as far as the south china seas go, what was china's seeing as it began to build in the islands? what was the justification for doing what they were doing, and what did the u.s. do at that time? is it too late now for the u.s. to do anything? >> early on we heard silence from the chinese and the region. -- took over six months before anything knew what was happening. the chinese justification was a mixture of, these are necessary for the livelihoods of those stationed aboard it and then it was, well, they're for civilian benefits in the region. we're using search and rescue, for weather forecasting, storm warnings, for hadr. the same excuses made when the chinese first occupied the spratlys in 1998. and i they were not compelling to anybody in the region or the u.s. at the time. what we did, i think, was spend a year or so trying to figure out what the end game was, and by the time the u.s. realized how large and scaled this project was going to be, was too late to stop it. you can look at statement from pla officials saying they were surprised by how little pushback they got fro

and my question is very simple, seeing the land grab that we've had in the china sea. would china and its island building and that was going on back then. and my question is, why doesn't the u.s. toil an oil jacked up rick, it would cause them st. louis chaos from the psychological point of view and just operate 13 marines off it and a helicopter and to me they would tie up and make them the fortune by jet on watching this little outpost in the south china sea? >> not a bad idea. there are -- there is a whole range of things that the united states could do, but is not doing right now. and, you know, that one can certainly be considered. i don't see why not. but to give you, you know, just expand a little bit on that, the defensive taiwan is an area where this administration has improved over the record of its predecessor. but it's come this far. >> that leads between here and the ought side of the room. we're not doing that. there are all sorts of things that the administration could do if vice president pence's suggestion about a whole government approach to our not j

one relates to the ports and one to the south china seas. as far as the ports go have you discovered -- when we learned the chinese government or chinese companies controlled ports this is public information or do you have to dig it out and secondly if you analyze the ports that the chinese companies or government has leases or controls or owns there are certain characteristics of these ports that are common, for example, the part in haifa is near the submarine base so have you analyzed what the characteristics are of the ports the chinese have operations in and as far as the south china sea goes the questionnaire is what did the chinese announced as the reasons why they are doing what they are doing in the south china sea in what should the u.s. do to deter them doing more of it? >> i will take a swing at the first question. the concessions for ports and investments in the portfolio investments in ports are publicly available and a lot of cases it was through commercial data that we bought but essentially it is all in open sources and some

the south china sea is really up for grabs. i think the main thing the united states is missing is a clear policy on what we want in the south china sea as opposed to what we don't want. any official statement from the u.s. starts out that we do not take a position on the territorial disputes and we do not want anything to happen by force. what kind of a weak non-policy is that? we need to have a policy on what we do think is a fair adjudication of the conflicting territorial claims in that region. info on -- give how you build with your allies and with your friends. right now we send ships through their challenging everything. this could certainly be encouraged by the united states, japan, and other seafaring countries. , get someme hearings state department people here and ask what the policy is so we can tell our freedom of navigation program -- the big factor which we have not discussed here with a south asian belton road initiative, they sit right in the middle of it. recommend that you bring in the indian government if yo
