WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott, a staunch supporter of Taiwan, released the following statement sharing his support for the installation of Taiwan’s new democratically-elected government and President Lai Ching-te. In 2022, Senator Scott visited Taiwan and met with then-President Tsai Ing-Wen and other high-ranking officials to discuss the importance of a strong U.S.-Taiwan relationship regarding trade, defense and national security policies.
華盛頓— — 今天,台灣的堅定支持者、參議員里克·斯科特發表了以下聲明,表達了他對台灣新民選政府和賴清德總統就職的支持。 2022年,史考特參議員訪問台灣,並會見了時任總統蔡英文和其他高級官員,討論了在貿易、國防和國家安全政策方面加強美台關係的重要性。
Senator Rick Scott said, “It is no secret that Taiwan has a formidable enemy in Communist China’s evil dictator, Xi Jinping, who is willing to invade Taiwan and continue his attacks against democracy in a quest for world domination. Taiwan needs American support now more than ever and today is a bright day in Taiwan as it makes history with another peaceful installation of a democratically-elected government. I’d like to congratulate President Lai Ching-te and look forward to working together as we continue to strengthen the U.S.-Taiwan relationship.”
參議員里克·斯科特表示:「眾所周知,台灣有一個強大的敵人,那就是共產主義中國的邪惡獨裁者習近平,他願意入侵台灣並繼續攻擊民主,以謀求世界統治。台灣現在比以往任何時候都更需要美國的支持,今天對台灣來說是美好的一天,因為它再次和平地建立了一個民主選舉的政府,創造了歷史。我謹向賴清德總統表示祝賀,並期待在我們繼續加強美台關係的過程中共同努力。

Senator Scott is leading several bills in the United States Senate to support Taiwan amid Communist China’s growing aggression, including the Deterring Communist Chinese Aggression Against Taiwan Through Financial Sanctions Act, which would impose devastating financial sanctions on the Chinese government if Communist China invaded or blockaded Taiwan, or attempted to change the status of Taiwan’s governance through use of force and his Taiwan Invasion Prevention Act, which reinforces the U.S.-Taiwan relationship and strengthens Taiwan’s ability to resist Communist China’s aggressive policies and military actions. He is also a co-sponsor of the bipartisan, bicameral Transpacific Allies Investing in Weapons to Advance National (TAIWAN) Security Act which would require the Secretary of Defense to enhance defense industrial base cooperation between the U.S. and Taiwan in order to deepen U.S.-Taiwan defense ties, promote supply chain security, and help alleviate Taiwan’s readiness challenges.
史考特參議員正在美國參議院領導多項法案,以在共產主義中國日益侵略的情況下支持台灣,其中包括《通過金融制裁阻止共產主義中國侵略台灣法案》,如果共產主義中國入侵或封鎖台灣,該法案將對中國政府實施毀滅性的金融制裁或試圖透過使用武力和他的《台灣侵略法案》來改變台灣的治理地位,這強化了美台關係,增強了台灣抵抗共產黨中國侵略政策和軍事行動的能力。他也是兩黨兩院《跨太平洋盟友投資武器以推進國家(台灣)安全法案》的共同發起人,該法案要求國防部長加強美國和台灣之間的國防工業基礎合作,以深化美台關係防務關係,促進供應鏈安全,並幫助緩解台灣的戰備挑戰。
