. ., itself in that way in the pacific— itself in that way in the pacific. ., ., ., , pacific.acific. you mentioned a bit i about biden's recent trilateral summit with south korea and japan, now he is in vietnam. what would she, should we make of this recent push to strengthen alliances in the indo—pacific region? the strengthen alliances in the indo-pacific region? the way that biden — indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed _ indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed it - indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed it in - indo-pacific region? the way that biden framed it in his i that biden framed it in his press conference last night, he said that he does not want to be seen as taking over china's position but ratherjust wants that everything to be fair. he said everything should be on the up and up. that is a quote. what we are seeing is biden is trying to appeal to those in the indo—pacific presenting a case that china's struggling economy is no match for the power of the united states. but also a case to the us voters, as we head into the 20 �*24 election,

the challenge for many pacific islanders is they want to be united, they want to show the pacific islandsre together in how they approach the united states and china. when one of the leaders does not show up to a fairly significant summit, that's a disappointment not just for washington but the other pacific islanders. i think you are going to see a variety of views across the pacific, some countries leading more -- leaning more toward washington. the united states has compacts of free association with three islands. those islands really lean toward washington. solomon islands and a couple of the others are leaning toward china. the challenge for the islanders is to manage this dynamic without a fracture among the pacific islands. that's going to be a challenge. lisa: a quick question about u.s. leadership. you mentioned those compacts. three of those island nations depend on the u.s. for things like mail, but we are heading into a possible government shutdown and that could be cut off. is there a question about u.s. government leadership and stability because of what's happening in washi

can work hand-in-hand with allies to promote stability in the indo-pacific. it's a good example of the way we do things globally. in europe we have nato. we don't have a native equivalent in the indopacom but we do have these networks allison to want to plot the biden administration to work with south korea and japan. camp david meeting, it probably wasn't as big headline here at home because we have good relations with japan and south korea but the work of the administration to forge closeea relationships between those nations, the mil to mil relationship has been strong but limited by challenges. that was an important summit and i just want to applaud the biden administration on that. from my vantage point on foreign relations committee and chairman of the seapower subcommittee on services, this aukus partnership is very exciting to me and is also exciting because the virginia class summaries are built in virginia and connecticut provide the opportunity to take ambassador rudd to her shipyard about a month ago to really dig into the tremendous assets we hav

and the pacific region. but none of them seem to be allied with china or something might say that washington is trying to build its own force of support in the region. i don't know, nelson. what do you think as well as it, but looking at the news its, uh, its apparently a big show actually uh, the usa is putting all at the moment. uh but uh, let's look at the facts. uh, what is it going all by promising? uh, 200 milling or even more uh, financial right to help these countries to, to improve the economy or the livelihood of the people. if they really do this, i think it's good news and i think the whole world should well come with that. uh, but uh, when it comes to the question of the us looking at mold this as a measure to contain china is expansion into that region. will this be of inc, was, i think they've got it wrong because i think they are all still living in the past . because china is not the soviet union from china is development is not being competition with the us to fight for global supremacy. it

how the alliance can improve security in the end of pacific region u.s.ational security and investments in submarine production and maintenance. held by the senate foreign relations committee. [background noises] [background noises] [background noises] [inaudible conversations] this hearing of the senate foreign relations committee will come to order. in march, president biden stood alongside leaders of the united kingdom and australia to announce l the aukus agreement. generational opportunity that will enhance u.s. national security interest by transforming our alliances. deterring aggression for the people's republic of china. fostering a more peaceful and stable indo pacific. beijing today has the world's largest navy. xi jinping's hyper- nationalist government has been laying claim to territory in international waters. to built artificial islands for new operating basis is with the runways for military aircraft and ballistic missiles. at the samesi time they are aggressively trying to influence australian politics and civil society. buying critical i

all right, so american interest in the pacific northwest. having stagnated for decades suddenly increases dramatically. it takes the form of both settlers emigrating to the west but then also politicians, american statesmen, increasingly becoming willing to confront the british in order to resolve this boundary dispute in america's favor favor. and again, the respective approach is to colonization on the part of britain and the united states are a study in contrast. remember the hudson's bay. discouraged settlement it made no attempt to bring europe and women to the region to start families and to establish a permanent settler society. no attempt at all. the hbc discouraged ownership of lands. it was purely and extractive resource colony and indigenous were viewed by the hudson's bay company for their utility in company operations. there was no drive the part of the british to dispossess this native peoples of lands, no effort to place them reservations that would have been detrimental to the companies operations to mention its profits. amer

for our ability to deter the indo pacific and bubbly. sen. shaheen: i do not think that was an answer to my question. my question was, based on what i know about our situation at present, do not yet have that can pass. -- that capacity. dr. karlin: i want to make sure i understand which capacity you are talking about. the way aukus is set up we wouldn't be selling submarines to australia for at least a few years in terms of delivery. we continue on the trajectory with maintenance we have several more submarines operationally available at that time. when i look at that operationally available picture, it is more satisfying to be able to ensure the strategic intent of aukus. sen. shaheen: if we continue to invest at the rate we are investing, by the time our commitment to provide those submarines comes due, we will have that capacity? dr. karlin: at this stage, with the information we have, it appears we are on that right trajectory in terms of the impacts of investments. this is an area that one needs to monitor closely. i'm delighted to hear

well, what's the nature of doing in the pacific is it which far to pacific falls into the north atlantic ocean. and you know, of course, are destabilizing the region that you right now to you. this is the endless exercise analysts military alliance. you already have the us try later alliance with japan, south korea, and on top of that, you have off cuz you have a slot. i mean what it just throwing nato. yeah. why not throwing nato in there and g, u as well. but you realistically, what can they do? they can read with all the might of nato, they can not carry out this ukraine or offensive successful way against russia. what can they expect to accomplish in asia pacific, where they, they face even a much more formidable um, adversary in, in, in, in terms of china's industrial capacity. i mean, it's just a joke. well, come on call. let's be serious. i mean, come on out. nato is a defensive organization, it was defensive when that bond cause of o and libya now getting involved in ukraine. and of course, nato is defensive because it wants to set up a base in japan. all to contribute to college

national security defense it into pacific strategies.ith the goal of advancing a freeg and open connected secure resilient and prosperous and a pacific. aukusre supports our shared visn of a world that is stable and prosperous were countries thrive, trait and collaborate to address shared challenges. were all countries are empowered to make their own sovereign decisions free from coercion. free and open pacific region is global to security and prosperity which is what we must deepen cooperation now. like our other partners across the atlantic and end up pacific aukus partners understand the critical role the region plays in global trade and global prosperity. economic growth and prosperity required stability and predictability conditions aukus seeks to undergird their enhance deterrencee and security. our alliances and partnerships have played a foundational role in contributing to peace andtr prosperity in the end of pacific for the last 70 years. aukus is a concrete commitment to strengthening these partnerships by integrating our part

that means the united states has strengthened ties with another critical window pacific partner. progress today builds on camp david the trilateral and republic of korea and the united states, the partnership in the united states launched and in engagement with the pacific island forum. our strength and alliances partnership with australia and the united kingdom with india, australia and japan and the indo pacific economic frameworkri for prosperity. and all the efforts were advanced from day one of my administration to demonstrate to the indo pacific partners in the world of the united states is the pacific nation and we are not going anywhere. let me also speak to the significant business we got done during the g20 summit. this was an important moment for the united states to demonstrate our global leadership and commitment to solving the challenges that matter most to people around the world. investing in growth and sustainable development. addressing the climate crisis, strengthening the food security and education, advancing global health and health security. we showed up re

they must present -- they present significant threat in the indo pacific and beyond. attempts to appease or engage in arms trade with north korea must be stopped. we sternly warned these actions for just flagrantly violate multiple resolutions and endanger the security of korea. permanent members of the security council, including russia and china, have a duty to abide by binding resolutions adopted by the council. i cannot emphasize this enough. meanwhile, north korea continues to squander scarce resources on advancing their unlawful nuclear and ballistic missile program. it is launching record numbers of missiles and so-called satellites when its own people are starving and suffering economic hardship. the human rights of north korean people and security on the korean peninsula are closely connected. the multimillion and tens of millions of dollars diverted to every missile launch should have been spent on improving the lives of its own starving people. north korea's actions are irrational, irresponsible, and immoral. ladies and gentlemen, korea and the united state

when the pacific is united, you -- it is beginning to be felt. the hope and excitation of many of the expectations. the u.s. and china will be able to come out rather than compete cannot collaborate and cooperate on the climate challenges across the pacific. it has been relentless in saying the climate challenge is by far the most important challenge that these countries face. if we are not responding to the most important challenge these countries face, we are probably not listening and responding to an they are saying. >> thank you. adopting the global warming is only part of the equation. the biggest response ability as he says for the biggest countries is putting in place the policies to reach net zero 2050. there's been criticism of the british prime minister who is delayed by five years about new gas and diesel cars due to take effect in 2030. he's been watching other climate goals which he says pose unacceptable costs on ordinary people. in france, the president says they have not been near ambitious enough. in the past few hours he is bee

warm air that's usually in the western pacific periodically every 2 to 7 years shifts into eastern pacific. and along with that shift, it changes the jet stream pattern, the storm track patterns around the world. >> okay. so then how does that translate into any influences on our weather pattern as well as the storm track shifts? >> the one of the signatures we sometimes see is that the southern latin to jet stream across southern california, the southern tier of states gets stronger. we see more storms there going farther north in the pacific northwest, we get sort of gets left out and it's drier than normal. however, that that's just the average pattern. we just it's really important to keep in mind that that average is made up of a huge range of somewhat years and some dry years. >> okay. so the federal climate prediction center today predicting a 95% chance of a strong el nino this winter. you know, given what you just told us about the fact that it's averages and it sounds like we don't really know what that means for us, the layman just wondering if we're going to get more rain or no

a stable base in the indo pacific. for example, when i was talking with president xi, he asked why we were -- why i was going to have the meeting in australia, india, japan and the united states and i said to maintain stability. i said it is not about isolating china, it is about making sure the rules of the road, everything with airspace and the space and ocean and international rules are abided by. and so, i hope -- i think that prime minister xi i mean, xi has some difficulties right now. every country has difficulties as the economy works its way through. but i want to see an economy with new -- following the rules. the next question was to bloomberg. >> mr. president, with your comments of china and the economy you call china a ticking time bomb. do you believe the country is destabilizing the global economy or causing china to be more aggressive -- >> what is your question again, this fan is going behind me, it is loud. >> no worries do you think the growth is destabilizing the global economy or -- and are you wo

washington is hosting a summit of pacific island leaders in a bid to counter chinese influence in the climate change and sustainable development are on the agenda. >> the message to china today. >> it is the second time the pacific island nations and territories have gathered at the white house for a single purpose, countering china in their region. >> the u.s. is committed to securing a region that is free, open, prosperous and secure. >> monday, 18 leaders met with president biden as the u.s. offered economic assistance and security guarantees including to fight illegal fishing in an effort to bolster engagement. >> the u.s. wants the pacific islands to think it is not all about china when i think we all know it really is. >> among u.s. promises, billions for infrastructure, including undersea cable connectivity and the establishment of diplomatic recognition with the cook islands. embassies established in tonga and the solomon islands. despite the new solomon islands embassy, the prime minister was absent from the from and last week at the un's general assembly, he raised china --

climate resilience in the pacific islands. marine protection throughout southeast asia. the united states and our partners are committed to making and demonstrating a stronger offer to countries in the region and to developing countries around the world working to deliver on the issues that matter in their lives from high quality infrastructure to inclusive economic growth, to climate resilience and adaptation solutions. the strength of that offer is directly tied to the strength of the partnerships working to deliver it. technology innovation have long been the foundation of both of our countries economic strength and we're broadening our cooperation there to take on global challenges. for example, we are collaborating on potential green shipping corridors between our countries which will require all ships to use lower emission fuels and all ports to reduce emissions so we can get the shipping sector on the path to decarbonization. and we're emerging partnerships to enhanced collaboration from biotechnology, battery semiconductors, and digital quantum technologies and t

they are all part of indo-pacific strategy and our indo-pacific strategy has many things in common. so we have to -- and this global -- basically very good for us, opportunity, areas of opportunity as president biden said. on the other hand, these new frontiers are full of opportunities. for example, we could face all noted 2000 at the same time, kind of an perfect storm. but the least of things we know we have -- through washington declaration, economic security joint statement. i think that we have many areas where -- south korea come even japan can do better than any other country in the world. so i think you can make progress very -- about, for example, ai, bio, semiconductor, the quantum computing, for example. the how to strike a fine balance and how to read expectations other businesses, not just korean but american and japan or taiwan and others. so think sometimes businesses are more sensitive to those kinds of negotiations, so how to walk together with the business sectors, then how to all these together. in that case is new frontier issues can be our best -- and can be ne

we achieved this result even before the official entry into the pacific fleet, the team quickly tested action during an exercise in the sea of ​​japan. the crew carried out missile firing and from the uran anti-ship complex, in addition to it, the corvette is armed with a modern anti-aircraft missile system redoubt , an artillery installation, torpedoes, and a powerful arsenal of radar and electronic equipment thanks to innovative materials. he was practically unnoticed by the enemy and can fight both surface ships and submarines; destroy the enemy's coastal outpost; the sharp one is also tough on the quay wall; the recruit will not stay long in the combat training plan in the pacific. more than rich and the newly adopted device, the patrol ship will have to demonstrate missile fire and the full power of artillery more than once in exercises and training. among us is one of the maximians far eastern bureau of ntv kim jong-un highly appreciated the results of his trip to russia, the leader’s statement was published on the website of the central telegraph agency of north korea, according

today it is accepted into the pacific fleet.his , the new, but already proven, ships of this project are worthy of serving in the pacific ocean. these are loud corvettes, the perfect hero of russia aldartsypov corvette sharp will become the fourth twin brother in their line. he himself is already tried his hand at sea. here is footage of the shooting that sharp carried out this summer. it is armed with the uran anti-ship complex from the republic of kazakhstan redoubt torpedoes , an ak-190 artillery mount , large-caliber machine guns and grenade launchers, which flies on may 3. there is no such ship yet, not a single hunting second on the deck of the ship next to the crew. the shipwrights who built this corvette in komsomolsk-on-amur lined up, the ship is completely domestic, those who created it and those who will now serve on board the corvette congratulated the commander-in-chief of the navy nikolai evmenonov. this is where modular principles are present first of all. this is the destruction of enemy warships and military inf

[applause] >> admiral aquilino, , it's gret to be back with you, sitting appear, and antidote it's more it's more liberating to be one asking the questions than answering the question so i feel good about that. we have about 40 minutes together, and we're going to talk a little bit about the indo-pacific and your way of supporting defense deterrence and perhaps all the bits about the threat. we'll get into specific capability discussion but let me begin by echoing comments about the loss of our three marines over the weekend and the eight that are still recovering from their injuries, to the command, to the marine corps and most important to the families. and before we begin i will give you a chance to greet the crowd to make any o

to be part of the biden administration's effort to show up alliances and partnerships in the asia pacifich countries like japan, south korea as well as the philippines etc etc. now rhetorically the biden administration shows claim that they want to stabilize the ties was china, but their real action sometimes would give you a different impression, and that's being said, i think um, really realistically speaking, vietnam is unlikely to board the us. as vessel when we talk about contering china or containing china in this region not only because of the you know brutal history between vietnam and and and the united states, but also realistically between china and the vietnam, there is huge economic and trade here. chinese companies are investing in large quantities in vietnam and many western based multinational uh companies have supply chains in both china and vietnam and they'... depend a good connection and relations between these two countries uh to maintain their business, their international business competitiveness. so yeah, like i mentioned earlier, this territorial maritime dispute

climate change, threats and challenges in the indo—pacific, and. challenges in the indo—pacific, and, and of course he will _ challenges in the indo—pacific, and of course he will devote _ challenges in the indo—pacific, and of course he will devote quite - challenges in the indo—pacific, and of course he will devote quite a - challenges in the indo—pacific, and of course he will devote quite a bitj of course he will devote quite a bit of course he will devote quite a bit of time _ of course he will devote quite a bit of time talking _ of course he will devote quite a bit of time talking about _ of course he will devote quite a bit of time talking about the - of course he will devote quite a bit . of time talking about the importance of time talking about the importance of international— of time talking about the importance of international support _ of time talking about the importance of international support for - of international support for economic— of international support for economic development- of international support for| economic development and infrastructure _ economi

and in the pacific. so we decided that the relevance story really related to these core values of the nordic region and how those values have been kind of along with immigrants come have to the united states and they've morphed changed and being able to kind of study that in the context of scandinavia and the nordic region and looking at that through the lens of nordic america. and what are the contributions these nordic people and these immigrants have made to the us. and then how do you tell that story that's going to be interested in an interest to people who may not share that that background in that. well mr. nelson another nordic trait is frugality how did you raise $50 million? yeah. yeah, there is absolutely no question that one of the values that we're taught is how to make sure we are not not wasting our hard earned anger and it definitely is. it was a it was a different challenge. the the community, the scandinavian nordic community in the pacific northwest is kind of divided into. many subsec

as chairman of the senate -- east asia and the pacific.l be exploring these questions more deeply at an upcoming hearing i am holding on the korean peninsula and getting what i know will be good advice from dr. chop -- who will be one of the witnesses -- dr.cha. who will be one of the witnesses. president xi is taking note of the unity of the nato alliance as well as the south korea japan and other democratic partners in the face of that aggression. in fact, our competitor -- comparative advantage meeting the challenges opposed by russia, prc or other authoritarian regimes has been the strength of our alliance and the ability to mobilize those alliances to face common threats. last week ukrainian president zelenskyy delivered a clear message when we met in the old senate chamber. the message that this is no time to waver in our support for ukraine. president biden has proposed a supplemental request of $24 billion for ukraine. we must make at least a down payment on that amount as far as any short-term continuing resolution. i know there i
