So is China going to invade Taiwan?

This is obviously something that I'm spending a lot of time thinking about right now because I just got back from a week in Taiwan.

I interviewed the president, President Lai, and that now has been picked up by the international media.

So a lot of eyeballs on this issue, which is one of the main reasons, of course, I wanted to go.

But I sat down with the vice president of Taiwan, the National Security Council National

Security Advisor.

I went to, I'm going to answer the question, is China going to invade?

But first, I went to a military base to see their high Mars artillery system, really more like a rocket system, but they call it an artillery system.

I saw a drone manufacturing facility. Of course, drones very important in military applications and all kinds of defense of the future, quite honestly, it's going to be tech and AI related.

I saw a boat manufacturing facility that on the one hand makes traditional, well, all kinds of

boats, but traditional Navy boats, Coast Guard vessels, but not very big ones, I think less

than 100 feet only, but they are making speedboats that have an

explosive payload that are autonomous, that are drone speedboats with a big boom in them,

or that will go boom.

That was really interesting.

Went to TSM, which is the chip manufacturer that plays a huge role, not just in the global economy and artificial intelligence, but plays a very substantial role in the whole national security situation.

So I got a very good overview, and thank you to my friend Stephen Yates, my buddy now of almost 15 years, who set all of this up.

He's at the Heritage Foundation.
