don't have the leadership skills. >> that actually explains why we see the chinese actions in the east china seaocused on coast guard. so when the chinese operate in the east china sea, they will typically send three coast guard ships around the same caucuses and they will match them with four or five. if they escalated to the navy level and you reasoned action groups instead, there is no question the japanese would be far more proficient, especially if you got into any kind of crisis or conflict which is part of why you see they try and ensure it anytime the japanese or the united states uses military force is and what was previously a coast guard encounter at the chinese will claim its militarization, the first thing they bring up because it's enough for to keep the game at the coast guard level were eventually given the rapid size so the chinese coast guard is building 10,000-ton coast guard ships. these are giant ships and they are going to do it faster than the japanese can do it. the chinese know eventually they will have an edge of the low-level paramilitary coast guard level to push and

behind it, although the white house has been loathe to point that out publicly perhaps in anticipates of a visit like this. there are military aspect, security aspect in the china sea and east china sea. any minute now, we'll see the president and first lady emerge. he'll pull up, presumably not in a fiat. the security issues in the china sea, the united states firmly behind japan that in score. as we see the ruffles and flourishes heralding the arrival of the president and first lady. >> we are right now covering simultaneous events of major word leaders, but let's continue on with what is happening at the white house. there is president obama and first lady michelle obama exiting the door and prepared to meet president xi jingping of china. president obama has meet with president xi on previous occasions. last time there was a major announcement on reduction targets for emissions and climate change. we'll see if that happens today. following this welcoming ceremony, there will be a bilateral summit between the two world leaders and one of those fancy state dinners tonight. i want to bring in be our guest, ann lee, author of what the u.s. can learn from china. professor, t

the 70th anniversary of world war ii. yes, as far as china is it owns 80% -- or claims it owns 80% of the asia-pacific south china sea. some other the sections of the easthina sea. the message of peace is one that , as long as everyone in the region agrees china's claimed territory. of course, that is not the case. countries such as japan, the philippines, vietnam, and other countries all have claims to the same territory that china has. that, and the of context of the military capabilities being developed, there is a risk -- we have a number of countries making claims to the same territory. china is saying it is ours, and of course if other countries agreed to china's claims than that is where the president is making reference to the peace and there will be peace. but the problems arise when countries dispute those claims. at the moment, those countries are disputing those claims. rishaad: i want to give you some of the headlines, reassuring words that china would never or expansion. there will also be cutting 300,000,personnel by making that announcement will me have this gigantic military parade taking place. he is backing up his words was an action

what china can and should be is putting it into greater confrontation, greater tension with the rest of the world, not only the united states but also with its neighbors around the east china sea. this china imagine itself vaulting past the united states to become the most powerful country in the world? does it see itself as a rival to the united states and the ability to influence others in the ability to intervene in ways that we want to. it is especially tempting to feel that way now when we sense in our own politics a kind of paralysis command and ability to get things done, but it is important to remember that there are reasons to believe that chinese leaders have a sense of what is possible and what is not possible. the simple fact is that that china is not prepared to vault past the united states overnight. it is in so many ways a developing country today. being the preeminent power is expensive. you're expected to take a leading role. and as much as chinese military is growing, the annual spending officially still only a fraction of our defense spending is. the unitedthe united states has about one dozen aircraft carriers in china has one. instead of imagining china is

doesn't have any territory in the south china sea or the east china sea. the dispute the u.s. does have is with very few countries in this part of the world, the philippines in particular. therefore i think the united states should leave it to the pair of countries, china and the philippines or china and vietnam to work out. it is the right thing to emphasize that peace and stability need to be maintained and no need of violence need to be used when the relevant talk about the f countries in territorial disputes. these happen in other parts of the world. but the country that do not have [simultaneous speech] >> you can't boil it down to that and on that note we are out of time, victor gow,. >>> thank you for having me. >> victor gow, thank you for joining us this morning from beijing. >>> thank you. >> one of the stops for the pope tomorrow is a prison just outside philadelphia. up next: a look he at the catholic church's stance on the death penalty. >>> plus the search for answers one year later. what really happened to more than 40 students who disappeared from a small town

china can be today no surprises putting it into greater confrontation and great tension with the rest of the world not only with the united states and also the neighbors for instant around the east china sea and south china sea i think many of us have begun to wonder does china imagine itself going past the united states to become the most powerful country in the world? doesn't see itself as a rival in its ability to influence others and the ability to intervene in ways that we want to. i think that it's especially tempting for us to feel that way now when we sense in our own politics a kind of paralysis and inability to get things done as we would like to but i think it's important to remember there are reasons to believe the chinese leaders have a sense of what is possible and what is not possible and the simple fact is china today is not prepared to go past the united states in so many ways the developing country today and being the preeminent power is expensive area you are expected to take the leading role in things like the response to the islamic state or policing the international ceilings which are so essential to the economic health and as much as the military is growing and gro

on the european commitment to opposing chinese efforts to change the status quo and the south china sea for the east china sea? i think is a big question and i don't think we know the answers, but we are reaching an important inflection point, which is as paul is managing come at some point the chinese technological proficiency will start to outpace the russian proficiency in some areas. and if these continue and continue to go i think we'll see how you can only believe that will mean, they think there's a strong strategic rationale for the relationship. if we see the tide start to add an tension start ago i think that probably means this is more of a short-term marriage of convenience which, frankly, for many of us in washington would be what our preference would be. so i don't know the answers to thesthis question but i think they're important questions to ask and i look forward to having a robust discussion about the thanks again, paul, for starting the debate. >> that was a terrific. we've gone from very deep dive on some the technical aspects of cooperation to a very wide angle focus on what so

zach: that explains part of why we're seeing the chinese and the east china sea so focused on coast guard'srather than navy. when the chinese operate in the east china sea they send perhaps three coast guard ships out and around, and the japanese will 4-5. them with if they escalated to the navy level and you were using action groups, there would be no question the japanese of the more efficient. especially if you got into any kind of crisis, which is why you are seeing the chinese trying to ensure any time the japanese or the united states uses military forces in what was previously a coast guard encounter that the chinese will claim it is militarization. that is the first thing bring up because an effort to keep the game at the coast guard level ofre given the rapid size the chinese coast guard, 10,000 ton coast guard ships, giant ships. they are building lots of them and will do it faster than the japanese. it will have an edge at that low-level paramilitary coast guard level and they will push until the japanese or the united states navy has to show up with military vessels. i think tha

china always considers the operation. early warning and control aircraft. these aircraft in the asian region, so china the maneuvers of u.s. military aircraft in china sea, east china sea. the aircraft has the long range and also the missiles. it has the 2,500 kilometers range. on the other hand, china wanted to debtor military operation, u.s. military operation so china showed variety of missiles which can bring the nuclear warhead, the df-31 can cover all the mainland. china wanted to say china is winner of world war ii, so china has legitimacy to create international society or change international laws. china wanted to discuss only with united states, two major powers, will defy international rules, international orders, this is china's hope and china's will. china always insist uss china new type of relations. china wanted to show china has equal capability with the united states from this parade. 2.3 million, the number of military personnel is too much, even though china mainland is huge. but president xi has already ordered the army to mobilize the troops. if they were to reform the army troops, they have to reduce number of people. but on the other h

china despite the administration's unwillingness to say so. these growing threats are compounded by china's assertion of vast territorial claims in the east and south china seashich are inconsistent with international law. in 2013, beijing proclaimed an air defense identification zone own large portions of the east china sea. more recently, china has reclaimed nearly 3,000 acres of land in the south china sea, more than all other claimants combined, and at an unprecedented pace. last month, china's foreign minister said it had halted these activities. but recently released satellite images show clearly this is not true. what's more china is rapidly militarizing this reclaimed land, building garrisons, harbors, intelligence and surveillance infrastructure and three air strips that could support military aircraft. these new land features could enable china to declare and enforce an air defense identification zone in the south china sea and to hold that vital region as risk. china is incrementally and un alaterally changing the status quo through intimidation, even force. its goal appears clear. the assertion of sovereignty over the south china sea, a key econom
