china navy needs to understand that the u.s. navy can sink the chinese navy, amen, brother. and this is important, here is a guy that has a gazillion dollar corporation that he built from scratch. he says to us at ndia as industry folks, we've got to maintain some economic ties to china because if we don't, where is the incentive for china to basically behave properly? so he said we've got to have the stick, but we also have to have the carrot. finding that balance is very, very difficult. i would say in that regard though, our industry is ready and able to increase capacity to meet these new demands, but we will need a clear and firm signal from our government, both from the dod and the congress. when covid first hit. there was neither any protections nor any real understanding of the nature of the pandemic. our defense industry was one of the view that stayed on the job since the national security mission was so important. in some states, we actually had to fight with the governors to be allowed to come to work. so, we need to ensure that senior decision makers in the buil

navy can sink the chinese navy, bottom line amen brother. he hit the nail on the head. the second thing he said this is also really important is here is a guy except to us as industry folks, we have got to maintain some economic ties to china. because if we don't where's the incentive for china to basically behave properly? we've got to have the stick but we also have to have a carrot. finding that balance is very, very difficult. i would say in that regard though, our industry is ready and able to complete his capacity to meet these new demands. we need a clear and firm signal from our government from dod and the congress. when covid first hit any real understanding of the nature of the pandemic. our defense industry is one of the few that stayed on the job the national security mission was so important. in some states we exited to fight with the governors to be allowed to come to work. so, we need to ensure senior decision-makers in the building and in the congress are knowledgeable of what our industry has done to meet their requirements at a very demanding and chall

the chinese navy is now larger than the u.s.navy, they are cranking out new ships at a rate of 5 to 1. their space force is launching more into space than the united states and the rest of the world combined. as you mentioned, they are also launching new technologies that we are struggling to play catch-up, including hypersonic missiles that are incredibly difficult, if not impossible for us right now to defend against. so, you know, look, i think -- i agree with my colleague, ro khanna, the president should start with china, describe it for what it is, the most serious adversary we have ever faced. even against the soviet union never faced one that could rival us economically and technologically at the same time they could militarily. and so that's, we need to hear from the president, i believe, that this spy balloon was a sputnik moment for all americans. we have been talking about this tidal wave of espionage we are facing but obviously it's behind the scenes. this was very visible, very tangible, and i think it should serve

so they are practicing with the russian navy and u.s.avy so they seem to seem to be taking advantage of that. but to what extent are they learning what they are practicing pressing their commanders it's hard to tell the absence of actual operation. >> doctor becker in your testimony you describe how china is in the process of building out the overseas infrastructure including defending their own investments and also use speculate about the high end of the spectrum how china might be able to use these strengthen positions to constrain the united states but conceivably how to use these positions in the event of a conflict with the united states so what kind of a challenge do you think this activity poses to the united states in the near or medium-term and should we be thinking about the highest end of the spectrum as you suggest we should and what are the implications for our ability to conduct military operations and trying to succeed to build out this infrastructure? >> that's a great question. these are implications to be more active ab

and we built a 500-plus ship navy, combination of manned and unmanned ships. wanted to get into distributed lethality. get away from big ship. build more amphibious capability. a number of things. but the number one thing we concluded is if we did nothing else, did nothing else, we should be building three submarines a year. submarine were a distinct advantage we have that we should exploit and continue to develop. we still haven't done it. it was interesting that your war game due drew the same conclusion, as i recall. seth: except it's unclassified. mark: our report was unclassified too seth: on that, march of this year, i think we'll get an announcement on submarines. maybe it's virginia class. maybe it's -- australians want to do something else. ship yardz are struggling right now. so what is your sense about if virginia class gets a nod on building, do we have the industrial base right now including the naval industrial base that we need including for something like this? mark: the the industrial base is not just should yard but workers. when we put toget

navy.eas the u.s. has about 300. the u.s. navy secretary said china has a significant advantage when it comes to ship building, and that gap is expected to grow even though there are plans to modernize the u.s. navy. now, one thing, however, that china is doing with this kind of aggressive actions in places like the south china sea is it's pushing smaller countries like the fill peep philippines, whic of years ago was ready to end military relations with the u.s. to now try to expand it, the philippines inviting u.s. forces to operate out of more philippines bases. japan recently announcing it will dramatically expand its defense expenditures, and the u.s. is partnering up with countries like australia and the uk to build nuclear submarines. all of this is aimed at basically force projection and trying to convince beijing to think twice before acting too provocatively in some of these contested areas as we've seen russia do in ukraine. >> yeah, ivan watson, appreciate it, thank you. >>> com

but you're there, now the navy is working to try to recover this, because what officials want to know is what exactly this balloon could see. you know, what are you hearing from officials on how long this is going to take? >> reporter: yeah, so, kaitlan, we are in the ocean right now, behind me is myrtle beach, the shoreline there. and then, out on the horizon is where we can start to see some of what appears to be those navy vessels. now, look, when that suspected chinese spy balloon was shot down on saturday, we were told that they already had ships, they had vessels from the navy and the coastguard that were in the vicinity, that were able to come and sort of set up a perimeter. now, where we are right now, we're in the ocean, but it's actually not that deep. in fact, where that balloon came down, according to a u.s. military official, it's only about 47 feet. and so, they say that should make the recovery process fairly easy. essentially, what they have to do is they can use navy divers and they can also use these unmanned vessels that can essentially go under the water. they can
