Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Aljizawi, one of the things that you talked about was the bad actors having each other's backs relative to other countries. I asked that question in the first panel that we had.
To either of you, do we know to what extent there's coordination among countries like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, particularly as we're talking about developing democracies? Do you have any thoughts on that?
Then, I'll put a second question to you at the same time. I came to the international human rights subcommittee more through international development work. As I think about those developing democracies, it seems as though the conversation that we're having might be different. When we're thinking about Canada, the U.S. and other countries, these bad actors aren't looking, I don't think, for allies. They're looking probably to destabilize us more than anything else and to send messages to people back in their own countries through the actions that they take.
However, as I think about developing democracies, is there an aspect to which it's not so much destabilization as a goal, but maybe even winning over allies as they move forward? To what extent ought we be paying attention to that?
