Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on May 24 that the United States should send a message to the Chinese Communist Party by selling more weapons to Taiwan and helping the Ukrainians win their war with Russia.
By helping the Ukrainians defeat Russia, he said, the United States could demonstrate to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping that asymmetrical warfare was possible, and that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would end in grave harm to the Chinese people.
