Thank you for the question. It's a very good question. It's a bit philosophical, yes. That said, it's also based on elements of real life.
We can look at efforts that have been made to work with certain countries to move them in a certain direction. We can look at Russia, for example. Considering the current situation with the war in Ukraine, we can say that it likely hasn't worked. There are other examples where it has worked. There can be a middle ground.
Since last year, with regard to China, the government has wanted to recognize that relations were quite strained owing to the two Michaels affair. It made things harder for us, and it was complicated to have relations and discussions on very important issues. We saw the same thing happen with India.
Therefore, this government has really made the decision to co-operate when it's in our interest to do so and wherever it's possible to co-operate. However, we recognize that we will continue to have our differences. I think that with China, certain differences will persist.
I don't have a precise answer, but, in my opinion, we're living in a world where we have to try to talk to all the players, to see where there are common areas on which we can work together. However, we need to be clear about our interests. We need to draw a line.
