their actions, prc actions, not any other nations are the thing that give us concern. i think that's what you are getting to. >> jake sullivan said this was more likely to happen on donald trump's watch because of donald trump's foreign policy. instead, dr. ratner, you conceded that the threat is more real today than it has been at any point in recent years. >> 2005 regardless of. >> let me carry on. north korea restarted missile tests in 2021 after a four-year pause in tezing. in 2022, north korea conducted a record number of missile tests. last sunday, the ninth missile test this year. narcotic, satellite images show north korea is building up missile testing. what do you think caused north korea to resume these measures since 2021 after a rather language hiatus? >> -- hill claims it is because of sanctions and that we haven't come to the table. i think it is more internal for him. i think it is fairly complicated when you think the moon administration's on a transition and i think as we have just talked about with china, you know, i think he defers to china, but he'

especially when it comes to against the prc. dr. ratner you were just talking about the quad, some of the challenges there when it comes to india's relationship with russia. do you feel like that's moving in a better direction? i want to ask you the uss india is the reliable partner that we need? is any concerns about the quad, about india moving forward in terms of their actions when we will need them in the future? >> congressman, i perceive the u.s.-india defense relationship is one with incredible momentum. we're going to hold our highest most senior-level engagement with them in early april. that's a 2+2 with secretary blinken come secretary austin, their counterparts and that meeting will discuss a number of activities that not only are unprecedented but are the kinds of things that would have been unimaginable ten years ago or even five years ago. obviously there are challenges with the relationship with india that i think they are manageable and we are moving forward very rapidly in deepening the partnership. >> i see those

we have made very clear to the prc that we will not allow any country, whether that is the prc, whether that's any country around the world, to attempt to compensate moscow for the losses that it is suffering, whether in the form of economic assistance, financial assistance, or materiel support to its war effort in ukraine. we been very clear with the prc yesterday, as you know, our national security adviser jake sullivan and delegation that included senior state department officials in rome yesterday, where they met with the national security adviser in the prc. this was another opportunity for us to lay out very clearly our concerns, and the implications as we're going to be watching very closely for any form of support that the prc makes to the russian federation. >> you say the u.s. will not allow military support. what does that mean? it would penalize it or seek to block that support from going into ukraine? >> jim, there would be severe consequences. and obviously we're not going to lay out what the consequences are, but those consequences would come not only from the united stat

prc influence, i should say.in 2020, sir, i think met with congressional support of the department of state began in earnest effort to ensure that american colleges and universities had a good understanding and disability into the activities of the prc on their campus. and that they're hosting of chinese nationals, ian american universities was consistent with exchange programs directives and policies. the bureau of education and cultural affairs began a considerable effort to ensure that updated guidance was needed to colleges intercity's who are sponsoring confucius institutes, the institutes that the chinese educational, higher educational system uses to support of chinese scholars around the world. in 2020, when that initiative began, 55 american universities for hosting a confucius institutes. over the course of the past two years, as american universities have sought to better understand the impact and activity of staff of confucius institute on their campuses, today only nine american colleges and universi

chairman, secretary austin described the prc as the top challenge. that will be reflected in the national defense strategy and fy23 budget as we continue to update our can september capabilities and enforced partner for the homeland and deter aggression and prevail in conflict. we have prioritizing capabilities relative to the china challenge for a joint force lethal and able to strike forces and systems at range. resilience and able to gain information advantage and maintain command and control through adversary disruptions, and seek to reduce combat power and mobilization speed. enable for sustainment for operations in a highly contested environment. alongside these capabilities we're building a combat credible force posture in the indo-pacific working toward a lethal and resilient forward posture essential to addressing the full suite of challenges we sways in the region. we're doubling down on one of our greatest strategic advantages, our networks. and see it growing at a rapid pace. with the u.s.-japan cornerstone, we are having the defense forc

we must look through prc issue as not just today. it is a a short-term problem, medium-term problem in a long-term problem. i can tell you what were doing today as it applies to adjusting her posture and places we operate from in the amount and position of forces were reported is important that power in a place that matters with the right capabilities today is a deterrent factor combine that with exercising operations with allies and partners presents a good deterrent today. on the capabilities i on the mid and longer-term i appreciate the department support for some of the asks. i highlighted a couple of them in my statement. the ability to operate in a contested space survivable as you highlighted in your statementty. the ability to have persistent awareness of all thingss going on. >> we kinda know that part, the question is what doess that mean to do that we need to build this and not build that we need to develop this technology what is going to survive what we need to put our money and so that happens. >> integrated and resilie

of course, the prc has been an outlier in this and we've made very clear our concerns to senior prc officialsan met with his chinese counterpart in rome, italy. again, this was another opportunity for us to express very clearly, very candidly our concerns and to speak to the implications. we're not going to detail those implications, but here's the point. we will be watching very closely to determine if the prc follows through on any effort to provide economic support, financial support, material support, or military support to russia and its war effort in ukraine. the fact is there will be significant consequences, not only significant consequences in terms of our bilateral relationship, but we'll work with what is to us one of our most powerful assets. that is our unprecedented sent of alliances and partnerships around the world will act in tandem with those allies and partners to hold the prc and any other country to account. >> if you can't detail exactly what the implications are for us, can you say that yesterday jake sullivan made it very clear to the official that here's what's going

the prc, the people's republic of china has been on the wrong side of history so far.haven't seen them condemn this aggression. we haven't seen them stand up in support of our ukrainian partners. and in some ways, that doesn't come as a surprise. the russians and the prc, they have a vision of the world that is in stark contrast to the free and open vision that we share with our allies and partners. their vision is one that's repressive at home and increasingly aggressive beyond their borders. so to see this partnership that has really developed over the course of years take on this shape and in many ways, that's not surprising. the national security adviser jake sullivan met with his prc counterpart earlier this week in rome. he was very clear, very direct in that meeting regarding the concerns we have with the potential for the prc to attempt to make up for some of the russian losses, whether it's economic losses, financial losses as a result of our crippling sanctions, the sanctions that we have imposed together with much of the rest of the world, or the provision o

that is something that is irresponsible for any country to do with her that is russia, the prc or any other country around the world. it's great umbrage into something that we are watching very closely. now look, the prc and russia have a relationship that is distinct from the relationship that we have with russia were most countries around the world have with russia. it's not for us to tell any country how it's relationship with russia or any other country for that matter must look but it is for us to lay out very clearly the implications on decisions that would have a bearing on our national security on the safety and security of the allies and partners. this is in the state department or the u.s. government: kootenay war crime. that still remains a personal opinion of the secretary of state. is that something you rolled out or a mechanism by which the u.s. can, would grant a war criminal? >> you are correct the assessment that the forces have committed war crimes now the united states government is not the only body that is investigating reports of potential war crimes. we are supp

the prc has good reason to fear because they continue to commit genocide and crimes against humanity and strangle democracy in hong kong and suppressed tibetan buddhist and other religious minorities from practicing their faith. prc authorities externalize their system further through acts of transnational repression including on her own shores. to counter these efforts, the united states is forging a common approach with like-minded partners, enhancing the resilience to coercion, promoting accountability to their abuses and pushing back against the use of forced labor and misuse of advanced and emerging technologies for repression. congress has provided us with important tools to promote accountability for the prc human rights abuses including global human rights accountability act and the uighur forced labor prevention act. over the course of this hearing, i hope to discuss other great examples of authoritarian leaders challenging international norms, suppressing the rights of their citizens and supporting one another. from iran, belarus, syria, and burma to venezuela and nicaragua

can to deter that effort by the prc and i think they are watching very closely. in fact, i think they made that statement, bret, because they have seen what has happened and they are trying go on the offense knowing that they ought to be on the defense. >> secretary sherman, thank you. thank you for your time this weekend. >> thank you. >> coming up we will get reactions from the top republican on the senate relations committee. bret: diplomatic efforts are fast becoming intertwined with another delicate matter is you just heard, 11th hour efforts to revive a nuclear deal with iran as russia tries to push back on sanctions. joining us now from boise idaho, ranking member of the foreign relations committee. welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thank you, bret. good to be with you again. >> you just heard deputy secretary sherman. let's start with iran and what is happening with that deal. what is your sense of this? >> well, you know, sitting here listening to this, i feel like the administration is living in an alternative universe from where we are. i heard wendy

in general, uh, the prc had and still has a rather serious disappointment from the biden administrationyet they had hope when he came to power for some kind of stabilization of relations instead . e, the baidn administration, accused them of genocide, formally made a statement that they were engaged in genocide in xinjiang, further strengthened cooperation with taiwan. and even at the same time with these appeals from the prc with a request to help against russia somehow. well, not against russia well, at least not to help, russia they continued to make some rather unpleasant steps, even small ones for the chinese. well, for example, here, for some reason, a clause was inserted into the laws of the budget that any card issued in the us on e, public money. taiwan must be depicted in a different color. which in general, well, this one is called cartographic aggression - it's a rather painful thing that usually happens. at the same time, uh, china, uh, actually provided russia with some assistance in the economic sphere, even against the backdrop of the events of 14-15, when he himself sti

so the prc is not honoring their agreement there either.i think that it's all nice to say these things diplomatically, but what are they really doing? i think now is the time. and i think the meeting that will take place in rome will really show whether china is actually ready to do something or if they're just going to talk about it. mohammed: is there a lot of concern among american officials right now that china would be able to lessen the impact of economic sanctions on russia? they would be able to help blunt the impact on russia through workarounds? or through economic support? hino: that is certainly a concern and the unfortunate history of chinese enforcement of sanctions, united nations opposed sanctions against other countries such as north korea has not been particularly stellar. so there is certainly a precedent for the chinese not enforcing sanctions. i think what we see today in europe, what russia's actions have done in terms of pushing more and more countries towards wanting to integrate with the european union, wanting to i

let's be clear the prc doesn't vest, they extract. meanwhile russia and more immediate threat is increasing its engagements in the hemisphere as putin looks to keep his options open and maintain relationships here and abroad. in january the russian foreign minister said he could neither affirm works good that russia would send military -- to venezuela. days before the russian provoked invasion of ukraine russian deputy prime minister visited nicaragua cuba and venezuela company -- countries that maintain close ties with russia. finally recent visits between the presidents of brazil and argentina with putin in russia demonstrated concerning potentially broadening of russian ties in the region. in the transnational criminal organizations blaze a trail of corruption and violence that creates a wedge and allows the prc and russia to explain -- they threaten citizen security undermine public confidence in government institutions and drive air regular migration to our homeland. they traffic to put its cocaine and drugs into the u.s. fueling

our allies and partners around the world will have their own relationships with the prc. what we are not asking countries to do is to choose between the united states and china when it comes to many of our partners. what we seek to do is give them choices and to make partnerships with the united states and all that we bring to the table, all that we can bring to a bilateral relationship, making sure that countries and partners around the world notice how appealing that is. >> and how would that fuel the conflicting statements? washington sees the reduction in the energy victor. mr. price: i will defer to our m.r.i. the partners -- m.r.i. he -- emirati partners about that. we are not a member of opec, but we are involved in diplomatic outreach for supplies. >> what is the possibility of expediting refugees to the united states? i am wondering if there are any updates to that, if those can apply to the uhdr, which is a process that can take months. is there any consideration given to humanitarian roles for ukrainians who might want to come to the united states especially if

i think the prc is watching very closely, has to make some tough decisions. >> bret: but yet they areg very bold, madam secretary. just yesterday china warned that any country supporting taiwan militarily would face "the worst consequences" adding no one, no force, would be able to stop the party if it attacks taiwan. if that does not sound positive. so the last question i have for you, has russia's invasion changed china's calculus when it comes to taiwan? >> secretary sherman: i hope that china is looking very carefully at what's happening. we have a united world with a very grave very consequential sanctions on russia. we understand and support a 1-china policy, but we don't believe that china, prc, ought to take taiwan by force, and we will do everything we can to deter that effort by the prc, and i think they're watching very closely. in fact, i think they made that statement, bret, because they've seen what's happened and they are trying to go on the offense knowing that they ought to be on the defense. >> bret: secretary sherman, thank you, thanks for your time this week in. >>

the prc is another story, katy. we have been very clear with them as national security adviser sullivan was in a very long meeting with the senior official from the prc and their meeting in rome over seven hours that we are watching to see if they are transferring weapons to ukraine, whether they are back filling on sanctions and cash, and if they are, there will be severe consequences. >> i want to talk about refugees. what is the united states going to be doing to potentially take in some of these ukrainian refugees? i saw an interview with a woman who went over there to get her two minor niece and nephew, they were in their teens. their mother had to stay behind. she couldn't bring them to the united states because they needed to apply for a visa which could take three months. meanwhile she has a 2-year-old back in the united states so she needs to come home but she can't leave her minor family members in poland. what's the united states doing to help with a case like that? she's an american citizen. >> these are

we want the prc, which is a very important power in the world, very consequential to understand thatthe united states, with europe, with other developed and developing countries around the world. their future is not to stand with vladimir putin. >> who's we, though, in this case? the secretary said the united states would, you know, impose sanctions and issue penalties. do you have a commitment from europe to do the same? >> i think what you have seen oemp the pasover the past weeks feels like years, but weeks. we are in solidarity with europe and asia and other parts of the world. 141 countries called out what putin is doing in a u.n. general assembly resolution, so there is immense solidarity around the world that anyone who is helping vladimir putin is going to have costs imposed upon them. we have sanctioned belarus, for instance, which is standing with vladimir putin, so it is critical that the prc, the people's republic of china understand the choice here. >> belarus is different than china, though, do you have an explicit promise from europe and other nations to impose sanctio

biden tried not to offend china too much and spoke about a recent conversation biden claims with the prct threaten xi jingping at all, but simply clearly explained what beijing would face if he supported moscow, although these words can be regarded as a threat. in my opinion. china understands that its economic future is much more tied to the west. rather than with russia , therefore, i hope that he will not interfere in china, they understood the hint and sent a response, the gypsy ambassador to the united states warned that if washington imposes sanctions on beijing , they will not remain silent there. us in pursuit to increase pressure on russia because of the situation in ukraine, they undertake to threaten china, but threats and pressure will not work, and in the event of sanctions, beijing will respond with decisive measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests, andrey nikolayevich , the game continues here. uh, who will look at whom the americans expect that they will look at the chinese . just doing some. so i don't know the serious face. the evil thing is that if you n

obviously i know what that says to an american audience, but what is the prc -- how would they be interpreting what do you expect them to do in response? >> sure. good to be with you, chuck. what it shows is that beijing's attempted strategy here is not working. the strategy all along was to quietly underwrite and support vladimir putin and his war in europe but pretend to be a neutral player and someone who could step in and mediate. the world's not buying it because the biden administration has been skillful in authorizing the release of intelligence that shows just how close those ties are, shows that xi jinping discussed the timing of the war in ukraine all the way back in early february when they signed their communique together at the opening of the beijing olympics. they've shown that the west is aware, has the intelligence and the wherewithal to monitor any financial support that beijing might provide to putin to evade sanctions or military material, as you mentioned. so the west is basically saying we got your number, we know what you're doing, we know what you're contemplating, you w

we have vis-a-vis russia, who has very few, if any, allies or partners, and i think if, in fact, the prcartner of just transactional relationship, not of true interests. and that solidarity has meant that we have joined together to make putin bear consequences of the choices he's making. that solidarity has supported the ukrainian people. that solidarity is supporting the refugees that you and i were just talking about. so, i think it's important to maintain that solidarity going forward. we have a long road ahead, even if this were to end tomorrow and we all would wish that it would. we all would wish that putin would understand that body bags are coming back to moscow, that mothers and fathers in moscow are going to see their sons returning in those body bags, that the russian people are suffering with no food on the shelves and the ruble being useless and the stock market closed indefinitely, and that there is curtainly flight out of the country that corporations are leaving in droves. so, we hope that all of that comes together and gets putin to make the decisions that are necessary,

watching very closely the extent to which the prc or any other countryan for that matter provides any form of support, any such support from anywhere in the world would be of great concern to us .. this is nakeded aggression.f this is a war of choice. this is a country a oneco individual at the top ofun that country violating in a brazen manner what have beenad the cardinal rules of the international order for the past 70 yearsse. okay, first, russia doesn't care about our watching what's happening. they care about what we're doing. and right now we're doing. nothing but making china richer by the day nearly what ?od $50 billion worth of goods we buy from them each month. russia is watching that two second. why are we actingwh as if theres any question about whether china is even helping russia even ifwe they're not selling weapons directly to russia, china is giving them crucial help by buying their agricultural products and of course their oilltur. so this is a total end runte around western sanctions. we'vern been saying this now fr what , two plus weeks and third, as i said for ye
