it sets our strategic position again at the pacific. we have plenty of aircraft and they are concentrated with a small number of airbases. china has invested its weapons and sensors undercutting our airpower. what else do we have? we have carrier strike groups but it's not clear how they will help us to stop the chinese invasion pre-china has built up defenses designed to neutralize and keep them so far were that they won't be useful. we have an undersea advantage that is true but we only have so many submarines and we only have so many weapons to fire and only so many places to reload or refit them. we are all start risk ourselves is forces in guam. one is not well defended against china to say nothing of china's special operations forces. i haven't even mentioned china's nuclear arsenal which is always looming in the background. meanwhile our own military architecture in space as dangerously vulnerable and the resistance forces are already overstretched. given all of that let's assume for a moment that the worst happens, china and age

this is the engagement that the biden administration is bringing to the indo pacific. i think that one key aspect of indo pacific and that it reflects the engagement that is responsive to the challenges that we are facing today and hearing from our partners. in 2020 the economic reality is a different from the way it was five or seven years ago. right now, the consistent theme that you were here for me is building out our economy, building economic engagement that is building and creating resilience and sustainability. that is what we are hearing from our partners. we know that we have tools to promote these goals. we also know that over the course of the past few years, we have seen the supply chain for kuwaiti, we have seen a increase in geopolitical pressure. i do not know i am properly giving the credit to toby lincoln. i am always happy to give him credit. when asked about our overall indo pacific strategy, we are not coming with a economic engagement or a general engagement strategy that is requiring our partners to choose. what we are doing is bringing our partn

let's assess our strategic position in the pacific. we have aircraft, but they are concentrated at a small number of airbases. china has invested in weapons and sensors that we undercut our airpower advantage. we have carrier strike groups, but it is not clear how they are going to help us defeat and invasion beard china has buildup defenses designed to neutralize them early. we have an undersea advantage. but we only have so many submarines, so many weapons to fire from them, so many places to reload. we are at risk, especially our forces in guam. it is not well defended against china's missiles were special operations forces. i haven't even mentioned china's nuclear arsenal which is always looming. our own military architecture and space hasn't it -- is vulnerable and our logistics forces are overstretched. let's assume that the worst happens, china invades and seizes taiwan, and the aisle is lost. what would that mean for us? nothing good. if china conquers taiwan, xi will view it as a historical victory, a dawn of chinese history.
