And I mean, the opposition view actually has some truth to it because the CCP does want a war there.
But what they don't want is... Trump basically changed the game when he launched his counter blockade because Iran blockaded it.
They were effectively just strangling off the rest of the world's economy.
They were still letting the Chinese, you know, oil and stuff through.
So China was not really impacted so much by that until Trump blockaded it as well.
And so Trump now, by doing that, is kind of forcing them to the negotiating table.
On the point you made, the Chinese Communist Party actually does have a plan.
They have a five-part war plan that does, in fact, involve starting a war in the Middle East, especially with terrorist groups.
And Iran was going to be a key part of that.
They do want to have a war, but not one that impacts them.
Trump, more than anything, wants rare earth elements.
We need a lot of the materials coming from China.
They know that they have a stranglehold on that.
That's going to be on Trump's side, the main thing he wants.
China basically wants sanction relief and they want tariffs to end.
And, you know, the reality is with a lot of the at least the tariffs, it is possible that when Trump leaves office, those will go away anyways.
They might want to just hunker down and so on.
Also on the table is going to be Russia.
China is, of course, at least according to NATO and according to the U.N., the Chinese Communist Party is the U.N., of course, helicopter by China, but still.
China is, of course, the main enabling force on Russia's side with that war.
