There is, they're trying to bring down this incredibly courageous government.
Um, you know, we we talk a lot, we know the Chinese playbook.
We and you can see it very clearly in the Pacific Islands.
The question is, can we put together a playbook on how to counter that?
And you can also do that in the Pacific Islands because the levers are so clear on the Chinese side, it should be clear how to counter that.

And at that meeting he requested, put it mildly, that Palau not invite Taiwan to attend this meeting, the Pacific Island Forum meeting.
And when the president of Palau, President Serengle Whips Junior, who has family in Baltimore, uh said no.
