Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I, too, want to welcome Ms. Ong and Mr. Fadden, and thank them for participating in our study. Their presentations are also appreciated.
My first questions are for Ms. Ong, the university professor.
Ms. Ong, in October 2020, you said that the Chinese Communist Party had been unsuccessful in bolstering its legitimacy and popularity through Confucius institutes. Can you tell us the extent to which China uses Confucius institutes as public relations tools?
