Krishnamoorthi, Moolenaar Statement on Chinese Military Drills Encircling Taiwan

WASHINGTON D.C. – Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party today released the following statement in response to the Chinese military drills encircling Taiwan. 

“The Chinese Communist Party’s brazen attempt to intimidate Taiwan following its free and fair elections and the inauguration of President Lai Ching-te is completely unacceptable. This action only reinforces the need for the U.S. to take concrete steps to help strengthen Taiwan’s defenses and deter the CCP’s aggression. The United States and the international community must stand firm with our friends in Taiwan as they face the CCP’s unfounded attempts to intimidate democratic societies around the world.”
