00:00Thank you so much. I have a question about China and then another on the cricket. Starting
00:04with President Cricket on the cricket.
00:06As in the game?
00:07Yes.
00:08Okay.
00:09Starting with President Xi.
00:10Yeah, see, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't bummed.
00:11Or the singing insect.
00:12Yeah.
00:13Go ahead.
00:14Let me know. Okay.
00:15Sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:16President Xi last year told the head of the European Commission or the European Commission
00:23President that the U.S. is trying to, quote, trick China into attacking Taiwan. This sounds
00:27awfully similar to some of the language that President Putin was using to justify his invasion
00:33of Ukraine. Do you think that Xi is taking a line from Putin's playbook? How concerned
00:38are you about it? Is this something that the two leaders have talked about?
00:41It's bogus, for one. There's absolutely no truth to it. I can't get into Mr. Xi's head
00:46and figure out where, who's giving him his talking points or where it's coming from.
00:49Just not true. What's your next question?
00:50All right. On cricket, what's the difference between a spin ball and a double? No, I'm
00:56The U.S. team has spin balled their way into glory. They're in the Super 8.
00:59Yeah, congratulations to them. I saw that.
01:01Yes, I just wanted to know.
01:02They're in the Super 8 now.
01:03The Super 8.
01:04It's amazing.
01:05And they're facing the Proteas and then the Windys in the coming days. Does the President
01:08have a message for this unexpected success in a sport that is wildly popular everywhere
01:13else in the world?
01:14We all congratulate them on this success. It's tremendous and we're cheering them on.
01:17All right, let's keep going.
01:19Thank you.
