I Think China Could Deploy an Effective Area Denial Strategy in a Blockade

I think it's perfectly, perfectly reasonable to think that the Chinese could deploy an effective area denial strategy in a blockade. I don't see why we can't have some kind of, of compromise to, to ameliorate our competing interests there. The fact that Nancy Pelosi is visiting there in,. in the context of the worst relations between the U.S. and China in probably my lifetime, I think is telling and quite inappropriate if the goal of the relationship is to really work towards smoothing things out. It looks to me like we're the ones preventing the conclusion of a civil war that's been ongoing.
