While investment in D.C. is important and should be continued, there is one group that elected officials will listen to above all: their constituents. One of the greatest lessons from my time in politics is that voters care a great deal about the United States position on the international stage; however, their daily focus is spent on the things directly impacting their lives. With a bit of strategic investment in business and education in targeted areas, Taiwan can have a great influence on voters, indirectly influencing American elected officials.
