We have to take it very seriously, and this is one thing, of course, that historians in the U.S. always remind us. The issue of who lost China is a driving feature in American politics, and that goes back to 1949. It doesn't matter if it's Democrats or Republicans; you can't be seen as surrendering to China. That is sort of the third rail for any American president, and, as I said, we have seen this historically. It doesn't matter what party you're with; you have to be there for Taiwan. I think the type of forced disposition that the Americas have made in terms of responding to the Chinese buildup is clear.
Just to go back to Mr. Chong's point that the American tonnage is bigger, the American tonnage is also much more capable at the same time. They've responded directly with the means of responding to an amphibious assault. That is the type of dispositions they have, and that's what you have to look at, which means they're going to use it if they have to, because politically it's suicide for Biden not to. It would be suicide for any Republican not to.
