Bill Summary

Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should resume normal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, negotiate a bilateral free trade agreement with Taiwan, and support Taiwans membership in international organizations.

AI Summary

This resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should take several significant steps to support Taiwan, a democratic nation that has maintained de facto independence from the People's Republic of China for over 70 years. Specifically, the resolution calls on the President to abandon the "One China Policy" and recognize Taiwan as an independent country, normalize diplomatic relations by appointing ambassadors to and from Taiwan, remove restrictions on communication between U.S. and Taiwanese officials, negotiate a bilateral free trade agreement, and advocate for Taiwan's membership in international organizations like the United Nations. The resolution highlights Taiwan's democratic achievements, including multiple peaceful transfers of power through democratic elections, and argues that the current U.S. policy does not reflect the reality of Taiwan's sovereignty. It also references historical support for Taiwan by past U.S. presidents, including Reagan's "Six Assurances" and previous administrations' statements about peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues, ultimately portraying Taiwan as a steadfast ally of the United States that deserves full diplomatic recognition and support.
