taiwan itself. if the u. s. somehow encourages i want to believe that they are can be independent and the u. s will protect them, aside from the fact that it's not possible even by the u. s. best case scenario. yes, taiwan. i mean, china would go to war. i'm certain of that. the sentiment here is this is part of their land. it's written to their constitution. no leader of china could walk away from taiwan and survive and there. and since this is a one party system, it could very well be the end of that. latest figures in the us indicate the gross domestic product, g. d, p has shrunk for the 2nd quarter in a rope, is one of the signs of a recession, but at the same time, the employment rate continues to saw, which hasn't been the case in previous downturns. it's led to political wrangling over the state of the economy. as mike had a report from washington, it's a crippling time for american consumers. the inflation rate hovering around for decade, high of 9 percent. the base interest at which money is lent increased $4.00 times this year already. and now the news that the g d p has shrunk for
