again, singapore is i think part of the solution here, which is gratifying for a change.ntry actually having us come in and help, it's a good deal. with that said, we've got to be very cautious as we deal with china. china holds over a trillion dollars of our debt, but at the same time we are economic competitors. the chinese have their own problems, internal problems i don't think we fully recognize its vulnerabilities yet. i think the chinese are ignoring a lot of this. and i think our state department has to be clear what is expected on the international front from the chinese and try their best to hold them to it. this should become an issue that secretary kerry pushes forward and demands accountability. between if our fbi can present evidence of chinese wrongdoing. >> alisyn: after what happened in benghazi, not to connect the two cases, but we haven't gotten a lot of answers when the americans were killed and ambassador, in benghazi. and when something happens in a foreign country that we will be able to get to the bottom of it, but your optimistic. >> the fbi is ad

this summer there was a project in singapore, urban prototyping singapore where we worked with local interests to open up over 30 private data sets and we had to engineer, what kind of contract would you have? how would you handle privacy? how would you let people use it for only that purpose? that form of innovation as it spreads here and elsewhere i think leads to a whole lot of new possibilities and applications. and this great cross trading between the private second for and public sector is just now taking off. in many ways san francisco has a special responsibility here. lots of cities are investing in opening data. that's a lot of supply. you need the demand side to prove to the city it's worthwhile and to prove to the public you can build an ecosystem there. we can do things with that whether bottom up activities, gray area or private companies. so, it's a moment of real burst of innovation and the landscape changes as the public and private sides come together. >> i very much agree with everything that was said. i'll add that in addition to the public sector, at the city lev
