Examples of akin in a Sentence

1. Mrinal Patnaik:

And from there, we can hope that a safe alternative to Assad’s rule can eventually rise and support liberal elements to make it happen.

The central issue is that Beijing is hostile, predatory and highly capable, so the US must organize to defend and push back across the board.
