TAIPEI, Taiwan—Washington-based Freedom House, a nonprofit partially funded by the U.S. government, has taken to its Facebook page on July 16 to voice support for Taiwan amid the Chinese regime’s increased pressure.

“The more Taiwan delivers democratic freedoms to its people, the more Beijing responds with table thumping, harsh demands, and threats,” Freedom House wrote.
