Wicker told Taiwan President Lai Ching-te during a meeting at the presidential office in Taipei that he and his colleague, Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), were visiting to get a better understanding of Taiwan’s needs and concerns. 

“We come here from the United States bringing a message from the Congress of commitment, of long-term friendship and a determination that a free country like Taiwan absolutely has the right to remain free and preserve self-determination,” Wicker said. 

The Chinese regime, which regularly denounces any shows of support for Taipei from Washington, repeated its opposition to Wicker’s trip. The Chinese regime firmly opposes any official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, the Chinese foreign ministry said. 

Wicker is visiting democratically governed Taiwan, which China’s ruling Communist Party views as its own territory, as Beijing ratchets up its military pressure on the island.
