Thank you.
I very much second what has been said. I think it's very important, too, that strategic alliances be formed between like-minded liberal democracies. For this to be realistic, in that it will have an effect, much more effort needs to be put into organizing high-level officials from each interested country to come together and actively sit down and discuss what other policies we want to enact together to stop Chinese influence in the way it has been developing.
One major problem I've seen is that countries have been very keen to sign joint letters, which is all fine and well. I believe it's a positive thing to see the intention from many countries, but as we've seen in the past, such declarations of intent haven't really achieved anything yet. I wish that liberal democracies could use the momentum to discuss in more realistic and constructive terms what we can agree we will actually do together and in coordination.
