This report, updated as warranted, discusses U.S. security
assistance to Taiwan, or Republic of China (ROC), including policy
issues for Congress and legislation. Congress has oversight of the
Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), P.L. 96-8, which has governed arms
sales to Taiwan since 1979, when the United States recognized the
People's Republic of China (PRC) instead of the ROC. Two other
relevant parts of the "one China" policy are the August 17, 1982,
U.S.-PRC Joint Communique and the "Six Assurances" to Taiwan. U.S.
arms sales to Taiwan have been significant. The United States also
expanded military ties with Taiwan after the PRC's missile firings
in 1995-1996. However, the U.S.-ROC Mutual Defense Treaty
terminated in 1979.
