and asserting claims against not just taiwan, but a variety of countries that border on the south chinaea. we have during the obama administration, we conducted very limited number of freedom of information -- freedom of navigation exercises in the south china sea. we became more aggressive in response to the chinese during the trump administration. and those exercises have continued under president biden. but i think -- i think xi jinping has decided that bringing hong kong and taiwan, bringing china into one china's integral parts is one of the objectives of his policy and his time in power. i think he sees this as his legacy. he's already moved against hong kong. so i think that the only thing that will work here is -- is for it to be clear that there is potentially a very high cost for china in trying to militarily take taiwan. and i personally believe the odds of an intentional takeover, a military attack on taiwan, at least for the foreseeable future, are actually pretty low. the consequences are just too catastrophic for china if the u.s. reacts. and they can't know how the u.s.

it is the stresses of china and taiwan in the south china sea out a good 13 years. aircraft in taiwanese airspace, it did move the markets. when we get that headline, doesn't move the needle of emotion in your hong kong? enda: good morning. it is another example of why china is such a flat point. these incursions do seem to be happening more frequently recently. the biden adminstration has been taking actions on taiwan, stepping up liaison, sending former u.s. officials into taiwan a few weeks ago. china has been pushing back hard, making clear it continues to push a line that considers taiwan to be part of its internal affairs, and pushes back against meddling. there's a shortage of semiconductors, so it is a massively important situation now to the u.s., to the economy, and china trying to advance its own semiconductor technology at the same time. so taiwan is absolutely the global flashpoint. there is no sign of a circuit breaker or that changing anytime soon. >> tom: tryon and chains like the economics between beijing, -- try and translate the economics between b

>> my two areas of most concern when it came to china with taiwan strait and the south china sea. we should clearly know that china considers taiwan part of china. i traveled to china many times in the past and served on the hill. to them it is indisputable part of their territory. it is on that bucket list of things they want to finalize. i was there at the handover in 1997 for hong kong, there was another one in a check that box years ago and now they are pulling hong kong closer in. it is a matter of concern, something we watch closely. i am confident in that. i will say this much. the taiwanese need to do more, increase their defense spending and spend on the right things and we look at ways to cooperate, that is one thing we've begun last summer, late summer, greater cooperation with taiwan and how we incorporate into our planning our allies and it begins with allies such as japan and australians and others but we have european allies that have a presence in the in the pacific like the brits and the french who can also play ball. we need to think more broadly about the defense

i think we see what china is doing on technology transfer and technology and trade in the south chinaea and on taiwan and on internal dissent and i guess the question is why? why do you think we are looking at a more aggressive china, a more aggressive posture that preceded your entry into office in this administration. why do you think that is the case now and what did you take away from the alaskan meeting that helped you perhaps answer that question? >> our assessment is that the chinese government has made a few determinations over the last five years or so and those determinations are guiding foreign policy. first, that the policy should be a more aggressive posture in terms of their military deployment and their intimidation and coercion of neighbors in the end of pacific so they made that determination, in part because they felt that the capabilities had grown and in part, because it had lessened . second, they made a determination to shift increasingly in the direction of state control in their economy , and that was the determination driven by a sense of a political model, an
