TALKING ABOUT THE WAY CCP
BULLIES NEIGHBORS IN THE SOUTH
CHINA SEA WALK US THROUGH A
WHAT THEY ARE DOING YOU’VE GOT
EUROPEAN UNION SPEAKING OUT
ABOUT THIS, AS WELL AS THE
AMERICANS.
>> RIGHT, SO WHAT IS NEW HERE
THAT AS WE’VE SEEN THEY HAVE
AMASSED FISHING FLEETS VESSELS
TOGETHER PLACED IN SPRATLYS,
ESSENTIALLY USING AS
INTIMIDATION AGAINST
PHILIPPINES IN 2016 EU
OFFICIALS REFERRING TO
TRIBUNAL REJECTED IN WHOLE
CHINA CLAIMS OVER ENTIRE SOUTH
CHINA SEAWORLD PRETTY MUCH
UNDERSTANDS THESE ARE BOGUS
CLAIMS CONCOCTED, TRYING TO --
HAVE CONTROL THROUGH ISLAND
BUILDING PAST SEVEN YEARS OR
SO, MASSIVE MILITARY THAT WE
ARE ALL AWARE OF, AND THEY ARE
TYING INTO THIS, CIVILIAN
FISHING NEITHER LARGEST
FISHING FLEET IN THE WORLD
GLOBALLY SORT OF PULLS UP MORE
FISH THAN ANY OTHER NATION,
USED THAT TO BULLY NEIGHBORS
IN THE IMMEDIATE REGION,
COMMENTS ON HOW WHEN YOU
ACCOUNT FOR THE ENTIRE MASS OF
MARITIME POWER CHINA SEAS
ALREADY THE WORLD’S LARGEST
MARITIME POWER WHICH YOU THINK
SUNDAY ASSETS AT DISPOSAL,
THEY ARE VERY FOCUSED ON SEAS
PART OF MITCH LARGER GRAND
STRATEGY GREAT TO SEE U.S.
ALLIES, IN EUROPE, WHICH FOR
MANY, MANY YEARS, YOU EUROPEAN
ASIA SORT OF DESPERATE SPHERES
FROM SECURITY GREAT TO SEE EU
SEEING PROBLEM IN ASIA MORE
VOCAL ABOUT IT INDIVIDUAL
NATIONS PREPARING TO SEND
WARSHIPS TO SOUTH CHINA SEA AT
THIS POINT WE ARE LOOKING AT
BEGINNING OF BETTER
TRANSATLANTIC COORDINATION AT
LEAST UNDERSTANDING OF CHINA
ISSUE CHINA’S THREAT TO ASIA
AND BROAD OTHER WORLD.
>> LET ME ASK YOU, ABOUT
READINESS THE U.S. HAS BEENO
-- ISSUES OF ITS OWN IN TERMS
OF READINESS GOING AGAINST THE
CCP JACK KEANE, GENERAL KANE
COMES ON THIS PROGRAM A WILL
THE ALWAYS SAYS THE SAME THING
THAT WE ARE OUTGUNNED, WHEN IT
COMES TO THE NAVY, THE CCP HAS
BEEN INVESTING IN NAVY NOW WE
UNDERSTAND, THAT JOE BIDEN’S
BUDGET, BASICALLY HAS DEFENSE
SPENDING DECLINING WHEN YOU
LOOK AT IT, COMPARED TO
INFLATION, WE’RE NOT
INCREASING SPENDING ON
DEFENSE, EVEN AS THE THREATS
ARE RISING AROUND US WE KNOW
THAT THE ADMIRAL RELINQUISHING
TESTIFIED IN FRONT OF INTEL
EMPLOYEE LAST WEEK SAID OUR
FLEETS ARE WEAKER, AND NEED TO
BE UP UPDATED YESTERDAY ON
"SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES" I
SPOKE WITH OHIO CONGRESSMAN
MAKE TURNER ON INTEL CAN HE
HOW CHINESE GOVERNMENT VIEWS
STATE DEPARTMENT FOLLOWING
LAST MONTH’S MEETING IN ALASKA
HERE IS WHAT HE SAID.
>> OBVIOUSLY, THEY SEE
DEMOCRACY AS THREAT TO THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY, AND
SO, ANY CRITICISM THAT THEY
CAN PLACE UPON AMERICA, AND
OUR EFFORTS TO PROMOTE
DEMOCRACY SEE ADVANCING THEIR
GOALS SECRETARY OF STATE
BLINKEN SHOULD BE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT CHINESE
CRITICISM OF DEMOCRACY ANY TIME WE PLAY INTO THEIR
TIME WE PLAY INTO THEIR
NARRATIVE WE WEAKEN AMERICAEN
STRENGTHEN THEM.
>> WHY WHAT IS YOUR VOICE TO
YOU COUNTER THIS THREAT.
>> A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO
IT, ECONOMIC I ENGAGEMENT WITH
CHINA TRANSFERRING OF
INDUSTRIAL BASE TO PRIMARY
ADVERSARIES IS PROBABLY ONE OF
THE GRAEST MISTAKES PAST 100
YEARS WE HAVE TO REVERSE THAT
NOW, SO FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE
TO CUT DOWN, CHINA’S GROWTH,
CHUT DOWN ENGAGEMENT WE DON’T
WANT THIS, IN MY OPINION,
NATION GROWING ANY FURTHER YET
WE ARE STILL INVESTING GEEJDZ
ENGAGING, DIRECT INTO MILITARY
POWER THAT CREATES A MILITARY
EQUATION THAT WE CANNOT WIN
CAN’T CONTINUE TO DETER
AGAINST A PLACE GROWING LARGER
AND LARGER START WITH ECONOMIC
STRATEGY THEN MAINTAIN DEFENSE
IN THE PACIFIC, THE PACIFIC
DEFENSE INITIATIVE RIGHT FIRST
STEP SHRINKING BUDGETS I DON’T
NOT MAKE SENSE INFLATION
CUTTING INTO BUDGET KEY
CONCERN WE HAVE TO BE
SUFFICIENTLY RESOURCE TO DO
DEAL WITH REQUEST CHINA AND
RUSSIA, AND INCREASING
COORDINATION OF TWO NATIONS,
SO, ECONOMIC STRATEGY,
MILITARY STRATEGY AND I THINK
WHAT IS BEING DONE RIGHT NOW
IS BRINGING, THE ALLIANCE
SYSTEM, CLOSER TOGETHER ON
THIS ISSUE SO HAVING -- IN --
GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE
DAY CHINA SEES EUROPE EAR
ECONOMIC BLOC ONLY OTHER YOU
KNOW, COLLECTION OF COUNTRIES,
REALLY THAT IN AGGREGATE ABOUT
THE SIZE OF U.S. ECONOMY SO
THERE ABILITY TO TRADE WITH
EUROPE WHILE THEY CHALLENGE
U.S. REST OF ALLIED ASIA AT
CENTER OF STRATEGY FOR A LONG
TIME, SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
TO WORK TOGETHER AS ALLIES
START BUTTING BEIJING OFF FROM
FINANCING, FROM WESTERN
TECHNOLOGY, AND SOME
ULTIMATELY FROM MARKET ACCESS
CERTAIN WAYS REBUILD OUR
INDUSTRIAL BASES, REBUILD THE
COORDINATION BETWEEN OUR
COUNTRIES, FORM AN ALLIANCE
BASED TRADING SYSTEM START TO
CUT BEIJING OFF FROM WIDER
GLOBALLY ECONOMY HAS TO BE
DONE OVER TIME CAN’T BE DONE
IMMEDIATELY ULTIMATELY YOU ARE
TO GO TO HAVE TO HAVE YOU
BIFURCATE WE CAN’T CONTINUE TO
ENGAGE THE WAY WE HAVE TO
UNDERCUT POWER OVER TIME IN
THAT WAY WILL BE THE ONLY WAY
TO -- TO REGAIN THE ADVANTAGE
IN LONG RUN.
>> WORRY ABOUT BY A JACOBING
POTENTIALLY INVADING TAIWAN
THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY WANT
REUNIFICATION OF CHINA AND
TAIWAN.
WANT WHAT ABOUT THAT ARE YOU
WORRIED ABOUT THAT?
WITH U.S. GET INVOLVED IN A
CONFLICT?
NUMBER TWO SHOULD AMERICANS BE
WORRIED ABOUT GOING TO BEIJING
FOR THE BANG OLYMPICS, XI
JINPING OUT DOING -- VIDEOS,
YOU KNOW, COMMEMORATING THAT
THEY ARE DOING THE BEIJING
OLYMPICS IN 2022 WHAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT THAT?
>> I MEAN OLYMPICS SHOULD BE
-- LET’S FACE IT CHINA
CARRYING OUT GENOCIDE RIGHT
NOW FIRST WE’VE SEEN FROM
INDUSTRIALIZED NATION SINCE
NAZI GERMANY THERE IS REALLY
NO REASON FOR US TO GIVE ANY
JLTS LEGITIMIZES TO THIS, THEY
COME OUT ASKED TO BOYCOTT IT
WE SHOULD DO THAT I THINK FOR
COMPANIES TO REALIZE, THAT --
YOU KNOW, DOING BUSINESS, WITH
CHINA, PARTICULARLY ANYTHING
THAT SURROUNDS IS UNACCEPTABLE
SHOULD BE A MATTER OF NORMAL
CONTINUOUS WE DON’T ACCEPT
ENGAGEMENT WITH GENOCIDE
REGIME, WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE
THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT
THAT WE ARE IN THE GREATEST
CHALLENGE SINCE UWILL SSV IN
MANY WAYS MUCH, MUCH WORST
BECAUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS
ATROCITIES REALLY ON A LEVEL
THAT I THINK FEW PEOPLE
EXPECTED TO SEE IN 21ST
CENTURY FROM A NATION WE CHOSE
TO ENGAGE POWER FINANCE
ESSENTIALLY TRANSFER
TECHNOLOGY IN HOPES THEY WOULD
BECOME -- YOU KNOW A FORCE FOR
STABILITY IN THE WORLD INSTEAD
RETURN OF MANY OF HUMANITY’S
FEROCIOUS EVILNESS, FURTHER
TOLERANCE OF THAT SHOULD BE
FINISHED WITH THAT ANYTHING
THAT YOU SORT OF GIVES THEM A
PLATFORM, IMPORTANT IS
ESSENTIALLY CORE OF THE
CENTERPIECE U.S. DIPLOMACY,
ALSO TIME FOR BUSINESS LEADERS
TO UNDERSTAND THAT, TOO.
MARIA: ALL RIGHT.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR JOINING
