senator haggerty talked about the indo-pacific, we share a deep love of japan. i would contend with you that are most important ally and partner on the global stage might be japan. we've done a remarkable amount of things from the rubble of that. that's got to give us hope as we persevere and write in places around the world, the thing that i'm proudest of is working with partners on this committee and elsewhere building innovative partnerships in the indo-pacific, i'm sure we will talk about office. i'm proud of taking the leader level, bringing the maritime democracies of asia together. i'm proud of forging a stronger partnership between korea. i'm proud of what i did in vietnam and india, countries that are strategically more aligned with us. difficult undeniably but critically important, i'm pr of the fact that some of the countries that are the strongest supporters of the united states and europe from the indo-pacific, japan, south korea, australia, others have stood with us to support ukraine in difficult times. i want to underscore that i think one of the

they don't want the same thing to happen in the indo pacific. so we have to be vigilant here because this is not just about the future of europe which in itself is an enormous concern. >> i don't think there's any question that china will try to leverage some way into -- into this the trying to bootstrap themselves in europe. i think we need to be vigilant in that regard.ne well, my time is almost up but i do -- i know that you're on the national security council and you get to hear about the discussions. what in the world is the administration thinking about freeing up cash to iran? when the administration started with the first 6 billion and then even worst than that, after the fight started inwi israel, they are talk about the other in10 billion. so help me understandd this, i can't -- i just can't square cathat circle. i really can't. >> look, senator, i do want to underscore certain things. i think my view of the administration is on iran's role. i do want to underscore one thing that despite some discussions in the meeting elsewhere, i don'

any, any east asia, on the into pacific event. on the one hand, you have china, which is from the boss, majority of countries in the region, in some cases very much. so the largest trading partner in economic pond. and on the other hand, you have us, which is often the chief guarantor of security. and so that's, that's some people to say that, you know, if we were going to see any type of collective defense agreement come to fruition, what we need to see 1st is a collective economic resilience and security corporation come into fruition 1st. because that would need to be in place really for us allies to feel comfortable that their economies wouldn't be so drastically impacted by any type of collective security agreements before they jump into a defense, a conventional defense agreements of that nature. right. so is a lot of those sort of negotiations that isn't going on behind the scenes of a or is this not a sort of pressing issue for the countries in that region. once do we do about china as well? i mean, it's very much in the fr

remember talking about the in the pacific region is china's claim to taiwan. in your opinion, the, the greatest threat to security at the moment in that region. i think it's one of the most delicate insensitive issues and certainly one of the most risky areas given both the election and tie one that will happen at the end of this week in the us election cycle here. i think for 2024, the risk is probably minimal because of those the, the timeline of those 2 events. i think everyone is going to take a wait and see approach until after the us as the election is over. but certainly looking into 2025, you can see a scenario where there's an incredibly strong robust strengthening relationship between the u. s. and taiwan. and the deterioration of us china relations that does give greater cause for concern that an accident or crisis could escalate in ways that are contrary to the interest of both sides. but for the moment, i think the, you know, the agreement between the presidents biden and she jumping in san francisco, is that a relatively stable sort under the rela

how realistic do you think the chances are of a nato style alliance in the asia pacific region? i think the short term prospects are very challenging for developing and in style alliance in the asia pacific. there are simply too many competing interest among the types of countries that would come together to form that alliance to see them showing up in any circumstance to defend the other. that said, i think what the bind administration in particular has done quite well is in finding opportunities for us allies to work together on common projects. whether that's in maritime security awareness, whether that is in, you know, digital agreements or work on under these tables. there's been a significant amount of cooperation among us allies and not all of it involves the us. and i think that that is the type of web de lines system that's more realistic in the short term. i want to take your take on the, the, the upcoming election this year in the united states and how it's going to impact the relationship between the us and trying to me, we're talking more and more about these 2 super

and, uh, but also for united states and for other countries along the pacific rim. this was the way to quote our last and i was in the area a possibility to a significant earthquakes. however, this, this earthquake that to be observed today was different because it occurred on the west side of japan. and it's in the sea of japan, which doesn't have the access to the, to the pacific countries here, south korea, north korea, russia and china mostly affected by the effects of the tsunami in particular. and a lot of countries that followed suit setting up early warning systems with a they as experienced and as good as the japanese the japanese definitely the i trip lasers in terms of phenomena. wondering about the, the system that we have in the united states and the pacific operated by law is really, really good as well. but it has a preparation reset at top among the top 10 of things to do stuff is education. so. so, and that's what happened since 2011, a lot of public education took place in japan as well as an envelope. okay, interesting stuff from a voice, the profe

should congress increase the indo pacific supplemental or is it about right? >> i think the supplemental was responding initiative to ukraine frankly because our funding was rapidly running down and we had to put that back in place and suddenly in october 6th, we were confronted with israelis by hamas so that became part of and then i think we also thought and we had to go the extra way which was indo pacific funding and also some humanitarian funding not just in one area but many parts of the world. and i think the composition of the bill reflects sort of different times, different impulses but we should be able, i hope, to fund all those and without indicating we have a preference of one or another in terms of their success but it's more, what's more immediate, what do you need to fastest, how much time do you have and i know with respect to the indo-pacific in terms of taiwan, excuse me, i demoted him, general flynn is doing remarkable job there but the capacity at the time, for example, to absorb equipment, to train their forces to increase their even their

the west is increasing its influence in the asia-pacific region. in particular , by the united states. washington is unceremoniously expanding its military infrastructure, bringing it closer to the borders of russia and china, leading a military, essentially anti-chinese alliance, which includes the usa, england and australia, is considering the possibility of supplying weapons to taiwan to create a new pacific union. fours. usa, japan, australia, philippines. meanwhile, tensions between the us and china could fuel flashpoints in the asia-pacific region. thus, the visit of us house speaker pelosi to taiwan was regarded in beijing as a political provocation. let me remind you that the politician visited the island in august last year and during her trip stated that the united states opposes unilateral attempts to change the status quo of the island. and the solidarity of the united states with the people of the country today it is important how... when the situation in the region escalates, including nato's advance to the east, it not only intensifi

the head of the asia—pacific division of the asia—pacific division of the imf told me he expects inflationn central bank software plus targets of the year. as you know, inflation around the world was rising in 2020 and for the asia pacific. the difference was it started rising later and then it went down faster in asia compared to other parts of the world. within asia, for instance withinjapan inflation started rising and in china it is negative in november it came back 0.5%. what we expect inflation to come down around 2.7% by end 2024 and around central bank targets across most countries the region. japan has long been known for its relentless work culture where employees are reluctant to go on holiday and almost never leave the office before their bosses. yet for more than 50 years japan has ranked lowest in employee productivity among the g7 group advanced economies. tokyo corresponded shaimaa khalilfound out that some workplaces are now trying to do things a little differently. japan�*s salary man and its notorious rush hour have become symbols of this workaholic society. pressure and

in the pacific. malaria was an even greater problem, one complicated by the huge and widely separated areas which had to be kept under observation by the malaria survey and control units. the solomon islands campaigns proved a severe test for these units. they searched for new mosquito vectors and determined their habitats. the men took out a brain used repellent on net. there were many breeding places of the anopheles on the road to japan to control them. every method of spraying, dusting, oiling and draining was used. typhus of the scrub by mite variety proved a serious disease hazard in the pacific, and the india burma theater. since much less was known about this form of typhus. extensive studies had to be made of the clinical disease. the request, the causing it and the animal hosts and insect vector carrying it. rodents and other mammals as well were investigated as the animal reservoir for this disease. ticks, mites and other surface insects of the common wild animals were studied as possible v

the west is increasing its influence in the asia-pacific region. closer to the borders of russia and china, leading a military, essentially anti-chinese alliance, in which includes the usa, england and australia, is considering the possibility of supplying weapons to taiwan to create a new alliance of the pacific four. usa, japan, australia, philippines. meanwhile, tensions between the us and china could fuel hot spots in the asia-pacific region. so is the visit to taiwan of the speaker of the house. pelosi's us representatives in beijing regarded it as a political provocation. let me remind you that the politician visited the island in august last year, during her trip she stated that the united states opposes unilateral attempts to change the status quo islands. and us solidarity with the people of the country is more important today than ever. it is escalating the situation in the region, including nato’s advance to the east. this not only intensifies the arms race and poisons the atmosphere of regional cooperation, but also provokes even a new

we have been in the indo pacific since the end of world war ii. i had dinner last night, hosted a dinner and honored the departing japanese ambassador. we have spectacular alliances with korea, japan, australia, the philippines. i am confident that the problem is logistics, which is why we had the global positioning network to create things like the corporation in the philippines. our units are small enough, mobile enough, and low signature enough to get to their strategic locations, to do counter recon and recon to strike and enhance joint tell chains. then the challenge is sustaining that. but people will often think you will never be able to sustain those forces. the only thing harder then sustaining yourself inside is fighting your way back in. i will take the first problem and solve that, which i am doing through air surface and potentially service delivery, throughout it manufacturing and 3d printing. we are ready to go if you ask general journey. you would find that that first one is number three. it is initial operation capable now. they h
