Today the East Asia and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee will consider the impact of recent and ongoing maritime territorial disputes in Asia, one of the most critical issues of strategic importance for the United States and for the entire Pacific region. Since World War II, our country has proved to be the essential guarantor of stability in this region, even as the power cycle shifted from Japan, to the Soviet Union, and most recently to China. Economically and politically, all of East Asia and the Pacific has benefited from the stability that has been made possible by our involvement in this region.
