I have been a strong supporter of the Taiwan-U.S. relationship.

Criminals and diseases benefit by excluding Taiwan from organizations designed to combat crime and disease.

I am told there are soybeans ready to export across the Pacific that may not be purchased in another country.

I am very concerned that China has tried to keep Taiwan out of international organizations.

I want to take this moment, also, to voice my support for the other bills that are before us.

Should we do something equally? Or does the fact that they wall off parts of their economy have no effect on our CFIUS decisions?

This is an important bill. I think it needs to be stronger.

It should be explicit that only under truly extraordinary circumstances would we entertain an application from a company based in any country that is a state sponsor of terrorism.

We should regard them all as arms of the Chinese government.

It would be interesting to go and campaign to our constituents and say, I stood firm in the Financial Services Committee against considering American jobs when we make American financial decisions.

you wage war and peace with the President you have, not the President you wish you had.

What consumers and businesses want is not a lurch to the left or a lurch to the right and then another lurch to the left, but steady and ascertainable regulations.
