by it was in the east china sea over the islands or in the south china sea, or indeed in the himalayas between china and india, in all of these places you see china using non-civilian tools to advance in some ways it's territorial ambitions. and finally we see quite consistently although not in all areas a certain disrespect for international norms, whether in terms of freedom of navigation, whether in terms of cybersecurity and internet governance, or indeed, whether in terms of the arctic and arctic treaty systems which have been a point of growing concern. india where i am from has certain specific concerns related to china's rise, and i should say in many ways what we are seeing has been advantages, not just to china's citizens in the sense of being a driver of global economic growth, lifting millions tens the needs of people out of poverty, and, indeed, all of us in some ways have directly or indirectly benefit from china's rise over the last few years. but nevertheless, a country like india has certain specific concerns. one, there is a large bag or dispute between the countries. it's not make

have to of course we need to have a strong china in order to have a strong china we need to have a strong military like you put in the areas before the. chinanow with a strong military each of the chinese can be a better person this is the logic for china and i don't think it has never been proven when you have a doctrine of stability at all costs what are those costs human rights a climate models costs. and compare china today with china 10 years ago 10 years ago there were human rights lawyers there were people who were working for human rights defending human rights in china they don't exist in china to. term limits for the red caught the chinese people as a whole are proud nation how do they then how do you know. 1.4000000000 chinese. today china is led by a man empowered by his country's history. for xi jinping comparisons to mallard's agung as well as deceive. he quotes the words of conscience call is to see new the virtues of legalism a nod to times authoritarian. and all the while he promotes confucius as a national brand across the world. the whole idea of pain is grounded on the sense of. success prosperity. the mandate of heaven

china sea. lots of people by the arguments china makes on the south china sea. terms of how confident is the you is china that its inducements, it's positive inducements in the region have worked, i think china should be quite proud of itself. because if we look at the philippines, the philippines has not insisted or talked about the award. it raises it once in a while but then it moves on. what the philippines now is looking forward to and hoping to conclude is a cooperation, they signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation on oil and glassed development oil and gas development. in the philippines is looking to conclude such a deal with china appeared i think the philippines is optimistic they will get china to agree to a deal that would implicitly recognize china's sovereign rights philippine sovereign rights in the philippines on q,clusive economic zone. but whether china actually agrees to that is a different case altogether. i think china looking to the philippines should be quite reassured. looking to vietnam, i think it s$ould not be too perturbe

china. so therefore, given that for japan, china is threat, china is going to be loser, for japan, strong u.s policy toward china is welcome. japan is right to be on the side of the united states. thank you very much. >> thank you. i think you will agree we had four terrific presentations. they ran a little bit over our targeted time but that's okay. as i understand this, we have until 1:30 at a minimum but maybe can slip over a few minutes if there are urgent questions or comments. ground rules are very simple. i would ask you if you have a comment, a question, to identify yourself and your affiliation, please, and to direct your comment or question to one or more of the panelists. who would like to open up? let me start over here, this young man over here. then i will come to the front. please. remember to identify yourself and your affiliation. >> i'm from the voice america and have two questions directed to the professor. vietnam is going for a new minister next year which is a critical moment when what i'm wondering how can vietnam take advantage of this opportunity to rally its pushback

land montenegrin land could become collateral so it works in both ways why is china so generous china's generous because china's trying to build influence it's looking for for china sitting on quite a lot of cash that it needs to invest. and so the silk road is very much part of the us i think so it's trying to build up infrastructure as part of the silk road but it is also trying to build political influence i was interesting in the report we had that china basically came to the rescue with the e.u. just didn't manage to invest the money and a lot of experts say the 2020 will be a critical year for china relations how come well i think we've got this investment treaty that's going to that's coming up to see whether that gets signed at the moment is a lot of pushback against china against china as an investment. because of china trying to export influence as it's perceived in many places so it is going to be a crucial year the balkans is going to be particularly central to this i mean i remember when i lived in beijing it was always because of the links between the former yugoslavia that people from the balkans
