it elevated a form for engaging on high-stakes issues like the south china seas. we have encouraged india's look east policy. we have used trade negotiations over the partnership to find common ground with a former adversary in vietnam. our effort has encompassed all the levers of power and more. you could ask a self-declared, how could we approach an issue in the south china sea without a deep understanding of energy politics, diplomacy, smart economics state craft? think about burma. this took a blend of economic and political tools. the country's leaders wanted the benefits of joining the global economy. they did not want to be an international pariah. we needed to engage with them on many fronts to make that happen while boosting investment in upgrading our diplomatic relations. then there is china. how we deal with one another will define so much of our common future. it is uniquely complex. as i've had high level chinese leaders quote back to me, we're trying to write new entered to what happens when an established power and a rising power meet. we have to b

we observed that the south china sea is a potential source of energy supplies for china and that there is a contention among the nations in that region as to where the ownership and rights of access are to the south china sea. and this is conceivable that china might seek to reestablish its claim there by military coercion and that could lead them into a confrontation with the united states' desire to maintain free access. the best way of avoiding that military conflict is what we should see because the military conflict with china would be catastrophic for both nations, indeed for the whole region. so, we want to avoid that. i believe the best way of avoiding that is by maintaining a -- continuing to maintain a strong naval presence in the region, and by having an unambiguous commitment to doing that. i believe that our new national security strategy is that unambiguous commitment, and i believe that the u.s. navy is capable of maintaining that unambiguous military strength. as we sit here this morning aboard the uss macon island, in san francisco bay, looking out to the pacific, it i

the rise particularly in the asia pacific region and it's really trying to assert itself in the south china sea and set up a little bit of a clash with traditional powers in that space such as america america's had always very big role in terms of security in the asian region so there are just little clashes happening here and there and to think that we could potentially get to a point in time why china is the biggest economy in the wold but yeah on a political scale it's nowhere near as powerful as the u.s. what happens then. i think i mean there's no doubt the china will at some point be the biggest economy in the world it's just a question of when not if but is political strength should draw as we thought economic strain so you know there will always be little gaps but you know i don't see there being a huge huge gap there so you know provided the u.s. allow china to continue to assert its power globally you know it should it should be relatively peaceful rise to china and in terms of growth that it has been phenomenal i have these decades but it has slowed down recently do you see a sof

you can ask yourself, how can we approach an issue as thorny and dangerous as territorial south china sea without a deep understanding of energy politics, subtle multilateral diplomacy, hard economic statecraft and a firm adherence to universal norms. think about burma. a blend of economic diplomatic and political tools. the country's leaders wanted the benefits of rejoining the global economy. they wanted to more fully participate in the region's multilateral institutions and to no longer be an international pariah. so we needed to engage with them on many fronts to make that happen. pressing for the release of political prisoners and additional reforms while also boosting investment in upgrading our diplomatic relations. then there is china. navigating this relationship is uniquely consequential. how we deal with one another will define so much of our common future. it is also uniquely complex because as i have said on many occasions combat and as i have had high-level chinese leaders quote that to me we are trying to write a new answer to the age-old question of what happens when a

that's only happened only for the rebate during the last couple of years and then of course the south china sea is a very very important conduit for the importation of oil resources which are china's the lifeblood so china naturally feels threatened now as far as to japan is concerned the recent wide japan of resorting to what appeared to be more assertive action it's not us out of the blue it's because of the rise of japanese nationalism and of course a right wing politics in japan so the politicians are trying to cater into this kind of. national psyche which says that world is many many years of the second world war and in fact a lot of the japanese people were born after the second world war including prime minister abbey so they don't see why japan should continue to you know sort of move around the world would tail behind its back as it were after all japan as was the world's second largest economy until it was overtaken by china so all this plays into a more assertive national policy and because of that and because of the american pivot forming military allies with china's neighbors
