taiwan, it sells f-16s, you know, intended to stop a chinese invasion of the island. this relationship has been there for a long time. the taiwanese have been invited here, et cetera. but in the span of 48 hours, donald trump threw the gauntlet down on three issues that divide the u.s. and china, one certainly on taiwan, one over the south china sea, one over trade. all very dangerous tense issues, without any articulation of exactly what the change is, other than we're going to be tougher here. and the thing is that each of these has a potential for an escalatie ining conflict. the south china sea, you have u.s. war planes flying over those islands. i was on one of them last year, coming in very close proximity to u.s. war planes. you have chinese warships sailing by those islands coming very close as well. as you raise that tension, those conflict points, one of those, whether it's in the military sense or as van says, in a trade sense, has the potential to blow
