The war unleashed by Vladimir Putin's ambitions in the Ukraine lays bare the implications of the PRC attempt to assert moral neutrality.

You cannot govern without having your team in place.

The Chinese Communist Party is actively exporting its governance model across the hemisphere.

We simply cannot afford to let the Chinese Communist Party expand its influence and absorb Latin America and the Caribbean into its private political economic bloc.

I think we are doing more damage than we were good by putting that out.

I think that is appropriate that we think about it like that, and I think it is appropriate that we act towards that, the whole system and not just one individual.

I think that is a legitimate argument, and you make that well.
