Legislative Progress

Key Points
- This resolution states that the Senate still supports the Taiwan Relations Act. This law has guided how the United States works with Taiwan for decades. It focuses on keeping peace in the region and maintaining trade and cultural ties.
- The proposal makes it clear that the United States expects the future of Taiwan to be decided peacefully. It says that any attempt to use force, boycotts, or threats against Taiwan would be a major concern for the United States.
- It reaffirms that the United States will continue to sell defensive weapons to Taiwan. This helps Taiwan protect itself and ensures the United States can resist any pressure that would hurt Taiwan's security or economy.
- The resolution mentions the Six Assurances made during the Reagan administration. These include promises not to set a date for ending arms sales and not to pressure Taiwan into negotiations with China.
