Randy Forbes: “I believe that we can inject enough doubts into the minds of China's leaders about its use in the scenarios we worry…”

I think reasonable people can have different views on it. My perspective is that the benefits of the Law of the Sea Convention do outweigh any sort of perceived risks.

In the coming decades, this is the region where the largest armies in the world will camp.

The security issues presented with North Korea and the entire Inda-Asia-Pacific region will continue to require more attention and resources from the United States.

I believe, if we are to maintain our credibility in the region, if we are to sustain confidence in the rebalance to Asia, that it is extremely important for the Trans-Pacific Partnership to be ratified.
