69.21: Taiwan
Other Information:
We salute the people of Taiwan, a sound democracy and economic model for mainland China. Our relations must continue to be
based upon the provisions of the Taiwan Relations Act. America and Taiwan are united in our shared belief in fair elections,
personal liberty, and free enterprise. We oppose any unilateral steps by either side to alter the status quo in the Taiwan
Straits on the principle that all issues regarding the island’s future must be resolved peacefully, through dialogue, and
be agreeable to the people of Taiwan. If China were to violate those principles, the U.S., in accord with the Taiwan Relations
Act, will help Taiwan defend itself. We praise steps taken by both sides of the Taiwan Strait to reduce tension and strengthen
economic ties. As a loyal friend of America, Taiwan has merited our strong support, including free trade agreements status,
as well as the timely sale of defensive arms and full participation in the World Health Organization, International Civil
Aviation Organization, and other multilateral institutions.
