Our friends at csis for the outstanding job they did in preparing the home field. Our first panel was an excellent discussion of high policy, and we had two outstanding presenters and one outstanding moderator. We even got into some discussion due to bonnies insistence on domestic issues which was good. This session is not about policy. Policies are important, but theres more to elections than the respective views of the candidates, and so what we want to look at in this panel is in effect the horse race. Even though president ma whose name means horse is not running this time theres still a horse weighs, and theres a lot about elections that is very important to the outcome, and affects the way people vote, but dont have that much to do with policy positions. So for example, the quality and charisma of the candidates, the Party Identification of voters and how that shapes who they vote for. The larger balance of ideological sentiment that exists in society. Contextual factors like the
For cross relations. The big thing is this. Taiwan now with xi jinping has created so many enemies. He has to consolidate his power so next generation of leaders will be, of course his appointment. During this time i thing xi jinping will not make it easy on taiwan. What will china do . I dont think china will take drastic measures against taiwan. Instead china will tighten the screws with gradually. That will hurt taiwan people. Taiwan people are very sensitive to what china has to say or do. So even though the measure is not that drastic, relatively mild, in the former chinese perspective that will hurt china. What im concerned this will have a negative impact on taiwans domestic politics which will internally have a negative feedback loop on china. So thats the thing that we have to pay very close attention to. So of all the measure, the mild measures that china may undertake against taiwan, i think the harbinger of communication between the two are the most important one. Even more
Authority and we go to the company and serve them with an order, we just want the information that the order says we can get. And how the company does it is frankly their business. And we want to work with them, and help them, some company cans would wo some companies can work with us. But others do it on their own. What do you think, john, about this . I mean, theres no one size fits all, but you said theres policy questions involved. And they do ultimately boil down to policy questions. To the matts thing, theres a way to land a man on the sun, and thats you go at night. I feel that is what we are being asked to do, to land on the sun at night. The thing that you are talking about with corporate access, is in fact the easy part of the problem. And there are present solutions to that. However, when you have third party people, and when you have for example, an email provider that is holding other companies emails. And i shut down an email system because we were a provider that was usi
May not be. Jon crews will be closing out his 3rd run as mayor of cedar falls starting in 1973. And ending next month as he has decided not to run in the runoff on december 1st. In all of the 2year mayoral terms crews has won, hes survived three runoffs. I was not looking forward to another four weeks. I have done that in the past so its not undoable but its very difficult and its going to be a tough campaign. On thursday morning, crews spoke at city hall with challenger jim brown, who captured the most votes. Jon asked me into his office to have a discussion with him and he let me know that he was going to retire from the race. Mayor crews also said he encouraged his supporters to support brown in the december 1 runoff. That should end it, right . I entered the race august 21st, basically had two months to run and got 20 of the vote. Dave halterman is retired but did exactly that picking up 20 . As far as i understand, there is a law that says there has to be a runoff and there can be
