Understood:
I do have some concerns about your position, though, in the sense that the United States is the only power in the world that can really rival anything that China has. I don't think you would disagree with that.
On the idea that we would move away from aligning ourselves with our oldest and strongest ally and of avoid international agreements with our allies that include the U.S., AUKUS and the quadrilateral security dialogue, I feel that that's a bit reckless. The farther away we are from the U.S., the more we may open ourselves up to being hurt.
I take your point fully regarding the two Michaels, though I think that may be more of a case of the President of the United States and our Prime Minister not having a strong enough relationship. I think there's something to be said there. That said, I do have concerns with your position.
I'll just conclude, Mr. Chair.
You said earlier that we need to align with the UN and the IMF and the World Health Organization a bit more, but as was pointed out by Mr. Neve, the UN Human Rights Council voted against condemning the Uighur genocide in China. I do have concerns with the priorities you've outlined today, but I do very much appreciate your perspective.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
