This resolution reaffirms the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) , the Three Joint Communiques , and the Six Assurances as the cornerstones of United States policy regarding Taiwan. It underscores the broad and enduring bipartisan support for this policy, which has guided the U.S.-Taiwan relationship for decades. The resolution highlights the TRA's role in preserving extensive commercial and cultural ties, and its declaration that peace and stability in the region are vital U.S. interests. A key aspect of this policy is the expectation that Taiwan's future will be determined by peaceful means , with any non-peaceful efforts considered a threat to regional stability and a grave concern to the United States. The resolution also reiterates the U.S. commitment to providing Taiwan with defensive arms and maintaining the capacity to resist any coercion against the people of Taiwan. It recalls the Reagan Administration's clarifications that the U.S. did not agree to end arms sales, consult with Beijing on sales, or pressure Taiwan into negotiations. The resolution acknowledges Taiwan's transformation into a robust democracy and its significant role in the global economy, further solidifying congressional backing for Taiwan's self-defense and firmly opposing any efforts to determine Taiwan's future through non-peaceful methods.
