china is center of asia order historically. weak china for united states was bad because it would draw in other powers. but the contrary view was, maritime power, pacific is critical to our security. and the logical alignment with us is with the other maritime powers. this is not a new debate. goes back to the 1850s in the american case with perry who opened japan. his counterpart in chooiina guy named marshall, from land lock state, kentucky. and marshall argued they should help the china british imperialism. so these two visions were evident in their letters back and in speeches. hahn cam back in 1853, in the 55 speeches saying in the future u.s. will secure its position in the pacific by aligning with japan and britain. so kind of the free and open endo pacific 150 years early. and you've seen that kind of division for sometime, even at the gbeginning of the trump administration people were wondering whether taiwan would be a pawn. i think that's probably behind us now. and u.s. position appears to be captured by the endo str

on these terms, here's the thing, even if this specific deal is isn't china centered, the point is presidentmp is telling the world america will no longer be the willing victim in terrible trade deals because the american worker has suffered terribly. >> we also need to notice that donald trump used a lot of chinese steel in his own buildings. so the time to stand up for the chinese might have been when he was still in the building business. right now he's sending a big tough message to some of our greatest allies. and i think it's so interesting, you are such a loyal guy, you are great. but you come in here and want to talk about all the leading economic indicators. we are never here talking about them because the president is constantly stepping on his own message. >> i want to talk about gary cohn very much against these tariffs. he lost, okay, and lost big on this, steve, no question about it. you were with him today. goldm goldman sachs, politico is reporting this could be the final straw. so now you have hope hicks. have you the report mcmaster could be gone soon. >> he wants jeff sess

and there's logic historically to both china as the center of asian order historically, a weak china for the united states was bad in the 19th and 20th centuries because it would draw in other powers. but the contrary view was, no, we're a maritime power in the pacific, critical to our security. and the logical alignment for us is with the other maritime powers. and this is not a new debate. this goes back to the 1850s in the american case. with perry who opened japan, his counterpart in china, the commissioner of china was a guy named humphrey marshall who was from a landlocked state, kentucky, army, navy. he argued in the 1850s the u.s. should help the chinese stop russian and british imperialism and deal with the thai ping. so, these two visions were evident in their letters back and in speeches. mahan came back in 1853 and in the 55-56 speeches saying in the future the u.s. will secure its position in the pacific by aligning with japan and britain. so, it's kind of the free and endough pacific 100 years early. you've seen that kind of division for sometime, even at the beginning

remember that china, before, was at the center of six party talks. rtainly was to be at the center of whatever happens. people often talked about what the failure of a trump-kim summit would mean. meanwould worry that would that the united states would suddenly think that a preemptive strike on north korea would be acceptable, and that is certainly the line that john bolton, the new national security adviser, has been pushing. if they can't find what they are looking for, the agreement to immediately give up their nuclear weapons, which seems unlikely, that the united states will have to think twice about a preemptive strike. any preemptive strike will clearly be bringing china into what would be a regional conflict. haidi: thishere concerns about appointment of the super hawk bolton just as we get into these very high level and sensitive negotiations? the thing about john bolton is that he has been involved in north korean negotiations before. in 2002, he was advising george bush. at one point, there was a breakdown in talks on the 1994 --mework, whi

china is the center of asian order historically, a week china for the united states was bad in the 19th and 20th centuries because it would draw in other powers. we are aary view was maritime power and their critical of our security. is logical alignment for us with the other maritime powers. this is not a new debate. this was back to the 1850's in the american case. counterpart in china, the commissioner of china was a minimum -- named humphrey marshall comments you are this is going and humphrey marshall argued that the u.s. should help the chinese stop russian and british imperialism and deal with it. these two visions were evident in their back and in speeches. and in 55back in 1853 and 56 came speeches saying that in the future, the u.s. will secure his position in the pacific by aligning with japan and britain. it is a free and open pacific hundred years early. division for that even at the beginning of the trump administration, people were wondering if taiwan would be a part, whether president trump which i to strike a grand bargain with china. i think that is probably behind us
