the world. within east asia, i think the most difficult challenge is calibrating our responses to chinese moves in the east china sea and the south china sea so that it, in a way that encourages restraint on china's part and doesn't feel that they can constantly nibble away at the -- nibble away at the current status quo. we may have a bit of a challenge coming up, because taiwan is having an election. about this time next year and that may bring about some changes at least in how china perceives the situation. but i think in summary that we have the capacity to continue to play the kind of role that we have played in the past, and that would be a good thing. whether we have the will to do so and the political system to express that will is another question. >> to clarify one thing in my understanding, very well stated but i want to make sure i understand one of your messages if sequestration would occur and you're against it but if it were to occur your greater concern might be the signal that it would send about our inability to function effectively as the government and carry out policies that we'd already de

the south china sea? every barrel of oil that goes to japan, south korea and taiwan from the middle east passes through thesouth china sea. a huge amount of international commerce generally goes through that and the straits. if the chinese can turn the south china sea into territorial waters they will have their hands around the throats of key economies in east asia, key trading partners and friends of the united states, result in a huge strategic shift in the region. and yet we have a president who despite a much trumpeted pivot toward asia has done essentially nothing in response to these potential chinese threats. nobody is looking for a hostile relationship with china, quite contrary. but the way to avoid a difficult trout relationship or even more perilous one is to have the united states in a position of strength. and instead, we are in a position of weakness. it was an issue during the 2012 campaign where governor romney for example pointed out that at that time about 287 ships at sea the united states navy was at its lowest level since 1916. one nine one six. goes along with president obama's budge

think all this cultural influences that we are having from different parts of the world from the east -- china, japan and south america and other parts of the world. this globalization even if it is a bad word i hate -- the mixture of all these cultures coming together will bring new language in music. maybe we'll bring also a better relationship between public and composers because now the distance between the public and the composers that are writing music is too wide. this makes very difficult for the new music to survive because we have thousands of composers around the world. they write their music. when we conduct the score one time or two times, we feel morally in order. and then we forget the piece the second performance and the public also. the composers we had at the beginning of the 20th century -- with their life also the music is gone. that means we have to find in the future a way that composers and the public can communicate much more than today. >> it is great to have you here. welcome to new york. >> all the best for you. >> riccardo muti. thank you for joining us. see you nex
