Thank you, Chair.
I have a question that I think Mr. Epp could answer in his capacity as the director general of the North Asia and Oceania bureau.
There's a concern recently—and for some time of course, generally speaking—about the People's Republic of China's intentions towards Taiwan. Lately there seems to be what might be called sabre-rattling.
How realistic is it that China could consider something as drastic as an invasion of Taiwan? What would be the consequences of such an action for Canada and the rest of the world?
