Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Your Excellency, it's always great to see you. I appreciate your coming here and telling us how things are going.
Yesterday, it was reported that the People's Republic of China launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on Wednesday morning. It fell into the sea near French Polynesia. This is the first time since 1982 it's actually announced it's testing an ICBM.
Do you see this as a further escalation of hostilities in the region by the PRC?
