Does the president of the United States matter to a great degree? How has President Trump navigated that relationship with China compared to other presidents? Does China respect any one presidential position? you know, administration more than another, or does it not matter at all? You're always going to get CCP in opposition to the USA.

Well, the CCP is always against the USA.

That's their goal and to destroy United States.

But however, I think President Trump has been doing great, greatly push forward American interest.

Now, keep in mind, you know, ever since the 70s when Nixon went to Beijing, you know, this is how the whole thing started.

And President Trump, was really the very first president who, you know, in 2018, January, when the trade war started and 25% tariffs on the solar panel from China, that's how he turned things around.

All these years, the wrong direction of U.S. government's China policy started.

Can we overstate the importance of Taiwan? Should China act on Taiwan? What would that trigger? Taiwan's an important piece on the chessboard.

So was she taken into custody and does she remain in custody of, so the charges are spying on behalf of a foreign government?

Yeah, basically she works for the foreign government.

Now, spy may not be a very exact term.

Okay.

Yeah, because that's just people's normal talking, you know, she's a spy, but basically because she's not trying to get those top secret or defense secret or government classified information, but what she's trying to get is the it's the information which is very important.

United States airline in the Western Pacific and president of Taiwan's family, you know, maybe the Chinese government maybe use those information as a leverage to take advantage of Taiwan.

Now, if she got to pay, for collecting those information from the Chinese agency, then she needs to register in the U.S. government as a foreign agent, but she did not do it.

Is this intimidation a common tactic of the CCP?

What do you mean by that?

Well, there's a lot of things on the negotiation table, but actually the most important part, it's not on the negotiation table.

The most important part is that Xi is here.

Now, we Americans, we have a very short memory.

We already forgot how difficult it is to get him here.

During Biden's administration, President Biden tried every way in order to get Xi Jinping to come to San Francisco in October of 2023 to join the APEC meeting so they, too, can have a face-to-face talk.

So he sent Tony Blinken twice to China, and Secretary Yellen once to China, and then after that as Secretary of Commerce, and then he also tried to have Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense, to engage China as Secretary of Defense in Singapore, and then eventually out of the people to send to China, invited Xi Jinping so that eventually he sent Governor Newsom to China.

So when they get in the car, can President Trump say to President Xi, you're not going to evade Taiwan, are you?

What do you mean by that?

Well, there's a lot of things on the negotiation table, but actually the most important part, it's not on the negotiation table.

The most important part is that Xi is here.

Now, we Americans, we have a very short memory.

We already forgot how difficult it is to get him here.

So when they get in the car, can President Trump say to President Xi, you're not going to evade Taiwan, are you?

Is that still the case? And are we doing anything to recover that dominance, at least certainly naval dominance?

Well, in the last few years, U.S. has been increasing its shipbuilding capacity to try to catch up.

But still, the Chinese Navy, based on the U.S.

Naval Institute's information, the Chinese still has the biggest Navy in the world.

So they have more than 100 more ships.

100 and more warships than the U.S. naval

What does China want? And can we believe a damn thing they say?

We can believe zero things from the mouth of Xi Jinping.

Nan, can I talk to you about this? Have you heard about this before?

Well, they have been trying to collect all kinds of information, including voter information.

And during the COVID time, they tried to collect Americans' vital information related to the virus, right? So there's a lot of things being done.

If you connect all these together, you know, interfere with the U.S. election, trying to collect information, large data of the American people and also there being state sponsor attack to Treasury Department, US military base, important transit centers.

That's a war.

That's unrestricted warfare ever since the mid-90s that CCP has been conducting against America and for the purpose to destroy America.

Were they manipulating our voting machines?

Well, it's definitely that the CCP's target was President Donald J. Trump.

Maybe they are in favor of the blockade to continue because it would force Iran to s- to sell oil much below market prices to them

themUh, yeah, I think China has been better off since the ceasefire.

Uh, not the start of, uh, not from the starting of this year.

Now, uh, in April, China average purchase about 600,000 to 700,000 barrels of, uh, oil a day from the United States, and then, and, and liquid ga- gasoline too.

Uh, but in May, they didn't buy anything from the United States directly be- because they figure out, you know, they're going to get oil from, uh, uh, from Iran in a much cheaper price.

Uh, so basically, uh, I, I, I don't know how this, how long this ceasefire it's going to last, but I hope eventually, uh, Trump administration is going to make the decision that we're not going to negotiate with the regime anymore.

You know, there, there must be a point that, um, that we change it to, uh, to go back to what we original started over there.

Um, do you think it was a good idea for the Trump administration to allow Iranians to sell oil, to lift the sanctions on Iran- Iranian oil s- sales before they've proven that they're really, actually gonna hold up their end of this MOU, the bargain and the ceasefire?

Uh, what kind of deal do you think he's hoping to strike? Where's the sweet spot of the deal here?

Uh, I, I don't think that, uh, uh, Trump is going there for a deal.

I think Trump going there with a strategic goal of to defend the peace in the Western Pacific.

Uh, think about that.

All these, uh, trade deal that, uh, uh, buying American, uh, farm and agricultural products like, uh, uh, beans and beef and pork traits, those things can be signed basically by Scott Basin.

It doesn't...

Trump doesn't need to be there.

Tariffs

Nan, with Trump setting his sights on Iran, is China just sitting back going, exactly what we had hoped for?

No, of course, China is totally scared by Trump's administration's effort of going after Iran.

If you look at, you know, following Joshua's basically all the describe of the whole background, if you look at the map, You know, China, Russia, and Iran, they are forming an axis now between these three countries.

On the south, on the west south side of Russia, on the east, on the west side of China, there are five Central Asian countries that, I call them stand countries, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, those 10 countries, they are, you know, from China, basically, and east, going all the way up to the east border of Iran.

So, and then, you know, and then Iran, it's really the west side front.

of this evil axis.

And then to the west side of Iran, that will be Iraq.

Nansu, China's ultimate goal is what, sir?
