Original Text

Now, keep in mind, we haven't talked at all about Asia yet outside of China. The new Japanese Prime Minister Kishida is at least as hawkish in his orientation towards China and Russia as Abe was. He is providing support for the Ukrainians, including some military capacity -- unheard of for the Japanese. He's allowing Ukrainian refugees -- unheard of for the Japanese. And yesterday, the South Koreans had a very, very tight election, and Yoon is now in charge. He is on the right, and he is the guy that is strongly anti-China, was talking about South Korea having nuclear capabilities, wants a new THAAD missile defense system for the South Koreans and wants to rebuild the relationship with Tokyo. That matters. And that's a big strategic change in the geopolitical map that will look more problematic on the decoupling front from Beijing's perspective.
