ian bremmer: china.ne thing i would say about china is i believe the chinese are not trying to particularly threatened the americans militarily. they recognize they do not have the ability to compete anywhere outside of their immediate backyard. in their backyard, they will occasionally shake the branches but if they get whacked back, unless it is taiwan or hong kong , they back off. americans actually responded well to china on japan. the chinese japan relationship is much better than a couple years ago. we came over and said, this is a key ally and we are going to treat contested territories consistent with the u.s. the americans have the ability -- i think we did. i think on the south china sea issue, americans are saying we are going to send other ships over there and contest the chinese in building these artificial reefs. charlie: how do we build the relationship? how do we create confidence? ian bremmer: we don't have high-level set -- high-level summits. it's clear the u.s. china relationship is t

ultimately, they come for us. >> do we care, ian bremmer? you have a new book but also a "time international" cover story in which you actually poll americans as to whether they want to go around fixing the world's problems and what are the results? >> well, the good news is that there really is space for a debate here, that americans are all over the map in terms of whether they believe we need to live up to our values, be more of a global policeman, lead if otherwise there would be a vacuum and those that want to pull out. but there's a problem here. and that is a huge generational divide. and the younger you get the more you have americans saying we do not want to touch these things. and the problem you have is that the candidates, while they are at least starting to really debate some of the foreign policy issues in way that in 2012 the election really didn't, the willingness to actually stand up and talk about the costs, talk about what would be required to truly take a leadership role in helping to build a coalition, fix the iraqi army

joining us now is ian bremmer, thanks for being with us zbls great to be with you. >> this debate continuesay out about our role in the world moving forward, it seems many people are on one side or the other. we should not intervene at all or it is our role in the world to step up and stop the chaos from happening. you say it's not so black and white, we have three options what are those? >> i we need co-heerns, i think the reason obama's ratings are weakest on foreign policy because americans are unnerved that the globe seems to be going badly and the economy is picking up -- the first one that's very familiar to a lot of americans, indispensable america, we dont want to be the world's policeman, but if we don't do it no one elsewhere and that means we have to work o strengthen alliances and promote values like democracy and human rights around the world and even take the pain and destroy isis ourselves if no one elsewhere. the second one money ball america which i take from michael lewis, the idea of being nonsentimental, not about our values abroad. russians aren't going to listen to us

we begin this evening with ian bremmer, his book is superpower, three choices for america's role in the world. >> i don't believe we are in a corner, i don't believe that america has only one path and i get a little unnerved when you have people out there in political leaders out there saying this is the only thing we must do, is be strong or give up. i think the world's only superpower, no one else is even close with the ability to project the kind of coordinated military, economic, diplomatic, technological and soft cultural power that america has and so i do think we have real options and i lay out the three that i think are most credible. >> rose: we conclude this evening with al huntington story this time with barbara comstock and debbie dingell. i think where people are used to having, you know, a lot of balls in the air, i think we have to find answers. i think we are thrust into situations where, you know, you just can't -- take strong lines in the sand. we have to solve problems and i think that is that we tend to do. >> rose: bremmer, hunt comstock and dingell when we continue

we had ian bremmer on yesterday with his wonderful phrase of g-0.ned is g-7 this morning? hans: they seem very collegial. the idea that the g-7, they like a lot of power that the g-20 has. it is difficult to have a finance summit when you do not have brazil or china. that is the situation they find themselves. here they are trying to solve greece on the sidelines, and yet there is no representative from the greek government. tom: i look at this and trying to get things done and i noticed lawrence summers showed up to opine. what is the backstory at these meetings? you have been to 47. what is the backstory? hans: the backstory here is how you get greece to start negotiating and except the seriousness of the problem. what is changed in the last 48 hours is the voices that have been critical of greece. put something on paper. then this morning an interview with the german broadcaster, madame lagarde says it takes two to tango and she seemed to be criticizing greece for not moving close enough, for not actually putting proposals on the table. q1 a meta
