The PRC always prefers the gray zone hybrid, sort of unrestricted warfare tactics, of course, when it comes to Taiwan.
You know, I think if you follow, unfortunately, the donors' special interests, I think the fact that MAGA has become a very big tent movement, right?
A lot of big tech interests, which it's no secret that they just care about market access and profit.
And I don't think that their understanding of the Chinese Communist Party matters.
is the same as true MAGA in the same way that I think you saw that spat about H-1B visas and what it means to be an American citizen.
I don't really think that they view America as a country that needs to be defended against Chinese Communist Party economic warfare, which is what it is.
They're okay with inviting the PRC in if they can just make more profit.
But I do think, Mark, the other key point here, even if President Trump wanted to take the very harsh approach
that he did in Trump 1, at least prior to COVID, he doesn't have that luxury.
When you look at the rare earth and critical mineral shortages, not just because post-COVID, essentially under Biden, China launched a full-scale assault to industrially build up and take over, at least from a state-owned perspective, rare earths, not just the actual procurement.
of these rare earths, but the processing of it, right?
They own upwards of 90%.
It's a very large monopoly.
And we've seen them really use that, like President Trump calls the nuclear option.
So even if we want to do all these things on trade and Taiwan and send them weapons, which as we saw very recently, were just basically canceled because apparently now we ask our enemies what kind of weapons we can send to Taiwan.
The rare earths, I think, are a very strong cudgel that the PRC has that weren't as sharp
last time around.
So I think that's also a big shifter of Dynamics.
Well, of course.
And I think to even start back at square one, I don't think AI is overwhelmingly popular among the MAGA-based.
