00:00 With regard to my meeting with my friend Mei Li,
00:03 what I said very specifically is that I
00:06 raised a range of different concerns
00:08 that we have in areas of disagreement,
00:10 and in particular, my very strong concerns
00:12 about any interference in our parliamentary democracy, which
00:15 is obviously unacceptable.
00:17 Well, as I said, we discussed a range of things,
00:19 and I raised areas where there are disagreements.
00:21 And this is just part of our strategy
00:24 to protect ourselves, protect our values and our interests,
00:27 to align our approach to China with that of our allies,
00:30 like America, Australia, Canada, Japan, and others,
00:33 but also to engage where it makes sense.
00:35 And actually, I think the right thing to do
00:37 is take the opportunity to engage,
00:39 to raise concerns specifically, rather than just shouting
00:42 from the sidelines.
