Eni Faleomavaega: “I want to associate myself with the most eloquent statement presented by Ms. Hirono before our Committee.”

Reaffirming the peaceful and collaborative resolution of maritime and jurisdictional disputes in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

I have always complained about the fact that we did not seem to pay attention to the Asia-Pacific Region from previous administrations.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I want to thank you for holding today's hearing on U.S.-China relations.

I just want to personally thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for your leadership in having this hearing today.
