And that's my assessment of what we would see in the next week.

So if we see him, we're going to see this continuity towards his agenda of this global domination.

Right.

I mean, clearly as you described it, Xi is, is more red than any other, uh, a paramount leader that China's had in its history since Mao.

And, uh, he has pushed through, uh, you know, uh,

kind of a top-down control of the economy that, you know, Deng and Hu didn't have.

I mean, he has been pushing for the state-owned enterprises and the control of the economy, centralized control and the importance of these five-year plans.

And he is now in a position to where he's also in charge of the PLA and he's been in charge of the PLA and he's inclined to use the PLA much more often.

I mean, as we talk about in the military arena,

The Chinese military aircraft, jet aircraft, never crossed the center line between the mainland and Taiwan.

They did it four times in 60 years.

And after 2020, they're doing it hundreds of times a year.

So there's a party unity that he's bringing where it's very much...

you know, centrally controlled, going to achieve the great rejuvenation of China, which is his phrase.

We're going to have the great rejuvenation of China.

We're going to make China this global power, and we're going to replace the United States.

So we're going to attack on all fronts.

They call it comprehensive national power.

We're going to go after economic reforms or economic power through the way we run the Belt and Road Initiative.

We're going to do what they just did with these tariffs on rare earth elements.
