. A

recent government report says New

0:03:230:03:28

Zealand could see $4 billion added

to the economy with a revised

0:03:280:03:33

transpacific partnership kicks in

later this year. Let us -- that is

0:03:330:03:37

welcome news for the New Zealand

economy, where growth is inspected

0:03:370:03:39

to slow out -- slow donated this

year. Earlier I spoke to the country

0:03:390:03:44

-- company's new finance minister, I

asked him if the TPB would make a

0:03:440:03:48

difference to the country's bottom

line.

I think the countries that

0:03:480:03:52

have stayed the course with New

Zealand, Canada, Chile, countries

0:03:520:03:56

like that, Singapore, they know that

there are good benefits for them in

0:03:560:04:00

this agreement. An actual effect for

some countries, the US withdrawal

0:04:000:04:04

means is area is easier to sign up

other areas. Buffer New Zealand, we

0:04:040:04:10

are a small country, a trading

nation, and we need agreements like

0:04:100:04:12

this to grow our prosperity.

But if

the United States was of the TPP,

0:04:120:04:17

this should be adding a lot more

cash into the coffers. Do you think

0:04:170:04:24

President Trump will ever change his

mind and rejoin TPP?

That is very

0:04:240:04:28

difficult to know the answer, but

what we are pleased about is a good

0:04:280:04:32

quality agreement has been signed by

11 countries. If the US wants to

0:04:320:04:36

come back and to the agreement at

some point in the future, that

0:04:360:04:39

remains possible, but we have an

agreement that will open up access

0:04:390:04:43

to markets for our exporters and

service providers, as it will for

0:04:430:04:47

other countries. It is a high

quality agreement now, and New

0:04:470:04:50

Zealand is proud to be a part of

the.

There is lots of talk will be

0:04:500:04:54

-- that the UK will be interested in

joining the revised TPP after

0:04:540:05:00

Brexit, are they welcomed?

All

countries who want to be part of the

0:05:000:05:04

agreement are welcome to be there.

We have to get it signed obviously

0:05:040:05:08

and ratified first, but New Zealand

is looking forward to discussing

0:05:080:05:12

with the UK a possible trade

agreement. It is important for New

0:05:120:05:17

Zealand to develop agreements with

the EU following Brexit, both are

0:05:170:05:23

important markets for our exporters.

Let's look at the New Zealand

0:05:230:05:26

economy, the new government is

taking a tough stance towards

0:05:260:05:31

immigration and property purchases

by foreigners. Would this second --

0:05:310:05:35

impact economic growth?

But we have

had for the last nine years is a

0:05:350:05:39

major housing crisis. New Zealand

has had high homeownership rates in

0:05:390:05:43

the past, we are many tens of

thousands of houses were of all we

0:05:430:05:49

need. So part of what we have done

is put in some new rules and

0:05:490:05:53

criteria around existing residential

housing, similar to the rules in

0:05:530:05:58

Australia, and we are putting them

in place now to ensure that New

0:05:580:06:00

Zealanders can buy their own homes.

What we still want our people coming

0:06:000:06:05

from countries around the world to

invest in building new housing and

0:06:050:06:10

supporting us to build our

infrastructure. We very much need

0:06:100:06:12

that kind of investment.

It was New

Zealand's finance Minister Greg

0:06:120:06:18

Roberson. China's top economic

adviser of drives into the USA today

0:06:180:06:22

to try to smooth tensions between

the two countries over trade.

0:06:220:06:28

Discussions between the White House

will take place as President Trump

0:06:280:06:32

continues this considers new tariffs

on Chinese steel imports. So what

0:06:320:06:39

kind of reception can he expect?

Is

likely to be quite frosty because we

0:06:390:06:45

have seen increasingly tough talk on

both sides. Not just that, on the US

0:06:450:06:51

side of talks, we have Robert light,

who is known to be a China hawk,

0:06:510:06:56

meaning he is very aggressive in the

stance towards China, and trying to

0:06:560:07:01

address trade imbalances. The US

side, the trust and believes there

0:07:010:07:04

has been more talk about reform and

not enough action to the dish to

0:07:040:07:07

address the fact that China has a

huge trade surplus with America, and

0:07:070:07:11

they want to narrow that. Now the

man traveling is hopefully the right

0:07:110:07:16

person to smooth over -- over these

tensions, because he is very senior.

0:07:160:07:19

He is a trained at Harvard

economist, he is also a very trusted

0:07:190:07:23

confidant of President seizing ping,

and China's annual meeting, he is

0:07:230:07:30

inspected to be promoted to vice

Senior Premier. According to

0:07:300:07:36

Reuters, he is also the front runner

to be the next governor of China's

0:07:360:07:40

Central Bank after the current

governor -- Governor retires. There

0:07:400:07:43

is a lot more for him destined to

discuss, including the possibility

0:07:430:07:48

of the US putting new tariffs on

Chinese steel, as well as this fight

0:07:480:07:53

over intellectual property practices

in China. So lots for them to talk

0:07:530:07:56

about.

China and the US are always

at loggerheads in many ways --

0:07:560:08:01

issues. They you for the update. A

few years ago, it was revealed that

0:08:010:08:07

North Korea had just a handful of

websites, and minimal

0:08:070:08:12

infrastructure. A new report from

cyber security firm fire eyes

0:08:120:08:16

suggests that has not stopped the

country from making trouble.

0:08:160:08:19

Business reporter Monica Miller

spoke to Bryce Bolton, the firm's

0:08:190:08:23

Asia-Pacific -- chief officer, who

told her the hackers from the hermit

0:08:230:08:29

state are becoming more

sophisticated.

You do not need to

0:08:290:08:33

have a massive investment in

informational warfare to be very

0:08:330:08:36

effective. In North Korea, to

recognize that a decade ago, and

0:08:360:08:41

started investigate that investing

in their cyber warfare. What we're

0:08:410:08:45

seeing today is the fruits of their

investment.

Are there third parties

0:08:450:08:49

involved? Are the North Koreans

working with another country or

0:08:490:08:53

individuals or corporations to make

this all happened?

It is clear that

0:08:530:08:56

they are able to learn from what

other countries have been doing, and

0:08:560:09:02

they have had relationships in the

past with China and Russia, and they

0:09:020:09:05

may well be also using relationships

with ironic, also an emerging cyber

0:09:050:09:12

power over the last few years.

You

are describing something that flies

0:09:120:09:16

under the radar, it if it is tough

to detect, what are signs that your

0:09:160:09:21

computer has been impacted.

Today,

you have two modes of operation for

0:09:210:09:29

attackers, a targeted attack going

under the radar to steal information

0:09:290:09:31

that could be used for your

advantage in informational warfare,

0:09:310:09:35

but we also now have crypto

currencies, creating a massive

0:09:350:09:41

opportunity for countries like North

Korea to extract value from

0:09:410:09:45

computers anywhere in the world,

they can turn this computers into

0:09:450:09:50

crypto currency minors, and use

those to extract money from the

0:09:500:09:55

compute power that they have

co-opted. There is a term for this

0:09:550:09:59

called crypto jacking, and it is

becoming a new nuisance for

0:09:590:10:04

organizations, and what you are

seeing with crypto jacking is your

0:10:040:10:07

CPU system will... That is

relatively easy to find and easy to

0:10:070:10:12

stop.

Let's look at the Asian stock

markets, currently all headed north.

0:10:120:10:26

After major gains on Wall Street

overnight. Thank you so much for

0:10:260:10:29

investing your time with us, I am
