democratic interests of the United States in the Indo-Pa-
cific region; 
Whereas Taiwan continues to embody and promote demo-
cratic values, freedom, and human rights within the is-
land and throughout the surrounding region; 
Whereas trade between the United States and Taiwan con-
tributes meaningfully to our mutual economic growth; 
Whereas Taiwan implemented rapid, restrained, and effective 
policies that successfully mitigated the impacts of 
COVID–19 on the island and also played a significant 
role in distributing personal protective equipment and

damentally sabotages national, regional, and global sta-
bility and security; 
Whereas Chinese President Xi Jinping’s efforts to establish 
a ‘‘Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation’’ through 
policies that mandate national uniformity and assimila-

Whereas former Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and cur-
rent Secretary of State Antony Blinken have determined 
that the Communist government of China is actively im-
plementing a policy of genocide and crimes against hu-
manity against Uyghur and other ethnic minority groups 
in Xinjiang; 
Whereas the central government of China and party 
apparatchiks in Hong Kong have fundamentally annihi-
lated Hong Kong’s democratic system, as well as its peo-
