they're leading the fight in terms of drawing the line in the south china sea. here again you see clearly in vietnam and in the philippines, china -- japan is well ahead in terms of infrastructure development. but it's not only them. it's also india. i think the role of india and also australia in terms of capacity building in the region is underestimated. if you look at efforts of quad countries in terms of providing alternative avenues for raising infrastructure capital for developing projects in southeast asia, if you look at australia helping the philippines in counterterrorism and dealing with the isis threat, a lot of things are happening which are not appreciated enough. i'll leave that to our experts here on the ground. a lot of people underestimate the struggle for autonomy and strategic astuteness of smaller countries in southeast asia. i'll take an issue with the word small. indonesia is 270 million people last time i checked. it's almost american sized in terms of demographics. in terms of g.d.p., indonesia is expected to be among the top five biggest

and secretary clinton also saying freedom of navigation in the south china sea is a u.s. national interest. then the chinese came back with the core interest debate. 10 years ago, we saw this critical juncture. there is a dramatic qualitative difference between china's behavior in the south china sea in the first decade of the 21st century, and then after vietnam. once again, vietnam is in that critical position. i am very interested. s wrote something for csi about the option of legal warfare for vietnam. i will be very brutally honest. in 2015, we were constantly invited to vietnam as filipinos to give our ideas about the arbitration award. was an there implicit message that we might do some parallel deal. a lot of senior officials in the previous administration said the vietnamese made us feel that they might do something. we could see how vietnamese were taking notes when we went to the nitty-gritty compulsory arbitration. what i am trying to say is there's a lot of philippine-bashing right now with president duterte taking the chinese position. but where was the asean

secretary hillary clinton saying take freedom of navigation in south china sea is a u.s. national interest, then the chinese came back with the core interest debate. ten years ago we saw this critical juncture. there's dramatic difference between china's behavior in the south china sea in the 21st century, then after vietnam and we saw this. once again, vietnam is in that critical position. i'm very interested, i wrote something for csi about the options for vietnam. i will be very brutally honest. in 2013, '14, '15, '16, we were constantly invited to vietnam as filipenos to give certain advice. we felt we were not -- we did not -- we felt there was an implicit message that we might do some parallel deals, right. a lot of senior officials in the previous administration would say the vietnamese made us feel they might do something. a lot of times we were taking notes when it went to compulsory arbitration. what i'm trying to say is there's a lot of bashing with president duterte taking a very china-leading position but where was this before? this answers your second questio

the south china sea i think is one third of all of the world's shipping go through it.o, every exporting country has a huge interest in the south china sea. we also have complexities. i was just in japan a couple of weeks ago and it still exists between korea and japan going back to the occupation from 1905 to 1945. that is still very real and it makes it harder to get them to work together in the alliance because there's still so much friction. at some level you've got to be constantly working to open those up and i think in the case of the australians they've turned the corner and discovered from some painful experiences that the chinese are not necessarily good partners and that the weight of china can be very disruptive and uncomfortable. so i think we are in good shape there. but in the long run, we also want to put together i think all of the smaller countries. we've done a little bit of that in the past but it's good t gote more methodical because the chinese are pretty good at institution building. they've taken over something we used to do well and the british

this critical nature of the south china sea and the us competition.ilitarily, you mentioned to some problems with the us being pushed further out and i think-- and otto-- [inaudible] it's-- when i look at this administration, they obviously have recognized the challenge of the rise of china and brightly articulated that we are in competition with china, but for some reason the south china sea has not been at the top of the agenda. the last i checked president trump has never tweeted about it during his time as president and as far as i know in terms of public records it's never come up with discussions with xi jinping. why do you think-- given how important it is and that you clearly outlined its importance in your book why you think it's been an issue mainly-- mainly among scholars and not risen to the national leader level? guest: of course, one level is it's an issue with american military and they are vividly aware of it. on the other hand, i think strategically what we've done is wrong. as you know we rely on the motto that our ships will go with

in the 1930s the Ãb nationalist party issued a map of the south china sea that charted a series of dashes, everything inside this line is china. it's an extraordinary claim it's about 50% of the size of china itself. nobody has ever claimed that yyou could actually occupy that kind of sea as a sovereign territory. long after the chinese communist when they gradually start thinking about this and begin to develop it. they go out first in a series of's damages with the enemies and filipinos and their other neighbors and then they come up with a clever idea that they are going to build artificial islands. they build a series of these artificial islands where they say initially now this is really not going to be militarized it's really not a threat. we just want to support our fishing fleet which is peaceful sleep. it's actually the equivalent coast guard or coastal maritime unit mobilize a bowl for a variety of national security reasons. then they gradually add an airfield and start bringing in missiles and what they are doing is creating a framework of violence which forces the u.s. navy hu

i know a large number of people are aware of the south china sea. think part of the challenge is there are so many components of what's going on. do you worry about the stealing of intellectual property, do you worry about the degree to which they cheated against american companies, do you try to figure out how to offset the national model there are so many different components under way that it's been hard to get a coherent grand strategy. this is the goal of government, this is all of society. we need to think about them as a competitor in how we are going to overmatch that and that is going to take a significant amount of time. that was for the generation that fought world war ii and were used to thinking on the huge scale. there are fewer people capable of doing that kind of thinking. >> host: one of my colleagues testify in with me mention that the statisticmentionedthat the e difference between the soviet union and china and it went something like the economy was half the size of china's economy but they are spending half as much. so it seems

the us and china are locked in an increasingly hostile competition in the south china sea, where chinaiance of international law. the us responded very slowly. it took a long time before they fully appreciated what china was building. by the time china had really started militarising these islands, it was too late for the united states to respond, and nobody wanted to go to war with china over what they called "reefs and rocks" in the south china sea. $5.3 trillion of trade transits through the south china sea, very near the spratlys. china's actions were, in a sense, an attempt to be able to cut the carotid artery of global trade. so many of the conversations i have had in this city boil down to one concern — that china's rise is nowjust too rapid for the united states to manage. like those islands that appeared almost out of nowhere, there is a sense that unless the us gets a grip on the china challenge, and soon, it might well become unmanageable. the stated chinese government policy is to dominate emerging technologies like robotics and ai. the stated chinese government policy is t

in the 1930s the national sporting issued in map of the south china sea that showed a series of dashesand basically said everything inside this line is china. it's an extra night thing, 50% of the size of china itself. and nobody has ever claimed you can occupy that see as a sovereign territory. after the chinese communist when they gradually start to think about this and begin to develop it. they go out with the beat minis and the filipinos and other neighbors and they come up with a clever idea to build artificial alliance. so they billed a series of these artificial islands where they say initially, this is really not military iced, not a threat, we want to support our fishing fleet which is a peaceful fleet although nowadays a large part is actually the equivalent of a coast guard or coastal maritime unit for a variety of national security reasons. then they gradually add airfield and start bringing in muscles and what they do is creating a framework of violence which forces the u.s. navy, 100 miles further away of chinese coast in a wartime environment . . . for the arctic ocean.

particular when it comes to china they're saying that there's been provocation by china in the south china sea and at the austrian members here should stand up to that no need to be noted that some of the members of the on their 10 nations who are members of us and have trade disputes sorry territory disputes with china in the south china sea this has been an ongoing issue they've been discussions at this summit about rules of conduct codes of conduct for the south china sea it seems like there's a little bit of progress but the united states telling us and members you need to stand up to china's aggression in the south china sea among millions of people in india's capital having to find alternative ways to get to work this monday the number of private vehicles allowed on you down the road has been hollowed in an attempt to clear the toxic small choking the city pollution levels are so high in new delhi that schools have been shot flights have been counseling a public emergency declared in fact experts are saying that if you bring that. there in new delhi at the moment it is similar to smo

mlitary disputes over the south china sea have become more heated, and the us accuses china of the wholesaleerty. so how does america see its relationship with its most important rival? david grossman has this special report from washington. washington has changed its mind on china. a few years ago it was seen asa china. a few years ago it was seen as a potential ally. now it is regarded as a deadly rival. it is easy to see this is simply a product of the man at the top. we cannot continue to allow china to rate our country, and that is what they are doing. the shift in us china policy goes much deeper than a few some —— stump speeches and late—night tweet. i don't know if you would see another politician if you would have seen another politician if you would have seen this sharp turn. they were across everything and there was a sense that our approach was not working. from speaking to insiders inside washington, the reason is clear. it is notjust trade, but power. robert spalding was the chief architect of the us national security is strategy published in 2017. how big a threat is china do

china's more assertive military, in places like the south china sea, has also alarmed policymakers in aim of becoming the world leader in new technologies like robotics and ai. if china were to succeed in these areas, then it probably supplant the united states as the leading power in the world. although mr trump is keen to sign a phase one trade deal with china, us rhetoric is as tough as ever. the fbi has over 1,000 investigations involving attempted theft of us—based technology that leads back to china. if the chinese do not make a serious effort and demonstrate a serious effort to reduce their non—compliance with intellectual property, then i don't see any change. the chinese government disputes the us characterisation of its activities. it denies stealing intellectual property or gaming international trade system, and claims sovereignty over the south china sea. it seems, then, unlikely that us—china relations will get warmer soon. from here in washington, this is seen as a battle for the future that america could not afford to lose. david grossman, bbc news, washington. you can

settles on trade in a trade deal between now and the election, all other domains, technology, the south chinaher issues i don't think the u.s. and china's about to become best ease again. can the united states improve relations with russia? is there some way of taking this relationship between president putin and president trump that is been so controversial and turning it into -- my view has been that the arguments about 2016 diminished in some useful and benefit to the united states and a dude think the problem alone is partly that were on a permanent war regime with respect to sanctions andnd other issues and also president putin cannot bring himself to trust the united states. i think the only way in the political situation is to improve relations with russia, that will not be easy. mark: it will not be easy because the democrat party with the russia collusion, russia collusion. >> this is a big problem i think the president trump has to try to figure out. between now and the election geopolitically, a change ofol te subject so next year we are talking about a situation improving not with

let's speak to alvin lum, reporter for the south china morning post who is at the polytechnic universityut the scene there? pain is a picture. basically, it's very quiet now. —— paint us. some of the student protesters have left, those under 18 yea rs protesters have left, those under 18 years old, they were allowed to go, there are about 200 of them, and about 100 who are 18 years old. some have been arrested. some protesters, as we speak, we are touring around the building. there is leaking in the building. there is leaking in the underground floors of the buildings. we have been seeing pictures of people let out by fire officers, this relates to what carrie lam said, asking for minors, people under 18 to be treated humanely and encouraged to come out peacefully as he put it. she said they would not be arrested but their personal data would be taken by police. that will surely worry some of them? yeah, but those taken out by firefighters, they risk the chance of being arrested. but what they have been telling the media is that food is running out and so they have no choice but to come

what should the united states reaction be to china's initiative and posture in the south china sea?ank you. >> who wants to take that? >> i will take it. i think we should be do i think pretty much what we have been doing, vis-a-vis the south china sea, don't accept territorial claims. we go within 11 nautical miles to demonstrate this is open ocean, i think we actually could do more of that, and we should be doing not just heavily armed forces but maybe other country, i think the british have done it once, we should perhaps occasionally be leading some tankers or freighters along with us along the establishing that whatever china's claims are in south china sea, neither we nor the international tribunal that ruled on this, nor the rest of the international community accepts any of those claims as well, belt and road initiative is more complicated. i have tended to be more about it than many who have seen it as this great game changer where they are going build lots of infrastructure and acquire lots of influence, for a couple of reasons, one some of their projects have not gone par

and, of course, also some contested areas, south china sea, some relationships that might be contested where china has ambitions where we want to invest more. so i mentioned the pacific islands and parts of southeast asia. so it's playing out, you know, we're sort of building the airplane as we're flying it, if you will, because we're in a competitive environment now. but to get to your second part of your question, i think the work inside the enterprise is the work that will continue for quite some time because the nature of our business. we buy things, you know, big programs that last decades and decisions now and in five, ten years from now will have lasting impact. so we want to be investing wisely. i mentioned some of the new domains and areas of focus in my remarks but it's a dynamic environment that could change depending on the directions that china goes. i mean, they will largely be a pacing competitor for these decisions and we have to be dynamic and flexible and make those wise decisions along the way. >> you mentioned alliances. you've built a reputation as being a strong a

they're maybe not highlighting as much some of the activities in the east china sea or the south china sea, but certainly what we see in the rest of the region is while the branding effort might be under way, the behavior and the activities are still quite robust and of concern to us. and vietnam, for example, the incursions into the vietnamese, eez and putting pressure on not only the vietnamese but other international private companies that would do legal exploration and extracting. in japan, they talk about an improving relationship and they're focused on a possible xi jingping visit to japan next year. but in fact the same level of activity is occurring into and around the senkaku islands and in the east china sea, the same naval and maritime militia and coast guard activities into japanese territorial waters or what they regard as territorial waters. so i think the re-branding is under way but the activities are still and the behavior is still of concern to us. and it's really of concern because it's embedded in what we understand to be long-term chinese strategic ambitions and as
