“Sadly, Taiwan has been prevented from participating in global meetings, most recently the World Health Organization, because of objections by the Chinese Communist Party. While they may prevent Taiwan from sending its leaders to global forums, they cannot prevent world leaders or anyone from travelling to Taiwan to pay respect to its flourishing democracy, to highlight its many successes and to reaffirm our commitment to continued collaboration.”

“The US should move from strategic ambiguity to strategic clarity on cross-strait affairs and re-examine its one China policy. It is my personal view that the one China policy has outlived its usefulness and that it is time to move away from strategic ambiguity. I think it is important that we begin that national discussion back in the US, but it will help that discussion and help us educate the American people if we can also point to bold decisions being made in Taipei, such as increase in defense spending, adoption of asymmetric warfare and corresponding capabilities, lengthening conscription and making it more rigorous, and improving reserve mobilization. It is important that the American people and our leaders in Washington see that the Taiwan people are fully committed to standing up to communist China and defending themselves as democracies of the world stand behind Taiwan. We cannot allow the Chinese to rise within the international system and try to dismantle it to suit their own ends, means and values. Much has changed since the one China policy was articulated in the 1970s.”

“The People's Republic of China [PRC] has misused Resolution 2758 to prevent Taiwan's meaningful participation. Taiwan's exclusion from UN activities creates an immense cost to the nation, as well as the bloc's members. Beijing is denying the international community the ability to gain valuable contributions that Taiwan offers.”

“Our support for and defence relationship with Taiwan remains aligned against the current threat posed by the People's Republic of China. We urge Beijing to honour its commitment to the peaceful resolution of cross-Strait differences.”

“The actions we've seen by China are provocative and potentially destabilizing. What I hope is that these actions will cease because there's always the possibility of miscalculation, of miscommunication, and that's dangerous. It's very important that no one take unilateral actions that change the status quo by force. We need to see China stop these actions.”

“We do understand that Taiwan has submitted a formal request to join the CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership]. As you alluded to, we are not a party to the CPTPP, therefore, we'll have to defer to CPTPP parties regarding their views on Taiwan's potential accession. That said, we would expect that Taiwan's record as a responsible member of the World Trade Organization and Taiwan's strong embrace of democratic values would factor into the CPTPP's parties' evaluations of Taiwan as a potential candidate for accession. When it comes to Taiwan more broadly, we will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-Strait issues consistent with the wishes and the best interest of people in Taiwan - people on Taiwan, excuse me. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan.”

“There's no reason to do it militarily, and they know that. So, I think the probability is probably low, in the immediate, near-term future. My assessment in terms of capability, I think China has a ways to go to develop the actual, no-kidding capability to conduct military operations to seize through military means the entire island of Taiwan, if they wanted to do that.”

“The TAIPEI Act [Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative] has greatly strengthened our relationship with Taiwan... However, since the bill's signing last year, China has mounted pressure on international organizations to claim that Taiwan is part of China. This bill [Taiwan International Solidarity Act] adds to the TAIPEI Act in a way that would counter these attempts.”

“For too long, Beijing has distorted policies and procedures at the UN and related bodies to assert its sovereignty claims over Taiwan, often to the detriment of global health and security effort. This bipartisan legislation ensures that we stand in solidarity with this critical US partner.”

“They view it [the annexation of Taiwan] as their No 1 priority. The rejuvenation of the Chinese Communist party is at stake, very critical, as they look at the problem. My opinion is that this problem is much closer to us than most think and we have to take this on. The Chinese Communist party has generated some capabilities in the region that are designed to keep us out. The most dangerous concern is that of a military force against Taiwan.”

“The United States notes with concern the pattern of ongoing PRC attempts to intimidate its neighbors, including Taiwan. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan’s democratically elected representatives. We will stand with friends and allies to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values in the Indo-Pacific region - and that includes deepening our ties with democratic Taiwan. The United States will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues, consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people on Taiwan. The United States maintains its longstanding commitments as outlined in the Three Communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act, and the Six Assurances. We will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability. Our commitment to Taiwan is rock-solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and within the region.”

“I think it will be incumbent on the Biden administration to look for those ways and areas in which we can continue on cooperation between the U.S. and Taiwan... I'd like to see some degree of dialogue resumed [between Taiwan and China], but ultimately, that is beyond what the U.S. can wish for, or hope for and clearly that ball is fundamentally in Beijing's court.”
