The purpose and scope of this CRS report is to provide a succinct
overview with analysis of the issues in the U.S.-Taiwan
relationship. 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 non-diplomatic 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.)
