"Taiwan is a democracy. It is a loyal friend and ally, and it deserves to be treated as such by the United States Government."

"The only way we can change that is to amend it."

"the repression that they have seen, particularly in China, is shameful and some of the photos of the torture they have gone through are extremely disturbing."

"This bill reiterates to the world, and more importantly, it tells the Taiwanese people just how deeply we value that friendship."
