as actually south china sea is international waters, china objects to that? so how far are both sides willing to continue to push in order to have their way? well, that is the question, right? i mean this is, this is a big deal. what we've seen that happen in the south trying to see what their strong, arming their way into saying this, lars, everything is ours and saying, well we've got freedom navigation, we're going to push back to let you know that we're here. we've got our presence. it's been a big deal and then you see what happened just at the end of this past month in august. and it does it bring things to a new level? obviously, no one wants international conflicts or a global war. but right now, you're seeing the chinese posture themselves and say, you know what, we see a weakness in dc and we're gonna push hard and as fast as we can to accomplish more . we saw this from, from big stayed enemy actors during the obama administration as well. where they got as much accomplished as they could during those 8 years. they're doing it again now because they

the south china sea. we know that going into it. so now let's talk about this recent event that we're just now kind of finding out about. chinese analysts say this could be seen as countermeasures against the us military provocations that they've been doing on china doorstep supposedly all. and this name of fairness, so does the u, the u. s. has actually south china sea is international waters, china objects to that? so how far are both sides willing to continue to push in order to have their way? well, that is the question, right? i mean this is, this is a big deal. well, we've seen that happen in the south trying to see what they're strong arming their way into a saying with lars: everything is ours and saying, well we've got freedom navigation, we're going to push back. we're gonna let you know that we're here. we've got our presence, it's been a big deal and then you see what happened just at the end of this past month in august. and it does bring things to a new level. obviously, no one wants international conflicts or a global

back to the south china sea though. you know, they're usually the naval facility located dilution island took up more than 76000 acres, not a small place. it was actually used to surveil submarines during the cold war. so very key place president, clint did shut it down a part of his base shutdowns back in 1997. do you think that we will see that this us reopen is based considering the escalation of tension that's happening in the south china sea? well, that's a great question, scotty. i think look, there's been discussion about it. even with this current administration, what's gonna happen with it is tbd. and to be clear, there has been some operation still happening there training, training, and otherwise that's occurred at that base since it was officially closed down for its intended purpose. it's, but i think the answer is yes, it shouldn't be opened. we shouldn't be taking a stronger national security posture. we shouldn't be protecting our shore lines and our american people in our interests. the question is, if

it is clearly in response to beijing and the moves of the south china sea and its response to taiwan.erybody knows there is tension in the south china chief -- see. this attempt to get australia with nuclear powered summaries for the first time is a very serious attempt to push back with the balance of power. it will take care of the islands and expand influence in the area. it is a very important action that will have major impact in the whole region and globally. going back to the balance power principle. >> from a chinese perspective this is a way to counter china's influence in the region. is this going to change beijing's behavior? >> this goes back to colonial area gunboat diplomacy with cold war era soviet sauce put on top of it. the real issue, i wonder how the people in different countries there, arguing this. you said the u.s. representative in china was violating international norms and imposing its will. it is kind of ironic. it is the u.s. and great britain talking about this after what happened in afghanistan and the middle east? as far as beijing is concerned it is the

i think that is very far as, as far as the south china sea, at the end of the japanese occupation, it was american washer, that carry chinese soldiers to those islands which have been traditionally part of chinese territory. when you buy the maps of the south china sea in before this house out, china see the dispute started the 9 dotted line was there, nobody was contesting these water countries. i was claiming he's already already planning on building on these islands. china was forced to do whatever needs to protect its territory. the most important thing is these disputes between china and its neighbors that it has a dispute with and we are solving these issues the, the, the code of conduct, hang on to have. everybody talked a little brain. don't know, please don't tell me. going to james. i'm going to go to games. now. hang on, hang on. i mean, i'd go to james here. we have a very limited amount of time. james, i'm glad that we know. and lucian have brought up the issue of these islands because what i find really puzzling and perplexing is it why, how is it in the american nationa

it's been held over two years since 1996 in the coast of the south china sea. the u.s. and other nations have been mounting in recent months. we have reports. reporter: a show of china's force in the air and its advanced technology. >> i think everyone cares the most about the age 20 bomber. -- h 20 bomber. other than that it is the j 20 fighter. reporter: j 10 and j 20 stealth fighters are among the highlights of this airshow. it is part of beijing's drive to compete against western rivals, selling its latest military hardware and technology. >> the main feature of the f k 2000 air defense weapons system is that it is a combat vehicle integrated with an air defense system. and has two sets of radar, a photoelectric sensor, six missiles on each side, and two antiaircraft guns. reporter: it is a show the u.s. is likely to keep a close eye on. it signed a security pact with the u.k. and australia that includes providing nuclear powered submarines to cameras at the tarrant to what they cs chinese threats in the end of pacific region. last week, leaders of japan, a

coalition so of course they have got japan and south korea to help them in the end of pacific region but having another half dozen submarines that can stay at sea sea that the americans have been doing in terms of their freedom of navigation is going to help or even look like some years to come onstream and i think the americans may have seen an opportunity here with this growing trade war between australia and china over the last couple of years and an opportunity where they could offer australia as something which in some ways they could not refuse.— could not refuse. thank you very much. could not refuse. thank you very much- we _ could not refuse. thank you very much. we have _ could not refuse. thank you very much. we have heard _ could not refuse. thank you very much. we have heard from - could not refuse. thank you very much. we have heard from the l much. we have heard from the americans and australians. now let us hear from the americans and australians. now let us hearfrom the british. this is how the tape minister borisjohnson described the arrangement department. it amounts to a new pillar of our strategy by demonstrating british ge

so i think it's based upon in part chinese behavior in the south china sea and they have created a problemis really leaving australia with very few choices about how it proceeds in the future. >> and china has not only expanded its claims in the south china sea, it's tried to punish australia for steps its taken, one to block chinese 5g from coming into australia and, two, calling for simply an investigation into the or gins of covid. china is australia's nmber one trading partner, judy, yet, today, clearly a sign australia is deciding strategically that the future is with the u.s. to counterchina. >> woodruff: and as yu say, this is a big move that's happening. what do the people you talk to say they expect china to do in response? >> they're not going to respond well. this will only reinforce what china already believes is happening which is the u.s. is ying to contain china using what china calls gangs as in the u.s. and its partners are ganging up on china. but the chinese experts i spoke to today pointed out the chinese-u.s. relationship is already bad. chinese's rath may be pointed t

decisions, such as building artificial reefs and then taking over entire areas of the south china sea you can't come in, this is china'territorial waters. ros: you allude to that particular project more broadly in the region, what would you pick out as main security pressure points that china and the u.s. are aware of? frank: it is taiwan, number one and number two, freedom of navigation. xi jinping has made it clear by the time of the centenary of the chinese come in's party founding in 2049, he wants taiwan to be back in the fold as it were. they have never accepted taiwan as an independent state. they would like it to come back under chinese rule, and they will do that one way or another. whether that means an actual military invasion, certainly there are signs, they have carried out aggressive acts such as penetrating taiwan security airspace and making threatening moves. but there is no indication they are planning that imminently. ♪ ros: next, we turn to france because around 3000 health workers have been suspended because they haven't gotten themselves vaccinated against covid.

so we hear why on earth, the aging want to constrain maritime passage through the south china sea. right at the time when the china has empowered it's heavily on coast guard to use lethal force. where every claims jurisdiction, which is a great expense of the south china sea, and where it's now requesting information from vessels transiting us for regions, but on it's so this would action gap has led to this collapse and trust and really this strengthening of military to terrance in the region is welcomed quietly . i'm much of the region at no, i think i know how likely is china going to use this alliance to justify expanding its own military? well i, i don't see that china is going to be putting more effort than it already is into its military budget. there could be a call from yes, i can, i, there might be calls from the war ox to try and have budget happen. 800 juncture chance, not in return to this, but recently that is going to try to join the a former t p p. so i think china's response is going to be economic in terms of australia, this idea that australia is being constrained

just months off, the britain infuriated beijing by sending its war ships to the south china sea to join, so called freedom of navigation operations, led by washington and china has condemned the new lions calling it a throwback to the cold war. countess should not build exclusionary blocks targeting or harming the interest of 3rd parties. in particular, they should shake off their colewell mentality and ideological prejudice. we are so you can always professor benjamin child and animal activists. richard becca about australia's choice of military partners and where this could all be leading. there's no explanation, why are the u. s. and the u. k. now, at this time helping australia develop a nuclear power suite of submarines and then turning around and saying this will advance the world peace. clearly this is about another war. this is about a war that is being prepared against china. the us leaders, they talk about the endo pacific, which is of course, a know term was made up to enable us to explain us leaders explain, bringing more countries into the anti china alliance, the surroundi

it started with its de facto annexation of the south china sea, is militarisation of reefs and islandsstion is, what does this mean for taiwan? the us government has made it very clear that it will support taiwan. the nightmare scenario for all of the us's allies in the indo—pacific is that they will be some kind of conflict over taiwan. it is not something that australia, orjapan for that matter, really look forward to. we are certainly not looking for a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a war over taiwan, a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a war overtaiwan, it a fight over taiwan. anybody starts a war over taiwan, it will be china. —— if anybody starts a war over taiwan. you would be right in saying that if the us provides this kind of technology to australia, there will be an expectation that we use it to support the us in the indo—pacific. there is also pretty cool quote in in these things. —— the question is will this alliance make it different, well it there would be the public and political will to stand up to chinese aggression if thatis sta

got a real temperamental area that we're dealing with the south china sea, we.

south china sea . but there have been a number of kind of military actions that have taken place in just the last couple of days that have been pretty serious. including the u. s. warship that traveled within 12 miles of a artificial chinese island in the south trying to see and china was furious about this so angry that some of its representatives as well as some of its state run newspapers or calling for china to retaliate by simply sending war ships within 12 miles of us bases in the pacific as well as within 12 miles of different us allies . and then also there are reports of china actually sending the planes into ty ones airspace recently. that happened just for the last 24 hours. so there been a number of these issues that have crept up. the problem right now for the vitamin administration is that they need to have a reset because right now is china is leaning pretty heavily into this face to see the us can and cannot do. you know, we've talked a lot about that again and then what's happening the

remember the, the dispute in the south china seas, which went against china, that the world court ruled against china. that was the case brought by the philippines and then we have no other countries in the region, vietnam, malaysia, all of which also threatens that, a china to the world court. so that's a problem that china has with it with its neighbors. and then of course, there is the big 900 pound gorilla in the road, which is the origin zip code. and you know, in millions upon millions of people have died all over the world. trillions upon trillions of trillions of economic value has been destroyed. and then needs to be some sort of a proper inquiry about lenny said chime and has become your response to me phone or our silly, silly accusations against other states. and there's no help the rest of the world, which has an right to find out about the origin. yeah. but that's my job to get to the bottom of georgia and i've talked many, many times about this. it looks like the by the ministration is not particularly interested in finding out about that. here, joe, let me go back to you

i won't sugar on the south. china sea, taiwan and hong kong china position is.

we all know that there are various countries that like to sale their warships along the south china sea and the taiwan strait. beijing is always on batting them for doing this. whether it's america or england, even germany a few months ago, sent out essentially they're only worship into that region. now it's facing is now asking for all foreign ships who are traversing those waters to identify themselves and their cargo. and then it was recently the form australian defense minister, mr. pine said he expects australia to be dragged into a war with china in the next 5 to 10 years. does that sound or seem in any way realistic to you? it doesn't seem really, really, but we see that in terms of war which are being beaten while while it was setting no, we're not talking about the we're not talking about peace or initiatives to develop peace or to discuss a different political interest in the region while we sit in the country, the ang, be sex, and country. speaking about warships, submarine, nuclear attack, nuclear warhead. this isn't dangerous rhetoric about is being developed by australia,

one is to send a message to china that if they keep being aggressive in the south china sea and, you know, taking over more and more of it, they're not, they're gonna confront, not just the united states, but the united kingdom and australia. it's also something that we did in the cold war when we had what we called and the united states, australia, and new zealand together to come back, what we saw the soviet expansionism in the, in the, in the region. so basically, i think this is to send a message in china, and i also think the timing is appropriate given what has just happened in afghanistan. people concerned about is the united states still going to be there? we need it. and the other thing is we supposedly did not check with our allies enough ganesh, than before we went out. this is a signal was still working with the british. are you still working with the british? perhaps the not the french, the french seem to be involved is just by the steel. it was 7, be friends working with the area to get these new submarines. do you think from a european mainland european perspective, th

and in the south china sea, in that neighborhood, the way he is warning against china as a nemesis of the united states, the way they're going to work on race with china, of course, leading dot arms race in asia, as well as china's ambition to become continental power and asia, all of that, of course, is leading towards cold war. and what's more problematic about it is that there's this, this in this, this dangerous situation evolving in the south china sea with now with the united states. of course how things are starting to build some of these and all that sort of stuff. we're having a nuclear peninsula with the korea's so all we have, we have a dangerous situation. it just as secretary, good terrorist described to us a world on fire. president biden's attempt to prevent the united states as the wolves firefighter has not been exactly the convincing. and let me tell you why not because you did not see all the right things. he said a lot of things, but i just compared the president by den speech today with president obama speech back in 2009 when he 1st became president after george
