                        Tuesday, October 6, 2015

  Mr. TOM PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today I am proud to rise in 
support of a great friend of the United States, Taiwan. As you know, 
October 10 is the 104th National Day of the Republic of China.
  No one forgets the unbelievable sacrifices the Chinese endured 
against Imperial Japan during World War II. Nor do we forget that the 
Republic of China was in that conflict a full four years prior to the 
entry of the United States. Earlier this year, our two countries 
observed the 70th anniversary of the end of that war. After 1949, 
Taiwan held out as a key non-Communist partner during the early days of 
the Cold War. As a well-established democracy and as an economic 
powerhouse, Taiwan has set a model example for the rest of Asia and the 
world in recent years.
  Given our long shared history as allies, it is entirely appropriate 
that we share in the celebration of Taiwan's National Day. To all of my 
Taiwanese friends, I wish you a happy and joyous day.
