It s really too soon to tell. It is the hope of this administration, as I see it, that, in fact, we will now be moving into a different area, and that the series of peaks and troughs that we ve seen in relations over the years will begin to smooth out and even out. It s too soon to tell. I would argue the dictatorship is getting stronger. Crackdowns are on the rise, not the decline.
Religious freedom is on the rise, or persecution.
I m sorry. Our time is up. But thank you very much.
