| 0:00.0 | This is CBS I on the World. I'm John Batch with my colleague Grant Nushe, |

| 0:11.3 | Islands, the first island chain to Taiwan. That is the potential battlefield for a China |
| 0:18.1 | aggressor, kinetic aggressor. However, there are other kinds of aggression |
| 0:23.2 | by the People's Republic of China. I mentioned in the news in these last days, seven Chinese |
