Now they have a 99-year lease, the Chinese, on this port.

It's called Hambantota.

The list goes on, but this is what makes them very unpopular.

And they're also just, as Eric mentioned, not very nice.

And they don't treat people with the same levels of decency that we would.

Look again, nobody's perfect.

Look, I'm not an expert in European politics, but –

Something struck me recently.

I saw a map of a recent French election and Marianne Le Pen, it's like the entire country is hers voting wise, except for small isolated pockets like Paris.

Paris, Marseille, Toulon.

And it reminds me of the electoral map of California, right?

It's a giant red state with deep blue San Francisco, deep blue Los Angeles, et cetera.

So whether or not

we are popular or unpopular in Europe, I don't know.

The headline is that we're not, but the reality, I don't know.

Here's another quote for you.

This is Xi Jinping's New Year address.

As compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits are one family, no one can sever our bloodline affinity, and no one can block the historical momentum of the unification of the motherland.

Look, there are, I don't know how many different ways they can say this, but they want to take Taiwan.

And Eric mentioned earlier that Xi Jinping got a third term and he's gonna be emperor for life.
