How positions are measured

One poleWe must strengthen our alliance with China, remove all trade barriers, and fully integrate our economies and policies, endorsing their leadership and governance model.

Other poleWe must sever all diplomatic ties with China immediately, condemn their heinous human rights abuses, and impose severe sanctions, as the regime poses a direct threat to our values, security, and global stability, undermining any credibility in their negotiations on critical issues like Xinjiang and Tibet.
