Stephen J. Yates
The current social

political leaders to foster support for Taiwan. Steve will speak to the factors affecting this climate, from
Trump’s unique foreign policy to the 40th
anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act, as well as best practices when
engaging with political leaders and the broader community.
