china next show of course will just be a drill in chung as an associate professor at the national university of singapore . and earlier i asked him about what these drills demonstrate about china's preparedness to potentially strike taiwan. so these drills they demonstrate, again, china's ability to mount different kinds of operations. this includes potentially blockade. this potentially includes airstrikes, muscle strikes, so on and so forth. but i guess it's not going to mentally different from what the p r c has been doing over the past few years. it's more concentrated, but the nature of what it's doing is pretty much the same. so in the sense, i think there's a lot of normalization already actually on time one towards attraction. now let's zoom out a little bit. taiwan has condemned china for undermining peace and stability in the region. how worried are other nearby countries about a military escalation? so i think many nearby countries are worried they're increasingly worried. japan certainly is because the challenges some of his territory, the last round of missile exercises from august. some of

at the nearby national university of singapore, they�*re using magnets to produce these so—called growthon that cell—based meat is so expensive is because the factors they have to add back to make the muscle grow in a dish. you know, if i�*m able to produce for you a hamburger but you have to pay six times more for it, you probably will actually opt for an animal—based product, right? so we have taken a large part of the cost out of actually ultimately producing cell—based meat. we have taken it out. whereas, fetal bovine serum comes at a good price so we�*re able to reduce it into a range that most people can probably afford. but making cultivated meat as affordable as normal meat doesn�*t guarantee that people will accept it. if you look across history, for example, humanity has embraced many foods that were unnatural to begin with. think yoghurt — really took off in 1900 because of the production of bacteria, lactobacillus. now we know, yoghurt is seen in every corner of the world, every supermarket shelf. i think about that same analogy for cultivated meat. the company that solves th
