| Twenty-five years ago the Congress passed a unique law--the Taiwan Relations Act, Public Law 96-8. The Act sets out the parameters of America's relationship with both the People's Republic of China and with Taiwan, stating that Chinese use of military force against Taiwan would be regarded as a threat to the peace of the region and a matter of "grave concern" to the United States. Under the Act, the United States sells arms to Taiwan; under American law, the island republic is treated as a state separate from China. With the Act's protection, democracy has thrived on Taiwan. Please join AEI and the Heritage Foundation to analyze the future of the Taiwan Relations Act and the impact of the recent election and referendum in Taiwan. A keynote address will be delivered by Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kansas). |
