’s abrupt switch to now recognize instead of Taiwan is disappointing. China’s increasingly brazen efforts to isolate & gain support for its preferred narrative can't be ignored. The U.S. & our allies must continue to support Taiwan & resist China's coercion.

The flawed elections must trigger a reset of US policy to prioritize the Congolese people. Biden Admin's past strategy of being all-in on the Tshisekedi gov’t doesn’t serve US interests to counter and risks , anti-corruption efforts & security in the DRC.
