Here's John Batchelor.

I welcome Grant Nusham, United States Marine Corps retired, author of When China Attacks, Traveling,

to comment on headline in the New York Times in these hours.

HegSest seeks to reassure allies on first official trip to Asia.

At its first stop in the Philippines goes to subhead, the U.S. Defense Secretary promised

to strengthen deterrence against Chinese, in quote, threats in the region.

He also plans to visit Japan.

Therein lies the essay that Grant has posted.

It anticipates that visit to Japan. Grant, a very good evening to you. We've talked often

of what Japan needs and what Japan thinks about its position in the constellation of countries in Asia, either threatened by China or eager

to contain China's aggression. Japan is the moment. And there's a new prime minister,

and there are promises made over these last year or more during the Biden administration.

So you have a to-do list for the secretary.

What is important for him as he arrives in Japan?

Good evening to you.

Well, good evening, John.
