or production of 50 percent of which are she takes place in taiwan making it as sent a piece of global supply chains and also vital for china's export industries. and china too is not determined to let itself be harmed by this. and what we've seen is the u. s. portraying this as routine which it isn't as somebody that high level is speak of the house that kind of visit is 25 years ago. and while at china, them saying that this is a provocation. when really what nancy pelosi is saying is every affirmation of pledges, the u. s. has actually enshrined in a law which is that the united states in 1979 committed itself to supply goods, military goods, and the capability for taiwan to be able to guarantee its own security. so and on paper, nothing new there a but a ria formation of those old pledges. the scene is such
