Bipartisan leadership of the House China Select Committee believe that sending congressional delegations to Taiwan could “improve the chances of peace” in the Taiwan Strait.
Wisconsin Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher explains Russia and China's threat to the world on "The Story."
Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., and his Democrat counterparts on the House China Committee signaled that they won't stop visiting Taiwan. "I think it enhances the partnership between the United States and Taiwan and thereby improves the chance that peace will be preserved across the strait," Gallagher said."I understand that the Chinese Communist Party and the PLA throw a fit every time someone visits."Gallagher and Khanna's visit coincided with Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for China Michael Chase's trip to Taiwan, which prompted sharp criticism from the Chinese Foreign Office.
"Taiwan understands that, at times, these delegations that are coming can create some challenge, but they said that is preparation for them," Khanna said."They welcome them, and they don’t view them as a burden."
