                 NATIONAL DAY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA

                                 ______

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 9, 2015

  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the National 
Day of the Republic of China, commonly known as Double Ten Day, on 
October 10.
  The United States and Taiwan maintain strong economic and cultural 
ties as evidenced by the fact that Taiwan is now our 10th largest 
trading partner.
  In Connecticut, we are particularly close with the people of Taiwan. 
Connecticut is the proud home to thousands of people born in Taiwan and 
countless children and grandchildren of immigrants from Taiwan.
  I would like to extend my congratulations and best wishes to the 
people of Taiwan and all Connecticut residents of Taiwanese descent. 
Happy Double Ten Day.
