"Public opposition to Taiwan's participation in international organizations"

I feel like this one is a lot softer than the others. Just to take an example, Clinton did this and also sent carriers to waters near Taiwan when China launched the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis

What happens if Rubio is confirmed but then leaves before the end of Trump’s term

@jdilla if none of these have happened, resolves NO immediately
