 It's going to be interesting for us to have other perspectives on this election. And with Mr. Akita, he's going to give us his view of how Asia is seeing this election coming up and what it means for Asian countries and also maybe allude also to Taiwanese elections. Okay. Thank you very much for having me. Since I'm from one of the most dangerous geostrategic locations, surrounded by Russia, North Korea, and China, and Japan is just next to a Taiwan Strait and Korean Peninsula, and Russia has been occupying Japanese territory for about 70 years. So please allow me to be a bit, allow me to present a bit pessimistic view. In that context, I'd like to make three points. One is about the prospect of US presidential election. I don't go into detail because he gave us a lot of details. Then secondly, it's implication US presidential election implication for Asia or for US allies and partners. And then thirdly, about the Taiwan presidential election next January. So first, prospect of US presidential election. I traveled to southern part of US last month, like Georgia, to meet many Mr. Trump's supporters and I did. And that reminded me that two things, one, they are very, very serious. They are seriously supporting Mr. Trump. But more importantly, many people say that US economic situation is terrible, though objective economic data says unemployment rate is quite low and the US economy is kind of growing. So I asked the political scientist about it and they say it is bipartisan bias. So people do not accept objective data anymore. So this means that I think that US election next year is not a topic to analyze based on objective data because people don't buy it. But rather it is defact political civil war. So if it is political civil war, maybe prospect would be very, very highly polarized and whether Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump will win, it's going to further deepen the division of the United States. So that is my first prospect on US presidential election. And secondly, second point, implication of US presidential election to US allies, whether Mr. Trump will become president or not, I think that US election will further accelerate so-called plan A dash trend. Plan A, plan A world is the world in which US maintain dominant power and strong leadership so that US allies or partners could keep riding on US security umbrella or US leadership. That is a plan A world but maybe first Trump administration brought world to plan A dash world. So we are now at the plan A dash world. That is US allies or partner still keep relying on US military presence or leadership to some extent but realize that plan A is not sustainable anymore. So make more effort to defend itself or to make more security or military contribution to sustain US military commitment. For example, Japan made a decision to launch biggest military buildup after World War II and namely double its defense budget within five years. And also Japan reached out to reaching out to Australia, UK, South Korea, France to enhance security cooperation to support or complement US military presence in the Pacific. So I think that US presidential election will be highly polarized and if of course it is, if Mr Trump get elected, the world will further accelerate the shift from plan A to plan A dash. But even if Mr Biden get elected, people it will highlight how US will be, US have to change, face the challenge internally. So I think regardless who will be elected, the world will accelerate plan A dash trend. But for the country who can, but some of the country maybe plan A dash that is to sustain US military commitment or leadership will even maybe for some country it will not be possible. Maybe Middle East, US is reducing footprint. So for that country next year will be the beginning of the real plan B world. So my point is that shift from plan A to plan A dash or plan B world. So that is the second point. And third and last point is about the Taiwan presidential election next January. I think that whether ruling parties candidate or official parties candidate win, there will be a common ground that is a status quo, maintenance of status quo. According to a public poll, majority of Taiwan people really wants to maintain status quo. So if ruling party candidate win, maybe they try to, he will try to keep a distance from mainland China, but will not call for independent. If opposition party leader will win the presidency, maybe he will try to embrace more dialogue with China, but will not embrace China's economic or political sphere of influence to the extent to change the status quo. So that is a prediction. Thank you. Thank you. Well, it's interesting because Isabel said these elections are not really going to count because it's not going to change much afterwards. Because what matters is what's going to happen on the battlefield in Ukraine and in Israel. And you're saying that whatever the elections are going to bring about in the States, definitely we're going to see an importance lessening for the United States as the big ally.
