inadequate data limit our ability to serve all asian americans and pacific islanders. federal data on aapi people failed to capture differences across ethnic backgrounds. grouping um aapi people into one supercategory erases important distinctions in cultural traditions and lived experiences. blunt data instruments cannot produce targeted policy solutions to the dangers aapi communities face like hate crimes. in california, aapi anti-aapi hate crimes are up 177%. but some communities experience these threats more acutely. for example, a recent survey found vietnamese communities are 38% more likely to worry about hate crimes than other aapi communities. i'm leading efforts to fund community-based solutions to anti-aapi hate crimes. but making these tools even more effective requires data that identify at-risk groups. official data must guide our efforts to keep our aapi neighbors safe. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from wyoming, ms. hageman, for five minutes. ms. hageman: madam speaker, i rise today to talk about yet anothe

i am proud to be a part of that as an asian american pacific islander women of color. i think is important that our perspectives are heard, but more portly havoc we keep that door open and make sure others followers. >> what you think your ancestors would say to you is now a member of congress? rep. tokuda: don't screw up. i think definitely there would be private, but i have always been raised with humility and response billy, that was something that was imparted on me over and over again, growing up. it is not about you. it is about how we make sure that you do goodbye -- by your family, by your community and by others. that is a huge response ability that we all bear, but also think ability part is very important. i think back to my 12 years in the hawaii state senate, people asked me what was the most important thing. it was to be humble. there are so many opportunities to be full of yourself, so many opportunities to think it is just about you. you make the decision. really it is not. it's is not about you. those are some of the final words i stated when i left, a

about 14% of our appointees identify as asian american, native hawaiian, or pacific islander.the president made it a priority to make sure he has an administration that looks like the country. and that is incredibly and historically diverse. that is a commitment he will continue to make. i will not get ahead of the president's decision at this time. >> a topic you brought up with john kirby earlier. you said neither you nor he has hit your prime yet. did the president have anything to say about the national conversation sparked after a claim seemingly made in defense of the president that nikki haley is not in their prime because women hit is their prime in their 20's, 30's, and 40's? >> i won't comment directly to that. that is something that clearly needs to be addressed by -- >> i only bring it up because you brought it up. >> i want to say something. just give me a second. when you look at this president's administration, and we talked about the numbers before, there are more 1 -- women in his senior advisory and senior staff roles than men. think about that. you see a pre

look at what they're doing bullying taiwan and the philippines and the south pacific islands. look at what they're doing, continuing to steal our intellectual property. look at what they're doing with great power competition. look at what they're doing in the economic sector. look at what tiktok is doing, surveilling our children. the munich conference, he should be having the u.s. delegation say the chinese communist party is our adversary, they are not a competitor, they are a part of the axis of evil with russia, iran and north korea, and we should let it be known we are not going to stand for this. but this president will not hold them to account. maria: yeah. when you look at the elephant in the room, this cbo warning this week that our national debt is on track to double. $19 trillion additional debt expected in the next decade. st the unsustainable -- it's unsustainable if something is not done about it, and yet joe biden refuses to have a conversation about cutting spending. >> well, you're right about that, and that is why i've offered my bills that i do every year. l

further conflict and intimidation against japan the pan and against the philippines and other pacific islands like guam. under asia's new reigning power china could restrict u.s. trade and maybe block it altogether. maybe they would allow us and that only on terms favorable to china. china has exported the global trade system before. now imagine if they could do it again as a truly global scale. we recently witnessed a chinese spy balloon go across united states, right across my home state of missouri over our military installations. that was the fault of the semester of the demonstration. imagine a world where chinese warships could control hawaii's waters and california. imagine a world where the people's liberation army has military defenses in central and south america. imagine a world where chinese forces operate freely and the gulf of mexico and the atlantic ocean. that's a future we'll be facing if we are able to finally stop china. it's a future. it's an increasingly plausible future but it's not yet yet an inevitable future. there is still time to chart a different course that we hav

now the ccp, looking at taiwan, and the pacific islands. they are there, the election in taiwan, they want to suppress the people and their religious freedom in that region of the world and putin's war crimes cannot go without notice. jim and i worked hard on the war crimes bill, we got past in the national defense authorization bill which was a great step forward but the religious persecution, you mentioned the muslims, very peaceful, loving muslims who were persecuted in pakistan. it is sad to see that is still happening in this world today. >> i appreciate that and offer a question if you are open to it. you invoked putin, talking about china with representative mcgovern, the religious freedom is a national security issue. if we look at what is happening in the world, that is true. also, there are economic questions. that plays into who are we willing to hold accountable and who are we not. i would love to hear you reflect on what mechanisms we need in place to ensure we are standing up to all perpetrators of religious persecution regard

and its focus is on asian american and pacific islander voices and stories. third state said its first title will be, quote, not your model minority by diane lim. and at expect it out in early 2024. and one other book deal that we want to note, former uk prime minister boris johnson has signed a book deal with william collins. that's the uk based branch of harpercollins. it's worth about $630,000. it's about his time on downing street. no title or publication date yet. set. and now a discussion on the great books of western civilization, according to michael knowles. he hosts a program and podcast called the book club for prager, u. here's a portion. a book club? yeah. is a fabulous thing. like books. i was making fun of you at the book club with a bookshelf, with no books, sort of sparse. it's a new show. but. but, you know, i'm reminded of the opening of the princess bride in my time. television was called books. and in this case, books. yes. it's called podcast. that's right. so it's all a continuum. so i have to admit, when when when you ask me to do this

so i mean if you take something like the pacific island, for example, where china has worked on building variety of areas, not just security cooperation also economically, they've worked on building influence. that's an area where the u.s. has not enter recently focused a lot of our security engagement as well asit foreign policy efforts on that area. they look for areas like that where they can sort of gain advantage, whether u.s. made is isn't paying as much attention but also where their strategic locations that they might beio able to take advantage of. i think it's sort of a two-part thing. >> i would say with u.s. allies and partners, we typically have very good security relationship and very robust one bit if they can. what they're from china and what they're getting from us, what the dialogue with china is, what the dialogue with us, , it's entirely different, much more substantive in the relations with the u.s. for our allies and partners if they're doing things with china it's because they want to learn about china or manage the relationship with china, and the help they need i
