so i think the united states is attempting to portray china's recent moves specifically in the south china sea and of course also in the east china sea where it has territorial disputes with japan as a growing menace and potentially one of military and naval importance which justifies at least in the eyes of the pentagon the increasing. military deployment in the region what worth bonsa you expect from china this is it really bothered by this expansion it must be. well i think it would be right to be bothered by the expansion i mean just to put into context some of the recent moves that have been made on the u.s. side for example we've seen for example northrop grumman sign a one point two billion dollar contract to supply global's spy drones to south korea back in december of two thousand and twelve just earlier this year signed a twelve billion dollars contract with lockheed martin to supply f. thirty five fighter jets south korea just concluded its own negotiations with lockheed martin for a six point eight billion dollars contract for f. thirty five fighter jets we had two additional b

i remember you talk about the power in asia and i'm concerned about the south china sea. i'm going to ask you as the leader of australia where do you see the role of australia and the u.s. allies in that region, especially with the current situation in the southeast china sea, the south china sea with china actively, assertively, aggressively invaded. it did invade vietnam and all the countries. there had been people killed recently, ships sank, two ships and we have chinese vessels in that area, including air forces and all the military efforts. >> thank you. i got the thrust there. firstly, i'm not the prime minister of australia. >> but you play it on tv. >> that's a different bloke. >> you all look the same. >> i can never tell them apart myself. you and the guys from mississippi all talk the same. shall we continue this? anyway, let's go to the core elements of your question which is one of what is unfolding in the maritime space and secondly what policy should be considered in response to it. i think it is fair to say that i have not seen such activity in these marit

regional aggression that goes unchecked, whether in southern ukraine or the south china sea or anywhere else in the world will ultimately impact our allies and could draw in our military. we can't ignore what happens beyond our boundaries. and beyond these narrow rationales, i believe we have a real stake, a biding self-interest in making sure our children and grandchildren grow up in a world where school girls are not kidnapped when -- not kidnapped and when individuals are not slaughtered because of tribe or faith or political belief. i believe that a world of greater freedom intolerance is not only a moral imperative, it also helps to keep us safe. but to say that we have an interest in pursuing peace and freedom beyond our borders is not to say that every problem has a military solution. since world war ii, some of our most costly mistakes came not from our restraint but from our willingness to rush into military adventures without thinking through the consequences, without building international support and legitimacy for our actions, without leveling with the american people about

we did not sign the declaration on the conduct of parties in the south china sea that was signed by china and the ten southeast asian countries in 2002. but if you look at the statement of then secretary of defense panetta, two years ago, you will find the american position is based exactly on the principles that were set out in the declaration of parties. peaceful resolution of disputes, no threat or use of force, no provocative actions. efforts to constructively approach differences. if the principles of that declaration had been carried out by all of the signatories, we wouldn't have the current levels of tension in the south china sea. and we believe in those principles, and we deal with our allies in terms of upholding those principles. but we also will be allies if they are subjected to unprovoked aggression. >> great. well i think we've just about reached time. i want to thank you both for your very insightful comments. and dr. brzezinski in absentia and really appreciate the audience's participation, as well.

that's significant, about 40% of the world's trade goes through the south china sea. we have been, as the u.s. navy, we have been there since we've been a country. so when china starts telling us that the u.s. navy can't be in the south china sea, that's a huge, significant strategic threat to the united states and certainly our economic prowess in the world. clearly russia is, you can turn on the tv and see where they're at. they've spent the last 10 years in that rise of oil money, investing in their military, modernizing their military, professionalizing their special forces. that has, as you can see, has proved to be a valuable investment for them when it comes to ukraine. so the fact that they were able to glide through and annex crimea and their activities in eastern ukraine are certainly troubling and it shows you that the payoff of their investment and they know it and they understand it. they continue to invest in their navy modernization, they've dropped some submarines in the water that are very, very sophisticated, very high tech. we haven't seen that sinc

we are seeing, of course, actions in the south china sea, the u.s. really together with japan saying to china, watch the space. >> at the moment, rhetoric, but certainly vietnam is feeling the pressure more than most here. what is the latest on the china-vietnam tension? >> may 26 chinese boats warned a vietnamese fishing vessel and the chinese vessel ran and sunk that boat. that is disbeauted territory in the east china sea. a call from the vietnamese defense minister.

we take a look at what's happening we have this extended stationary boundary all the way down to south china. some more rain expected down there. high pressure is bringing the colder air aloft. and so with the forcing of the warmer surface temperatures with the daytime heating we see the bubbling up of those storms. and so it looks like that's going to be in place because these features are not moving very quickly. up to 150 millimeters of rain expected for even some of the western islands of japan. also down into the indochina peninsula. so once again, coming up for wednesday, have the umbrella happy from chongqing to shanghai and beijing dealing with thunderstorms. even tokyo with daytime heating expecting thunderstorms with a high of 26. we're talking about thunderstorms over into the americas where a couple of tornado reports came out of ohio and illinois and some hail reports out of colorado. we have a low pressure system over the great lakes, an extended stationary boundary that's going to continue to pump some instability into places like texas, oklahoma, kansas, even into colorado go

so i just think that -- and one more point about the south china sea. during world war ii, the united states proposed to give the islands to china, our ally during the war. it would give them responsibility for it. franklin roosevelt hoped that china would be the hegemon of the east asia and, in fact, part of his plan for the four policemen -- russia, the british empire, china and the u.s. policing the post-1945 war -- was that china would be the hegemon of indochina and replace the french. since fdr thought american interests would be better served by hegemonic china in asia than the european powers, the british or the french. and let's be clear, roosevelt was a realist. the china he was talking about, this was chang chi check's china. i've read the book, "the chinese economy." it's pretty much like the modern chinese economy. it's a plan for a mercantilist, state-driven industrialization which violates all of the rules of neoclassical economics and is a developmental state. so that's just one of the paradoxes of our time. the china that we are afraid o

between china and vietnam have been simmering since a chinese state-run company put an oil rig in the south china sea just over a month ago. they placed it in waters near the paracel islands, which are claimed by both china and vietnam. ships from the two countries have been involved in several collisions, and confrontations around the islands. the gulf of tonkin, the area of the latest incident, lies off the coast of china and vietnam. the two nations agreed 14 years ago how to demarcate territorial waters in the gulf. vietnamese media say there's no dispute about who controls the waters where the collision took place. vietnam. officials from both countries have been trying to drum up support at the united nations. chinese delegates wrote what's called a position paper outlining their stance. they accuse the vietnamese of illegally and forcefully disrupting the oil rig operation. they've asked u.n. security general ban ki-moon to circulate the paper to all member states. delegates from vietnam submitted documents defending their position three times last month. a u.n. spokesperson says ban is re

military base as part of the asian nations fight over the resource rich south china sea the country claims that china is trying to take over most of the sea by building artificial islands military cooperation with the u.s. could bolster america's presence in the region where washington already has tens of thousands of troops at dozens of bases journalist james corbett believes putting more pressure on china could lead to a bitter conflict. this has to be seen as just part of a trend towards the deepening of the us and philippine military alliance that goes right along with the developing us japanese military alliance the us australian military alliance so i think this has to be seen as more part of a regional trend that's developing both china and the us and its allies are playing to their respective political bases and they're looking for economic stimulus that comes from militarization so they are looking to divert more government funds towards the defense sector i think it's part of a feedback loop where one side makes a move so the other is seen to respond to it so the other side respo

then once those things happen you watch their aggressiveness in the south china sea. and that is clearly something that is concerning and i think it's a growing tension. i still believe that between vietnam and japan, there will be some maritime skirmish within the next 24 months. and i don't think it will be huge, but i do think that there will be a maritime skirmish between either vietnam or japan with china in their pursuit to push out their boundaries in the south china sea. that's significant, about 40% of the world's trade goes through the south china sea. we've been as a u.s. navy been there since we've been a country. and so when china starts telling us that the u.s. navy want be in the south china sea that's a huge and significant strategic threat to the united states and certainly our economic prowess in the world. clearly russia, you can just turn on the tv and see where they're at. they've spent the last ten years in that rise of oil money, investing in their military, modernizing their military, professionalizing their special forces. that has, as you can

calkoos, it's worth noting that china's responded to by focusing energies a little more on the south china sea than eastern china sea and worth asking whether or not those sorts of actions do potentially act to tamp down great power, actual great power war even if it ratchets up tensions in the short term. but i do think the more interesting question to ask is that despite the sort of rising tension in the east china sea and south china sea and so forth there's not a lot of evidence that those are actually affect patterns of economic exchange. you know, if you go back to sort of the pre-world war i era, last great era of globalization, one myth is it broke out despite large amounts of interdependence and as a constraint on state action. but if you take a look at the history, you start to see that, you know, from 1890 on states actually did start to take significant efforts to try to weiner them s wean themselves off and the least independent states that wind up launching the great war and what's interesting sort of post, you know, 2008 and despite recent tensions there's no real shift in t
