                        Friday, October 8, 2021

  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Madam Speaker, I send my congratulations to the 
Republic of China on the upcoming October 10th celebration of Taiwan's 
National Day.
  Taiwan's democratic model of government serves as a role model to 
other nations. The people of Taiwan's dedication to elections that are 
open, free, and fair shows their commitment to freedom. The United 
States and Taiwan share a strong bond over our mutual commitment to the 
personal freedom for our citizens and for the citizens of the world.
  The United States and Taiwan have shared a trade partnership with 
each other that brings benefit to both nations. I am proud that in 
2018. Taiwan made a deal with the United States to buy $1.5 billion in 
soybeans from my State of Minnesota and neighboring Iowa. This powerful 
relationship helps to promote the prosperity of businesses and citizens 
both in Taiwan and the United States.
  Once again, I wish to express my congratulations on this 110th 
anniversary of Taiwan's National Day.
