Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Bartholomew, for taking the time tonight.
In listening to your presentation and in reading your analysis of the whole issue of China-U.S. relations, and China's relations with global democracies more generally, I have to ask a very straightforward question here. Is there any hope for any relationship between China and democracies like Canada, the U.S. and other democracies that is—I won't use the word “peaceful” here—not strained? Are we really seeing the emergence of a second cold war?
