"I applaud the Biden administration for its work to strengthen our partnership with Taiwan."

"I do not believe that we are entering a new cold war with China, but we can draw upon lessons from U.S.-Soviet and U.S.-Russia transparency."

"I am concerned that we do not have an active crisis hotline between our militaries."

"Taiwan serves as a powerful counter example proving that reports of democracy's demise are unfounded."
