00:00Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has emphasized U.S. support for Taiwan will
00:05continue regardless of the outcome of the upcoming presidential election.
00:09I am confident that this commitment will remain and that our friends and allies and partners
00:16in the region will join us in this important task.
00:19And when we do, the Chinese Communist Party will come to see that this effort that they
00:25are undertaking to undermine the political autonomy of Taiwan is silly, makes no sense.
00:33Speaking at a seminar hosted by the Hudson Institute, Pompeo criticized the Chinese Communist
00:38Party's suppression of rights, specifically in Hong Kong.
00:42He also said that more U.S. officials should visit Taiwan to help the world recognize its
00:46sovereignty.
00:47Pompeo noted that during his previous role, Taiwan's status was a consistent topic during
00:52meetings with Chinese officials, and that decoupling Taiwan from China was a key action
00:57for the U.S. government.
00:59The seminar was co-organized with the Taiwan United Nations Alliance and focused on Taiwan's
01:03role on the international stage.
