Taiwan envoy urges congressional action, warns of rising China threat after meeting lawmakers
Taiwan's top envoy to the U.S. urged the Senate to ease tax burdens between the two countries and asked Congress to fast-track foreign military sales, following a closed-door lunch Wednesday with the House. Ambassador Alexander Tah-Ray Yui, Taipei's top representative in Washington, told Fox News Digital that he is encouraged that U.S. leaders recognize the urgent existential threat China poses, but emphasized the need to get weapons into the hands of the Taiwanese military more quickly and to address issues impeding two-way investment. "We appreciate the United States prioritizing Taiwan and helping us strengthen our defense capabilities," Yui said. "We're cheering on more military commitments to the states and [a] joint effort to speed up the delivery of the products that we bought." Yui called on the Senate to advance a stalled double taxation agreement, which has already cleared the House. Robert Maginnis: 9 Signs Beijing's Taiwan Invasion May Be Imminent "That's an important incentive for Taiwanese companies to come to the United States and invest – but also vice versa for U.S. companies to go to Taiwan," he said. "We are the only one of the large trading partners without this treatment, which is worrying for the whole country right now." Read On The Fox News App By a vote of 423 to 1, the House last Congress passed the United States-Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act, legislation that prevents double taxation on cross-border investments. The ambassador also offered a sobering assessment of China's increasingly belligerent posture in the Taiwan Strait and across the Indo-Pacific. "We are concerned," Yui said. "The [People's Liberation] Army and Navy are increasing their activities around Taiwan, harassing our territorial waters and airspace. These provocations are constant." While emphasizing that "we don't want war," he noted that the U.S. and regional partners have begun ramping up their own defenses, recognizing the threat.

August Pfluger, who chairs the influential RSC, told Fox News Digital that the meeting was a show of solidarity with Taiwan's democratic government and a rebuke of China's authoritarian policies. "China is an existential threat to Taiwan," said Pfluger, a Texas Republican. "The difference between mainland China and Taiwan is how they treat human life. Taiwan values openness. China suppresses free speech, targets groups like the Uyghur Muslims – it's deeply concerning." The lunch meeting, attended by dozens of House Republicans, comes amid rising tensions in the region – but just as President Donald Trump announced a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping to ease the trade war. While Pfluger did not commit to further supplemental aid, he said he supports efforts by both nations to strengthen military readiness, including Taiwan's move to increase defense spending to 3% of GDP. "It stands to reason that Taiwan increasing their own internal spending on defense, as well as the U.S. recapitalizing our Navy and Air and Space Forces, is vitally important," he said. Asked what message Congress wants to send to the Taiwanese people, Pfluger was unequivocal: "We stand by them – as an ally, as a trading partner, as a democracy facing tyranny just next door." The conversation came at a time when U.S. military officials are warning China is readying for battle in the Indo-Pacific in an effort to "dominate" the region. "Beijing is preparing for war in the Indo-Pacific as part of its broader strategy to dominate that region and then the world," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Congress this week. He added that such an outcome could put the U.S. economy and its supply chains in a choke hold. "China is undertaking a historic military buildup and actively rehearsing for an invasion of Taiwan," he said. "These aggressive maneuvers are not routine exercises, they are rehearsals for a forced unification," Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, added in his own testimony. Taiwan has recently renewed an effort to purge its ranks of Chinese sympathizers, indicting four people on Tuesday suspected of spying for China that had infiltrated the presidential office. Two Chinese aircraft carriers spotted conducting operations in the Pacific demonstrated the country's "expansionist" aims, Taiwan Defense Minister Wellington Koo said Wednesday. "Crossing from the first island chain into the second island chain sends a definite political message and their expansionist nature can be seen," he told reporters in Taipei. The first island chain refers to the region from Japan to Taiwan and the Philippines to Borneo and the second island chain spreads farther into the Pacific, toward the U.S. territory of article source: Taiwan envoy urges congressional action, warns of rising China threat after meeting lawmakers

How to play Disney's Hulu deal, according to Creekmur Wealth Advisors' investment chief
John Creekmur, chief investment officer at the Illinois-based Creekmur Wealth Advisors, said that Disney is a buying opportunity after it took full control of Hulu . Shares of the entertainment giant were up more than 2% on Tuesday after Disney agreed to pay Comcast $438.7 million for its stake in Hulu. The move has been in the works for a few years, with Disney announcing in 2023 that it planned to buy Comcast's 33% stake in Hulu. Creekmur appeared on "Three-Stock Lunch" Tuesday, sharing his takes on Disney, Taiwan Semiconductor and J.M. Smucker. Walt Disney Company Disney's acquisition of Hulu is a "strong move" that only makes the media conglomerate more attractive, the investor said. The investor, who noted Hulu is the most profitable of Disney's three subscription services, said he sees a price target of $133 for the stock. That implies upside of 12% from Tuesday's close. "We love Disney right now," Creekmur said. Taiwan Semiconductor The Taiwanese chip company could be due for a bit of a pullback after a big June rally. Shares are up nearly 10% this month amid a broader advance in chip stocks. The stock was up more than 2% Tuesday, after the company reported a boost in May revenue . "The price got a little bit ahead, especially with the huge announcement today," the investor said. "We're looking for a little pullback. So we're on a hold right now. A pullback to that $192 to $195 range, then we're looking at acquiring pretty aggressively at that point. And then we do see strong momentum all the way to $240." The stock closed Tuesday at $212.46, and a decline to $192 suggests downside of more than 9%. A rebound from that level to $240 would represent 25% upside. J.M. Smucker J.M. Smucker 's disappointing quarterly revenue is another reason to stay away from the stock, the investor said. "We have kind of been sour on Smucker ever since the middle of last year," he said. "And we knew, with inflation going up, the cost of their inputs, and also the cost of labor increasing so drastically, their pricing is very inelastic, which is squeezing margins." "We'd stay away from Smuckers right now," he added. Disclosure: Comcast owns NBCUniversal, the parent company of CNBC.
