So it seems the US has caused some problems internationally with their new facility in Taiwan. China isn't happy about the huge facility.
gpt
Yeah, I heard that too. Ya know, Taiwan is recognized as a sovereign nation by 21 countries. But recently three have reversed that position.
human
I wonder why those countries reversed that position? Do you know if it is pressure from China on those countries?
gpt
Yes, it was actually reversed in order to establish favor and diplomatic relations with mainland China. 
human
*hands tremble* I think its crazy the power China has in the world right now. They can essentially just annex another country and make it theirs. All the other countries are nervous to say anything.
gpt
Yes, it is a weird time indeed. The most recent country to break off relations was Burkina Faso. Many nations are aligning themselves with China recently.
human
I think China is asserting its power somewhat unfairly. They even shut down the website for Marriot as a control tactic. Worries me what else they are capable of. 
gpt
I totally agree with you. I get worried when I do not feel like I get all the news from the tv every evening. The United States has invested so much money in Taiwan and says we will be there for the long haul.
human
*body stiffens* Yeah with 2 super powers battling for Taiwan you never know what the outcome will be. Its clear they both want Taiwan for themselves. It sounds like China is willing to risk a lot to take control.
gpt
Yes, well said! I know that the United States does not back down and CHina has recently stated that they will not either. Leaders of China have taken over the airplanes that fly into Taiwan. The U.S. has not succumb to the order though.
human
*eyes widen* Its interesting that the US is treating Taiwan like their own country and having meeting with their diplomats. And China is treating Taiwan like they are apart of China and controlling all the decisions made on its behalf. 
gpt
Yes, it does not resemble the United States and is curious to observe. I was recently in Washington DC and was able to see the White house which is surprisingly smaller than the guest house. 
human
*lips slightly parted* Oh really? I have never been to DC. I would love to visit someday and see all the historical sites. I would love to see the Washington monument. Washington was my favorite president, also one of the most wealthy ever.
gpt
Yes, isn't that crazy. You would love it if you can ever visit because of all the memorials. Amazing!
human
*leans slightly forward* I would love to watch a baseball game while I was there. Maybe the Nationals, they have a cool stadium. If not maybe I could watch the US Congress game. They play every year but I doubt they are as good as the National.
gpt
*eyes brighten* That would be fun and entertaining. A fun fact is that Elmo testified before congress! 
human
Oh really? I wonder if he was tickled to be there? I would never want to testify in front of congress, probably means you are in some trouble
gpt
HA, that is a cute thought! Elmo is so short since 1900, the taller candidate has won the U.S. Presidential election 75 of the time.
human
*smiles* There is some shortism happening in the US! Or maybe its because there is only a 62.8% turnout for voters, and all the short people stay home? I think more people should vote and have their voice heard.
gpt
Yes, everybody should vote! Get out the vote, young and old!
human
People fought and died for that right! Now take advantage!

gpt
Yes, I agree with that. I couldn't have said it better. I honor the President because we were voting and he won. 
human
Its hard to oppose if you had a chance to decide who the president was. Although you don't have to agree with everything.
gpt
Yes, I agree with the choice. Have a fun day.
human
You as well. 
gpt
*laughs* Gonna go watch a documentary on China. Bye
