我還以為之前跟觀測站合作的那張天朝思想圖文是十幾年前的事情，沒想到現在又重演？？？
（以下節錄）
我先回答你第二個問題。是的，我的確支持蔡總統來國會發表演說。我最近才連署一封信敦促眾議院議長邀請她。當她先前訪問休士頓的時候，我與她單獨會面。我得說，在會前收到一封中華人民共和國寄來的信，真的超好玩的。中國政府要求我「拜託別見蔡總統」。認識我的人都知道，這種信是沒用的。但回這封信真的超好玩。我對中國政府解釋，我爽見誰就見誰。他們無權規定我能見誰，就像我也沒權規定他們能見誰。
撇開這個不談，當你見到台灣人，你就想談一談他們非凡的故事，談談他們怎麼對抗中國的壓迫，怎麼創造經濟的珍寶，成為經濟的強權。如果你想知道自由的體制和極權哪個比較好，比較台灣和中國就好了。所以，我在參議員任內，一直努力地扮演台灣最佳守護者的角色，尤其是在參議院的軍事委員會當中，年復一年致力守護台灣。我曾提出好些法案，有些過了，有些沒過。但這些法案都是為了強化我國對台關係。
觀測站剛剛分享了德州參議員克魯茲（Ted Cruz）發言挺台灣的新聞。我們幾位小編把原文影片找來看，覺得克魯茲的發言實在太精采了，所以幫大家把他講到台灣的部分做了翻譯，大家可以搭配著影片（http://bit.ly/2ticbNX）來看。
影片的場合是，克魯茲在出席華府智庫「美國企業研究所」（American Enterprise Institute, AEI），在回答中央社記者問題時，不僅大方表態挺台，甚至表示已簽署聯名信給眾議院議長佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi），要她儘快邀請台灣總統蔡英文來美國國會演講。
整段談話下來，克魯茲認為台灣對抗中國是非凡的（extraordinary）成就與任務；而他也同時提到，當之前蔡英文訪問德州休士頓時，中國政府想對他比手畫腳、要他不要見蔡英文，反而讓他更對中國反感。
#讓小編想到之前和蠢羊合作的一張圖
#再拿來發一次請看底下留言
#感謝中國不斷正常能量施放助攻

中央社 💬
Thank you. Rita Cheng from Central News Agency, Taiwan. Thank you. My question is: since that I remember you cosponsored the Taiwan Travel Act last year, right? And then President Trump also signed into the law. So I am just wondering: do you have any plan or idea to carry out the Taiwan Travel Act? Will you support President Tsai, President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen, to visit Washington DC and deliver her speech in the Congress? Is it good time or good idea to do it this year? Thank you.
謝謝你，台灣中央社Rita Cheng。謝謝。我的問題是：我記得你去年連署了台灣旅行法，而川普總統也簽署立法了。所以我想知道：你是否有計劃或打算要如何執行台灣旅行法？你是否支持蔡總統，台灣總統蔡英文，訪問華盛頓特區並在國會發表演說？今年時機恰當嗎？可行嗎？謝謝。

So let me start with the second part of your question. Yes, I support President Tsai coming and delivering a speech to Congress indeed. I just recently signed a letter, urging the speaker of the House to invite her. When she came to Houston some time ago, I met with her one on one, and I would say I was thoroughly amused prior to the meeting to receive a letter from the PRC. The government of China asked me “Please, don’t meet with President Tsai.” And, look, anyone who knows me would know that that’s such a correspondence that’s unlikely to be successful. But I had a great fun responding to that letter and explaining to the government of China that I will meet with whoever I damn will please. And they have no authority to dictate who I meet with any more than I have an authority to dictate who they meet with.

But, beyond that, listen, I meet the people of Taiwan, you want to talk about the extraordinary story of standing up against Chinese oppression, and creating an economic jewel, an economic powerhouse. You want an illustration of whether freedom or totalitarianism works, compare Taiwan and China side by side. And so in my time in the Senate, I have consistently worked to be the leading defender of Taiwan in the Senate and Senate armed services committee year after year after year. I have introduced legislations, some of which was passed, some of which was not, to strengthen our relationship with Taiwan.
撇開這個不談，當你見到台灣人，你就想談一談他們非凡的故事，談談他們怎麼對抗中國的壓迫，怎麼創造經濟的珍寶，成為經濟的強權。如果你想知道自由的體制和極權哪個比較好，比較台灣和中國就好了。所以，我在參議員任內，一直努力地扮演台灣最佳守護者的角色，尤其是在參議院的軍事委員會當中，年復一年致力守護台灣。我曾提出好些法案，有些過了，有些沒過。但這些法案都是為了強化我國對台關係。
And I think standing with our allies against, in this case, China, would fall into the basket I just described as a rival. China is constantly trying to press Taiwan into submission, constantly trying to stifle Taiwan, constantly maintaining the fiction of the One China Policy. And I think, speaking out, look, the meeting I had with President Tsai, I think, was positive and beneficial. And I hope to see her coming to Washington and deliver an address in Congress.
我認為與盟友並肩對抗中國，可以套用到我剛才說的，對抗一個敵手的概念。中國一直試圖壓迫台灣使其屈服， 一直要扼殺台灣的生存空間，一直做著一中政策的迷夢。我認為和蔡總統的會面是相當正面、有好處的。我也希望能看到她來華盛頓並在國會發表演講。
