u. s. has been bullying. china for very, very long time. obviously, you know, taiwan is in china's back yard. it's nowhere near america. i mean, it reminds me of the u. k. in the full claims, i wanted to ask you, what is the us doing over there with all of its rights of freedom of navigation passages through the south china sea and all of this nancy pelosi and these ongoing delegations of u. s. officials flying, they went when china keep saying, stop it, what is washington trying to prove and that part of the world on tucson, so all the bible immunizations is trying to prove to and the republican party. busy that is acting. busy tougher on china than the other side. and, but there is a bipartisan consensus on the existence of the american hedge money. so i'm going to try to do is a little rivalry in but also internationally by that wants to show them that he's not the lead. all american lead a will or not, but this behavior, as i said, it's been going on by some time and it's only that on the part of the ministration is really close to the a breaking point. but even though we're with the breaking point, there is no indication of airing for the nation.
