professor of political science and international diplomacy at the curtain university explains why china and north korea would favor a war in the region. it's quite clear that china, north korea, can see. clearly, the united states is fully gauge in a proxy war against russia and ukraine, and that they're testing american resolve both in south korea and taiwan. i mean, they'd like a college when i mean by that is they want to drive north korea, want to drive a wedge between sounds to me in the united states and you get those sanctions are back. and china, of course, is not going to compromise anti wine, which they thought that the table after $972.00 shanghai q n k o nations. i believe one prefer war to diplomacy, not going to need anything else. and of course, the, the possibilities here are strategic, surprise miscalculation, wrong units, and that kind of things. i think it is a mistake to normalize what's going on. we say, well, this goes on all the time. the opportunity for a conflict between united states and china is high. i don't think it necessarily has to come from taiwan. might come over the n

and the west, china, russia, iran, and north korea, and the race about who will dominate ai, machine learning, and so on is not only which country will be dominating in the future, china with united states, and also who will be the geopolitical, military hegemon, because the weapons of the future will be cyber, robots, robot soldiers, drones, and autonomous weapons vehicles, so ai leader will be the leading hegemonic power in the world. that is why eric schmitt wrote the book with henry kissinger, the greatest geopolitical strategist of our time saying the fight about ai is about who will become the dominant power geopolitical. there is this dark side of technology. it is developed to build weapons that lead to war, making war more likely than less likely, one side effect of technology. >> i tried to lure you into an optimistic conclusion, but i see the optimistic scenarios share a threat. let's hope that humanity finds a way to adapt and cooperate, and if not, i think we can all say don't say you did not warn us. thank you. >> yes. thank you very much. hope for the best, but also pre

which would obviously be able to hit north korea as well as china. and in some sense, i think actually the chinese threat from the perspective of japan, this is really the more salient one of the north, 3, all the north korea is clearly i important, secondary worry south korea has been increasing its defense expenditures for at least the last 6 or 7 years, if i remember correctly by every year, anywhere between 5 and 8 percent to south 3 is pouring money into its defense. it's a national defense. you might ask where some of that money has been going to the extent that they don't seem to be able to have an answer for these smaller is the metric threat. but they are putting money into submarines. they're putting money into potentially a light aircraft carrier. they put money into a 35 of course they're putting money into unmanned system as they're putting money into c 4 i s r. so intelligence recognizance and surveillance capabilities south are you doing that? we always see china massively increasing its military expenditures in growing it's on nuclear

but because of the incredible speed of modern war, particularly with the stock of missiles that korea and china japan really can't mount a credible defense or can't motor, incredible deterrence if it, if it just ways to be hit after lengthy preparation with the massive waves of ballistic missiles, it has to be able to strike the, the, the bases that are sending the missiles to japan in order to defend itself. and so that's why these missiles are designated counter strike missiles. and it's, it's not meant to it's not meant to add to an arms race. what would it's, it's meant to correct for just accumulating advantage for a 1st strike by north korea or china. it's gotten to the point now where there are so many offensive missiles able to target japan or taiwan or any other, any close in target. that of just the 1st strike could be absolutely crippling and disabling, and leaving, leaving the victim or target unable to find itself, particularly if it's had no way to take out the launch site. ok, i want to jump in the because i want to get an idea from you that japan, if it has these tomahawk cruise

that not only are we putting pressure on north korea to be on these practices, we are putting in place what needs to be -- done to defend against it. china has a role to play this in this. it has the strongest relationship with the republic of north korea. and is within china's interest to not see this -- at these provocative actions continue. and we've seen this come -- president xi and president biden talked about this, and i expect i will continue that conversation early next year about what we hope china will do to convince north korea to move in another direction. we said clearly, and it remains the case that we are open to diplomacy without any preconditions. we remain committed to seeing the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. today, korea is not on that basis, but i think it remains a possibility. and china can play a role in helping to move that -- in that direction. >> i have heard from you and other senior members of the biden administration, that human rights is always part of the conversation, looking back at the last two years how well do you think they administration has done in getting the mix right and effectively

so i think growing military threats from north korea and china, opponents of the tax increase had force the government to postpone the decision. for the seller has moved from take you japan can only launch a counter strike or sometimes it's described as b. m. 2 likes against an intimate i mean in the faith to its people when there is no other proper means to stop such an attack. and in the case that japan is directly being targeted or one of its allies and the 3rd condition, which is also an important condition to launch such thrice is that there is no other ways and it should be in the minimum capacity. so also, although it is a very big change in japan policies, still the government stays in the new national security strategy that is not looking forward to become a mr. militarize country. and the main purpose for all these revisions to the 3rd. the threats that if the now increasing japan, it said that the security environment is getting more and more tight around japan fighting to of course, the expansion of the chinese military and its waters. and also the very rates of long shows.
