japan controls the islands in the east china sea. china and taiwan claim them. the japanese government maintains the islands are an inherent part of the country. the jjsf will set up a new mobile unit of 3,000 personnel within five years. it will have the capabilities to promptly retake any islands in the event of them being seized. that is a part of japan's new defense strategy. japanese government decided to enhance the capabilities of the self-defense forces and other agencies to respond to unlawful acts concerning remote islands. in his speech, he referred indirectly to china. >> they are a nation that repeat their attempts to change the status quo by force and gradually escalating their activities. these nations demand the so-called core -- >> reporter: he says it's the reality that japan must face up to. the sdf are also trying to strengthen defense ties with other countries, including india and australia and have conducted joint maritime security exercises. he said japan's bilateral relationship with the u.s. is at the center of regional security in the a

i would keep it in rhode island.first we have to take a hard look at it and see if there are any ways to reduce the costs. and secondly we need to be creative. i would not put a surcharge on policyholders because rhode island families are struggling as it is. i'm very interested in the possibility of licensing it and selling it to other states because of something rhode island has done such a good job of. i understand other states are interested in that could be a revenue stream. i will tell you recently my daughter had strep throat and she woke up in the morning and she was sick. we quickly called the pediatrician, guided her in there is tested positive for strep and got a ride on the medication. it occurred to me every parent deserves the opportunity to do that for their kids to have health insurance and access to good care. that's exactly what it's providing so we have to figure out a way to fund it. >> moderator: are using a reasonable marketplace? raimondo: which overtime would lower costs for small business bus
