00:00Well, this leads me to point out that China's right up there at the top of the list of nations
00:04that Donald Trump produced. And as much as, you know, it's targeted based on the trade deficit,
00:11do you feel that there are some non-economic issues at play here in targeting China?
00:17I think so. I think Donald Trump definitely has a wish list. And that's why he's been asking,
00:23actually, interestingly, right, requesting President Xi to call him to have a trade
00:28negotiations. So there are definitely some other economic-related objectives that he
00:34wanted to get or non-economic-related objectives, such as he wants to acquire TikTok. He wants China
00:40to diverse TikTok to U.S. firms. So that's number one. Number two, he probably wants to really
00:47get President Xi Jinping's support to be able to get a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. He wants,
00:55you know, President Xi to maybe exert certain pressures for Putin to, you know, fast-track
01:02some kinds of a deal, which he, you know, as we all remember on the campaign trail, he said,
01:08we'll end the war in 24 hours. And that has not been materialized. I think he is really,
01:14in a way, in a very timed timeline right now. He wants to get the deal done, but he was not able
01:20to. So I'm pretty sure that he wants China to help on that front.
