is accusing china of militarizing the south china sea to china as it is in the u.s. of the same thing in the past of course china has said that the u.s. uses these types of legal arguments like freedom of navigation to actually barge recklessly they say into their region china of course claims this entire region you know last week my pompei actually accused china of deploying military ships to intimate. other countries some starting well and gas projects there so it's a lot of he said she said china of course call this just deliberate provocation this is really a crazy blasting point when we will we need to take a good look at michele good stuff thanks for bringing us the micro side of that story as we explain the macro side of that story and now as usual let's do the analysis george galloway former u.k. m.p. joining us now to take this support for us your impressions george over the top of this sudden incident that seems to be blowing up there in the south china sea what is it. well it's you know that is similar to our recent discussion about the powers on gulf and

flexing their military power in the pacific this while the chinese navy hold a massive drill in the south china sea what's the u.s. federal government is now considering working with huawei but under certain conditions so will this mean that china's tech giant will be removed from america's black list find out next then the cruise line industry in the limelight in the age of the throat of virus while some cruise lines are slow in issuing refunds a handful are preparing to set sail again all right it's time to boost your new i.q. . the united states could soon be working with while way to establish 5 g. standards one year after blacklisting the chinese telecom giant to keep it from working with u.s. tech companies now the move could signal a shift in policy at a time when washington wants to be at the forefront of 5 g. we have our rachel blevins she joins me now to discuss more of this in detail so rachel what do we know so far about this decision well it was just one year ago when the commerce department announced that it would be blacklisting wall way in the 1st place and at the time they cited na

territories peace for example the south china sea a way you know china is building up its forces and assets in the region despite the clarity despite the lack of clarity of its sweeping claims in the south china sea. you know i do think there is a possibility that this mine escalate if nationalise opinion. if nationalist opinion both countries. becomes becomes quite strong you see sure and i think it will be if if if this goes on for much longer in the media and that's going to pressure both governments to adopt tougher measures against each other leading to a high chance of escalation sumit let me move on to what adams says that we have an increasingly assertive china on the xi jinping on a more overtly nationalist india and in the render modi will not cause problems if this continues if these confrontations continue. i certainly think so but peculiarly if these chinese provocations continue because you see there is a larger pattern over here faced with criticism on their lack of transparency on the covert 19 issue china has also engaged in what the era of further into themselves as

there's also this last week the united states sent b. 52 bombers into the south china sea as a show of force in the region and then over the weekend 2 more u.s. navy ships were sent to patrol the south china sea the u.s. . and the u.s. and cesar chavez are both being assigned to patrol the area off the coast of malaysia where the u.s. accuses china would stealing the country's oil supply china argues look the region is part of the south china sea which belong to them they say historically and now they china is threatening the united states to leave what they call their backyard but with all of that going on there's now something else there's another conflict that involves china and this one has to do with another potential nuclear superpower so what i want to do is i want to go to the map and i want to show you this border clash that seems to be developing here are take a look at this map because it shows what this story really is confined to the border between india and china all the way through here and then through here and then through here taking away butan in nepal which is an in

south china sea conflict or whether it's a war or dispute about tariffs with the united states and now we add to that number 4 which is the white house accusing china of cooking up the team and factory what do you make of suddenly china being so preeminent in the conflicts and criticisms around the world george. seems like only. yes today it was russia was the constant been in the in the argument the born in the thrall of the united states at least all of the democrats on the congress but it's what you call in boston ball a full court press. all over the place it's the south china sea it's the india china board are it's the trade war it's the call big 19 the key point that you made earlier in your wonderful introduction was the united states intelligence says this story about the war is baloney and so did the chief of stuff all of the united states armed forces he said it was baloney but baloney is constantly proc told by the prez the secretary of state strange days indeed well good stuff as usual george galloway for giving us the perspective on this story ever history lesson i find th

their military power in the pacific this while the chinese navy holds a massive drill in the south china sea plus the u.s. federal government is now considering working with one way but under certain conditions so this means china's tech giant will be removed from america's black list to find out next that the cruise line industry is in the limelight the age of coronavirus while some cruise lines are slow in issuing refunds by hand or actually prepping to set sail again right the total time to boost their new i.q. . so as u.s. china relations deteriorate decades old tensions in the south china sea are ramping up between both countries well a number of nations have conflicting territorial claims in the region in the united states seems eager to strike that fire to the detriment of china our case alex one hell of it has that story. there from the united states armed forces are patrolling the south china sea we're conducting a lot of surveillance flights we have conducted a number of the taiwan strait transits we are continue to watch closely what the chinese are doing and the u.s. is keeping a

accuses china would stealing the country's oil supply china argues look the region is part of the south china sea which belong to them they say historically and now they china threatening the united states to leave what they call their backyard but with all of that going on there is now something else there's another conflict that involves china and this one has to do with another potential nuclear superpower so what i want to do is i want to go to the map and i want to show you this border clash it seems to be developing here are take a look at this map because it shows what this story really is confined to the border between india and china all the way through here and then through here and then through here taking a way to tonopah which is an independent border right that stretches for about 2000 miles and for decades now nobody seems to have been able to figure it out who really owns what with all due respect to the indians who are watching us and the government and the chinese who are watching us in the government who are going to argue their turf let me just try to explain to you as i give

on notice saying that it is willing and capable to defend itself for decades the south china sea has been subject to several overlapping territorial disputes between china vietnam the philippines taiwan malaysia and bernard and there's a reason for that without a doubt the sea is very valuable about one 3rd of the world's shipping flows through the strategic body of water 10 percent of all the world's fisheries are there and to top it off the south china sea is thought to contain $190.00 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and $11000000000.00 barrels of oil. that was to the dismay of its neighbors over the years china has taken possession of a number of tiny islands in the sea and since 2012 the country has gone so far as to create manmade islands like this one which now holds a runway and a sophisticated military base but besides sending military assets to the region the united states is also fueling the fire in other ways secretary of state mike pompei oh is urging members of the association of southeast asian nations to stand up to china accusing that country of taking advantage of

they signed in the rose garden that was a joke about cyber intrusions and militarization of the south china seawhether it's biden doing memorandums of understanding and let the chinese communist party have more access or giving speeches in china talking about the ccp having access into american government, american education, joe biden is a globalist and in this day and time, a globalist cannot win a national election in the united states. donald trump is the jobs president. he's going to get focus on jobs jobs jobs, high value-added manufacturing jobs to lead the fourth industrial revolution that's what this campaign is about and that's why donald trump is going to beat joe biden maria: all right, we will leave it there steve it's great to see you this morning thanks very much. >> thank you, maria. maria: steve bannon joining me. murder and manslaughter charges filed against a former police officer in the death of george floyd. could there also be federal charges for him? or are there other fired police officers involved as well? former south carolina prosecutor and congressman, trey gowdy my

seen tiny activity pick up in the south china sea. we see militia groups in iraq. terrorists come active from africa into afghanistan. we are side-by-side with our partners and allies. recently, we had a defense minister with our nato partners. we had a good discussion about how neato can respond to the coronavirus. of thevery cognizant impact that we see on the force and plotting our way ahead. using all resources and researchers to work on therapeutics and vaccines, we can talk more about that. we are cognizant about the impact that covid-19 might have on the force. onhave had a very low impact readiness, but we are anticipating what could be a greater impact, if we do not see a change in trajectory of the fires -- virus. those are all things that we had taking into consideration. i look forward to discussing these things. let me just say again that i am so proud of the men and women home and thoset risking their own health, as well as those abroad. >> mr. secretary, thank you. john allen, thank you for joining us. gratitude to our police force and all those who

intentions as well. >> we've watched president xi make a commitment that he wouldn't go to the south china sead build out militarily, yet he's done so. >> what you see going on in the south china sea, harassment, intimidation, they want to call that piece of water theirs. they have no international right to it whatsoever. they have planted some artificial islands and now they claim that's part of china. maria: given the strategic value of this region, the militarization of the south china sea is not a move the trump administration has taken lightly. >> president trump laid down a strategy to expressly push back against that, what we call our indo pacific strategy. there's a commercial component, a diplomatic component to it, but there's also a military component to it, to make sure that we guarantee for america that these sea-lanes remain open. maria: the chinese communist government is also taking advantage of its influence in developing countries by using them to build military bases, and they are setting those military bases around ports across the world. >> the chinese just opened up a bas

what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. you know to go home i differ with you don't focus the muzzle before everybody on our media goes eagles i suppose oh no. not this one of the whole heap of money for . me because it gives me too much us big ball couple to get pussy and i'm we said. someplace he most people in most columbia most came in nobody goes from believe me now sweetie was he just put oh you do i called. him those down but i mean he thought of the compass he was. going to someone down the little people knows you're not going so smoothly live in the do you believe i caught him on the field vehicle. and also knows

navy deployment in the south china sea, involving the increased tempo to .ntimidate any details you could provide about how you are thinking about the b-52s? since i came into office, i said i was going to implement a strategy that i only supported as army secretary. the way that we maintain a degree of predictability to ensure the availability. we have been taking several steps. some are known and many are unknown. from our deployed forces. not just a single function or mission. this is a win-win for us in terms of operational unpredictability. with regard to the needy, admiral davidson has done a great job and has actually picked up his tempo when it comes to operations in places like the south china sea with regards to our presence. we are conducting a lot of surveillance flights. we have conducted a number of taiwan straight transits. we are continuing to watch closely what the chinese are doing. it has been reported that the chinese have been a little more provocative in that part of the world. they suck a vietnamese vessel and they have been very aggressive. -- admiralg davidson dav

to that of coronavirus, the chinese military stepped up its harassment of us aircraft in the south china searepublican senator macron talks about china's aggression, welcome back. okay. our pentagon producer lucas tomlinson talking to the deputy assistant secretary of defense for southeast asia says at least nine times the chinese have been harassing us aircraft in the south china sea. what do you make of that? >> mostly due to the fact that the world is focusing on china asking them for some disclosure of how this whole thing happened. i know that the us has put the pressure on china to come clean and i think the europeans and others are doing the same thing. created and irritability. when you are generally i think doing something, hiding something, maybe this is kind of a distraction, a divergent. the chinese have a difficult way back to regain credibility, world trading partner so we know what happened prior to the coronavirus and unless they come clean, let everyone know how it arose there we should all learn from it. this is a world pandemic now that started there. it is part and parcel

they sunk a vessel in the the south china sea. nue to intimidate or oil drilling rights in south china sea you see increase aggressive behavior by china. >> fox news learned since mid-martha chinese fighter jets have buzzed u.s. planes nine times coinciding with the pandemic outbreak onboard the uss teddy roosevelt. new tensions between the u.s. and china, including ongoing finger pointing over china's role at the start of the pandemic. this week the administration announced progress and the u.s. china trade agreement. at the pentagon, jennifer griffin. fox news. jon: for more on this let's bring in national security and military analyst rebecca graduate she's the president of iris independent research. doctor grangt what do you make this have crackdown that a china is trying to impose on hong kong? >> the crack down on hong kong is absolute lunacy it really violates rule of law and autonomist status and i think xi is trying to slip it in under corona coronavirus but it's not working and you see president trump and speaker mcconnel

round in the ongoing fight between these 2 economic superpowers think coronavirus trade wars south china seas a military standoff and huawei or are we building up to something big i'm phil gale in berlin and this is the day. for me for obama to tell what was a congratulations reza sayah or not to ration the democratic process in taiwan has matured into a model for the world. in the u.s. taiwanese independence is a dead end plotting towards and supporting taiwanese independence be sure to fail despite great pressure from outside one is demonstrated the wisdom of giving our people a voice and a choice can only take the necessary reciprocal counter measures against us is mistaken actions the consequences of this will be borne by the us and that. greatly underestimated the degree to which beijing is proud of your logic will be hostile to free nations. also on the day a year after of autumn is umansky was sworn into presidential office in ukraine promising to end his country's a war with progress or separatists what's the 1st act on this comedian turned politician. has been able to end the war put

but also with the south china sea with these municipalities with a big landgrab in the south china sea with the navy and so forth and the taiwanese airspace. what they see is a result is a backlash internationally and that is a positive trend of germany trying to charge china, you see a backlash with two thirds of americans in a recent poll have a negative view of the chinese communist party. so what we ought to track now is how this plays out in this dynamic associated with this that china has acted in the egregious manner for those trying to warn about this and then people who advocate to have a say in how they are governed in hong kong and on the mainland. so what you are seeing is the chinese communist party so what effect does that have across the population? it is more critical this will happen against the backdrop of the economy to make good on the promises with the program of national rejuvenation and as the economy and then double down on practice that exacerbates the weakness and vulnerability of that. what is the? the united states and other free and open societies are doing

after promising president obama they would never if militarize or have bases in the south china sea,send out patrols. apparently, it looks to me like whenever a country like ma a laze ya, vietnam or the philippines start toss to actually drill oil or gas, the chinese show up, and they intimidate the ship, the survey ship or the drilling ship to stop. so it's a kind of business or mafia-type approach. keep out of the china sea, it belongs to china. and this is even though the u.n. tribunal ruled four years ago this is not chinese territorial waters. they're acting in defiance of a u.n. tribunal decision. lou: well, they mustn't be quivering too much about the prospect of u.n. response or, for that matter, u.s. response because four years have gone by and still they persist with their expansion their doctrine. >> well, you remember under obama and biden there was a four-year pause which i believe was a mistake on freedom of navigation patrols by our navy in the south china sea. president trump has increased them. there have been four just in the last few months. i think this is one way

in the south china sea they forms two municipalities, a big landgrab in the south china sea and so forth. and a lot of violations of taiwanese airspace, a backlash internationally. trying to charge china $130 billion. two thirds of americans have a negative view of the chinese communists party. the question is how does the competition play out and what is associated with this, china acted in an egregious manner, they ward about this and in recent days arresting, who advocate for chinese people having a say in governing in hong kong, what you are seeing is they are racing to put in place this orwellian state. across china's population, it is going to happen in the backdrop, china not being able to look good on promises made on a program of national recrimination. as the economy contracts, to double down on practices that exacerbate the weakness and vulnerabilities, doubling down on prizes and so forth. the united states and free and open societies do everything we can to protect ourselves against efforts of the chinese communist party to vote for free-market economic systems and the democ

we were talking about the distance from taiwan to china or the dynamics of the south china sea. aginable that a naval ship of the united states could grace hong kong harbor as it has well over 100 years. how do we show the flag and display to china any military projection? jonathan: it is difficult to do that because you don't know how far you can go. i am not sure how far washington wants to go. certainly, the south china sea is an area where china continues to expand and it is up to the u.s. what measures it wants to take. that worried about the prospect of the use of force by the people's republic against taiwan, because i think that would entail so many downsides for china that it is really not on the agenda, whatever the rhetoric is. ,om: explain, jonathan fenby one final question, can you explain the position of the military at the national people's congress, and the amount of ear they have of president xi. what is the linkage of the military in chinese leadership? jonathan: the people's leadership army is an important support for the political regime. xi jinping from the b

india hong kong the south china sea how many conflicts can beijing handle all at once where does the u.s. rank when it comes to kobe had 19 deaths iran and venezuela ignoring u.s. threats what if anything will 'd the white house do about it ok we explained to you a little while ago what's happening in the dispute between china and india now let's turn to the conflict in hong kong the images especially during this coronavirus epidemic when people are supposed to stay away from each other protesters beating people up and ravaging the city and being chased by police it's kind of amazing to look at and they're happening because china announced new security rules for hong kong which has protesters and the u.s. angry and irritated here to explain r.t. correspondent alex my head which. with sirens blaring hong kong police deployed water cannons and tear gas to disperse sometimes violent protesters no country well ever turned a blind eye to the illegal acts that may jeopardize its national security. it is the consensus of the international community which allows no double standards ongoing d
