You know, I mean, that's what it means fundamentally, because if they do that, then they are, you know, de facto regional hegemon of the area where 70% of all economic growth is going to, you know, occur in the near term here in the future.

And that would certainly be a problem for us, you know, and would even position them potentially to challenge us for global hegemony.

So to the extent we beat China, I think it just means that we stay in Asia forever.

and maintain our interests there.

And that's why the pivot to Asia is essential because no other region of the world is there some would be global hegemon lurking.

If that is possible, then yes, I think we need to attend to that because being kept out would be a disaster, right?
