Because again, you inherit whatever the worst moment those countries have. If we talk about what's happening with the Uighurs over and over again, well, the conditions for the Uighur might get better. So these relationships, like the one between the PGA and Liv, have highlighted what happened to Jamal Khashoggi. It will highlight what happened to the blogger Rafi who is being cained for saying things that the government didn't agree with.
