CHANG Any of those ░░░░░░░░ or others could just ░░░░░░░░ up We don t ░░░░░░░░ You know Xi Jinping ░░░░░░░░ this agenda we don ░░░░░░░░ Bennett Two questions Is ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration ready for ░░░░░░░░ And two if there ░░░░░░░░ action on Taiwan will ░░░░░░░░ honor that treaty and ░░░░░░░░ will happen TYRUS They ░░░░░░░░ up everything they ve ░░░░░░░░ their military while we ░░░░░░░░ arguing over tweets and ░░░░░░░░ inaudible We re fighting ░░░░░░░░ ourselves China has won ░░░░░░░░ re there Now it ░░░░░░░░ like what we do ░░░░░░░░ I don t necessarily ░░░░░░░░ what we can do ░░░░░░░░ this short future because ░░░░░░░░ sheriff is gone and ░░░░░░░░ enemies are emboldened and ░░░░░░░░ allies are frustrated So ░░░░░░░░ mean it s really ░░░░░░░░ precarious time to take ░░░░░░░░ nap so to speak ░░░░░░░░ when what we really ░░░░░░░░ the country needs to ░░░░░░░░ unified strong and direct ░░░░░░░░ we re not seeing ░░░░░░░░ especially with the language ░░░░░░░░ uses with China And ░░░░░░░░ hate going into whataboutisms ░░░░░░░░ stuff because I really ░░░░░░░░ that s not the ░░░░░░░░ to go but if ░░░░░░░░ was President Trump talking ░░░░░░░░ Russia the way President ░░░░░░░░ is talking about China ░░░░░░░░ d be doing flips ░░░░░░░░ now it would be ░░░░░░░░ cover of every news ░░░░░░░░ d be like He ░░░░░░░░ to romance him He ░░░░░░░░ said that concentration camps ░░░░░░░░ a cultural thing because ░░░░░░░░ the fear of China ░░░░░░░░ obviously has I hate ░░░░░░░░ say this I hate ░░░░░░░░ I m a facts ░░░░░░░░ but we made the ░░░░░░░░ inference or the same ░░░░░░░░ with President Trump of ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ to say that you ░░░░░░░░ make the same inference ░░░░░░░░ Biden and China The ░░░░░░░░ is China is a ░░░░░░░░ a real life monster ░░░░░░░░ militarily and their influence ░░░░░░░░ technology around the world ░░░░░░░░ Yeah I think that ░░░░░░░░ Biden himself has a ░░░░░░░░ that is just outdated ░░░░░░░░ keeps on calling it ░░░░░░░░ competitor He won t ░░░░░░░░ the term adversary and ░░░░░░░░ certainly won t use ░░░░░░░░ most appropriate term which ░░░░░░░░ enemy because that s ░░░░░░░░ way the Chinese think ░░░░░░░░ us In May 2019 ░░░░░░░░ ve declared people s ░░░░░░░░ on America and that ░░░░░░░░ much defines the relationship ░░░░░░░░ China s point of ░░░░░░░░ With regards to Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ hope that the Biden ░░░░░░░░ will defend Taiwan but ░░░░░░░░ don t know because ░░░░░░░░ sees the world in ░░░░░░░░ different terms than he ░░░░░░░░
