And we have a commitment to Taiwan under the Taiwan Relations Act, a bipartisan commitment that's existed for many many years to make sure that Taiwan has the ability to defend itself and to make sure that we're sustaining peace and security in the western Pacific. We stand behind all those commitments and all I can tell you is, it would be a serious mistake for anyone to try to change the existing status quo by force. We have a serious commitment to peace and security in the western Pacific and in that context, it would be a serious mistake for anyone to try to change that status quo by force.”
