It's not often I get called the honourable member.
There was an interesting article in The Globe and Mail this morning about “Amerexit”. It's a triumphalist Chinese colonel who is basically anticipating that the chaos in the United States will ultimately and quite quickly lead to China's supremacy as the world's foremost superpower. There have been some developments down there. The first was of course The Hague decision, which China has unilaterally blown off. The second has been the change of government in the Philippines and a more obvious rapprochement between the Philippines and China. The third is the relationship between Malaysia and China, which seems to have some warming effect.
I would think that all of these things have some impact on your analysis of the threat environment, but also on the overall intelligence operation that you conduct. I'd be interested if you feel comfortable commenting on these recent developments, which are all in the public domain.
