U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is traveling to Indonesia and Vietnam - two countries that have taken a bolder stance than others against China's territorial claims in the South China Sea. The trip comes as the Pentagon refocuses its priorities on what it calls the "great power competition" with China and Russia. More from VOA's Bill Gallo, who is traveling with the secretary.
