Rep. Dusty Johnson met with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen to discuss Taiwan’s security issues. (Submitted)

Business and political leaders in Taiwan have a deepening understanding of the threat posed by China, and they are taking action, Rep. Dusty Johnson said.

Johnson was among a bipartisan group of lawmakers with the Select Committee on China who visited Taiwan near the end of February. He called his first trip to the island off the coast of mainland China “eye opening.”

VIEWPOINT | Why privatize $122 million in public money?

Johnson spoke with The Dakota Scout last week.

Taiwan just elected a new president, and Johnson met with both the president and president-elect on the trip. Communist China has been attempting to reunify with Taiwan since nationalists fled to the island 75 years ago after communists took over the country following a civil war at the end of World War II.

POINT | South Dakota senators failed to protect children from pornography

COUNTERPOINT | Age verification bill will not keep your kids safer, will risk privacy
