Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here, gentlemen. We really appreciate it.
I would like to hear your thoughts on statements made in the United States recently. The director of the CIA said that President Xi has given the order to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. At the same time, the Pentagon said that a military invasion or blockade of Taiwan would be unlikely to succeed, especially a blockade since it would give the allies time to gather the necessary forces to support Taiwan.
Do you agree with the Pentagon's assessment that an invasion of Taiwan would not be successful?
