I think her visit was concealed up until the very last moment partly because they want to take China by surprise to a degree, but it also, there were memes reportedly circulating about her visit that no one even knew who she was, and yet she's going there as a political stunt in order to kind of put a capstone on her decades of China hawkery or anti-china hawkery I should say in the house as her career comes to a close soon hopefully. That seems to be the consensus about her motivation, but we don't face the risk of military threat or violence based on this kind of visit and provocation. Taiwan does. For her to conflate and say that just because past government officials have done this she's third in line to the White House she's speaker of the house. To downplay the significance of it is to basically plan people's ignorance of how it's being greeted in Taiwan, which is a major like you said third in line coming to visit them which doesn't happen. Yeah, of course, and so because of the historical reason like both Taiwan and China think they're China like for historical reasons, right?
