Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement after Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen announced the termination of diplomatic relations with El Salvador:
"Proud, confident nations that aspire to great-power status don't obsess about the diplomatic relations of their small neighbors. This latest round of bullying only highlights how successful President Tsai's recent trip to the U.S. was. The Chinese Communist Party should know that every time it bullies a country into severing ties with Taiwan it only strengthens the bonds between the U.S. and the Taiwanese people."
