we'll have to do something in the south china sea per se to express our concern about what china is doing in the south china sea themselves. i think in terms of our ability to monitor it and asked about satellites, i think it's come it is sufficient. i think one thing we want to do is make more information public come shine a light on this activity so there's no doubt and occasionally we run into challenges with declassifying things and do it quickly enough but over time we want a light on this behavior because it is of concern to everyone in the region. >> got it. roger after that. >> why don't we take both, one question for each. we running out of time. >> thank you for engaging the dialogue again. the defense authorization bill just passed by the congress had some language is a good on-time one. i just wonder from the administration point of view, how are you going to execute like medical -- and routine arms sales to taiwan? thank you. >> i have a harder question. you talked a little bit about protecting the sovereignty and independence of countries in the region and, of course, it is

what do we do about the south china sea? i describe a two-pronged approach in the report, dissuasion and diplomacy. first we want to dissuade china from doing any further island building, from deploying significant military forces to the region and engaging another sort of aggressive behavior. how do we do that? i think there's three ways to china essentially has paid no cost over the last four or five years and i think we can start imposing the costs and there's reason to do so as randy described outside of the south china sea. chinese activities there are challenging, what we might call for american interests and its useful it makes sense to respond in ways that demonstrate that. secondly, we can do more within the south china sea. in particular enhancing our maritime military presence in military posture. right now are limited to bases in the philippines and singapore. my own view is that is simply not sufficient. we need more access in more places across the city. and third, related to that come if we want to reshape the

more positive position even if it's not directly on point,we don't have to do something in the south china sea per se to express our concern about what china is doing in the south china sea themselves . in terms of our ability to monitor it and you asked about satellites, i think it's sufficient. i think one thing we want to do is make more information public, shine a light on this activity so that there's no doubt and occasionally we want to have challenges with the classifying things and doing it quickly enough but overtime we want the light shined on this behavior because it is of concern to everyone in the region . >> got it. >> why don't we take both, one question from each? >> thank you for engaging the dialogue again. the defense authorization bill just passed by the congress has some language specifically on taiwan. i wonder from the administration's point of view , how would you, how are you going to like a medical visit taught to taiwan and the high-levelvisit and in the routine arms sales to taiwan, thank you . >> roger cliff of the senate center for naval analysis. i have a harder
