when i became interested in east asia and china in particular, i started looking for -- what were the sources of the values? why is it they believe this and this about the spirit world, which is different from what people believed in greece and rome. i got very interested in what we call, religion as kind of this bedrock fundamental set of beliefs about the cosmos and about where values come from. i found, when i was riding my dissertation in graduate school, that i kept going more and more toward what was religion in east asia. when i interviewed for jobs -- i interviewed for jobs in history, but it was a religion department. and so, i find myself doing religion in part -- out of this orientation from my father that is not from a religious perspective. but from a perspective that, if you really want a certain culture and society, you have to understand what these fundamental iraq questions are. that is where my -- fundamental bedrock questions are. that is where my interest is. >> the west and the east is a good place to live. you live in san francisco? >> yes. >> family? >> it is in

a stretch of water in south—east asia is considered one of the riskiest regions in the world. and the philippines are launching a maritime patrol in the sulu and celebes seas. it's due to a spate of kidnap for ransom incidents since last year. many of which have been attributed to the abu sayyaf militant group operating out of the southern philippines. i spoke to maritime defence expert collin koh and asked him why it took so much time for the region to agree on this security arrangement. there are actually a few issues, one has to do with the political issue of sensitivity for one another‘s sovereignty. initially deferring that perception when it comes to the severity of these issues. of course i think there is something more practical, it is to do with the need to not just co—ordinate with agencies of these three countries but within each country, the co—ordination of various agencies because it's very unlike the case of the malacca strait when we're dealing with piracy and armed robery, we are looking at dealing with terrorism so you're requiring co—operation between the de

and after decades of authoritarian rule, south east asia's largest economy, today, is a thriving democracye side. recent demonstrations against an ethnic chinese mayor have raised concerns that small but vocal groups of hardline muslims are getting increasingly influential, threatening indonesia's collectability. but for those like anne, who had to start again, success has been sweet. she now runs afarm. her success has been sweet. she now runs a farm. her fortune and those of millions of indonesians depend on the country's economic success. at that relies on the delicate balance keeps his together. i reported on the asian financial crisis 20 years ago, and for many indonesians, it was a nightmare. tell us about the ethnic concern. and how it could impact the economy going. —— going forward. the chinese indonesian business community is the pillar of economic growth in the country. many of the big businesses are owned by chinese indonesians. if they feel that there is a consistent threat against them, we might see some of the money in the country right now are repatriated overseas or elsewh

been reporting all this week, it has been 20 years since the financial crisis that swept through east asia havoc on economies around the globe. today we are in malaysia, which took a massive gamble and brought in capital controls, effectively controlling how much money went in and out of the country, rejecting help from the imf, and alienating the international financial community. in the short term, this helped lessen the economic damage, but what about the long—term? christine hah reports. a constant buzz of activity. this company makes cranes and lifting equipment for industrial sites across asia. last year they opened the largest manufacturing facility in southeast asia. asign of a sign of confidence in future growth. 20 years ago its business ranked almost 70% in a matter of months. this man was starting out in the family business in malaysia which included the company. we were seeing first customers come back and saying we probably can't take delivery, or we will take delivery but we cannot pay the final bill. in that year, ‘97, the damage when we looked at our books, will always be

manila, the capital city of one of the most dynamic economies in south east asia. devastated the region, the philippines managed to pull through better than its neighbours. so, how did it happen? 0ne better than its neighbours. so, how did it happen? one of the crucial factors was its remittance economy — everyday hundreds if not thousands of people queue up here to try to get the permits to work overseas. the money they send back helps to drive consumption and keep the economy buoyant. 20 years ago remittance is made up 6%— 8% of gdp — that nearly doubled in 2005. today it is still worth 10% of the national income. what other factors helped the philippines ride out the crisis and recover quicker than eve ryo ne crisis and recover quicker than everyone else? we were late in the game in the property sector, so we didn't have a property bubble just yet at the time. compared with thailand and indonesia, you know, they had a property bubble that was financed by dollar debts. but at the same time... it was a tough time for many. in 1997 wellington song watched his busin

and we have all those bases not just in europe but in the middle east and in east asia and the entireeuro-asian homeland. they don't play games in u.s. soil. many countries in nato are relatively small and not wealthy countries. they are not contribute tenal divisions to our military efforts, however, they are vital things they can contribute through their geopolitical position and insights that they may have. that's one reason why we have nato and we have all those bases overseas. president trump is very right that nato allies need to spend the amount of money that they -- we all pledge today each other a few years ago and that too many have not been doing and the most important countries are the larger richers ones like germany, it would be nice if the smaller poorer countries in nato spend enough to meet that commitment as well. but again, the country of aa couple million people in a relatively limited economy you are not going to fill ten divisions. it's not a political matter, deterrent is a military matter and vladimir putin knows just like agresessors always know that no words

reason why we have all the forward deployed bases in places like europe and the middle east and east asia. yes, it is to assure our allies and help defend them but more than anything it is forward defense for the united states and our citizens and territory so any war fought will be fought as an away game on our enemies turf, not a home game on our turf. that's why missile defense is a must have technology for our military. it's not a nice to have one. it's only becoming more so because our rivals are continuing to advance their ballistic and cruise missile technology. i divide the threats we face into short-term and long-term. short-term is north korea and longer-term are iran, russia and china as they deploy and imore advanced systems. there are four things we need to do to counteract the threats. first increase our defense spending. second spend some of the additional money on integrative layered ballistic missile defense systems third, help our allies develop their own missile defense systems and forth reconsider and reevaluate the intermediate range and nuclear forces treaty. first,

in east asia. moreover, both russia and china are blurring the doctrinal separation between nuclear and conventional weapons use. now, some may say ballistic missile defenses are provocative to our adversaries because it can stir the balance of detirants. but i would say the balance is already being disturbed by these technological advances as well as these blurred doctrinal lines. russia sees theater weapons in limited nuclear use against conventional military targets as a way to escalate, to deescalate in their terms, to end a conventional conflict in favorable terms to russia. no use doctrine which can occur of course at any point up to the decision to use nuclear weapons in a crisis. chinese military journals discuss the use of nuclear weapons as a higher level component of an anti-access aerial denial strategy in the western pacific. with regard to china, also must note that we have to deal with the fact that the size and the quality of its nuclear forces remain largely a mystery to us. as we

and we have all those bases not just in europe but in the middle east and in east asia and the entire euroasian homeland. so our military plays road games. they don't play home games here on u.s. soil. many of the countries in nato are relatively small and they're not wealthy countries. they're not going to contribute, you know, ten divisions to our military. to our military efforts. however, there are vital things they can contribute through their geopolitical position and through accesses or insights they may have. that's one reason why we have nato and we have all those bases overseas. president trump is very right that our nato allies need to spend the amount of money that we all pledge to each other a few years allege. and that too many have not been doing. the most important countries are the larger richer ones like germany. it would be nice if the smaller poorer countries in nato spent enough to meet that commitment as well. but again, if you're a country of a couple million people and a relatively limited economy, you're not going to field ten mechanized divisions. ultimately

europe, east asia, the middle east. , the united states has been successful. areas, thee three american goal resembles and is in a way a descendent of great britain's traditional policy for europe. that was to prevent any single power from dominating the continent, from which position it could menace the british isles. the british thought there major modern wars to prevent a single power from dominating the continent. the united states did not have to deploy american troops on the ground. in the middle east. and one important reason for this, not the only reason, but an important reason was, israeli military strength, combined with the fact that israel did not seek and in fact actively rejected the presence of american troops on its territories. has proven to be a reliable surrogate for the united states in this volatile region. that has meant that american policy in the middle east, on the whole, not always -- has assumed the form that britain preferred for centuries, namely balance.of offshore united states was a balancer in east asia, especially in europe.

the president's remarks duringlast year's election campaign on nonproliferation in the east asia , have been widely the subject of much penryn as you see all over the place. they are often quoted essentially for shock value, apparently on the theory that they send signals some kind of cavalier attitude toward nuclear weapons and the challenge of proliferation. if that's your concern, i urge you to read assessor comments more carefully. the president has spoken about the proliferation dangers better doing on what he has made clear he feels to be a us course in recent years of relative military decline, a trajectory along which he has said our military has become depleted and are nuclear arsenal become outdated. in terms of our position the president has said and i'll be intermixing quotes from time to time. i'm not going to go through do the weird scare quotes thing but in terms of relative military capability the president has said we are not the same country as we used be. this decline has had a detrimental effect on our relationships and on peace and security in various regions. incid

we have been reporting all week, it's been 20 years since the financial crisis that swept through east asiar the last in our series, we are in the philippines. when the crisis hit in 1997, in economic terms, it was widely seen as the "sick man of asia." but the economy didn't suffer as much as its neighbours in the region, in part thanks to the millions of filipinos who work abroad and send money home. our own rico hizon has been back to his home city of manila to find out why the philippines is now one of the fastest growing economies in asia. watch it on world business report. and if you want to get involved, tell me what you would like to ask our aviation expert about the ba strike on twitter. i'm @rachelhornebbc. hong kong is officially marking 20 years since the end of british colonial rule. the chinese president, xijinping, is visiting the territory for the first time since he became leader, in 2013. he inspected the people's liberation army barracks just a short while ago. he applauded the government for their handling of major political and legal issues. let's go live to hong kong.

and i wasjust watching jeremy corbyn at short time ago on east asia north london, losing his voice, slightly are feeling on this home straight. yes, i figured interesting. there is a slightly traditional element. this is an election that is taking place in 2017, but there has been a lot of big open—air and indoor campaign rallies byjeremy corbyn, lest by theresa may, though she has done a few. jeremy corbyn has been talking to big crowd. and that is what happens. it takes a toll. he has done three orfour of happens. it takes a toll. he has done three or four of those events today. so he is feeling the pace of it. but is interesting, because he is saying that this time around, he believes that the labour party has that the mainstream centre ground of british politics. and there is interesting thing here in britain at the moment, which is that after a long time, 20 odd years, of what you would call manager of politics, which is people really not disagreeing, the party is not really disagreeing, the party is not really disagreeing, on how the economy should be run, or the particular aims, here
