I think there are other options or other possibilities for working with more countries to try to see if there are ways in which we could address some of these issues.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Isn't my timing perfect? Yeah, perfect.

I echo what Ben said. I was in Korea last year and went to the DMZ.

I mean, what is the soft power available to us that could be efficacious?

I think we need to send a stronger message to those actors from the U.S.

Following these moves, it is to the White House's credit, that it announced that it would no longer support the 2018 election in Cambodia, calling it illegitimate.

We must support the efforts of our State Department. We must continue to educate. We must make sure that Kem Sokha is released.

I think that is really important for us to understand, that we have been identified as a co-conspirator in Kem Sokha's alleged crime of treason to topple the Cambodian Government.

We are in danger, without looking at it as a specific crisis but an ongoing issue, of losing Southeastern Asia, and especially losing the one country that was moving toward democracy, which will now be lost.

We must look at ways to reach out to the world, to our EU partners, our partners in Japan, who are the big trading partners of Cambodia, and speak with one voice that the world will not allow Cambodia to dissent from democracy.

Any hopeful signs in this regard in terms of good governance, civil society, political pluralism?

Can you summarize what kind of performance did we see in the FITARA scorecard for VA this time?

I think you shared with me your own personal experience in terms of health records.

We are committed on a bipartisan basis to make this happen, so we have got your back.

I think we were trying to respect a strong----

Has it gotten better? Has it gotten worse? How successful do you think the Chinese Government is in consolidating that set of policies to their end, which is basically to make Tibet Chinese, culturally, ethnically, politically?

The Dalai Lama has not--what the Dalai Lama wants with the Middle Way policy is genuine autonomy.

What percentage of Tibet today, population wise, is ethnic Han?

I call upon the Chinese Government to release Lobsang Tsering and everyone else who is a prisoner of conscience.
