CONGRATULATING THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON THEIR NATIONAL DAY
______
HON. MICHELLE FISCHBACH
of minnesota
in the house of representatives
Friday, October 8, 2021
Mrs. FISCHBACH. Madam Speaker, I send my congratulations to the Republic of China on the upcoming October 10th celebration of Taiwan's National Day.
Taiwan's democratic model of government serves as a role model to other nations. The people of Taiwan's dedication to elections that are open, free, and fair shows their commitment to freedom. The United States and Taiwan share a strong bond over our mutual commitment to the personal freedom for our citizens and for the citizens of the world.
The United States and Taiwan have shared a trade partnership with each other that brings benefit to both nations. I am proud that in 2018. Taiwan made a deal with the United States to buy $1.5 billion in soybeans from my State of Minnesota and neighboring Iowa. This powerful relationship helps to promote the prosperity of businesses and citizens both in Taiwan and the United States.
Once again, I wish to express my congratulations on this 110th anniversary of Taiwan's National Day.
