On March 24, the United States House of Representatives approved
a resolution reaffirming "its unwavering commitment to the Taiwan

United States and Taiwan." Nothing is permanent on Capitol

close as it comes. Join us as we explore the depth of that
commitment and its future with Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC) and
Congressional staff members past and present.
