What would those concessions be?
Trying to, I think, solidify the isolation against Taiwan's leadership and its polity to try to further push Taiwan out of international space.
So there's still some things, even in what I consider to be wrongheaded American policies, where, you know, we'll let
heads of, I think, some pretty bad regimes come through the United States, whether it's to attend the United Nations or to come for negotiations for other purposes, we pretty much block Taiwan's elected leadership, except for very rare occasion, from even being able to set foot in the United States.
And if they set foot in the United States, heaven forbid, they shall not enter the District of Columbia, because everyone knows that's where amazing things happen.
But yeah, so we play it.
It's ground zero for amazing things.
Yeah, exactly.
But we play these games and China would like us to cut that off.
They'd also like us to cut back on selling the turret capability to Taiwan.
And that still is an issue that remains in play.
The Trump administration has approved over $10 billion in military assistance to Taiwan, which they buy.
We don't give to them.
And there's a question of whether 10 plus billion more will be approved.
And that adds up to more than was approved in the two terms of Obama and one term of Biden.
So while there's sort of this question of whether Trump on Taiwan, this is still something that matters to China.
They'd like that spigot turned off.
Well, it's one of these things that I don't see as an either-or proposition.
I don't think economic reality sees as an either-or proposition, but it's, I think, settled in a somewhat balanced place.
The world's most leading manufacturers of the most advanced chips are in Taiwan.
