anti-american nationalism whether it's regard to cybercrimes and cyberattacks, the businesses in the south china is doing what violates international law and its neighbors. is it time to get tougher on china? >> first of all, i don't think any of that is new. china has been run during our lifetimes by a communist party that has been much more anti-western in the past. we went through a period over the course of the years in the '90s and on through the onset of my presidency because state-sponsored capitalism and export-driven model was very successful. china was less interested in making waves. it's one of the largest economies in the world. so it's to be expected that they will want a bigger seat at the table when it comes to international affairs and what we've said consistently is we welcome the peaceful rise of china, consistent with international norms. that's a good for everybody. an impof verished and collapsing china would not be good for anybody. we want china to take responsibility for its own people and conflicts and whether it's conflict change or disaster relief or dealing with thin

so far, the two have avoided publicly discussing tension over the manmade islands in the south chinaat is when they are together in public. it's a sign of chinese aggression and military build up. they say it's an example of a failed foreign policy. fox news analyst joins me for reaction. thank you for joining me. we heard secretary kerry speak and he said in plain terms, there's no military solution to the aggression we are seeing in the south china seas. we are seeing china literally militarizing and building zones so why is he reacting that way? do you think you want to hear different language from him when it comes to this situation? >> the secretary and the president use that term quite a bit. no military solution to a complicated political problem. they say it with syria and now with china. certainly, no one is looking for a military solution in syria or in china. but, military action or the threat of military action has its place because it strengthens diplomacy. that's really the issue here. our allies in the south china sea and the western pacific want us to stand-up behind

south china sea, east china sea, cyber, north korea, were scrubbed from the g20 agenda as china.s host they wanted to make sure there was no controversy. so the important things were not discussed. david: so if in fact there was a president trump there and he got back in the plane because of the snubs and flown out of there, that would have ruined their plan to kind of make this a thing without controversy? >> absolutely. you know there are some times when we should have done exactly what trump had said, basically to leave, to not legitimatize china. what we did was we strengthened xi xinping the chinese ruler. that is the last thing we thud should be doing. he is about to commit another act of aggression in south china sea at scarborough shoal. we said nothing about it. david: final question, about the hillary campaign whether trump's connections with russia, whether or not that is true. what about russia. do you think the chinese would rather have hillary or trump as president? >> in beginning they sort of wanted trump. at the sort of changed but stayed media is against trump.

satellite recon sauns they can see the idle planes. >> when you look at the actions of the chinese in south china sea, they're braze en. they have no fear about the united states. the u.s. you is the only country that could in any way deter them. china's neighbors are too weak and would be foolish to challenge china. they see the united states neglecting its military, under a president who doesn't want to act anyway. so it sort of makes sense. but in the end we are going to have to be reactive again. we are going to have to either assert ourselves or withdraw entirely from the world, and we're going to end up with what whitman called insolvency, a country that will not will the means to achieve the ends. if the end is protecting our allies, keeping open the sea lanes and preventing aggression abroad, we have to have a military that will do it. it doesn't have to be an aggressive one, but it simply has one that works, and we have one now that is really teetering on the edge. if this continues, the decay and the neglect of the infrastructure, it won't work and all of our enemies will know it. >> an

that job has been made somewhat easier by beijing's recent expansionist moves, especially in the south china sea, months that have alienated other countries. china is not the soviet union, but rather the most important trading partner for every country in asia. until recently the state department's top asia man, is to bolster asia's operating system. in other words the arrangements that have built peace and prosperity in asia for decades, like free trade, freedom of navigation, multilateral groupings and institutions and the peaceful resolution of disputes. the most important of these right now, campbell notes is trade. the transpacific partnership is -- it boosts growth, shores up american alliances, sends a powerful signal to china and as president obama points out, writes the rules of the 21st century in ways that are fundamentally pro american. without it expect china to begin drafting those rules in ways that will be very different very soon. yet the tpp is under assault from every corner of america, hillary clinton and paul ryan say it doesn't meet their standards anymore. what these s

china also has tensions with south korea. oul has decided to introduce an american missile defense system. they say it's to defend against north korean attacks, but china worries the radar system will be used to spy on its activities. last week, the chinese foreign minister wang yi visited japan for the first time as foreign minister. he met with his counterparts from japan and south korea. >> translator: we've agreed to strengthen cooperation and make sure the g20 summit will be a success. we've also agreed to pour energy to boosting the global economy through the joint efforts. >> so, what specific measures will china take to ensure that success? >> chinese officials are emphasizing that the g20 summit is a forum for discussing the economy. they don't want any of these other issues to be brought up at the talks. this expert agrees. >> if you want to change gear, talk about your political international security issues, there will be a long list. and unfortunately, i don't think g20 has enough time and resources to be diverted

we have these regional tensions with china, the south china sea.oned north korea as a diary or this calendar event? it is held every two years. it is an opportunity for the u.s. military to get its own forces, the various branches of the military, to work together and work off the same page. instead of inviting other nations or partners -- rishaad: a couple of technical issues there. we do apologize for that connection. up next, a tough time for wealth aregers, how banks rebalancing their strategy. this is bloomberg. ♪ rishaad: let's get to the business flash headlines. the world bank says its current president is the only candidate for its next elections. will be interviewed ahead of the decision at its annual meeting next month. by thee was put forth obama administration and is widely acted to win. the world banks top job has always been held by an american. inting office space singapore is getting cheaper. fell by 7% in the first half of this year to $775 a square meter. hong kong went close to four times that and still rising. the biggest gains

they discussed maritime tensions in the south china sea, not to mention north korea's nuclear emissionsnd cyber security issues. yousef: china is highlighting rising global protectionism during the summit. what are policymakers they're saying about the issue? any progress in sight? yousef, i spoke to the head of the secretary general in hangzhou and he mentioned this issue, saying that trade is growing at or below the rate of growth at the world economy. when it actually needs to grow at twice that rate. that is not good news. take a listen. >> trade is no longer a local motive of growth. trade is actually lagging like investment. no surprise why the world economy is a lingering at 3% even below the rate of growth precrisis. because when there is very low growth, or as there was after the crisis, negative growth, projection creeps in. we have identified and record through the g-20 that there have been 1400 acts protectionism since the crisis started. asry: that interview as well my talk with the head of the wto on monday. thanks. vladimir putin said he would like opec and russia to reac

. >> i just want to cover, iran, iraq, the south china sea, iran-iraq and the south china sea. i have seven minutes. [laughter] let me start with syria which is the epicenter. i want to read you something that hillary clinton told me in an interview two years ago about syria. the failure to help build a credible fighting force with the originators of the protest, islamic's, secular's, the failure to do that is a big vacuum that the jihadists have filled. that was interpreted correctly as a critique of the early years of obama policymaking. is she right? did you all miss an opportunity to shape the outcome of that conflict? >> when you look back now over the past five or six years, a lot of happened that none of us were able to foresee at that time. isil was not an organization like it was today taking up a large amount of territory. at the time, when syrians took the street against a side, it was a collection of different types of group that were taking up off ashad because he was so oppressive. at the time there is also an element that transcended that. that spectrum has unfor

the court dismissed beijing's claim to most of the south china sea. moving on to business news. asian shares saw steep declines on monday. for details and other headlines, gene otani joins us from our business desk. >> tokyo stocks tumbled, following sharp declines on wall street on friday. the u.s. central banks shouldn't wait too long to raise rates, we have more from the tokyo stock exchange. >> it wasn't just a possible earlier-than-expected rate hike, lower oil prices also dragged down shares. the nikkei lost 1.7%, ending at 16,672. the lowest scloes in two weeks. the border topix fell 1.5%. major indices for crude futures extended last week's losses. u.s. producers have increased drilling adding concerns to the oversupply. we can see that the lower oil prices have hit commodity-related shares. the basic materials sector was the largest drag on the benchmark. steel makers like jfe holdings ended lower. on the flip side, insurance daiichi life insurance and t & d holdings, gained on expectations that investments abroad would yield higher returns. we're liking to see further

obama said an international ruling found no basis for china's claims in the south china sea was binding, and dismissed criticism by what some of the described as a less than warm reception in the region. reporter: first there was carpetgate. president obama trip to china took an awkward turn when aging literally failed to rollout -- beijing literally failed to roll out the red carpet for him. then there was this. reporter: philippine president duterte using offensive language to describe the american leader when he was asked what he would do if president obama raised the issue of human rights with him. have diplomatic gaffes overshadowed much of the message he was trying to deliver to asia, but the president brushed them off. i don't takema: these comments personally because it seems like this is a phrase used repeatedly, including directed at the pope and others. just a it seems to be habit, a way of speaking for him. reporter: president obama also repeated his concerns over the south china sea, saying that the rule of law in international waters must be maintained. this was president

there are concerns about the south china sea, how china will ignore the ruling by the hague, and the seek a. all of these issues expected to be on the agenda. as you know, what is key is ofping the cornerstone obama's asia pivot, tpp. there is growing antitrade sentiment in many parts of the world. the only way obama can get the deal ratified is during the lame-duck congress session. expect obama to make a strong case for tpp and laos and assure asean leaders that the deal will be push through. rishaad: this is his last asean meeting, isn't it? it is the first one for the philippine president. what is expected there? >> he makes his international debut at the asean meeting. he is an experienced diplomatically. he is a longtime air swept to power in the last election. all eyes are on how he will navigate his first meeting with world leaders. he is known to be blunt. some say he is unpredictable with his comments. with will take place criticism of his deadly war on illegal drugs. more than 800 people have been killed and police operation since he was sworn in. to meet president obama a

the chinese in the south china sea and east china sea are challenging vegetables we have -- challenging the principles we have relied on for maritime domains for global order. the global order that came out of world war ii. from the united states perspective, that is what is at issue here. mr. sesno: some of what i was talking about with the new silk road, the incredible dominance and role that china is playing, takes superpower rivalries and takes it to a place we did not see when we had our last issue with this with the soviet union. what does that say? how do you view that rivalry, threat, relationship? ideaina has put out a big with the one road. i remember in the bush administration, we were talking about how do we create a vertical line to central asia, how do we connected in a dutch connect -- how do we in ant central asia impactful way down to pakistan and the oceans? we experiment with it and really did not go anywhere. the chinese come in with this one belt, one road, and they said they are connecting everything. they have a huge ability of building railroad infrastructure. th

south china sea, cyber, north carolina, you name it. so what i think the president is going to do is talk about the issue and on the sidelines of the event. >> reporter: but talk has yielded precious little when it comes to china. despite a un ruling that it is unlawful, the chinese has continued to expand claims in the south china sea. what began as the construction grown to include the contested scarborough shoals. >> an exchange about areas where we have significant issues. issues like human lives, cyber and maritime issues. >> reporter: that was the president back in march and little has changed since. experts say his tone won't change much in the g-20 but a newly forged relationship between the u.s. and india will give washington the upper hand long after they have left about this and new dehli and washington will work very closely on the south china sea. >> this trip is really bringing together a number of the president's top priorities for the last seven and a half ye years. >> reporter: priorities including the ongoing fight aga

what we have to be very conscious of, wolf, is that china is making moves in the south china sea on some of these island parcels down there. in some cases, they may be working deals with the philippines. so the government of the philippines. we have to be very smart about how we deal internationally with some of these rulers, these presidents around the world. the president made his decision based on how he made his decision but i think that sometimes it is better to stand up to people who come across as bullies instead of backing down from them and walking away. this is not a time, wolf, around the world where we can take our ball and go home. we have to confront the situations that exist around the world and the philippines right now, wolf, are in a very delicate position because of their geographic position along the south china sea there. we know publicly that china is making moves with the philippines to try to work something out. we do not want to lose the alliance that the united states of america has with the people of the government of the philippines. very important alliance. i

mind, wewith that in have the south china sea being the big issue, not even mentioning china.between all of these countries. these are simmering tensions. some have likened it to a slow burning fuse. what is the endgame? as a possible there could be a war over this part of the world? i think the prospect of a war is pretty unlikely. in terms of the game plan, i think the chinese have been very clear in signaling their president since the arrived in office, which is that china is a maritime power and has maritime interests. they have interests abroad to protect in ways they haven't for a very long time. the message they are sending to the region is we intend to operate in these areas with our forces, commercially, etc. at times of our choosing, and perhaps with impunity. the message to the united states is, you will have to accept this new approach by us, and if you don't want to, this area means more to us than it does to you. it is a real dilemma for u.s. policymakers because how do you persuade china to change its behavior, when the only answer is there with a film or nuclea

the chinese in the south china sea and east china sea are challenging vegetables we have relied on foraritime domains for global order. the global order that came out of world war ii. from the united states perspective, that is what is at issue. mr. sesno: some of what i was talking about with the incredible economic dominance that china is playing, takes superpower rivalries and takes it to a place we did not see issue with our last this with the soviet union. what does that say? how do you view that rivalry, threat, relationship? mr. wilder: i remember in the bush administration, we were talking about how do we create a vertical line to central asia, how do we connected in a impactful way down to pakistan and the oceans? we experiment with it and really did not go anywhere. the chinese come in with this one belt, one road, and they said they are connecting everything. ability of huge building railroad infrastructure. they're building what these countries desperately need. they have an overcapacity right now. their industries are way overproducing for their domestic. mr. sesno: is tha

they don't see south china sea as their business. they don't see east china sea as tibet, other issues. so i think john is absolutely right. it's a nuanced sort of great power rivalry. they need the united states on the economic side but they also want united states to recognize there are two great powers in the world and china is one of them. >> peter, this is fascinating. since you're the russia expert here, if putin wants to be ascendant and assertive he has to deal with a situation soviet union did not have to deal with and that's china. the great power alignment is a very different alignment than it was once upon a time. >> i'm glad you make that point. it's interesting putin and china have a relationship. putin has baseball to china several times in the last three years. xi has been to moscow. >> yes, many times. >> there's almost an echo of the '70s when there was this balancing, triangular balance between u.s., china, and russia that kissinger frequently focused on. i'd like to go to really putin's clear effort to try to reass

that, there are other issues like the south china sea. as said it will ignore the ruling made by the hague. all these issues will be on his agenda while in laos for the asean meeting. obama, the first u.s. president to visit laos. it is pretty a story. angie: it is a beautiful country and parts. this is obama's last asean talks, but the first for the philippine president. what is expected for him. he is making his international debut at this asean meeting in last. it is the first time we get to see him engaging with global leaders. he is set to meet obama. he said obama must listen to him and his defense before raising concerns about human rights. he took office, more than 800 people have been killed in police operations, all part of what he calls a war against drugs. globally been a poor over that, especially human rights groups. will his diplomatic and expense come through? will we see his trademark blood comments? we will know soon enough. he is set to meet obama to discuss a variety of issues, human rights, south china sea. he has made

made earlier this summer by an international tribunal, dismissing its claim to almost all of the south china sea.
