Oh say, can you see
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Through the perilous fight
Over the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does--
- I pity a country that
would come up against us.
The synergy with air, land, and sea forces
and our ability to
control the battle space
and seize the high ground is devastating.
All countries respect the
power of the United States
and they respect how dominant
we are in this region.
And we get better and better and better.
(drums pounding)
- Tonight to ten,
a rare glimpse of China's
ambitious expansion
in one of the world's
most contested regions.
We report from the South China Sea,
where the Chinese are warning off anyone
who comes too close to
their building program.
- We continue our look this morning
at what China does not want you to see.
The United States says the superpower
is reclaiming land in the South China Sea.
- The fact that we're dealing
with a situation right now
where we, the US, has to
be much more aggressive
in dealing with the Chinese government.
- CNN has learned that the US Navy
is about to send a destroyer there.
Let's go to our CNN chief--
- [Announcer] CNN got
exclusive access to classified
US surveillance flights over the islands.
- [John Narrating] The threat
of China is becoming big news.
The media is beating the drums of war
as the world is being
primed to regard China
as a new enemy.
- [Announcer] China's alarming creation of
entirely new territory
in the South China Sea
is one part of a broader military push
that some fear is to challenge
US dominance in the region.
- [John Narrating] China
is building airstrips
in the South China Sea on disputed islands
condemned by an international tribunal.
This is now a flashpoint for war
between China and America.
What is not news is that
China itself is under threat.
These American bases form a giant noose,
encircling China with
missiles, bombers, warships.
All the way from Australia
through the Pacific,
to Asia, and beyond.
- If you were in Beijing looking out,
you stood on the tallest
building in Beijing
and looked out at the Pacific Ocean,
you'd see American warships.
You'd see Guam is about to sink
because there's so many
missiles pointed at China.
You'd look up at Korea and see
American armaments pointing at China.
You'd see Japan, which is basically,
Japan's a glove over the American fist.
I think if I was Chinese, I'd
have a little to worry about
about American aggressiveness.
- And we have China surrounded
and we're doing more
all the time to try and
keep it surrounded and deepen
that containment of China.
But China presents a fascinating case
of a country that is independent,
doesn't have foreign
bases on its territory,
growing very rapidly,
not as rapidly now as it did for 30 years,
but still the second-ranking
economy in the world.
