The United States Congress should hold a debate on the possibility of formally announcing military support for Taiwan in the event it is invaded by the Chinese regime, according to Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.)

Luria said that ending the United States’ policy of so-called strategic ambiguity, wherein the nation neither openly confirms nor denies it will militarily defend Taiwan, was vital to deterring a Chinese invasion of the island.
