Japan has approved a bill changing the status of a disputed island chain thats also claimed by china and taiwan now the move is expected to further inflame tensions in the region ahead of the vote china had warned against any changes in the status of the islands well earlier this week japan filed a diplomatic complaint to beijing over the constant presence of chinese warships in the region the uninhabited island chain has been administered by. Pan since 1972 the islands are known as the sink karkare in japan and known as the day you in china both say they have claims dating back hundreds of years grandma webb is there a search fellow at the institute for defense and strategic studies at the Nanyang Technological University in singapore joins us again on skype could have you with us again on the program how important to move is this by the japanese in terms of them stamping their all thorough yet again on this island chain. Its a critical will either the japanese are going to start being one because of what we did enjoy over the last few years is a stalemate of sorts or which of them war side effects are the contest all. These islands but things are coming your way here for 2 reasons number one i think what has driven the japanese government. To be a little bit of made a decision to move lot of its the only is because our china as. Well which are getting more shut are simply because china is behaving in the perception of the japanese government more in a more bell it causes more certain now and were seeing signals of our not just in the East China Sea but also in all by recent developments in the South China Sea you know whats also come up with here is the ongoing dispute between our india and china getting a lot of conservative japanese government that the chinese are group or rather big drug article which indeed they have been going for both of our time pushing a geographical push certainly at the these past several years why strategically are these islands so important to china because also taiwan is claiming them to. Absolutely well there are no tangible arguments to be are the better you will be we know there are Significant Oil and gas deposits fishing starts and fishing spots in particular are affected by the presence of chinese our Fishing Vessels and japanese ones out there fishing in these areas and also all our chinese. Crossing over that the median line that separates one japanese a territory and china so it. Has been established but i think it goes a lot more deeper. Respect to the historical consciousness are those of the lore these islands in terms of chinese 11 hand in japanese and this is where it becomes extremely sticky because were looking at the chinese side of east growing nationalism where the chinese public has significant expectation of the Chinese Government to do a little aunties are what territorial offices the consolidation of or chinese are great power and sought the Chinese CommunistParty Pressure to deliver on sort of our weekly aiming or our territories that its lost it belongs to exactly when each and people and so i think this is backed by a more sort that more confident more people Chinese Military and were seeing this reflected by this ongoing. Chinese patrols which are clearly creating a lot of perturbation from our servants of the. Game one of the other issues i suppose really you know despite all of the sort of to ing and fro ing were seeing between japan and china as a to punish we might have some tacit support because weve been seeing pushback certainly from countries like the philippines and vietnam when it comes to the South China Sea as you mentioned and china is sort of expansionist to dream japan falls into that group and therefore if more countries in the region move regionally against china is china in a mind set to think twice about the way its behaving in the South China Sea and to find a sort of a happy medium is that even a remote possibility. Thats a good question. Of what we call the chinese think again are some of the or which others that is made up for the last couple of months are i mean right now or just on the japanese side are they are getting an affirmation from the behavior of other neighboring countries in terms of the pushback and charges or japan its a few a lot of them in this and strength in numbers of supporters and you know but what i think china is in are its probably in a very difficult position back in the former life that its not our compromising and stepping back from some of these overtures would be a sign of weakness and possibly hard to square off the chinese or so i think many observers are a sort of there are the there the Chinese Government has not thought what was this this and or spots and numbers are growing chinese nationals and just difficult to hold back again and to move and drop and so the Chinese Government is has to pursue or a hard line position on many of these matters that the concern now is that this will come of it in terms of a conflict an inadvertent escalation in the East China Sea or tense because of the growing activity of a military medieval and also watch for shipping activity and sort of abilities i think. Is really are we going risk of a particular of war in over the next few months ago i will say what does happen at the moment graham a weapon in singapore thanks very much for joining us sir.

President s Campaign Staff tested positive for corona virus before the gathering began and ahead of his book release former National Security adviser john bolton repeated his allegation that the president is more focused on reelection than Public Health mike hanna reports. After a federal court ruled his books publication could go ahead john bolton was once again in the spotlight. The former National Security advisers book will be released to the general public on tuesday among the many statements critical of his former boss that obstruction of justice is a way d of life in the white house a view he says was shared with others in the president s inner circle look these were things that i could see some evidence of and they bothered me greatly members on both sides of the aisle in congress remain shoppy critical of bolton who is refusal to give evidence in impeachment proceedings and his apparent willingness to profit from his criticism of john bolton is a political opportunist any profiteer he had the opportunity to step forward and participate in the house impeachment inquiry and share any information that he had about wrongdoing by President Trump and other members of his administration and he declined the problem is that when youre selling a book youre not putting yourself in a position to be crossexamined so for 2995 you can monetize as National Security clearance but under oath he would have an opportunity to answer questions and not just make assertions the white house has made clear it is contemplating civil or criminal charges against bolton but apparently unruffled by this threat he continued to lash out at President Trump i dont think hes fit for office and i dont think he has the competence to carry out the job there really isnt any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than whats good for Donald Trumps reelection other critics point to the president s decision to go ahead to the Campaign Rally in tulsa as evidence of his willingness to put people at risk in advancing his political agenda is supporters in oklahoma entered through scanners and temperatures were taken but you wore mosques in accordance with Government Health guidelines including children.
