This Resolution officially recognizes October 10, 2024, as "National Day of the Republic of China (Taiwan)" within Pennsylvania, acknowledging the historical establishment of the Republic of China in 1912 and its government's relocation to Taiwan in 1949. It highlights Taiwan's status as a diverse, democratic, and prosperous society that shares common values with the United States, emphasizing its significant role in global supply chains, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing, and its strong economic ties with Pennsylvania, including substantial trade volumes and a reopened trade office. The resolution also references the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), a key piece of U.S. legislation from 1979 that underpins the bilateral relationship and promotes peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
