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 U.S. Under the Act, the United States sells arms to Taiwan and for all purposes under American law the island republic is treated as a state separate from China. Under the Act's protection, democracy has thrived on Taiwan, which holds a presidential election on March 20. Our afternoon session will be devoted to an analysis of that election.
