Mr. Chair, I want to very quickly address the failure of the 17-point agreement, which foreshadows the failure of the “one country, two systems” principle, which foreshadows the failure of the possible integration of Taiwan. I also want to address the whole issue of hope. Mr. Virani spoke briefly about this issue.
Are we still helplessly watching the situation unfold, or is the international community working together to try to force the People's Republic of China to change?
