Going back to my consistency point, think about some of the interests that we've outlined in the Indo-Pacific. We've talked about some of our support for like-minded democracies—our support, for example, for the arbitral ruling in the South China Sea—and some of our operations in the region, as my colleagues mentioned.
I'm not saying that we should throw those in the face of the Chinese foreign minister when he's here, but by no means do I think that we should backtrack on them. That's one important part. We can't be meek and let the agenda be framed by the Chinese side.
The second point that I would make—and I think a lot of us remember, famously or infamously, what happened the last time the Chinese foreign minister was visiting—is that we cannot allow such things to happen in our democracy. Perhaps he has learned his lesson, but that's an example of something I hope does not happen.
