The island of Taiwan, governed by the Republic of China (ROC), is located about 100 miles east of mainland China in the East China Sea. The ROC government fled to Taiwan in 1949 after fighting a civil war with Mao Zedong and the Communist Chinese Party. Since then, the ROC has exercised effective control over Taiwan and several outlying islands. The people of this democratic country believe they are a sovereign nation, but Communist China steadfastly maintains that Taiwan is part of China. It has threatened a forceful reunification if necessary. China refuses to have diplomatic relations with any country which recognizes Taiwan. Only Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Holy See, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Nicaragua, Palau, Paraguay, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Swaziland and Tuvalu have embassies in Taiwan. Due to Chinese pressure, we broke off relations with Taiwan when we terminated our mutual defense treaty in 1979. But in 2019, much to China I oppose reforming current Taiwan policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Leader Charles Schumer (NY). I support: 1.) The director of the American Institute, a private organization that represents U.S. interests in Taiwan and provides consular services in Taiwan's Taipei office, shall be subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. 2.) U.S. government departments and agencies (a.) may not formally or informally recognize China's claims of sovereignty over Taiwan without the assent of Taiwan's people, as expressed through the democratic process; (b.) shall treat Taiwan's elected government as the legitimate representative of Taiwan's people; and (c.) shall end the practice of referring to Taiwan's government as authorities. 3.) The State Department shall establish the U.S.-Taiwan Cultural Exchange Foundation, which shall work with schools to send U.S. high school and university students to Taiwan to study the Chinese language, politics and other subjects. 4.) The State Department shall develop and implement a strategy to respond to Chinese government attempts to use misinformation, media manipulation, economic coercion, and other strategies against Taiwan or persons in Taiwan. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Sen. Marco Rubio (FL) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
