we still have some companies from the u.s., from france, australia, malaysia, russia. we are working on that aspect. there is a pressure coming from china, but how far the pressure can work depends on how the companies look at it. this cannot happen in a moment. but it will. i remember last year, secretary robert gates speaking at a function in singapore. he mentioned about the way china bullied the neighboring companies. he mentioned that the chinese press put pressures on the u.s. companies to stop their operations in south china sea. he was direct -- he characterized as a direct threat to u.s. interests. i hope he will be -- it will be better in the time to come. >> of follow up on something you said during your remarks. you mentioned several times the importance and the need to develop mutual trust and understanding, particularly between the u.s. and vietnam, and last year, when prime minister -- when you're prime minister was here, they announced a series of initiatives. in education, as you mention, but also the intention to explore opening the peace corps in the

there is a push for strict sharia law in some areas in malaysia and indonesia.a law is a very radical interpretation of the koran. women cannot hold jobs. the punishment for violation of these laws is reprehensible to most americans. we need to foster the kind of diversity that was the basis of the constitution of indonesia. freedom and diversity. in other words, they have a small but numerous christian population. that was a basis upon which the country was set up. the president is and observing muslim but recognizes that muslims can choose their own religion, but kristin cit -- but as a question, i am concerned that there are attacks on christians in many of these countries. again, that is another subject, how religious persecution continues in the world. we want to make sure a christian country does not discriminate against muslims, but we are concerned when there are muslim countries where questions are killed for practicing their faith. host: next phone call. allen from detroit. caller: the real problem is iran. they are behind all of these problems in the

there remain questions of political transitions in countries such as thailand and malaysia.there's also a question of whether others will recognize the emerging countries. china seems to be doing so. the long-term impact may depend on commodities, especially oil prices, which gave very high returns. when the oil price is at $100 a barrel, these countries are strong. when it is at $30 a barrel, some are in serious trouble. they have to build an economy in a world that is struggling to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. investors moved in and out of the asset class. will countries use these returns wisely? these are the questions for russia, countries in the gulf, and some in latin america and asia. understanding is shifting power relations is a fundamental to understanding of the future. the political basis for that system was forced through a shared assistance after world war i and after world war ii. the nature of the markets that connect them and the system looks out of touch. will the u.s. dollar remained the predominant reserve currency? the current system gave way in
