so he wanted to try to keep him in the pacific and let the army have some kind of role in the pacific war. and what they decided to do was essentially divide the pacific war into two theaters. would be the central pacific theater of operations headquartered at pearl harbor and under the command of admiral chester nimitz. then there would be the southwest pacific theater headquartered in australia and under the command of douglas macarthur. and these two theaters the navy would advance across the central pacific from the gilberts to the marshalls to the marianna islands to set up the offensive that would target the japanese home islands and macarthur's forces. would advance up the solomon islands new guinea. so ultimately in the direction of the philippines and macarthur of course was determined to return to the philippines when he left the philippines early in march of 1942. he promised i shall return and of course he had this long family and personal background with the philippines and he was determined to go back and liberate that area from japanese occupation. now from 1942 until t

there is no indo-pacific in beijing's conception. the region is, in fact, included as part of china's periphery. the term itself is very telling about the chinese perspective. china is at the center, and at the top of a 360-degree peripheral zone that expands over both the continental and maritime domains. >> i don't know who's talking but i somebody else talking over me and i got cut off and i still hear a woman's voice. >> hi, dr. haass. we lost you for a moment of their because of technical difficulties so we moved on to ms. rolland to do her testimony. after she finishes will come back to you, dr. haass and let you do your full testimony, if that works. we lost you. great. go ahead, dr. rowland. >> thank you, sir. let's think of executive graphic extent of this periphery and the kind of future the chinese anticipates hope to see for it. in order to get a a better understanding of the chinese leaderships object is for the region, one needs to look back over a decade ago. any the aftermath of the 2000 a global financial crisis, chi

we go through the battle of the pacific and ron was a captain on of the vietnam and a war historian. he and i traveled together and he knows the battle inside and out. i wanted to be sure that it was militarily sound the way that we were writing about these battles and then also regular people just learning about these stories for the first time so he was absolutely integral in making sure that it was militarily sound and i worked to make sure that it was accessible to people like me. >> may be this is just me. i feel like i've read a lot about world war ii both from a nonfiction perspective. people had a familiarity. when the bombs were dropping it was devastating to see hitler marching and made people wonder is that going to happen on fifth avenue and it well could have. that is where this was headed but the pacific was a darker and more mysterious place and news traveled more slowly. all of the stories took a while to get back home but it's become a great interest of mine. i think this is a great series for anyone that wants to learn more about this period to get that visual of wh

and the fears they had were the unknown pacific. this is very early in pacific whaling. the only thing they knew about islands were rumors of cannibals. the nantucketers had taketen farther than anyone else, when it came the exploration of the world and they're very conservative. they built their knowledge incremental and unless they could hear it from someone they knew, they didn't trust that information. the one thing they did know was the sea, whale boats and whale ships. so, when forced to it, just as you described, here's a whale boat right here. this boat is from a later era, much larger than the essex whale boats were, which are only 25 feet long. and they built up their size so a large wave wouldn't necessarily flood it. these boats were not yet equipped with sails. they turned them into spooners and off they went. finally falling into the only thing they knew to get back to a civilized coast. and so, for me, the story of the essex is a tale of human survival. but as you eluded to, these guys had tremendous skills but ultimately it would be nature to call the sho

stress on the free and open and the pacific in their joint statement off of the meetings. a greater cooperation between the u.s. and japanese navy is to keep syrians open. well i mean they are allies longstanding allies so the establishment of the quad which is the security element of the free and open into pacific. basically hasn't necessarily changed that much in terms of bilateral mabel cooperation when it does do is bring in australia and india but it you know really is not inclined to project its naval power beyond the indian ocean so much that's much of a game changer so the idea here is the quad in the free and open in the pacific is about containing china and countering its rise and beijing i think up until now remains undeterred and not particularly impressed by the korean your current show offer came up for discussion during a talk from europe talked about a trilateral approach involving south korea how will this move forward given the significant differences between japan and south korea. yes by letter relations between tokyo and seoul are the worst i've ever se

and the fears they all had, where the unknown pacific. it was early pacific whaling. the only thing they knew about the silence, were that there were some cannibals. and the people from nantucket were very adventuresome. when it came to the exploration of the world. but they were also very conservative. they built their knowledge, incrementally. unless they could hear it from someone they knew, they did not trust it they didn't trust that information. so the one thing they did know, was the sea, well boats and will ships. and so, when forced to it just as you described, here's a will boat right here. this vote is from a leader era. it's much larger than the essex will boats were. they were only 25 feet long. they built up their size, so a large wave wouldn't necessarily let it. and these boats were not yet equipped with sales. but they rigged up their own sales. and they turn them into scooters. and off they went. finally falling into the only thing that they knew. get back to a civilized coast. so for me the story of the essex is a tale of human survival. and as you

strategy as a concert of the diplomacy then president joe biden and his team his into china pacific theme is practically the lodges in the national security council will have a lot on its belly scott where do things stand right now when it comes to the relationship between the u.s. and south korea and how does that impact south korea's relationship with china. well i think that that component of secretary billikens travel was very interesting precisely because china was not mentioned in the public statements in contrast to the emphasis on china and japan and i think that that fact illustrates the sensitivity of south korea's balancing act between the u.s. and china. probably reflects some differences in terms of preferred instruments in approach and of course south korea also is now sitting outside the quiet even though it is a robust democracy and so that also i think. raises questions. are going to be hashed out i think over time and then of course there's the fact that this whole trip was really framed focusing on china and south korea's main security preoccupation as the threat

china's growing influence in the asia-pacific region drove much of the discussion.he final communique did not mention beijing, but voiced support for the rule of law, democracy, and a region unconstrained by coercion. let's bring in our guest. from washington dc, scott snyder, senior fellow for korea studies and director of the u.s.-korea policy program at the council on foreign relations. in beijing, the beijing bureau chief for newsweek. and the founder of strategic pan indo pacific arena and former director of political and security community in the asean secretary and. scott, let me start with you. it was quite a tense confrontation at the beginning of the meeting between the u.s. and china. how unexpected was that? >> i don't know that it was necessarily that unexpected. the biden administration has spent a week framing its engagements in asia and towards china, with the expectation that there are areas of concentration -- confrontation, there are areas of cooperation, and there will be an adversarial component to the relationship that will persist from the tru

among other things she's chair of the congressional asian pacific american caucus. congresswoman chu, you are recognized for five minutes. congresswoman chu, you need to unmute. unmute. ms. chu: thank you. thank you, chairman nadler, ranking member, ranking member johnson, and other distinguished members of the committee for the opportunity to testify before you today. it is with a heavy heart that we are here today still shocked and heartbroken about the murder of eight in georgia, including six asian american women, by a gunman who targeted three asian businesses. the first one being young's asian massage. then driving 27 miles to two other asian spas. his targets were no accident. and what we know is that this day was coming. and because of crimes like this, i, as chair of the congressional asian pacific american caucus urged the committee to undertake this hearing because the asian american community as reached a crisis point that cannot be ignored. since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, asian americans have been terrified by the alarming surge in anti-as
