The purpose and scope of this CRS report is to provide a succinct
overview with analysis of the major issues in the U.S. policy on
Taiwan. This report will be updated as warranted. Taiwan formally
calls itself the sovereign Republic of China (ROC), tracing its
political lineage to the ROC set up after the revolution in 1911 in
China. The ROC government retreated to Taipei in 1949. The United
States recognized the ROC until the end of 1978 and has maintained
a nondiplomatic relationship with Taiwan after recognition of the
People's Republic of China (PRC) in Beijing in 1979. The State
Department claims an "unofficial" U.S. relationship with Taiwan,
despite official contacts that include arms sales. The Taiwan
Relations Act (TRA) of 1979, P.L. 96-8, has governed policy in the
absence of a diplomatic relationship or a defense treaty. Other key
statements that guide policy are the three U.S.-PRC Joint
Communiques of 1972, 1979, and 1982; as well as the "Six
Assurances" of 1982. (See also CRS Report RL30341, China/Taiwan:
Evolution of the "One China" Policy-Key Statements from Washington,
Beijing, and Taipei.)
