if you look forward to the future you’re going to see even more jobs in the United States today created because of if need for us to meet that growing demand we’re seeing in China
FYI, the whole sentence is
That’s what you see happening, that’s why we’re exporting so much to China already, and that’s why our exports are growing so rapidly and that’s why we’re so confident that if you look forward to the future you’re going to see even more jobs in the United States today created because of if need for us to meet that growing demand we’re seeing in China.
What I cannot understand is only the finial part, showing in Italic.

A tip: this site has a transcript.
“United States Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Vice Premier of China Wang Qishan discuss their recent meetings regarding U.S.-Chinese diplomatic relations”
Answer
As written, it makes no sense. The second if in the italicised part should be replaced with the:
if you look forward to the future you’re going to see even more jobs in the United States today created because of the need for us to meet that growing demand we’re seeing in China
But that’s not the only issue. It doesn’t make sense to say that you can see something is going to happen today by looking forward to the future. I believe the speaker just didn’t think the sentence through before they said it. The italicised part could be simplified and rewritten as:
to meet China’s growing demand, more jobs will be created in the United States
