. and now at the moment the chinese navy in the pacific ocean is superior in general-purpose forces to the pacific fleet of the united states of america. well, besides, russia, england and france, as carriers of the naval component of strategic nuclear forces, certainly belong to the leading maritime powers. there is no single methodology for assessing the power of the navy, perhaps even constantly no one, except for military intelligence, is engaged in the very division of ships into classes and subclasses, conditionally someone adds up the tonnage and believes that more weapons can be placed on a large displacement, someone simply takes into account the number of ships, but the results of a naval battle are made up of many factors, not only material after the second world war, the recognized leaders include the united states washington is in the lead by the number of aircraft carriers 11 pieces, and this the main strike force of the fleet. but after the end of the cold war , a lot has changed, for example, this year blonberg analysts sounded the alarm about the combat readiness of th

of us, navy, the chinese air force, us air force, etc. but what they seem to not understand us officials is that these things are taking place in the south china sea. these events are taking place thousands of miles from any sort of us border, any sort of us shore. and really it is right there in the back yard of china right there. so i think more than anything that speaks volumes to why is the united states conducting these war games conducting these exercises so far from any sort of boundary, but they have set themselves in the question remains. yes. well how, what are they gaining? what is their long term strategy? i think personally they have, they are trying, they are trying to provoke a reaction from chains of vessels from the chinese military. and i think while the chinese officials have been very smart in responding to the appropriate ones to respond to in an appropriate manner, i think so far they haven't taken the bait. one of the key concerns for tanya, of course, is that washington has been selling weapons to taiwan despite ca

of the navy, and not the united states, there are more than 400 warships in the service of the chinese navyuding three aircraft carriers. the last fujin was developed from scratch and launched last year in april, for the first time in history, china put on permanent combat on duty a nuclear submarine with ballistic missiles, and their range is more than 10,000 km, that is, beijing actually received a weapon capable of hitting targets deep in the united states. it is not surprising that, according to the data , the combat potential of the two countries at sea was almost comparable. today, its naval forces are represented by four fleets, the boltian black sea northern and pacific fleets, there is also the caspian flotilla. ships that carry caliber missiles are an important element of deterrence submarines with nuclear weapons on board, france and the uk also have similar submarines with nuclear weapons. their fleets were once considered the strongest in the world , but now the aircraft carriers are outdated, and new ships are an expensive pleasure. however, victory in the last major battle in

navy at a time the chinese navy is growing dramatically. there's not a penny in this budget to help beat putin. is the navy is smaller, the army is smaller, the marine corps is smaller. this is not a threat-based budget. this is a budget of political compromise where people have lost sight of what the country needs. we need safety and security. to my house colleagues, i can't believe you did this. to the speaker, i know you got a tough job. i like you. but the party of ronald reagan is dying. don't tell me that a defense budget that's $42 billion below inflation fully funds the military. and don't tell me we can confront and challenge china. everybody in this body is patting themselves on the back that we see china as the most existential threat to america. you are right. we did the chips act. we're doing things to help our economy combat china. at the moment of decision, when it came to the military, this budget is a win for china. please don't go home and say this is fully funded, because it is not. please stop talking about confronting ch

days later in the strait a chinese navy ship cut in front of a united states destroyer. china said the united states was there for provocation. the defense secretary shared a hand shake with his chinese counterpart even as they rejected a formal meeting. he said friday that he is ready for dialogue. >> a door is open in the -- my phone is -- my phone line is open and so, they can pick up the phone and call at any time. >> a senior white house official said dialogue is how mature, strong militaries react. at the highest levels of the military austin hasn't met with his chinese counterpart in a year. blinken is trying to thaw the frosty relations as china maintains a deep distrust about the intentions for the region. >> the united states needs to respect our core concerns. stop undermining china's security, and development interests in the name of competition. >> the state department is hoping for a realistic approach to manage the competition of world powers in a responsible way. if we want to make sure as we do that the competition that we have with china doesn't veer int

context of china because there's a lot of military activity around taiwan, the taiwan straits, the chinese navyrican ships in aircraft not far away from the area. there's always a risk of something going wrong, to planes flying to close together, ships miss communicating that something going off. but that is a nightmare scenario for military planners everywhere. this is the sort of thing we used to the head of the cold war between the soviet union and the united states. but there was communications between moscow and washington at that time. just to prevent any kind of sudden and -- that kind of communication is not taking place between china and the united states right now. that's something we should all be concerned about. >> the u.s. wants it but china doesn't. do you see that that could change perhaps as these talks between the two nations continue? >> well it's a little hard to gauge that. the chinese think that the united states is iran similarly hostile towards them. the u.s. feels that the chinese are making hostile gestures of their own. they have not agreed to a timetable when they mi

southern command in florida as you point out, she is worried because the chinese military, the chinese navypanama canal. so one after another. yet the biden administration says it's not a big deal, or we don't think that's true. wake up.to understand the threat china poses. liz: you be saying china could set up a naval base in cuba. haven't they done things like that around the world besides panama? >> the threat of china is no longer isolated to the western pacific other area around china. china is trying to create a blue water navy and they are building up military bases. they go to a country and they say let's build you a port. you will be able to have a lot of trade come in through that port. we'll give you a mortgage on it. the country defaults on the loan, and china says we'll turn that trading port into a military port. they are doing it on the east coast of africa, they are trying to do it in the indopacific region, and now they are trying to do it in china. -- in cuba. liz: we'll listen to mark milley. >> they have cut a deal with the cubans it wouldn't be different from what they

the most recent was earlier this month in the south china sea, you see it here, a chinese warship cutting off a u.s. navy caught on video as the chinese ship came dangerously close here, just 150 yards in front of this american ship. today, blinken says that he is prepared for quote, candid conversations. warren lieberman is out front. >> a high stakes visit with low expectations. secretary of state anthony blinken has to china trying to reopen crucial lines of communication with beijing. >> intense competition requires a sustained diplomacy to ensure that competition does not veer into confrontation, or conflict. and again, that is what the world expects of both the united states and china. >> blinken's trip was canceled once before after the u.s. shot down a chinese spy balloon that flew over sensitive u.s. sites in february. since then, relations have declined, a series of dangerous encounters between two of the most powerful militaries on earth ratcheting up the tensions. in late may, a chinese fighter jet sliced in front of a u.s. reconnaissance aircraft in international airspace over the south chin

the chinese navy is concerning, less than 10 years ago, it was about the same size as ours. today, it has the largest fleet in the world with 340 ships and plans to hit 400 in the next two years. we don't have plans to hit 350 ships in the next two decades. china has dramatically expanded its cyber capabilities. it's hackers and spies are targeting everything from our military bases to our critical energy infrastructure. china has also deepened its report over who -- its infiltration of our homelands and evening -- even setting a police stations on u.s. soil. china's view on american situations is worse than error -- than ever. they don't have a choice. the communist party is stealing our investment to the tune of $600 billion a year. it is using american enterprise to honor americans rate -- strength and president biden is letting it happen. the communist party's endgame is clear. shiny -- china is repairing his people for work. we should take president xi jinping at his word. instead, president biden continues to do the -- we must act now to keep the peace and prevent more

navy at a time the chinese navy is growing dramatically. there's not a penny in this budget to help beat putin. is the navy is smaller, the army is smaller, the marine corps is smaller. this is not a threat-based budget. this is a budget of political compromise where people have lost sight of what the country needs. we need safety and security. to my house colleagues, i can't believe you did this. to the speaker, i know you got a tough job. i like you. but the party of ronald reagan is dying. don't tell me that a defense budget that's $42 billion below inflation fully funds the military. and don't tell me we can confront and challenge china. everybody in this body is patting themselves on the back that we see china as the most existential threat to america. you are right. we did the chips act. we're doing things to help our economy combat china. at the moment of decision, when it came to the military, this budget is a win for china. please don't go home and say this is fully funded, because it is not. please stop talking about confronting ch

because without the lines of communication, the concern is that those events like a chinese navy ship pulling in front of a u.s. destroyer or a chinese jet pulling in front of the nose of a zus surveillance jet, if you have an accident in those circumstances, a wing clips another wing, a ship clips the bow of another ship, it doesn't escalate. there is enormous concern about that. and those are real risks in this context. and so to have the lines open matters. particularly military to military hotlines as it were opened again. while they do exist, as i've been told in taiwan and u.s. officials, chinese officials don't always pick up the phone. >> and it was interesting we heard secretary blinken note that there was some conversation about ukraine, about russia's invasion of ukraine. and he said that china -- they would welcome china playing a constructive role to come about a just peace in ukraine. interesting phrasing based on the relationship between xi and putin. what are the real chances of that role being constructive? >> that role thus far, here is what we've learned from the ch

indo-pacific commander, a chinese navy vessel -- military vessel cut 150 yards in front of the u.s.ut 2,000 yards in front of that ship again. from the u.s. perspective, it is china here that is to blame for what they called an unsafe maneuver. >> great risk to safety, the safety of mariners. we don't seek a confrontation with china, but those mariners were acting in an unsafe way. we were acting in international laws of the sea, the rules of the road so to speak, which is internationally accepted and the chinese were acting unsafe. >> reporter: from china's perspective, it's almost as if they're describing an entirely different encounter. china's defense minister speaking at shangri-la dialogue in singapore hours after this happened said u.s. wasn't there for peaceful purposes, they were looking for provocation by sailing through the taiwan strait which gets into a disagreement as to the rules of the road. the u.s. sees that as international waterway. we saw a similar disagreement over the south china sea. u.s. said it was international air space and had the right to be there under

and in the most recent act of hostility by china earlier this month, a chinese navy ship maneuvered in what the u.s. called an unsafe and unnecessarily aggressive manner toward the u.s. destroyer in the taiwan strait. questions remain for secretary blinken still without a confirmed meeting with chinese president xi jingping. >> that was evan moon reporting for us tonight. >> a procession will take place next week to remember a cal fire captain killed in a car crash. captain ronnie boyd died in an accident last week while off duty cal fire l and use as the funeral procession will begin tuesday morning. it will travel from napa county into lake county. cal fire says expect traffic delays along highway 29 between those 2 counties captain boyd is remembered by colleagues for his contagious smile and willingness to sir. >> all right. let's get you a check. your 4 zone forecast tonight taking a live look from sutro tower over the city of san francisco. and we know that this camera for some reason it is not affected in the same with the other cameras are when it comes to the wind. yeah, it's

russian and chinese orbit, refusing to condemn the russian invasion of ukraine, hosted russia and chinese navies for joint exercises and stands accused by the united states of supplying arms to russia, allegations that south africa has denied. and then there is india which has made clear from the start of the ukraine war that it had no intention of siding against russia which remains the chief supplier of advanced weaponry for the indian military. indian statements about their desire to maintain a balance in their relations between the west and russia and even china have been so numerous that ashley tall lus, one of the most respected scholars on u.s.-india relations wrote an essay warning them not to assume that russia would side with it in any future crisis with beijing. what is going on? why is the united states having so much trouble with so many of the world's largest developing nations? these attitudes are rooted in a phenomenon i described in 2008 as the rise of the rest. over the last two decades, a huge shift in the international system has taken place. countries that were once populous

as you point out, the spy balloon, the spy base, the chinese military, the chinese navy, cut off an american in the taiwan strait a week ago, forced them to change course. the american southern command says look, the chinese military is now in the panama canal. china controls both entrances to the panama canal. the chinese are saying how many times do we have to humiliate you and you still want to come? the other thing, it has other implications. the rest of the world is looking at this. the global south particularly the indopacific region. the chinese are going around the world saying america is a declining power. china is a rising power. you better choose us. what better example is there than the american secretary stated going -- we know he's going to be humiliated and he will take it. finally, i'm really worried that given the track record of this administration that they're going to want to give the chinese something. they'll want to walk away and say this was such an important meeting because we got this, this and this. in order to get this, this and this, the americans will have to do
