Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Representative Ho-jen Tseng, for appearing before our committee.
You mentioned in your opening remarks that there's a debate going on about decoupling versus engagement on the part of democracies with the People's Republic of China, and that the answer is becoming more and more clear.
Do you believe it's time for democracies like Canada and Taiwan to decouple economically from the People's Republic of China, particularly in the five sensitive areas of critical minerals, semiconductors, biotechnology, telecommunications and artificial intelligence?
