member states of the association of southeast asian nations are vital to the prosperity of the u.s. economy generating hundreds of thousands of american jobs and investing more in our economy than china and india combined. they are the counter weight to chinese aggression in the region and world. the people's republic of china is working aggressively to expand its influence in this strategically important region using a combination of predatory investment, threatening new military installments, and outright bullying to achieve its goals. southeast asian countries seek assurance that the united states is a steadfast partner as they try to maintain economic independence from china and defend their territorial claims in the south china sea. we must support our partners and allies as they stand up to china's erratic and aggressive behavior. i have had many opportunities to meet with the officials and foreign ministers and one message i hear repeatedly is that the united states must demonstrate strength and leadership in the region. congress should listen closely to our partners who are

when i am confronted, for example, by photographs of southeast asian people, people from cambodia, vietnam, laos, in difficult circumstances, i am really, really touched because i know -- i can see in their faces what i saw in their faces in 1972 1975 when i was there -- how they express fear, terror, hunger -- it is ready. it breaks my heart. >> do think this experience when you are still young man built you or destroyed you? jon: i think it built me. i am not the same person obviously, that i was all those years ago. you can learn from it said that is a bit tough -- learn from it. it is a bit tough. journalists are terrrribly privileged. i was very privileged to be there at a young age, to see those things at the sharp end. and to see lots of suffering and terrific h humanity, h human bes helping each other as well. that marks you. from that point of view i don't think it turned me into a cynic. >> back to the tragedy, i wanted to ask y your reflflection after decades of covering wars around the world, it looks like history teaches nothing because we have the same issue in the indian oce

and being unlawful in their claims and making clear the united states is standing with their southeast asiantners in terms of moving forward, that they have been concerned for some time about what they call china's increasing assertiveness and have completely rejected the claims. this is something we expected but what we see is a tit for tat that has been going on for days. we heard from the national security advisor as late as late last week saying we could expect tough action toward china. it is clear this is the intention of the administration to send a very strong message. barbara: earlier i spoke wave china analyst who says beijing is feeding tension in the region. >> i believe we have a tipping point because the united states and a lot of other countries are deciding they are not going to ignore acceptable behavior on beijing's part. we have seen especially since february china act in ways which are especially dangerous and it andushing against india other nations. the increased tempo of dangerous intercepts of the u.s. navy in the global commons and beijing is driving this. there is a

today, for the first time, waington officially made its stance clear, that will stand with southeast asiannes rather than china. you ve to ask the question, why now? china and the u.s. held naval exercises in the area at thehi same time, is really rare, and indicates rising tensions. if you look the greater context, washington has criticized many issues on the coronavirus. but it's a move on south china that got the strongest response from beijing. territorial issues are highly sensitive in china. it would also be politically useful to beijing because it has claimed the u.s. is attempting to keep china down. hiso will be seen as another attempt by washington. laura: thank you so much for joining us. inther news from aund the world, washington dc's football team will op its redskins name and logo after long complaints that the name is a racist slur against tive americans. callfor change became louder following the death of george floyd. there is no word yet on what the new name will be. students at st. andrews university say mandatory -- will see mandatory lessons on sexual consent. dozens

will use all available tools to support southeast asian allies, wuth regard to china sea and china'serritorial claims there. in china, this will be seen as yet another attempt from the u.s. to bring china down. , all the china-bashing rhetoric and policies coming from washingtonhese days, thione will have the potential to provoke the strongest response, because two countries can argue all about trade disputes, but south china sea is about territory. the two countries' navies hav had some pretty tense interactions here. countries could go to war over all these seingly insig nificant rocks. thanks, once again. perhaps we willpeak again tomorrow. aylet's n america. covid-19 numbers continue to be shocking. a further 67,000 case and 900 deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours. the overall number of deaths in the u.s. is 136,000. new predictions suggest that by november that could reach 224,000 deaths. recent focus has beenas on t california, and florida, but now we are seeing escalation in smaller states, too. nevada has recorded record cases and deaths. 20 people died there in on

it's now for the first time waiting explicitly on the side of multiple southeast asian countries.ecretary of state pompeo upped the ante in a statement saying, we are making clear, beijing's cleams to -- claims to offshore resources are completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying to control them. china claims 90% of the south china sea, as well as the uninhabited islands where it has been building up military bases. but brunei, malaysia, the philippines, taiwan and vietnam also lay claims to parts of the sea which is home to valuable oil and gas deposits and is a vital waterway for the worlrld' commercece. beijing says its intentions are peaceful, but conducts naval exercises and harasses foreign veteran vessels in the region. the united states and china's relationship has grown increasingly tense over the past six months over beijing's handling of the coronavirus, its treatment of hong kong, and its crackdown on china's uighur muslim community. donald trump's critics say the u.s. president i is hoping to deflect attention from his own handling of coronavirus in the united

a more rational way the europeans the southeast asians countries like taiwan countries like thing that means they're looking at all of this and they're being asked to take sides in exactly the way that you say and they don't like it they don't want to be told but that is the world that people like mike. and it must be set a lot of people in the united states are drug learning incidents and act out and this is tall but you have to remember there is much push back to its very messy amik an apocalyptic byzantine reign which which is completely counterproductive because a puppet also is a chain has taken so if bandage us in western generosity what world is he living it. well this is the same individual paisa who want to say openly the cia has overthrown foreign governments now or when have i have come here or indeed other western politicians talk about generosity well i suppose generosity has been defined in there are no terms. could be chinese would find it generous how the americans and the british or the special services or america and britain have interfered in hong kong and have all t

today, we heard from secretary pompeo that the us will use all available tools to support southeast asianth china sea and china's territorial claims there. in china, this will be seen as yet another attempt from the us to bring china down. among all the china bashing rhetoric and policies coming from washington these days, this one will have the potential to provoke the strongest response because two countries can argue all about trade disputes or hong kong, south china sea is about territory. the two countries navies have had some pretty tense interactions here, so countries really could go to war over all of these seemingly insignificant wrongs. thanks once again, we seem to be talking every day given the current tensions between us and china. perhaps speak to tomorrow as well. let's stay america, because the net covid—i9 numbers continue to be shocking. a further 67,000 cases and 900 deaths have been recorded in the last 2a hours. the overall number of deaths is 136,000 people — and new projections from the university of washington suggest by november that could reach 224,000. our rece
