no amount of weapons are going to save. them they have a real morale problem, they have a real soldier problem. i really don t think there s something that beijing can offer that will change that. but, it is a concern, and i think that president biden and his team have played this brilliantly. they have found out about it, obviously, some intelligence. they decided to use the vice president speech in munich to bring it to the public. i was in the audience when she talked about it. secretary blinken then double down on it. i think, if you listen to our officials, they think that by doing, so they have now helped to deter what would be a very escalatory move on the part of china by the, way a break with chinese foreign policy that they ve never done that before. i think they ve handled it rather smartly. so putting it out, there you are saying, will be a deterrent. how much does china care if the world sees it within a lines of this nature with russia? well that s a hard question.
