Well, probably I would imagine their trip would have been paid for by the Taiwanese. Uh it wasn't an official delegation from Parliament. So um, you know, the Taiwanese are known for doing that. I've in fact um been to Taiwan many years ago, um, and that was uh I was approached by a cabinet minister who put together a group, went up to Taiwan themselves. So look, it's been done for years, but in the Chinese have been a little less sensitive than what they are at the moment.
