american community teaming up with the white community on this very issue because the asian american is being denied equal access to the universities even if their scores are off the charts even if they've shown to be very meritorious so they're understandably very angry about this and the trumpet ministrations thrown has their weight behind this trump administration is so interested in this is isn't the obvious playing to their base. no i actually think it's ironic this kind of shows trump as a man who braces competition he embraces excellence see embraces the hard work ethic you know this is definitely not a race issue so all the all those people who claim that trump is a you know he's racist or a race baiter whatever the case may be this is this is just right in their face he's actually getting behind the asian american community in this on this issue because he's showing that this is not about race this is about rot natural talent to make america great again and the bottom line is if that means that. the racial results will not be to everyone's liking will so be it it's all about

and china drops how might that affect other asian countries. well i think it's very problematic for companies here in asia because they're very tightly connected through supply chains so as an example one of the products that's on the list for tariff increases are boats you know recreational boats and so forth but a lot of the parts and components in a boat or railway cars or some of these big heavy machinery products that are on the list are manufactured or created across asia you know the seat belts the seats dashboards the steering wheels all of those things can be made by even small companies across asia and those are now affected by this tariff increase so as we imagine this to be between the u.s. and china it's not really just between the u.s. and china it's increasingly between global supply chains and global supply chains and a lots of collateral damage is going to result given what you said then one wonders whether they'll be the next logical thing impacts on the flow of capital investment into asia as a whole i think it's possible i m
