US House would confirm support for Taiwan's self-defense and peaceful future
The US House would officially state its long-held policy towards Taiwan. This means the House would publicly back Taiwan's right to defend itself and insist its future be decided peacefully. This action strengthens the current bipartisan approach to US-Taiwan relations.
Today, United States policy regarding Taiwan is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances, which emphasize peaceful resolution and support for self-defense. If this resolution passes, the House of Representatives would formally and publicly reaffirm these foundational policies and explicitly state its support for Taiwan's self-defense and opposition to any non-peaceful ways to determine Taiwan's future.
