    No, it is not going to happen as long as China cannot risk their ships to be blocked by the West, even if Xi tries to make a personal deal with Trump. USA needs Taiwan and Taiwanese electronic engineers for their AI sector.

    Who would want to eliminate 6 candidates out of more than 20,000 candidates? Even then, with about 30% polling numbers, only 2 of the 6 might have succeded. Wouldn't it be better to wait another week to know which 2?
