china announced the adiz. newly announced diz even though it overlapped with the adizs and includes japan.ry administered by we do not accept the legitimacy requirements for newly declared adiz and china caused confusion the increase of the accidents underlines the need rescind the procedures. and our actions have demonstrated, we believe these provocations are and e risks of provocation we don't accept the legitimacy of what china announced. we're holding important meetings. > carrying that specific message you just had directly to the chinese leaders? >> yes. that with the re regulation of the civilian aircraft. identify and go to the the china has now requested even though it does not recognize and consider adiz invalid? >> for safety and security of passengers, u.s. carriers operating internationally perate consistent with notices to airmen issued by foreign countries. however, and let me be clear, in no way indicates u.s. government acceptance of china's in the newly declared adiz and has no bearing the f

and when we run into dangers -- and this is why this unilateral decision by china to impose adiz wasdone just exactly that way, unilaterally trying to influence the status quo without any consultation, without any collaboration or cooperation, that's what makes all of this so dangerous, when that happens. so we're continuing to stay committed. we are committed. we will be committed, as i've made very clear in my comments and in our meeting today. minister? >> well, i said that the u.s. presence in -- from singapore's point of view is critical for stability in the asia pacific region. we've also said that the china- u.s. relationship is the relationship that will impact all countries, as well as the stability. we are very cheered by comments from president obama and xi jinping, president xi, that the pacific region is big enough to accommodate both a resident power and a rising power. there will be strategic competition, but secretary hagel and i discussed at length how we need to use the platforms to make sure that -- reduce the risk of miscalculation, that we don't precipitate tensi

i think if hillary clinton were still secretary of state there is no adiz right now. >> rose: really? >> i believe that, yeah, i do. >> rose: they would have feared her influence to respond. >> they would have feared that the americans an japanese would have taken a completely a inlooed position and that would have undermined the chinese, yes. >> rose: are they testing us? >> i think they're testing japan. >> rose: clearly they're testing japan. >> they're testing us a little am they want to see if there is flexibility. they see that american foreign policy is in decline right now. the american economy is not but they understand that after snowden and after syria and after the government shutdown, obama doesn't go to apec and the secretary term team, they see that the u.s.,-- . >> rose: because obama was not able to go to asia because of the government shutdown? >> well, they don't like tpp, the transpacific partnership. and there's no question that obama not going delayed that. the malaysians were very unhappy. the end noorbians were very unhappy that he-- indonesians were very unhap

the south koreans announced an extension of their air defense identification zone, adiz.ithhat of china and japanese are not backing off at all. it is very unclear what the united states position in it all is. >> historically we've always ben the force that goes in there one of the problems with diminish the military as inclination to do, you don't have resources to put a carrier group i there, what have you, to sort of kp peace. my sense all of these countries are about-face. they will not back off. there is a lot of historil bad blood. my sense it is not a good situation. it will not get to abeor situation in the short run. lou: and, michael the fact that we have as i raised with brad or in the broadcast earlier, we have the nsa being bese beseeched by, i will be nice about it, beseeched by eight technology companies to stop theirurveillance and just back off. your reaction first the idea there would be a cadre of technology compaes that would think that their interests somehow would be better represented, should be better reprented than those the @ati? >> lou, i think

withoutnounced the adiz higher consultation, even though it overlaps with parts of the of taiwan,ng adiz's japan, and korea. we do not accept the legitimacy of china's requirements for operating in the newly declared adiz, and the fact that china's announcement has caused confusion and increased the risk of asking its only underscores the validity of our concerns and the need for china to rescind the procedures. as we have repeatedly said, and our actions have demonstrated, we believe that these kinds of provocations are creating a risk in miscalculation. accept the legitimacy of what china announced. the vice president is in the region and as you know, holding important meetings. >> have you given that message to the chinese leaders? >> yes. can you go through the procedures that china has now requested, even though does not recognize and considers it a valid? >> for the safety and security of passengers, u.s. carriers operating internationally operate consistent with notices to airmen issued by foreign countries. thiser, that may be clear, in no way indicates u.s. government acceptance o

get china not to declare any more of these adizs, any of these zones that need to be done.a gives guidance to all commercial carriers in all cases where defense zones are placing the priority of, you know, those citizens lives at higher risk and these kind of broader geopolitical questions. but from a defense and military perspective, the united states and japan are on the same page, that they won't -- they won't see that zone. they won't act as if that zone exists. so while that may seem incon grewous, the white house believes that it is, and i think that what they've done and what joe biden did with xi jinping is to explain to him how potentially destabilizing this is and have that try and sink in. and at least try to move china to a position where it responds less aggressively to those aircraft that come in and consider the nature of its response and how quickly this can escalate. as you said, while this may be just a few rocks, five little islands out in the middle of nowhere for many, this has become a really national cause deep, deep, deep in the soul of those that se

so they're skirting the notion that anything different is being done with regard to this china adiz.ains that, you know, usair carriers have been beginning to issue these flight plans to the chinese and the japanese airlines have not. and today prime minister abe said that he would not get in the way or, you know, certainly wouldn't condone any efforts to put commercial aircraft passengers in danger, which was a signal, we think, that he's finally acquiescing to the fact that the rules of the road for the u.s. or the faa is going to -- you know, that these u.s. airliners are going to give. but it appeared to many in japan like this was appeasement to china of this new air defense identification zone. >> it's interesting. caroline kennedy, the new u.s. ambassador to japan, essentially the first days on the job and she's being thrown into sort of this diplomatic issue here and dispute, essentially, where the japanese obviously want the united states to stand by them in a way that right now it appears the u.s. isn't prepared to do. how is she handling this? >> well, we saw her a few tim

i've spoken to our allies about the chinese adiz. as to your question as the bigger picture, first, i don't know. but i would focus on one particular area here that general dempsey and the chiefs have put a lot of effort into and was very much a centerpiece of the conversation between president xi and president obama a few months ago. and that is developing a strong multi-military relationship between the pla and united states. we have been working at that, both sides actually, and you might recall that my counterpart, the chinese defense minister was here in august, and i hosted him here. and i've seen him two other times in the asia-pacific, where with me during those occasions. we are working toward a stronger relationship to build some mechanisms to address some of these tension issues, which probably are not going to get any less complicated in the east and south china sea. it's important for china, japan, south korea, all the nations in this area, to stay calm and responsible. these are combustible issues. that's been a role th

go through the procedures that china has now even though it does not recognize and considers this adiz invalid? >> for safety and security of the passengers the u.s. carriers operating internationally operate consistent with notices to airmen issued by foreign countries. however let me be clear. this in no way indicates the u.s. government acceptance of china's for varmints in the newly declared adiz and has no bearing on insisting u.s. government position we do not except china's requirements. this is about the safety and security of passengers and is not an indication of any change in opposition. we do not accept the legitimacy of china's requirements. >> jay back to health care. it sounds like you didn't meet the deadline of the more listened to your answers because izzy keele and manuel said the web site is working reasonably well and he said it's vastly improved. there has been significant progress but not necessarily that it's working well and effectively for the vast majority of users as you acknowledge with jim and john in majors and others. you are still getting the same error
