okay, how about in the asian-american and pacific islander communities? is this a trend that's different or pretty much-- dr. fan: it's very similar because, in cpmc, 29% of mother, we called asian, pacific islander, and we look at statistics-- same, same as everybody else. robert: yeah, and when you put 35 years old as, sort of, the marker, you would pretty much figure, then, that the trend will pretty much stop around that time, right? we won't see women waiting longer than that, for the most part? dr. fan: well, it depends on when a person, especially in bay area and most professional lady, woman, they have many different reason and to--they didn't think about having baby earlier. you know, for education, continue education, continue pursue higher degree, continue to pursue a higher labor or profession. robert: yeah, and they can come to you or the pacific medical center and get that kind of advice, right, on what to do? all right, is it easy to get that kind of advice? is it easy to make an appointment? dr. fan: i would say to make appointment to our

this is happening in the pacific islands with their south, south initiative as well as closer to home here in the united states where in just over a year 17, 17 latin american countries have signed onto one belt one road. the activities extended last year with the placement of anti-cruise missiles on disputed militarized features in the south china sea and today they continue testing and development of advanced capability like fifth generation aircraft aircraft carriers and counter space technologies. i'm also concerned about the growing malign influence of russia throughout the region. moscow regularly plays the role of spoiler, seeking to undermine u.s. interests and oppose and impose additional costs on the united states and our allies whenever and wherever possible. terrorism and other nonstate actors also pose threats to our vision of a free and open indo-pacific as they seek to impose their views and radicalize people across the region as evidenced in 2017 when isis captured the southern philippine city a city of more than 200,000 people. lastly the indo-pacific remains the most
