Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.
From your presentations that I've heard so far, it seems that setting yourself on fire has not necessarily worked. When you protest, you want a positive result. It's my assessment that China does not care about this type of protest. Would there not be a better way to protest? That's one thing.
Here are my questions. What has been the response of Chinese authorities to the self-immolations? What is your assessment of this response? Also, what minimum steps would you like to see China take in order to address the problem of self-immolation?
