I think it is something that needs to be put back there.

I think the Taiwan Travel Act is a historic piece of legislation that sets a tone for a new era in our relationship with Taiwan and around the world.

But we can't simply cede the control and the rules of the game in the relationship to Beijing.

I support this legislation completely, and I would like to see it in the future expand to cover other forms of research.

Nobody is recognizing that today other than maybe Taiwan and, you know, the United States.

The U.S. and Taiwan's shared commitment to principles such as human rights, freedom of speech, democratic norms, certainly rule of law; all of that serves as a bedrock of this partnership that we have.

If they do that to Taiwan, who is next? Who are they going to look at next?

Chairman Chabot's Taiwan Travel Act... became law last month and is a shining example of how Congress can do this.

We contribute three times more than China. We put in $59 million versus 19, but yet it seems like the WHO bowed to them.

Keeping Taiwan out can only hurt global health and there should be no question about Taiwan's participation this year.

If we can't say those things in the open, I think we are in a very dangerous situation in the world.

If we don't do it now and start recognizing that is it going to be easier or harder 3 to 5 years from now?
