ability to projects its, its power militarily, whether it's over taiwan, whether it's in the south china sea, to project its economy and economic influence through 5 g technology to allegedly cyber security breaches. do you think all of that is fueling concern in the west? now 1st of all, china is a big power in the world. and china does need a national defense capabilities can measure it to its increasing economic are reached. this is a fact. second point, china's national defense is mostly for domestic defense, as well as liberating taiwan if we have to all peaceful reunification with taiwan, preferably and china's military defense is designed to protect china's legitimate interest in far corners in the world. this is the nature of china's national defense. china does not want to invade any other country or take over any other countries land, because this is not only against china's own interest, it is against the principle of peace and peaceful coexistence with all the other countries in the world. therefore, i think there are people who are raising false alarms, abbas about china's econo

think of the south china sea and the outrageous attempts of china to run roughshod over the law of the sea treaty and the legal obligations china is ignoring. think of the east china sea and their attempt to intimidate, but they have not succeeded, our ally japan. and think of taiwan. and so i think the chinese have, by being so aggressive, they've now stirred up a lot of opposition to them. and i think we ought not to exaggerate their strengths or underestimate the strengths of the united states. what we need is self-confidence that the united states is a strong country. and i do think our values are the strongest part of our strategy towards china. >> thank you, ambassador. >> thank you. senator coons. >> thank you, mr. chairman, ranking member. thank you, ambassador burns, for your willingness to continue your service overseas. you are the right nominee at the right moment for what is an absolutely critical relationship for the 21st century. and i think in your opening statement, you laid out, wisely, the challenges that are before us. so i am particularly pleased, given your deep e

loggerheads for a long time now of everything from what intellectual copyright is used to the south china sea? so could this be the beginning of a warming relationship in other areas and other regions? well, it could be, you certain, his foreign ministry spokesperson just spoke actually moments ago, a one when did, and he was asked precisely this question. does this mean that there's going to be a bit of a turning point in the tone of the relationship? he was kind of coy. he didn't really specifically on to that. yes, so no, but he did say that once again, this shows that the child that china and the u. s. can cooperate on major international issues that this cooperation can benefit at 2 countries and the world that china is willing to continue climate dialogue and inject positive energy into the multi lateral process. so he was repeating some of the comments at chinese climate envoy shed. and why did i say yesterday when this was 1st announced on thursday, but i think this can be seen to be a bit of a turning point. as you mentioned, this relationship for the past few years has been if anyth

s. continue to provoke, sending worships into the south china sea in ways that are provoking china. so the real question of what this all comes down to is, how serious is china about reification? if you listen to what's being said, it seems that they are very serious about it and how willing is the united states to get into it all out war over taiwan. i don't know that we are willing to do that . and christy on that no, it's divided ministration has said from day one that they want increased competition with china, not conflict. how does that play into the issue of taiwan? it doesn't, it really doesn't. because competition means just focusing on your own work, whether it's technology, national defense, 5, g biotech, whatever. and it's just trying to advance a field further, developing better techniques, some products, and then the marketplace will actually dictate the winner of that said the competition. taiwan has absolutely nothing to do with competition. it is the u. s. putting into china sovereign affairs, which basically is saying that the u. s. is putting itself in the middle

fortunately, taiwan's got the sea between themselves and china. but i really fear that we're going to see the same kind of pushing the envelope in taiwan that gets it to a point where there's a crisis. what are your views on that? >> senator, you are right to ask that question. i share your concern. as senator markey mentioned, i was state department spokesperson. i accompanied secretary albright in 1997 to the handover from the uk to the prc on hong kong. all of us remember -- i particularly remember from our meeting with the chinese leadership that day the commitments they made to the people of hong kong and to the rest of us around the world and the chinese have gone back on every one of those commitments. if we link that to taiwan, we obviously cannot trust china to meet the commitments it has made on the taiwan issue. when congress passed the taiwan relations act, when administration after administration pursued a one china policy, we did so on the presumption that there would be peace in the relationship between taiwan and china. there isn't

within a year, he had militaryized the south china sea. of course he's expansionist. ant because of the sea lanes of commerce that go through that. he is expanding his geographical reach. he's done it there. he's watching what happens with the rest of the world. he's going to push on taiwan. he's an authoritarian leader. he has a plan that goes long range, 10, 15, 20 years. he's going to be elected, i use that word very -- with a little bit of caution, for his third term. nobody has ever been given a third term as a chinese leader. he's going to get that. he's an a expansionist leader. the first place he will expand to is taiwan after this. jason: i think the olympics is going to be an interesting inflection point. you're right, the danger islands. all right, lieutenant general keith kellogg, please stay right there. we'll talk rising tensions between russia and ukraine and the iran nuclear talks that resume tomorrow when we come back. jason: the u.s. and other world leaders meeting in vienna tomorrow to resume talks with iran on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal. but so

they came to a cyber agreement, and president xi said don't worry about the south china sea, we don'tlan on militarizing it. well, since that time, the degree of cyber conflict has risen in the south china sea areas are highly militarized. so i think there is reason to question right now whether or not the kind of agreements they make here now are basically sort of papering things over or whether or not they would actually be substantive. >> and what do you think is likely? >> well, i think what's likely is that they're going to say that they came to understand each other better. these are two people who spent a fair bit amount of time together in a previous era. when president xi had not yet ascended, xi is now obviously in a much more secure position. i think he's got reason to question after afghanistan and other events whether or not president biden actually would make a stand, say, to fully defend taiwan with military forces as opposed to support or whether or not the united states actually is going to be able to carry through on the set of industrial policies that are coming tog

one in the south china sea, wasn't it the case that china had a fait accompli during the obama administration with building that and almost related to this is international arbitrations and disputes, the philippines won a case against china about intrusions and china didn't care, they went off and did whatever they want today do anyway which would kind of imply they can do these objectives in the gray zone business without going on military. related to that then is are you focusing too narrowly on china in this military approach and if it's not a power projection thing like we've done in the past then there are implications for the u.s. military. so are we going to shift from active duty, large standing to more of a guard reserve sort of thing, right? so is it really about war? are you too focused military speaking on china? aren't there implications to that and then linked to it is robert gates seems to have said we've never gotten our forecasting or our predictions right ever. so are we going down is what the questioners are looking at. going down a path where making too many promises and y

philippines government is accusing beijing of sabotaging a re supply mission in the disputed south china sea. the incident happened on tuesday near the contested sprightly islands. the chinese coast guard is reported to have blocked the philippines. ships and fire water cannon vessels were carrying supplies to a military base. china's foreign ministry though, says the coast guard, acted within the law to safeguard its sovereignty. and with that, you're up to date with the headlines on our 0 witnesses next. ah ha! ah, with come you it's all is well when we were you to your home about a good. okay. so yeah, i mean what will you be going. c with them with but i was so doing a lot of them and so one moment assume i began going suitable, you know, but it won't or you go to him to go some of the data, but he hadn't meant them been lucky enough to national gotcha. 2 pm, and i will say love, you might be glad to deal with ah ah me nobody media kissing me. speaker. throw it away, auto or you can blow ginseng extra, a do saber better. you will. yeah, i knew the i knew the younger son will. i was also

relationship to a different level in a bad way, particularly with the way xi has been policing the south china seato the point it is overlapping with geopolitical tensions of the u.s., australia, and even europe. >> both sides really do realize what is at stake. that continuing to saber rattle is not good. we are seeing heightened communication between the two militaries, and the meeting next monday, the virtual meeting between president biden and president xi jinping is another good sign. neither side thinks that a hot war is anything other than a catastrophe. again, this week, we had the biden administration reaffirming the idea we want to compete china. we are not in conflict with china. the main tensions have to do with whether there is a level playing field, is china playing fair in terms of trade, in terms of our investment in china , in terms of setting technology standards for emerging technologies? so in all those areas, we want china to play by the rules and be part of setting the rules. this dialogue is a good sign. it is what we need to keep this as competition, as opposed to conflict.

worries about even the possibility of conflict, right, military conflict over taiwan or the south china seaigger momentum here is towards moving apart, not together. from an economic stand point, you have u.s. companies pulling supply chain out of china and many others talking of doing the same. you have genuine concerns over china perhaps invading taiwan. folks in the pentagon talk about that. is the relationship stuck on that course, the momentum only pushing a part rather than, you know, staying somewhere close to the status quo? >> yeah. this is the big tension, essentially between the long-term trajectory where you have two big powers with very different interests, very different priorities, both of them expecting to play a major role in asia and the future, jockeying in closer and closer quarters in the south china sea over territory like taiwan, for instance. >> yep. >> and i think one of the key questions is can they erect the guard rails to prevent competition from becoming conflict? that's the key point. over the last 30, 40 years of this relationship, there's always been some lev
