Reaffirming congressional support for the Taiwan Relations Act and longstanding bipartisan Taiwan policy.
This resolution reaffirms the House of Representatives' support for the Taiwan Relations Act and longstanding bipartisan U.S. policy toward Taiwan. It highlights key provisions such as maintaining commercial and cultural ties, emphasizing regional peace, and providing Taiwan with defensive arms. The document also reiterates the Six Assurances, which clarify that the U.S. does not set a date for ending arms sales, will not mediate between Taiwan and China, and will not pressure Taiwan to negotiate with China. By restating these principles, the bill aims to reinforce the current framework without introducing new legal obligations or changing existing policy.
