Reaffirming congressional support for the Taiwan Relations Act and longstanding bipartisan Taiwan policy.

This resolution reaffirms congressional support for the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) , which is identified as the cornerstone of the United States-Taiwan relationship, characterized by broad bipartisan support. The TRA established critical U.S. policy elements, including preserving extensive commercial and cultural ties, declaring regional peace and stability as U.S. interests, and expecting Taiwan's future to be determined by peaceful means. It further mandates providing Taiwan with defensive arms and maintaining the U.S. capacity to resist any use of force or coercion that would jeopardize Taiwan's security or social and economic system. The resolution emphasizes the longstanding one China policy , which has been guided by the TRA, the three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances . These assurances clarified that the U.S. did not agree to set a date for ending arms sales to Taiwan, consult with the People's Republic of China on such sales, or mediate between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China. Furthermore, the U.S. did not agree to revise the TRA, take a position regarding sovereignty over Taiwan, or exert pressure on Taiwan to enter into negotiations with the People's Republic of China. Since the TRA's enactment, the United States and Taiwan have significantly strengthened their commercial, cultural, and other ties, with Taiwan emerging as a key part of the global economy and a robust democracy. Therefore, the House of Representatives reaffirms the TRA, the three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances as cornerstones of U.S. policy, supporting Taiwan's self-defense and opposing any non-peaceful efforts to determine its future.
