Win Htein:
(foreign language)

2
00:00:02,936 --> 00:00:05,276
Welcome to West
Wing Week.

3
00:00:05,271 --> 00:00:06,571
Narrator: Welcome to
the West Wing Week,

4
00:00:06,573 --> 00:00:07,743
your guide to everything
that's happening

5
00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:11,681
at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
and deep into the Far East.

6
00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:14,048
This week, the President issued
a statement on net neutrality,

7
00:00:14,047 --> 00:00:16,187
convened both congressional
leaders and his

8
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:18,682
cabinet to discuss the
agenda in the years ahead,

9
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:21,555
and dove into an eight-day
trip to China, Burma,

10
00:00:21,554 --> 00:00:24,154
and Australia, to foster
deeper relations with

11
00:00:24,157 --> 00:00:26,397
countries around the
Pacific, and open up markets

12
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:29,163
and opportunities for American
businesses here at home.

13
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:31,462
It's November 7th
to November 13th,

14
00:00:31,464 --> 00:00:33,564
or "The future
that we see."

15
00:00:33,566 --> 00:00:35,566
The President: That future
is one where our success

16
00:00:35,568 --> 00:00:39,308
is defined less by armies
and less by bureaucrats,

17
00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:42,405
and more by entrepreneurs
and innovators, by dreamers,

18
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:45,349
and doers, by business
leaders who focus as much

19
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:48,615
on the workers they
empower as the prosperity

20
00:00:48,615 --> 00:00:49,615
that they create.

21
00:00:49,616 --> 00:00:51,486
That's the future
that we see.

22
00:00:51,484 --> 00:00:52,684
That's why we're here.

23
00:00:52,685 --> 00:00:54,255
Narrator: On Friday,
in the Cabinet Room,

24
00:00:54,254 --> 00:00:56,224
the President convened a
meeting of, you guessed it,

25
00:00:56,222 --> 00:00:58,992
his cabinet, where he outlined
for them one of the top

26
00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:01,462
priorities for the remainder
of his second term.

27
00:01:01,461 --> 00:01:02,531
The President: People
sometimes feel

28
00:01:02,529 --> 00:01:05,699
as if the federal
government is distant

29
00:01:05,698 --> 00:01:07,438
and it's not
customer-friendly, that

30
00:01:07,434 --> 00:01:10,404
there's too much bureaucracy.

31
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:13,503
And because of the fine
work of many of the members

32
00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:15,106
of this cabinet,
what we've been able

33
00:01:15,108 --> 00:01:17,678
to do is start chipping
away at some of the old

34
00:01:17,677 --> 00:01:20,147
ways of doing business,
and start its new ways

35
00:01:20,146 --> 00:01:22,886
of doing business that
improve customer service,

36
00:01:22,882 --> 00:01:24,852
that make sure the
people are getting

37
00:01:24,851 --> 00:01:25,981
the help they need.

38
00:01:25,985 --> 00:01:27,885
Narrator: Then the President
convened the big 16,

39
00:01:27,887 --> 00:01:29,757
the leadership from both
parties and both

40
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:32,296
chambers of Congress, where
the President challenged

41
00:01:32,292 --> 00:01:34,262
them to put forward
their best ideas to make

42
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:36,160
the federal government
work better for

43
00:01:36,162 --> 00:01:37,502
the American people.

44
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:39,567
Saturday and Sunday,
it was time to travel

45
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:41,806
to the other side of the
globe, where in Beijing,

46
00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:44,271
the President kicked off
this dizzying weeklong

47
00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:46,840
trip through China,
Burma, and Australia.

48
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,210
This West Wing Week will
only get us as far as China

49
00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:51,979
and Burma, so be sure
to tune in next week

50
00:01:51,978 --> 00:01:53,748
to catch up with the
rest of the trip.

51
00:01:53,746 --> 00:01:54,916
Here we go.

52
00:01:54,914 --> 00:01:57,054
The President's three days in
Beijing began with a bilateral

53
00:01:57,050 --> 00:02:00,020
meeting with the newly-elected
president of Indonesia.

54
00:02:00,019 --> 00:02:01,789
Then it was on to the U.S.
embassy for a meeting

55
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:03,458
with the leaders of
the Trans-Pacific

56
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:06,426
Partnership countries, a
second bilateral meeting

57
00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:08,766
with the Australian prime
minister, and a meeting

58
00:02:08,761 --> 00:02:10,831
with American veterans,
who serve our country

59
00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:12,470
at our embassy
in Beijing.

60
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:13,965
The President: To all of you,
I just wanted you to know

61
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:17,067
that our commitment is to
make sure that we serve you

62
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,240
as well as you serve us.

63
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:22,608
And to show you
how committed I am,

64
00:02:22,609 --> 00:02:26,009
this applies even to
the guy who is wearing

65
00:02:26,012 --> 00:02:27,142
a Packers tie --

66
00:02:27,146 --> 00:02:29,316
(laughter)

67
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:32,250
Male Speaker: Sorry
sir, I had to.

68
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:33,122
Narrator: Later, the
President traveled

69
00:02:33,119 --> 00:02:35,089
to the Chinese National
Convention Center

70
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:37,928
to address the CEO Summit
of the Asia-Pacific

71
00:02:37,924 --> 00:02:41,324
Economic Cooperation,
better known as APEC.

72
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:43,097
Here, the President
announced a new visa

73
00:02:43,096 --> 00:02:45,366
arrangement between China
and the United States.

74
00:02:45,365 --> 00:02:46,965
The President: I'm very pleased
to announce that during my

75
00:02:46,966 --> 00:02:49,806
visit, the United States and
China have agreed to implement

76
00:02:49,802 --> 00:02:53,142
a new arrangement for visas
that will benefit everyone

77
00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:56,709
from students to tourists to
businesses, large and small.

78
00:02:56,709 --> 00:02:58,709
Narrator: That evening, or
early that morning back

79
00:02:58,711 --> 00:03:00,511
in the States, the President
took to the Internet,

80
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:03,413
and released a video
message on net neutrality.

81
00:03:03,416 --> 00:03:05,586
The President: The idea
of net neutrality has

82
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:08,485
unleashed the power of the
Internet and given innovators

83
00:03:08,488 --> 00:03:10,128
the chance to thrive.

84
00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:12,763
Abandoning these
principles would threaten

85
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,929
to end the Internet
as we know it.

86
00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:16,999
That's why I'm
laying out a plan

87
00:03:16,996 --> 00:03:19,066
to keep the Internet
free and open.

88
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:20,405
And that's why
I'm urging

89
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,300
the Federal Communications
Commission to do everything

90
00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:25,672
they can to protect net
neutrality for everyone.

91
00:03:25,672 --> 00:03:27,842
Narrator: On Tuesday morning,
the President attended

92
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,310
the APEC Leaders' Summit,
aimed at deepening

93
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:32,910
the United States' trade and
investment partnerships,

94
00:03:32,912 --> 00:03:35,182
which bring enormous
growth potential to U.S.

95
00:03:35,181 --> 00:03:37,821
businesses, large and small,
as well as enhancing

96
00:03:37,817 --> 00:03:41,317
our security as an enduring
Asia-Pacific power.

97
00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:43,221
In the event, the
official state visit with

98
00:03:43,222 --> 00:03:45,692
President Xi of China
began as the two leaders

99
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:47,632
engaged in informal
discussions regarding

100
00:03:47,627 --> 00:03:49,927
the importance of a
U.S.-China bilateral

101
00:03:49,929 --> 00:03:52,729
relationship that solves
global problems and lays

102
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:55,132
out a roadmap, which will
advance the economic

103
00:03:55,134 --> 00:03:57,634
and security ties of
both our countries.

104
00:04:05,278 --> 00:04:06,548
The President's last
day in China began

105
00:04:06,546 --> 00:04:08,786
at the Great Hall of the
People, where the official

106
00:04:08,781 --> 00:04:11,481
state visit continued with
a welcoming ceremony,

107
00:04:11,484 --> 00:04:13,524
additional meetings with
President Xi and one

108
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:15,959
with Premier Li,
before the two presidents

109
00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:18,995
hosted a rare, U.S.-style
news conference in Beijing,

110
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:21,292
including an announcement of
a bold new partnership

111
00:04:21,294 --> 00:04:23,364
between the world's
two largest economies

112
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:26,163
to combat climate change
in the 21st Century.

113
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:28,135
The President: We have a
special responsibility

114
00:04:28,134 --> 00:04:31,134
to lead the global effort
against climate change.

115
00:04:31,137 --> 00:04:33,537
That's why today I am proud
that we can announce

116
00:04:33,539 --> 00:04:34,679
an historic agreement.

117
00:04:34,674 --> 00:04:37,944
I commend President Xi,
his team, and the Chinese

118
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:41,214
government for the
commitment they are making,

119
00:04:41,214 --> 00:04:45,084
to slow, peak, and then
reverse the course

120
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:47,154
of China's carbon
emissions.

121
00:04:47,153 --> 00:04:49,693
Narrator: Later, the President
departed China for Burma.

122
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,929
That evening, he participated
in a working dinner with

123
00:04:51,924 --> 00:04:54,764
Southeast Asian leaders
who gathered for a summit.

124
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:57,301
If it's Thursday, it
must be Navy talk.

125
00:04:57,296 --> 00:04:59,396
The President opened the day
with a series of meetings

126
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,039
at the East Asia Summit
before continuing

127
00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:04,735
on to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations,

128
00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:06,507
or ASEAN Summit.

129
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:08,376
At each stop, the President
addressed maritime

130
00:05:08,374 --> 00:05:11,774
territorial disputes, and
encouraged regional leadership

131
00:05:11,778 --> 00:05:14,278
on challenges, such as the
counter-ISIL campaign,

132
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,050
and the Ebola epidemic.

133
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:17,519
Want to know what
happens next?

134
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:18,547
So do we.

135
00:05:18,551 --> 00:05:20,621
And the best way is to stay
engaged with us online.

136
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,860
And remember, you can find
out more information about

137
00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:25,495

And thanks again for checking

141
00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:31,796
Children: Obama!

142
00:05:31,798 --> 00:05:32,968
Obama!

143
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:34,035
The President: There's
about to be a riot.

144
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:38,839
(applause)

145
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:43,608
The President: I was very
impressed with the chants.

146
00:05:43,609 --> 00:05:44,649
(laughter)

147
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:46,384
The President: I heard
them way down at the end

148
00:05:46,379 --> 00:05:48,019
of the hallway and
started coming running.

149
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:48,544
I didn't want --

150
00:05:48,548 --> 00:05:49,848
(laughter)

151
00:05:49,849 --> 00:05:51,319
The President: I
thought there was going

152
00:05:51,317 --> 00:05:52,317
to be a riot right
upfront here.
