Palau recognizes Taiwan.
So um the Taiwanese foreign minister is here.
This drives Beijing crazy.
Uh the president of Palau put on the record uh two days ago that he was personally threatened uh by Chen Bo, who's the Chinese uh representative for the Pacific Islands, with retaliation if the Taiwanese would attend.
Um, he's a very strong, courageous leader.
There's some amazing uh people here showing the kind of guts that actually we really need in Washington and elsewhere.
And uh he basically said, Hey, it's my country.
You know, we're gonna do what is good for our country.
And he stood up to them.
But the Chinese have been playing every single card they have.
Five leaders are not coming.
including from countries that are very closely aligned to China.
Uh one who who came and then immediately had to go on a plane to get back was the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands because the new government Solomon Islands have been trying to free their country.
And remember Solomon Islands is where Guadalcanal was fought.
From uh Chinese grips.
And so um suddenly out of nowhere, a vote of no confidence uh was mooted in Solomon Islands and he had to rush back.
Uh so last night uh at the opening ceremony, there was um handover from the Solomon Islands who hosted the Pacific Island Forum meeting last year.
To the new Palau uh chairman ship.
And the the speech was made by the foreign minister, not the prime minister of Solomon Islands.
And it was a very powerful and emotional speech.
