Yeah, story as old as time in terms of China trying to take intellectual property from other companies because they're not able to be as sophisticated as us in developing things just because of the way their economy is structured.
But even though we've had those restrictions on the NVIDIA chips since I think even Biden put those restrictions in, they still found their way over there.
I think that we need to be much stronger on China.
And I mean, that's why things like the tariffs are important.
That's why I mean, any measures are important in terms of being able to inflict pain on them because they they are trying to undercut our companies.
And when it comes to something like anthropic, that's becoming a potentially major part of, you know, defense and national security.
That's not just an economic matter.
It's not just a business matter.
It's a matter of national protection.
So.
I think that's like all the more reason to not let China have access to the Blackwell chips like they're lobbying for.
Like I feel that Trump is contemplating it.
I feel that people are in his ear telling him, oh, maybe it wouldn't be so bad because he like they're going to try and take alternate routes and develop their own stuff.
And it might motivate them to make their own version of these chips instead of using ours.
But no, I think that we could double down on what we're doing with not letting them have that.
Kenneth, your thoughts.
Yeah, more or less, but I don't know.
I think part of it is that we have given too much leeway to China.
The same thing happened with Russia, too.
We give a dose of assistance to these countries, and we turn them into a monster that actually has the power to take from us.
