what it shows is that after ten years of joining the trans pacific partnership u.s. gdp will only be about $80 billion higher, that is on a more than $21 trillion economy when we go out that far in the future. >> what about the notion we already have a relatively open economy, that it's really the united states trying to get into asian markets that is attractive about this. >> you have struck on the important point ray in we have a relatively open economy. this economy is not about free trade, it's rewriting the rules how the global economy is going to work. rules matters and markets are based on rules and who gets to participate in writing the rules is really important for who wins and who loses from such an agreement and what we've seen over the past five years is that the trans pacific partnership agreement has been written in secret behind closed doors with only the biggest, most powerful biggest lobbyist in the process. >> what do people need to know about the tpp? >> a little of what adam said, the deal is actually not so much about asia, of the 750 million peo

as pacific commander. i think you have a leader in north korea who has nuclear weapons and is seeking to deliver them intercontinentally. that causes me great concern. he has 20 to 30,000 artillery pieces within a range of seoul amounting to several hundred thousand rockets that place 28,000 american troops plus their families in a 700,000 american citizens who live on the korean pa sin sue la in danger. i view the threat very seriously. i think china's influence on north korea is waning. china doesn't have the influence on north korea that it had in the past. that's an area of concern. there are many areas globally where we cooperate with china. one of the areas in the past where we have received cooperation from china has been to mitigate the behavior in north korea. we're not seeing that today. that causes me great concern. >> one of the initiatives that we have with the chinese is not just checking their disregard for international law of the sea, but also re-engaging them to work together to face a ve

in its summary of the trans-pacific partnership the u.s. trade representative is seeking to apply som ally some of the fears. they do say that practices the fundamental labor rights such as association and right to collective bargaining will be honored. in vince such as vietnam they'll have to allow their workers to form unions. you have to keep in mind that the cost of labor in many of the countries in this agreement is far cheaper than the u.s. and it's inevitable that labor intensive jobs will gravitate to those areas especially now in this era that we have right now of currencies being so cheap against the dollar. we've had a wave of emerging market duvall ways on the heels of china's duvall ways, so that makes the cost of labor even lower. >> now let's talk about the environment. is this good or bad for the environment. >> this was an area of concern. the white house said that this will tighten environmental rules. in summary it's not terribly clear because the parties agree to enforce their environmental laws. even under international

in general, chile's pacific coast climate is much like north america's, but in reverse. here, it's the north that is mostly dry and brown, but as you move south to higher latitudes, the green color of this satellite photomosaic reveals an ecological zone with great potential for market-motivated exports. along chile's coast, south of santiago, are the small mountains known as the coastal range. this region is the center of chile's booming forest products sector. the most common tree here now is the radiata, or monterey pine, imported from california 30 years ago. under the right conditions, radiata pines are the fastest growing trees in the world, because unlike other trees, they continue to grow all year round. they like it damp, and they won't grow where it is too hot or too cold. that leaves out most places. but with much ideal habitat, chile's south-central coast is now the world's largest producer. by 2000, chile harvested more than 20 million cubic meters of radiata for construction lumber and for wood pulp to me cellulose. japan and other asian countries are the b

what i've told the component commanders at pacific fleet and pacific air force is to tell their pilots and crews to do, is to continue to insist on our right to operate in international airspace and in the maritime space. when challenged by chinese fighter aircraft, our aircraft are to maintain professional flight profiles, predictable flight profiles, and we have means to record that activity, and then we'll see what happens. the last time we saw a very dangerous event was in the middle of last year where the chinese flew an aircraft over a p-8 and did a barrel roll over the top which is a dangerous maneuver, in acrobatic circles, let alone in an intercept regime in open ocean. and we most recently have seen that again, but i'll give the system credit for that intervening period of time we've seen very few dangerous activities by the chinese following that august 2014 incident. and i think that's a tribute to the military relationship and the political relationship where we've worked with the chinese to come to an agreement on the maritime and in the airspaces for confidence-building
