and it's for that reason, i think, we, you know, that's why we care about the south china sea or the east china sea. and the challenge that we face. this goes to hal's point of the changing regional balances, is that some of the rising regional powers or in some cases declining regional powers that are exerting themselves to more completely dominate their own regions have found that they can, if they can take certain actions that fall below the threshold that would normally elicit a military response from us, they can through a series of salami slices begin to chip away at the foundations of this order. and so, you know, we're faced with a very challenging, you know, question, you know? as china militarizes these land reclamation projects, these sandbars that they're building, starts to put airstrips on them, at what point do you respond? when they put hq-9 anti-aircraft missiles on the first time, do you take them out then? maybe not. that would seem like a small step that warrant a massive u.s. military response that would put us in a conflict with china. so maybe you wait until the

china's behavior in the south china sea, so i wanted to put two things on the table and ask you to speako china. in his confirmation hearing, not yet secretary of state tillerson, talked about how he had to prevent china from further militarizing the islands that it had larger created a reclaimed in the south china sea and that was a strong statement. that has me thinking, what do you do that, short of war? and then secretary mattis went to the region on his first triple overseas as secretary of defense, trip seen as successful by most people, and he talked about the south china sea himself and said, i believe we can handle that largely accrued diplomatic needs. i am trying to recognize what secretary tillerson said when he made that statement and put the pieces together and understand what kind of military enablers we have to provide the president so that he can successfully handled the south tennessee diplomatically and not have to revert to the kind of means that some people believe to include, mr. tillerson. gen. dunford: i did not see in the consistency between let mr. tillerson sai

for that reason that's why we care about the south china sea or the east china sea. the challenge we face goes to the point of changing the regional balances that some of the rising regional powers where the declining regional powers exerting themselves to more completely dominate their own regions have found that they if they can take certain actions that fall below the threshold that would normally elicit a military response from us they can through a series of slices begin to chip away at this order. were were faced with a very challenging question. as china militarize is the sandbars that they're building, i will point to respond. when he put hq nine antiaircraft missiles to take them out then? a small military response could put us in a conflict with china. so maybe you way. is that enough. what about if you wake up and you can no longer fly over the area this is the challenge that we face and it's not just in the south china sea. >> whether the united states has territory, american citizens were represented in congress in the western pacific, pulling all the wa

and one thing i would say is the south china sea, east china sea. thank goodness united military has been quite powerful. we might find ourselves in a period in which we will begin to see what looks like when you don't have to predominate military power. i also think from my observation of political leaders, for the most part they are pretty careful. when the time comes to actually commit substantial american forces in the conflict. there is something in that respect sobering about the office of the president. whether that will find this case to, i'm not entirely sure. >> ... thanks. what advice would you have as we work to manage what china is doing in the south china sea, land reclamation, militarization. is it a case of that it's closer to them and something they care about more than we care about. with that change our calculation? in what ways should we be using our military force to affect the outcomes we want? >> i think we shouldcare about it a lot because we do have large interest . first it goes back to what is in some ways the subject of t

navy patrol plane had a dangerous encounter in the south china sea. nbc's janis mackey frayer is live in beijing. what is the latest? >> reporter: the call certainly does ease some of the tension. from china's perspective, it had to happen. there are a few things that are more sensitive to beijing thand taiwan. it was xi's request trump agreed to honor the policy that recognized taiwan as part of china. nothing else could happen until that was acknowledged by him. this is a complete 180 for trump, who weeks ago, suggested this policy with was open for negotiation. there was the sense that trump recognized or was being told to recognize that the risks of not doing so were far too high. they would stand in the way of real issues like trade, the south china sea and north korea. what's also important is the timing of the call. it had to happen before the visit with shinzo abe. it's going to be a vavish event. for the chinese to feel comfortable with trump hosting their rival in the region, there was a sense the call had to happen as a means of damage contr

we have watched in the south china sea as china has shredded the trust of nations in the region. these huge artificial islands. beijing has constructed to enforce its claim to the south china sea.“ we have disputes we take them to arbitration. we don't settle them by taking military means and occupying land that is subject to question to say the least about who actually owns it or is it international waters? he also promised the us would protect this group of islands in the east china sea from any attempt by china to take them from japan. beijing's foreign ministry responded emeetately. general mattis should stop making remarks on the issue involving the diaoyu islands. japan is very happy that general mattis is here so soon and he is making positive statements about america's commitment to japan's security. but there is still deep disquiet here about president trump's intentions particularly on trade. in fact, japan is so worried, the prime minister will fly to washington next week to present mr trump with a japanese plan to invest tens of billions of dollars in new americanjobs

navy patrol plane had a dangerous encounter in the south china sea. nbc's janice is live in beijing. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: the call certainly does ease some of the tension. from china's perspective, it had to happen. the key point, it was at xi's request that trump would honor the one-china policy, which recognizes beijing's sovereignty over recognized or was being told to recognize that the risks of not doing so were far too high. now the two sides can make some more meaningful moves toward real issues like trade, south china sea, and north korea. still, it is quite a leap from trump's position just a couple of months ago to this. on that close encounter over the south china sea, the u.s. navy is saying that one of its surveillance aircraft came within a thousand feet of a chinese military surveillance aircraft. they say that it was unsafe but they don't consider that there was any malicious intent. chinese officials were saying that both sides need to proceed with caution but both add as well that the aircraft were on a routine miss

in 2013 according to the article in the south china morning post, north korea was receiving close to or its coal exports to china. in 2015, about $2.5 billion. a lot of money for north korea, maybe not too many other countries. china is going to ban the purchase of north korean coal, lots of money disappearing for north korea and it's happening against the backdrop of the assassination in malaysia. what's interesting is what this means in the global context. china is trying to say to america, mr trump, you've been saying we don't do enough in the region, we're not supporting you on getting north korea to stop missile tests but were finally going to do something and make it public and stop the coal imports and put pressure on north korea but more importantly we can show you we can be a good ally. the chinese are looking to dc and also soul to say we're going to play the global game, don't worry about us, we're not your enemy. will it make any difference? the defector, the deputy ambassador here, the north korean in london said last month i think that kim jong—un will probably press the

can you give us examples regarding the south and east china sea situations the risks that the united states military can and should take without starting a shooting war? >> sure. let me again go back to recent history to illustrate what i see as the risk aversion. we have been in the situation where every use navy, freedom of navigation operation has become the subject of intense decision making, publicity. look honestly, this should be something we do routinely and in fact by making each one of these operations a big deal we in some ways magnify the risk. things like that should be done routinely. beyond that, if we decide the militarization of the south china sea, which chinese leadership said it wasn't going to do but it looks like it is going on, if we really believe that that is something that we can't live with then we need to thing about ways to have beijing build the cost. and i am not just thinking militarily. for example, why is it china has been able to carry out huge acts of ethological -- ecological destruction and isn't called to account for that in international scient

north koreans don't really like china at all and you can see there are a lot of meetings between the leaders of south and china. you don't see many meetings between the leaders of china and north korea. is a very, very sticky, difficult government to deal with but you have got to be careful because they are also and can be very fanatical about retaliating against what they see as aggression against of them. -- while i'm the in the curious position of representing american voters and , one of the things i have heard on the campaign trail and when ice the two supporters of donald trump, they feel they have been taken by europe.for a ride in europe has this happened of dialing 911 washington and hoping we six everything. we are not interested anymore in saving european bacon. what is it europe's response to that? your perspectives and to stand up for itself. >> i went to a lot of trump rallies and heard the same thing. i see your point. the response of europe to that biteople are a little struck by that point. i think the general idea is really that, as you know, president trump once -- does not believe

we are already deeply mired in the south china sea and we have heard contradictory statements the trumpe on this frightening statements in some cases. taiwan is reemerging with trump's health as a destabilizing factor in modern relations with asia and china in particular and the most important problem is what to do about north korea's claim to be developing icbms that can reach los angeles and other american centers. there is a rising tide in washington and you read it every day of people saying what trump has said on occasion we can't allow the north koreans to test an icbm they could reach america. nobody knows what he means when he says it will not happen. on the other hand, i am trying to urge people to take up remarks trump has made on other occasions. he is willing to talk to kim jong un. he is willing to negotiate a great deal with the north koreans. nobody in washington believes it is possible except a few of us. i think and i have been involved with north korea since 1972 when i first went there, i think it is worth doing because of the alternative is terribly dangerous. if we

of the obama administration in terms of confronting china over its belligerence in the east and south china seas. trump has indicated he's going to change that appeared on the the other hand, he also touch on the tensions and his phone call with president xi jinping of china, upheld the one china policy and basically what the president has done is buy himself some time to get his whole team in place then figure out what your policy is going to be. >> jon: wasn't wise in your view for him to give that assurance to president xi and restate the one china policy policy? >> it certainly at one level looks as though he backed down from things he had been talking about. on the other hand, if you look at the way the white house phrased it, it was that president xi of china asked president trump to uphold the policy, in the president consented. they are trying to maintain the upper hand in setting the pace of the relations between the two countries, but the truth is the hard work is going to start now. you have to come up with a policy on this end, then you really have to start negotiating with the

what does that mean in regard to nate a, china or the south china sea. we've recently deployed troops o poland. and if russia deployed so we don't quite know exactly what the results of the election are going to be. it looks in both directions, i'm guard the optimistic that his instinct will tell him consistet with america first. america first isn't isolationis, it means that all countries understand their interests come before other countries. i mean, the president takes an oath as president of the united states of america. he doesn't take an oath as president of world, president of the free universe or anything like that. he's elected by the american people. he has to put their interests first. that is his moral and legal obligation. which means invincible self-defense, but why are we committed to defending countries that have no relevance to anything about our self-defense at staggering costs. >> this is an important ingredient too that needs to be recognized. the promises that the president made about building infrastructure, roads, bridges, new airp

prosperity of much of the world depends and it is for that reason that is why we care about this south china sea or the east china sea and the challenge you face, with regional balances, some of the rising -- declining regional powers exerting themselves to more completely dominate their own region have found if they can take certain actions that fall below the threshold that normally elicit a response, through a series of salami slices begin to chip away at the foundations of this order. we are faced with a challenging question. militarizing land reclamation projects start to put airstrips on them. with antiaircraft missiles on the first time do we take them out then? maybe not. that would seem like a small step the military response put is in a conflict with china. we wait until later on two islands. is that enough? what about three. with an air defense information zone and you can fly over it, this is the challenge. and what pulling back actually means with the western pacific where the united states has territories, american citizens are represented in the western pacific. it seems that
