south korea and taiwan are investing both in the u. s. and in their homelands. south korea has recently launched a k belt cluster k chip bells cluster, which basically entails foreign companies such as you, paul and a s and mel participating. but at the same time some products basically s k hi, next memory chips and nan flash. their focus is not just going to be on memory chips, but also on system chips. taiwan, at the same time, is going to invest heavily with in taiwan while maintaining the leverage in the us by expanding production facilities. so we'll have to see how this unfolds into 2023, and into the longer term, maybe the next 10 years. june teufel dryer, let me ask you, taiwan, we know has almost 60 percent of the market when it comes to semiconductors. is there any possibility that we could see taiwan try to use this shortage of semiconductors as a political tool? well, the time one is very, very careful. m the momentum recently. and i would say in the last 5 years, just because china has become so increasingly aggressive across the board, i don't have

u. s. troops, station in south korea. and the, the annual military exercises that the u. s conducts with south korea with the u. s . do you think of any circumstances if an agreement is ended to formerly and the war? could you see the u. s. reducing troops numbers in the peninsula? so if i were still in government, i would certainly recommend against that. somewhat ironic, i think the president boon is in ewing to pursue this and a war declaration. now in the face of again, north korean senior intransigence and also somewhat ironically is the fact that just recently earlier this month of the matter of fact, the u. s. a secretary defense met with his counterpart with their annual security consultation meeting during which a commitment was made and i'm sure that south trinity has just committed to maintaining its current force posture on the peninsula. so again, i think whereas resident moons objectives may, in fact be laudable and are probably a component of trying to establish a legacy prior to him. religion wishing power and a couple months, a legacy that he may leave beh

again, south korea really reveals that the u. s. and japan are hoping to benefit from this disk with a couple of process. and there is a g geo political dynamic in this because either you belong in this supply chain or you don't. so that will accelerate the geopolitical divide into the coming years. and the export curves are not ended. the hallway band is still in place. we'll have to see, not just the economic dimensions of this, but the geopolitical dimensions as well. june teufel, dryer, of course said june parker was talking about the acceleration of the geopolitical divide. and that leads me to something i wanted to ask you, which is could this race to make up for the shortfall ignite political tensions? i'm not sure of because he, a chinese government of course is the, is the, the reason for most of these political tensions, things were going fine until the chinese began is to use computer chips and rare earth and all kinds of things as economic weapons. so i think there or did they, did geo political tensions are, are already

korea back to diplomatic talks. the u. s. has promised to maintain its number of troops in south korea. now women across the u. s. have had a constitutional right to abortion since 1973, but a case before the supreme court could lead to abortion is becoming illegal again in many parts of the country. how do you feel castro reports in washington or nearly 5 decades? women have been able to get abortions in the united states, thanks to a decision made within these marbled halls. now, a new panel, a supreme court justices, is revisiting that decision and could take it all back. it's heartbreaking to think that ro could get overturns, and ro has always been the floor and never the ceiling. but i want to live in a country where every single person can have access to health care that we mean saving the lives of so many rushes unworthy. children who are voiceless are un unable to defend themselves, and they're relying on us with the abortion case before the court comes from mississippi, where the conservative state legislature wants to ban nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. well, before viability lower courts have rul

south korea is reaching the end of his term. how much pressure does that put on south korea? the u. s. to reach some sort of a conversation with north korea. well, president moon has been invested in seeking reconciliation with, with north re spend a lot of personal capital and political capital on that. i, however, of his, his term is coming to an end. so he's thinking about legacy issues. i would argue that the national interests are much longer term and out live the personalities. so i don't expect any kind of a sudden reconciliation or some kind of piece agreement. i think we can be in this equilibrium, this sub standard or sub optimal equilibrium for a long time into the future. daniel kingston lecture, if international relations at troy university, thank you for your time. my pleasure. well, d, nicolai's, asian off the korean peninsula is one of the u. s. president j biden's foreign policy priorities 2022 may see a pivot from the oval office and pressing global issues. and the growing threats from china and fish explains if the white house was a circus. joe biden would be plate s
