casualties. Correct. We're going to keep the Cold War. The Cold War is going to remain with us, but it doesn't ever need to go hot. And I worry a great deal that if China moves on Taiwan, that this would mean either a devastating conflict or really the end of American superpower, eventual end of American superpower, because if China takes Taiwan, I think most people don't appreciate this. And I talk about this extensively in the book, the importance of Taiwan to both China and the United States. And it's not just about chips. Reducing Taiwan to chips is actually insulting to the Taiwanese and is a misunderstanding of the geopolitics of that region. But China taking Taiwan would lead to their hegemony in Asia. And hegemony in Asia in the most important region of the world, 50% of the world's GDP, much of the growth and most of the supply chains would lead to their increasing dominance around the world. And it would draw of American power from the world, which would impact us (41/57)
