Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much, Mr. Kirby, for your testimony, but more importantly, thank you very much for the personal sacrifice and investment that you've made in the cause of human rights in North Korea. We greatly appreciate the thorough work that you've done.
I wanted to ask you, particularly because in your concluding remarks you mentioned how you were dedicated to human rights in North Korea, about how in mid-2014 there seemed to be a new openness on North Korea's part. Of course, you mentioned that there was a decision where your findings might possibly be referred to the International Criminal Court, and they responded very harshly in that regard and closed down their openness. I'll lead off with these two questions and let you deal with them.
First, have there been any renewed signs of openness, particularly because they know that this is pending in the Security Council?
Second, China a few months ago made some overtures to correct some of North Korea's international behaviour. I'm wondering if that has chastened North Korea at all to change its behaviour in regard to human rights?
