AdvantagesWhat are the benefits for solving your harms and
overcoming your inherency?This focuses on an impact levelChina has a growing influence because the U.S. is not

real warMenu

Prima Fascia“THISPA” are the requirements to make up a Prima
Fascia case.If your not Prima Fascia you lose
You need all of the Stock Issues to be Prima FasciaSo what if they “take out” your Harms card?

Special Note: Topicality is an exception

Cuba it will lower China’s influence
