Former United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday called on the U.S. to stand with Taiwan after 19 Chinese military aircraft, a majority of them being fighter jets, flew into Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) early Sunday.
"The United States must always stand with Taiwan and for freedom," Pompeo said in a tweet, which also included a Bloomberg report on the Chinese warplanes' Sunday incursion.
In the same vein, former U.S. ambassador to Japan and incumbent senator William Hagerty also shared the same Bloomberg report in his twitter account on Sunday.
"Communist China & other adversaries will continue to probe the resolve of the U.S. & our allies after Biden's debacle in Afghanistan," he tweeted.
"The Senate must press the Biden Admin to adopt a stronger posture to prevent foreign aggression," Hagerty said.
