RUBIO, MERKLEY REINTRODUCE BILL TO STRENGTHEN U.S.-TAIWAN RELATIONS    Marco Rubio 20231024

This year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has continued its efforts to undermine Taiwan’s vibrant democracy and engagement with the world. 今年，中國共產黨繼續努力破壞台灣充滿活力的民主和與世界的接觸。

U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) reintroduced the Taiwan Relations Reinforcement Act to update and bolster U.S. policy to support Taiwan amid China’s increased military and diplomatic aggression.  美國參議員馬可·盧比奧（佛羅裡達州共和黨）和傑夫·默克利（俄勒岡州民主黨）重新提出《台灣關係強化法案》 ，以更新和加強美國在中國軍事和外交侵略加劇之際支持台灣的政策。  

• “The Chinese Communist Party has isolated Taiwan through economic and political coercion. Beijing will stop at nothing with its predatory aggressions against Taiwan. This bipartisan bill is more important than ever as it reinforces our nation’s commitment to our democratic ally, Taiwan, and strengthens our bilateral ties.”  – Senator Rubio 「中國共產黨透過經濟和政治脅迫孤立了台灣。北京將不遺餘力地對台灣進行掠奪性侵略。這項兩黨法案比以往任何時候都更加重要，因為它加強了我們國家對我們的民主盟友台灣的承諾，並加強了我們的雙邊關係。」

• “Taiwan’s democracy is critical to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The United States’ support for Taiwan’s democracy plays a crucial role in defending that peace. The United States and Taiwan share fundamental values, and we must use diplomatic and economic tools to keep building a robust relationship with Taiwan to advance those values.” – Senator Merkley 「台灣的民主對於印太地區的和平與穩定至關重要。美國對台灣民主的支持在捍衛這種和平方面發揮著至關重要的作用。美國和台灣擁有共同的基本價值觀，我們必須利用外交和經濟手段繼續與台灣建立牢固的關係，以推進這些價值觀。」
