in the geographic region of east asia is the island of taiwan.ly about 250 miles from end to end, it is dwarfed mighty china. however, taiwan's small size belies a powerful economic tiger. today its thriving high-tech industries hungrily eye chi's enormous market, but until recently investment in china was forbidden. old antagonisms stemming from china's 1949 communist revolution have estranged taiwan from its motherland. even so, taiwanese entrepreneurs have moved into china. we'll hear from one geographer who sees taiwan acting as an interface region between chinese business and western technology. a big question here is whether business relationships can transcend and perhaps ease long-standing political tensions. the peak-hour traffic in taipei is evidence of taiwan's growth as a powerhouse of development. taiwan's affluence is reflected in the high level of motor-vehicle ownership. in tast, it became known around world as a producer of cheap labor-intensive goods, such as clothing and textiles. today it is a major player in the development a

and so in asia the east asia summit, we have now moved front and center especially on east asian security issues. we're trying to build the trans-pacific partnership. so i would say they bought into regional multilateral organizations at least in asia very strongly, but with a real strategy behind that. it's not multilateralism for the sake of multilateral im, it's how to you advance american interests and move them ahead. >> just as a quick coda, what's interesting in this arab awakening, you know, in terms of looking for partners who would have thought we'd be working with the arab league which was particularly a feckless organization and suddenly has become an important actor in this? >> let me just ask because that's an interesting question. as i recall in the bush years multilateralism tended to be defined as the united nations. i would say this administration looks to be a little frustrated with the u.n. security council. secretary clinton made some very strong negative statements about the utility of the security council. do you foresee and, martin, you mentioned that they might un

and so in asia, east asia summit has moved front and center especially on asian security issues were rying to build a platform called the transpacific burger shape. so i would say they bought into regional multilateral organizations. at least asia, very strongly that what the real strategy behind that. it's not multilateralism for the sake of multilateralism. it's had to dance multilateralism organizations? >> just as a quick coda. what is interesting in this arab awakening in terms of looking for partners, who it is that we would be working with the arab league, which was particularly an organization that has become imports and -- >> as i recall that the shoes come and multilateralism tenet be fined as the united nations. i would say this administration looks to me a site to be little frustrated with the u.n. security council. i think secretary clinton made a strong negative statement about the utility of the u.n. security council. do you foresee in the new mentioned that they might undertake and i ran straight without u.n. security council. let me just ask. >> obama, one of his sign

initially in the sense that i don't believe we can talk too much about a pivoting or rebalancing to east asia. the administration i think has done a good job reminding east asian allies take we're there, we're there and we're committed, we're not going to cut. it's certainly correct that we should not cut our capabilities. but whether you want to get out of the middle east or not, drags you back. it always does. and there are times when you get involved in wars of choice, but the united states still has dependency on the middle east and that's why in my argument in the wounded giant book and what i try to underscore today, i think you have to view the persian gulf as well as the broader middle east and the western pacific as equally important theaters of future military focus. i think as a matter of defense planning, we cannot and must not understate the centrality of the persian gulf. the rebalancing of asian has been good up to a point because it reminded countries in that region including china that we are still very much a pacific power, that this is as important as any other, and that it

north east asia is a dynamic region to the global economy, regional stability and u.s. national security interests. what's more, the coming year, we'll bring a number of regional leadership transitions for north korea u south korea, china, japan and russia. as some might have forgotten, the korean war is over. it's home to one of the world's most militaristic states. in fact, although the north korean regime is willing to starve its own citizens, it maintains the world's lashlgest army. thousands of artillery systems, tanks aircraft and surface combatants. more than 70% of north korea's combat power is positioned within 90 miles of the demilitarized zone. this puts our citizens of soul, if world's forth largest city easily within the eh raddic jam's racial relation. last month, the regime would stop uranium enrichment and missile testing and allow international inspectors to return to the nuclear facility in exchange for traditional aid. but two weeks ago, north korea said they would launch in april. a clear administration. this is typical behavior shown by their regime
