sent two ships, there's one of them, oh, so close to the asian super power by sailing through the taiwan strait. china's neighbor to the east, north korea, digging in its heels on nuclear talks unless the u.s., it says, adjusts its position on sanctions and disarmament. not enough sabre rattling for you? president trump did just announce he's deploying 1500 more troops to the middle east to counter threats from iran. finally, the brexit battle, that almost seems quaint. after the rejection of four of her plans to exit the european union, british prime minister theresa may finally has officially thrown in the towel. she announced her last day on the job is june 7th. yep. she choked back some tears there. she has said she tried very hard but i'll tell you something, our floor show traders are trying very hard to deal with all of this. let's get to our traders. i'm impressed our markets are up with all that we just outlined and that european markets closed higher, too. would you agree or disagree that investors have maybe developed thicker skin these days? >> thanks for having me, as always. i do

is going to continue to put ships in the taiwan straits in the south china seas and that it will continue attacking any kind of progress that china makes on the technology front so this is going to be a long term situation in terms of what beijing can do hopefully it won't but it could quite possibly say that for security reasons they will be banning broadcom qualcomm who have also joined on the train with google and keep all of those out make it almost impossible from the do that then this is what i would call a hard fork where you're really going to see a real change in and basically 2 camps going ahead with their respective technologies might this. impact the apple machine around the world because pull has a lot of stuff going on in china well you literally you could see apple's sales plummet this is one of the other realities of this trade war is that these types of international stories are going to impact more and more nationalist china and they will shy away from buying apple and other u.s. products remember this is a over $350000000000.00 a year market where u.s. companies are sel

are pushing back, that's what this navigation is taking place through south china sea, through taiwan strait do on regular basis. >> i mean, we should point out that china made commitment or promise to president obama saying they're not going to militarize the chinese -- the south china sea and yet that's exactly what they've been doing, so there's every reason to believe that china may renege on promises that it makes. >> constantly does and no one has been stealing our intellectual property more than china has and they've been lying through their teeth about it because they say that they don't do that and it's not surprising that we are getting close to have trade deal with china, president xi wants to relitigate it from the beginning, that's certainly frustrating and hopefully something positive will come out with vice prime ire coming this week. maria: we talked about forced transfer of technology, this is a culture, hard nut to crack even the fact that this is something that chinese, the chinese people have been doing for a long time. i recognize now they need own innovation and maybe m

just, you know, reasserting to china that its view that it owns the south china sea for the taiwan straitng with reality. stuart: is all this really linked into the china trade story? the u.s. navy sending, you know, a destroyer or naval ships into the south china sea? we've got the huawei situation going on. are they all linked in a new confrontation with china? >> yes. i believe there's been a sea change in washington and you see this on capitol hill. there are very few people who want appeasement with china. there are fewer who are really willing to get tough but across the board, whether it's militarily or with trade, you know, i don't think we are going to see a lot of movement on trade before the 30th anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre which comes up on june 4th, but you know, the idea that you will demonstrate to the chinese that it's really in their incentive to talk and to negotiate. stuart: so we have hard line trump on iran. hard line trump on china. that's the situation this monday morning. christian, thanks for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank you, stuart. stu
