Eugene S. Young: “I believe the global community of democracies would benefit from Taiwan's participation in such events.”

I share your belief that the U.S.-India relationship is underpinned by a common commitment to democracy and democratic institutions.

Yes. Taiwan is a leading democracy and a critical economic and security partner.

If Ortega chooses a non-democratic path, and if confirmed, I will join the Department's efforts to work with those partners to hold accountable those responsible and encourage a return to democracy.

If confirmed, I will continue to use all tools available to exert pressure on the junta and deny the regime international credibility.
