growth to continue, that needs to be security and peace and not the moment in the region, territorial claims in the south china sea make it a potential flash point. you've got china becoming increasingly acetic, aggressive, sometimes even in staking those claims. and it's also this huge naval passageway is also with us and its allies have been conducting freedom of navigation operations. now the other issue that's a risk to peace and security in the region is not where that's now civil war since the crew in 2021, the humanitarian crisis is worsening. just a few days ago, an audience delegation, auditing officials delivering aid a convoy came on the attack. now. so these challenges is what we expect anita's to be talking about at this summit. so what, what more, what we expect to come from the summit? what else to the folks of the most of the philippines president side and marcos junior said he's going to push for us in countries to finalize the code of conduct for the south trying to see. and he says, this is key to resolving the issues. the territorial claims between southeast asian countries and china. now, ther

china and taiwan are just the main one, and the states are being dragged into conflict the entire region is already and the philippines are preparing to patrol the south china sealong with american ships, and japan , together with south korea under the pretext of protection from the north, are deploying american weapons. here are just the same petri in the southwestern japanese islands. miaka have nothing to do with the korean peninsula , chinese experts assure and recommend that they arm the islands with anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles. and prepare for military intervention in the taiwan issue. this is a very provocative move against china in response. china must further strengthen its opportunities to counter potential attempts at military intervention by external forces. that is why the chinese army is increasing its contingent in the strait zone, where taiwan in a week about its own maneuvers with the participation of foreign intelligence, and before that , it will hold reservist training, which for the first time also called up women. and, judging by their ability to handle weapons, the casco bulletproof vests on the head of the taiwanese administrati

south china sea islands, told obama they are for commercial, economic purposes. they're all militarized. they are there to take control of the south china sea. it is china's aggression in the indopacific region the global power to change the international order that is driving the tension. president xi, in the last, last month, three times, went after the united states as an adversary in a way that he had not in the past, implying, potential conflict. the president of the united states at best will say that china is a a competitor. i wish he would say they are adversary which i think they really are or an enemy, as they really are. no, we have to place the foot of this responsibility where it lies. that is with the chinese communist party and what their strategic objectives are. domination of the indopacific region and the world writ large and that is why the tension exists. neil: you know one of the things he did go on to say, he is not a fan of the chinese, he is just saying that he is reading their cockiness a sign he doesn't think we have the stomach for protected economic war with china. americans won't accept higher prices, maybe no available goods that comes with that, that we're soft

both china and taiwan are just the main one, and the states are dragging into the conflict the entire region and the philippines are already preparing to patrol the south china sea along with american ships, and japan, together with south korea under the pretext of protecting against north deploy american weapons. but the same petri from the southwestern japanese islands of miyaka have nothing to do with the korean peninsula , chinese experts assure and recommend. look at the map, their real goal is to arm the islands with anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles and prepare for military intervention in the taiwan issue. this is a very provocative move against. china in response. china must further strengthen its ability to counter potential attempts at military intervention by external forces. even he is sitting. that is why the chinese army is increasing its contingent in the strait zone, where taiwan will begin its maneuvers in a week with the participation of foreign intelligence, and before that it will hold reservist training. for which women were called for the first time and judging by their ability to handle weapons, body armor helmets on the head of the ta

growing challenge of china within the region, in terms of its economic coercion, its expanding of military presence within the region, and its assuring international law in the south china sea you touched on it. meetings. the south china sea. you touched on it. meetings between these two countries are rare. now we have seen two in just a couple of months. talk a little bit about the timing here and also the agenda, what are they trying to get done? b5 also the agenda, what are they trying to get done? $5 i trying to get done? as i mentioned, president i trying to get done? " i mentioned, president yoon, prior to becoming president and during his presidency has put a top priority, in terms of rehabilitating the bilateral relations. the understand is that south korean security, its economic prosperity, will be linked to working with japan and the united states and it is going to have to work with these countries to push back against north korea, as well as deal with the challenges in china. both leaders see the cooperation bilaterally, try laterally with the united states but also in venues such as the g7 is really, really important venues to deal with the economic challenges

growth and development — but discussions will also focus on regional issues like the crisis in myanmar and the situation in the south china sea she leads the southeast asia programme at lowy institute and joins us live from sydney. it's great to get you back on the programme, susanna. ijust want to get a sense from you, what you think the key things that will be in focus today's when the leader sit down and try and have these discussions. well, there is the issues that they would like to be discussing, such as economic integration and how they will recover from the pandemic. but then the issues of the day, especially in me on mark, are going to be the ones that preoccupy them the most. , me especially the violence escalating and as the country was attacked in recent days, it's going to be really hard for them to overlook but as being a sort of key challenge that they really have to grapple with.— of key challenge that they really have to grapple with. yeah, against that backdmp. _ have to grapple with. yeah, against that backdrop, what _ have to grapple with. yeah, against that backdrop, what can _ have to grapple with. yeah,

optimism. stephen, you know, as we've talked a little bit about the south china sea and tie one what, what interest as a, you haven't in that region at all, and why is it, or should it be getting involved to in that? well, 1st of all, it is the trade routes and it was to protect the french of citizens. don't, don't forget, i mean, the french, as part of france is in the pacific. and these countries have ties, longstanding, ties, century old ties to the pacific region. so it's, it's not somehow getting involved, it's just a keeping involved in a part of the world that is rising. that's getting richer. that is very important to the west. all of the west in terms of trade, but also in terms of, of working ideally together to face issues like climate change and other problems that really are global problems. so nobody wants this kind of division that gets hostile. there is just a sense that china is beginning to push outwards in ways that damage other people's, long's long standing interest and they are opinions like the americans are responding. vicki, as on a mentioned and sort of touched on a little little bit earlier, you know, we

you know, around the south china sea, asia pacific and into pacific region, international monetary fund i m f has just released to report that full cost, the state of economies across the asia pacific region growth is project to increase this year to 4.6 percent. that's up from 3.8 percent and 2022 or 0. jessica washington has more from beijing. it's really a positive indicator for the region as a whole of the regional economic outlook has raised asia's economic forecast for the year of 2023. under this broader theme of resilience, despite the global economic challenges, the report notes, of course that 2023 is a challenging year in terms of the outlook for the global economy. but despite the challenges, despite that rather gloomy outlook, the asia pacific remains in i and i quote, a dynamic region that is, is said to sort of power growth for the global economy through 2023. asia pacific is a set to see a growth rate of 4.6 percent for the year of 2023. and another interesting statistic in this report is that the reading is set to contribute around 70 percent of global growth for the ye

china taking advantage of that and inserting themselves in the region. rich: heading farther east, we hear so much about china in the south china sea, it's a major shippingt, international water, but china thinks it's their waters, but there's now a large agreement in place, significant agreement in place between the united states and phillipines. what's that about? >> you're right, the u.s. and philippines announced the next four air fields part of enhanced originals agreement and that's a total now of nine different bases where the u.s. could operate its forces from. this is critical for the united states being prepared to deal with a crisis either in the south china sea where the philippines is very interested, or in taiwan, which is only 200 miles away from two of these facilities. rich: you think about the history with the philippines. it was an american colony, there was a war the turn of the last century. we've gone back and forth with the government of the philippines as to how significant our ties are. how big of a deal is that? >> well, i think it's great because it reinforces the mutual defense treaty that we have with the philippines. that's

south china sea. we conduct exercises with our allies and partners in the region.and they know that principally that is all directed against them. we wouldn't be doing much of this, to be frank, dana, if they weren't so aggressive in reaching out and trying to dominate and control the pacific region useing coercion to do that and undermining civil societies and what you are just presenting here, they are conducting one of the most comprehensive penetrations of america in the history of the country. the soviet union pales by comparison to what the chinese are doing. >> dana: they said the u.s. will continue to fly, sail and operate safely and responsibly wherever international law allows and basically saying that they will follow international law but telling the chinese to back off. let's show the map. these are drone attacks around moscow that apparently have been happening and john kirby, the white house spokesperson for national security, said they do not support ukrainian attacks on russian soil. listen the him here. >> we've been clear privately and publicly w

growth and development —— but discussions will also focus on regional issues like the crisis in myanmar and the situation in the south china sea southeast asia programme at lowy institute in sydney, australia. she explained which key discussions would take place at this year's asean summit. the issues that they would like to be discussing, such as economic integration and how the region can recover from the covid—19 pandemic. but then the issues of the day, especially myanmar, are going to be the ones that preoccupy them the most. and especially with violence escalating in myanmar and reports that a convoy delivering humanitarian assistance from asean countries was attacked in myanmar in recent days, it's going to be really hard for them to overlook that as being sort of the key challenge that they really have to grapple with. yeah. you know, against that backdrop, what can they realistically achieve on myanmar, particularly given the fact that there's been so much dissent within the group, hasn't there? there doesn't seem to be a sort of united voice or position on this issue. realistically, there's very little that they can

level one, bunch of the regional blocks under pressure to help and the escalating findings and me and my issues of trade on investment as well as dispute. some of the south china sea are expected to dominate the thoughts approximately has more now from level one by jo. well, the most interesting thing and indonesian president joke overdose opening address is how we talked about the global dynamics becoming more unpredictable. and he says the question for us in is whether it wants to remain a spec, tater, or become an engine of peace and growth. now, the message essentially is that it's time for us into play a big role in the global stage. it is after all, the region that has one of the fastest growing, fastest growing rates and economically, but from growth to continue that needs to be security and stability and not the movement territorial claims in the south china sea make it a potential flash point. china has become more assertive and staking those claims and then you also have the us and its allies conducting freedom with navigation operations. i know government is also and not the risk to security in the region ever since the crew in 2021 that's open wolf and

south china seas. it's, it's domain. well that's really a stretch because you have freedom of navigation through those areas. you really want to declare that as their pond. but in reality, you've got other countries in that region like the philippines, malaysia, india, and it's, and, and so on. and that have equal rights to harvest, mineral, minerals. but china once steps gone with it all. so it's not just us. i mean, so the countries that are emerging, who large powers, and i think that you're going to see this any time a country has that, where with all to expand and to and to move into these areas and dominate over another country. and that's why countries enter into alliances, but in reality, they're not going to stick with them. it's especially in this modern age. so we go into an alliance with the south korea and japan to against china. are you joking? they're not going to go up against china in any way with any reality because that's, that's their big a big gorilla in the closet there. and the rhetoric sounds like they are, it feels like everything they're saying is very accusatory against child. china is almost a new villain today. well they can huff and puff there while they below the house. now that's

over the south china sea, should we take over taiwan, they look and say we're not just contending with the united states. we're contending with the united states allies and partners in the region so yes, step in the right direction here, bill. >> bill: you think about that part of the world. australia, new zealand, philippines, south korea, japan, right? that is essentially our team, general. >> yes, absolutely. to include taiwan also. and we have relationships with vietnam that we have strengthened as a result of china's intimidation and coercion of vietnam. we don't have mutual refence treaty that we have with these three other countries but significantly improved because of what china is doing. >> bill: let's talk later in the week. jack keane, appreciate you coming on today. thank you. >> dana: for more on this tonight there will be a special report that you are going the want to see. benjamin hall as an exclusive interview with secretary of state antony blinken at 6:00 p.m.enter >> they'll have much to discuss. hollywood loves a good drama. this is too real. this is hemmer celebrity news. did you know, miss perino, the clock is ticking for hollywood studios and streamers

south china sea where multiple countries including u.s. allies claim access here. china is claiming it as its own, u.s. doesn't buy that, and several of its allies also have cl claims in this regionhe alliance? they have military exercises. and just in the last few days, the u.s. and the philippines have had their biggest exercises they've ever had before. you do things like practicing air airlift, et cetera, getting those forces to work together. getting them under the same command structure in the event of military action. i want to drawing your attention to one thing they did in these exercises. that is this. they sank a ship, this ship here, joint exercises, you can see it obviously a radar image in there is the ship. it went under. where did that exercise take place? it took place here in the south china sea where china claims it, u.s. denies those claims. that's important, it's notable. and by the way, when you do those exercises, it's not just about the military training, it's about sending a very public message to china about the u.s. military presence in asia. boris. >> an important story to keep an eye on, jim. we are obviously watching the president of the philippines
