Taiwan envoy urges congressional action, warns of rising China threat after meeting lawmakers

Taiwan’s top envoy urges the U.S. Senate to pass tax legislation and speed up foreign military sales amid rising threats from China in the Indo-Pacific region.

"We appreciate the United States prioritizing Taiwan and helping us strengthen our defense capabilities," Yui said. "We’re cheering on more military commitments to the states and [a] joint effort to speed up the delivery of the products that we bought."

Yui called on the Senate to advance a stalled double taxation agreement, which has already cleared the House.
