What makes America so great is that it tolerates choice.
instability.
It tolerates clashes.
It tolerates volatility.
Think about the financial crisis, right?
The financial volatility.
Again, the U.S.
dollar is where it is because of this deep, liquid financial system in the U.S.
that no other country has managed to build.
There are clashes everywhere in society, but it is a very diverse country with all the benefits to that.
It is a highly, highly unequal country, economically speaking.
The CEO pays, the businessmen being able to be in top political positions, you don't
You kind of balk at that level of cronyism, if you will.
But, you know, the U.S.
is the technological leadership, and it kind of is able to stomach that volatility and clash without breaking apart.
And other countries don't have the capacity, the institutions, the culture to be able to tolerate and still maintain, keep the society together.
So I think it is a very interesting, but yeah, it's a puzzle.
Taiwan has, among other things, TSMC, which is vitally important for the global economy.
It's also very important for the Chinese leadership and the Chinese people.
You don't want to ask what I think.
