policy in japan. and the example i want to talk about was one of the most controversial moments of the u.s. occupation, namely the united states' decision to rearm japan. now, in june of 1950 the korean war began when north korea invaded south korea. this was very shocking and very scary to many, including u.s. policymakers who feared that northeast asia was under imminent threat of communist domination, that japan would be left alone in northeast asia. with u.s. soldiers leaving occupied japan to fight in korea the u.s. occupation authorities ordered the japanese government to create a defensive force called the national police reserve to ensure japanese security. the npr would go through several different iterations but it was the foundation of japan's current military. throughout the war american policymakers had repeatedly and openly blamed japan's military leaders and japanese militarism more broadly for causing world war ii in the pacific. some of the most important documents that laid out the g

japan japan hasspecially as evolved into a trusted partner and security partner for numerous countries in south and southeast asia. the bilateral alliance with both of these countries is important to us and the important trilateral cooperation has allowed our countries to take on the most challenging national security issues since world war ii. from the challenges presented by the soviet union during the cold war to the threat posed by north korea to the emerging challenges that china presents as a global competitor. to speak a bit about the rok and japan relationship, if you just looked at a map you would certainly understand the current security environment should make japan and south korea natural partners. they have shared values and are committed to a free and open border in the indo pacific based on a rules-based international order. both countries understand the long-term risks of a rising china and a china that is by leading international norms on cyber, stealing intellectual aggressively and modernizing their military while trying to change their geopolitical status by coal or

-japan joint statement on september 26. by now, we successfully have reached consensus with regard to the corn element of both the agricultural and industrial products, and i certainly welcome this development. >> [speaking japanese] >> mr. president has pointed out next month at the end of september, both of us are going to attend the un's general assembly, and on that occasion, we will have the bilateral summit meeting and we would like to set the goal of signing this japan-u.s. trade agreement and seizing that opportunity. we still have some remaining work that has to be done at the working level, namely finalizing the wording of the trade agreement and also finalizing the content of the agreement. but we would like to make sure that our team will accelerate the remaining work, so as to achieve this goal, reaching the signing of this agreement at the general assembly at the end of september. >> [speaking japanese] >> and i am very happy that both of our teams have been working on this specific issue in a win-win manner,

japan. how vulnerable does that make south korea 7 — japan. how vulnerable does that make south korea? — — the south korean foreign minister. foreign minister kang kyung—wha in beijing, will come to heart talk. thank you very much for having me. we have to start because you are in beijing and if you had meetings with both the chinese and japanese foreign ministers, we have to start with a troubled relationship with japan. the birds of my financial times editorial says that the world has been fixated on donald trump financial war but a new ball is waging between south korea and japan. i haven't seen that article and the issue of trade with japan has, quite unexpectedly and in a very unilateral and arbitrary manner on the part ofjapan. we are prepared to discuss what the issue is and keep these as a trade issue but i think the steps that they have taken have but i think the steps that they have ta ken have caused but i think the steps that they have taken have caused a great deal of problems for our industries and i think we want very much

[applause] mr. schriver: thank you, victor. thank you, csis. it is always good to return here and be here but particularly when speaking of these because csis has done so much quality work on the a

and japan? recognizing that we will not have a process like nato necessarily. >> as we are working through exercises, we can see that first there would have to be an integration that connects the japan air self-defense force and its aircraft, the full fleet, to the ground self-defense force. if japan is to secure within its own archipelago or maneuver within its own archipelago to defend japan or respond to a crisis within the archipelago, greater situational awareness is important and many of these new generation aircraft and weapons systems have these capabilities built in. but are they built to connect to another domain? and so we see that as a very important part of the design. and i'm confident japan will take that on as they think through their own approaches. -- approaches to improving joined us and joint interoperability. when you get to the alliance part, there is an added complexity, because that is hard enough, finding ways to move awareness from one domain into another, and making su

follow japan has decided to remove south korea from a list of its favored trade partners a so-called white list of countries that enjoy a minimum trade restrictions foreign ministers from the 2 sides had met on the sidelines of the as the end summit on thursday in an attempt to tamp down the tensions tokyo had earlier restricted the export of key materials used in smartphone components to seoul japanese officials accuse south korea of failing to control the export of sensitive materials to north korea the round was sparked by a world war era dispute with south korea demanding compensation for victims of forced labor under japanese occupation. rob mcbride is standing by for us with reaction from seoul but 1st let's speak to sandy selami in tokyo to tell us more about why japan has decided to do this and why now. ok. this is when expected the decision by the japanese government today the government ministers they had a meeting with the prime minister and they have officially. decided that south korea should be removed from the white please at least that has more than 20 countries which

japan ratified the convention. it went into force 5 years ago but chapin hasn't been complying with it. shuji is who she of the ministry of foreign affairs says they have good reason. must. goal is to have the parent with whom the child is living to comply with the court ruling voluntarily. this is also a matter of the child's welfare. was voluntary compliance that's a little bit wishful thinking here and could hardly be blamed for feeling angry. thus with a spring in anger would get me nowhere as i feel helpless helpless because of my children of the moment and. his children have vanished and has no idea if they're well or happy. and brought reams of documents with him including the verdict granting him sole custody. of direct enforcement of compulsory return of the children is supposed to take place the following day. and has a meeting with the bailiff and his lawyer were not permitted to accompany him. he returns 2 and a half hours later. my 9 my impression was that the main topic today was japan's image not ret

i think most people in japan agree korea-japan relationship is critical important for korea-japan, stability of the region and also united states. number two, that is a series state that we need to do something. as admiral kawano said there's a gap between the two countries. number three, if you don't do anything, it will take offense of it. having said that, it looks like korea and japan have delisted they can solve this on their own. did you discuss any possible role for the united states to better the relationship between korea and japan? japanese have been i think frustrated to the extent that they have been basically asking americans for some time to play a role. the situation has come to the point where we witness today. so is there any role that the united states can play, and did you discuss a possibility of united states plate in mediation role? thank you very much. >> i think, fundamentally, this is a situation that koreans and japanese have to resolve. we have an incredibly strong relationship with both countries, so i have obviously not been involved, but i guess i'm comfortable

secretary japan. i first met mark when he was in tokyo and neither one of us would want to admit to it any of numbers is not to say that he can't keep a job that his expertise on so many areas have been recognized. he has served multiple positions in tokyo acting director for indian affairs he was a deputy chief of mission. he is twice worked in north korea and to the spent fuel team and then the advance team for the secretary of state all right. is been a recipient of a number of awards distinguished service award that is the highest of manic water. graduate of university of tokyo, the intensive japanese program mark when i was at the national war college in the day of athletics not that i'm still bitter but if that wasn't enough to be envious excuse me korean japanese we are very honored to have now providing opening remarks. mark please.

and japan? >> that is a focus of my attention as commander. the space is more concentrated in the middle east, but cars a joint approach. i found that to be the case certainly as well in the pacific if not more so and how does highlight a couple reasons why it is important. that is a decided advantage for the u.s. and its allies to operate in a joint context. that may change over time and we find potential adversaries like the people's liberation army are pursuing joint miss in their own way. we need to do it because that is how we operate. secondly, when we think about interdependencies of their capabilities, we would be full is to go with anyone of them, so whether it is recognizing the chains, the part thehe pacific is the all of .rchipelago's there are pieces of ground separated by water. we are talking about populations here and also find it on the landmass, many countries dominated militarily by their having a relationship with those leaders is critically important. we want to think about

does japan really want u.s. innovation at this point and what does japan really want at the end of all this? >> what does japan want in the end of all this? on this, this current issue or more broadly on u.s.-south korea relation? i mean japan-south korea relation because my answer would be very different. overall? overall, i think japanese government just what he wants south korean government to uphold what scott described, the basis of the normalization treaty stay in fact, honoring all the government to government agreement that two countries have signed. do not walk it back. and especially 2015 agreement so that was why i think the dismantlement of the foundation was really, did send a strong message to tokyo that we cannot work with this government. but does japan not want south korea as a partner? no. japan wants south korean to be a partner. and that i think the two countries should be a partner. they are actually more regional and global concerns in common that they defer. but i think that, i'll refer ba

with would keep it in terms of limited to japan or japan connected or japan related shipping so it's hard but i think there is information, they could share information. it might not be able to actively coordinate together or work or operate together for legal reasons but there's ways to build confidence, we run a very low level of trust in mutual confidence right now . and i think whether it's through expedited processing of these exports licenses. that's a way to, japan could just move these things relatively smoothly out the door and it's not that big of an economic impact and that's one way to build and if there's reciprocal moves on both sides, and then collaboration and other multilateral venues, there are ways to rebuild some of the damage it's been done. >> is mark fitzpatrick. in addition to the risks to the broader us objectives and interests patrick was mentioning, is there any danger specifically to bilateral alliances by the united states, not being seen today a stronger mediation rule? >> when national security adviser john bolton went out to the region, he was going to

i'm japan native, u.s. citizen. by the way, matt, i read your article a couple days ago and i liked what i read, just to let you know. what jim said is right. this is beyond just a trade dispute. history is involved. but i want to share my experience when i was in orange county, california, -- >> please keep it to a question. >> i will. 2012, 2014, the early elections -- >> biggest and is about to gavel and so we believe this discussion for a moment and take you live to the senate floor,

or in japan. the japanese bureaucrats that work to drop these laws were looking at the anti-subversive laws like the mccarran act that were written in the united states and looking at anti- subversive laws being written in australia. another thing i wanted to do was pink more fully about this kind of concept of anti-communism that is crossing boundaries in this time period. so, to go back to the historical context, i don't know if i am contesting it so much as im deep in and complicate our understanding of this reverse course moment specifically in the u.s./japanese relationship. and kind of pushback that democracy did not matter in this relationship after the first two years of the occupation. what the book does, is traces this all the way up to the 1960s, and looks at issues like the transition from world war ii cold war, npr, peace treaty, it also looks at how japanese ideas about democracy shape is 52 chapters about anti-base protest and protest against the u.s. japanese security and finally i

when the trade deals get done like we did with japan yesterday, we did a tremendous trade deal with japan and we have others coming and we're negotiating now in earnest with the european union they want to do that, they want to do that and i do, too. when we get these deals done, our country will be transformed. it will be monetarily transformed, such a difference between the horrible, horrible, one-sided deals in the past and frankly, past administrations should be ashamed of themselves for allowing that, but we have many of them, one of them is the u.s. mca, u.s., mexico, canada and hopefully loaded on quickly and everybody wants it to happen. hopefully we can make it a bipartisan bill and we have trade deals doing well, including china and i think it's necessary to go through this, you would say a rough patch, but i'd say maybe much more than a rough patch, but that's okay because we've been paying billions and billions of dollars and we know that prices haven't gone up, no inflation and put money in the treasure. tens of billions and i've given a lot to the farmers that were hurt and

or japan connected or japan related shipping. so it's hard but i think there's information -- they could share information. they could might not be able to actively coordinate together a work or operate together for legal reasons, but there's ways to build confidence. we are in a very low level of trust in mutual confidence right now, and i think whether it's through expedited processing of these export licenses. that's a way, japan could just move these things relatively smoothly out the door and gee, it's not that big of an economic impact and that's one way to build. if there's reciprocal moves on both sides and then cooperation and other multilateral venues, there ways to rebuild some of the damage that's been done. >> in addition to the risks to the broader use objectives and enters patrick was mentioning i am and one it is any danger specifically to bilateral alliances by the united states not being seen to take a stronger mediation role? when national security adviser john bolton went out to the region, there was press rep

such koreans no longer consider japan a friendly nation one official warned seoul says japan is retaliating against south korean court rulings last year. these ordered japanese companies to compensate korean plaintiffs for their wartime labor during japan's brutal colonise ation of the korean peninsula between 190-1905. japan points to an erosion of trust since the south korea rulings and claims the export controls are for national security purposes. one thing that all citizens have in common is a passport much like this one it's getting easier for wealthy foreign investors mainly but not only russians to buy themselves a u.s. citizenship in the form of a so-called golden passport and the place to do that is cyprus. cyprus is booming again and its 2013 financial crisis seems all but forgotten. the island's real estate market is thriving with the rows of expensive new high rises in the port town of limits so. many russians are buying them today they make up about a quarter of a limb of souls total population. but why is that. where all because investing at least 2000000 euros in cypriot real

japan says thatis for the court orders. japan says that is simply not true. but the pain won'tjust be felt here. it could revel through global tech supply chains. which may force the us to step in to try to solve this viewed before it escalates further. well, we have heard what south korea thinks, but what about japan? well, we have heard what south korea thinks, but what aboutjapan? i asked jeff kingston, the director of asian studies at temple university, if tokyo had a point that all the claims were settled with a treaty in 1965. yes, i think it does have a point, but i think this is a dangerous road to travel down. i think that abe is sort of pulling a mini trump here, and he is trying to use the cudgel of trade to get his way on other issues. so these two frenemies have been bickering about history for decades, and i don't expect that to end anytime soon, but by invoking trade restrictions, i think that abe is not only undermining his position asa is not only undermining his position as a champion of free trade, but he is also going to cause a lot of pai
