what has been the impact of these delayed re-openings in the asia-pacific region? brian: north america, europe, and latin america are outpacing aipac, but to give you a point of reference, before the pandemic, half of our business was cross-border. the majority is people crossing borders or staying in cities. we've seen people not crossing borders and not traveling to cities. what we've now seen is that as borders start to reopen, when president biden visited ford, cross-border bookings into the united states were up 44% in one week. cross-border's are still restricted, but that means we think there will be a lot of pent-up demand. i think travel is one of the things that people miss the most and feel like has been taken away from them. i think you will see a lot more. emily: how do you see the mix of domestic and cross-border travel shifting as we move forward? brian: it will come back a bit. i don't think you will see the world looking like 2019. business travel will never come back to 2019 levels the way it was, people getting on airplanes for a meeting. there w

as vision for the indo pacific region, he stressed the importance of keeping this region prosperous and stable and peaceful. and part of that really or large part of that is about keeping this region free of corrosion and intimidation. now we heard him speak in indonesia accusing china really aggressive actions listing some of those actions as china, claiming large parts of the south china sea, conducting illegal fishing, punishing countries using the economic might punishing countries whose policies it disagrees with. so very much what he said was really just an extension of what he said at the policies speech outlined in jakarta on tuesday. now, the u. s. as strategy really is about using se asia to, to keep a rising china at bay. the biden administration has it, it sees it's rivalry with china as it's biggest jo, political test of the century. and this visit is very much about deepening ties and engagement with the region. because remember, this is a region that was after all overlooked during the 4 years when donald trump was the president of the united states. but the bite of admin
