‘The Inauguration Isn’t Until May’: Dan Sullivan on China’s Aggressive Behavior Toward Taiwan

EXCERPT:

SULLIVAN: “Well, it’s not surprising. And we knew that on the eve of the presidential elections — by the way, Bret, it’s their eighth presidential election. And so, we knew on the eve of that the Chinese are going to be very aggressive and they have been. The setup piece shows how aggressive they have been. But it’s going to continue. The inauguration isn’t until May. And so, one of the things that Senator Duckworth and I did was we worked hard on a Senate resolution. 50 bipartisan supporters of that, passed unanimously right before the election saying, ‘hey, the United States is very focused and supportive of Taiwanese democracy, deterrence in the Taiwan Strait, and making sure Beijing is not aggressively trying to undermine their democracy.’ So, having the U.S. Senate on record, all 100 senators, we think is important but there is a lot more work to do.”
