be doing in latin america? it is. the chinese have a coherent grand strategy with mercantile relationships that will build infrastructure that will use chinese product and give certain security advantages. but it s a coherent, broad scheme. i think that the most important thing that s happening now is that in ukraine, ukrainians with our help are showing the world that authoritarian states don t always win. there s been this growing feeling that democracy, the alliances that the united states has are on the back foot. ukraine shows the opposite and i must say that china s problems in shanghai in controlling covid are also showing the limits of an authoritarian state. that s a little bit of evidence that i help will encourage our friends around the world.
