Is there a lot of appetite now from U.S.-based investors to participate by giving that capital to Chinese companies right now in order to do...

You know, realize their ambition.

Right.

You know, I've been reading up, of course, and I understand your history.

You guys have been doing business in China a very long time.

You guys took the big banks public back 20 plus years ago.

So, I mean, you're headed there, my understanding, after here.

You're going to China, of course, to speak with...

regulators, what have you.

What's your long-term vision for the franchise in greater China?

What do you want your franchise to become longer?

You mentioned... How would you describe the current environment for deals going into next year?

Because I remember just sitting here this time last year, and we were going into 2025.

There was a U.S.

election.

We weren't sure where the guardrails were going to be.

Looking at next year, I was just speaking with Yvonne.

I can't seem to think about... Think of a major risk, apart from, I guess, fraud evaluation.

We can talk about that later.

But what's your sense of the environment right now and what risks we have to consider?
