Today marks the 45th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA). Since being signed into law in 1979, the TRA has received strong bipartisan support in the US Congress and continues to serve as a crucial cornerstone for Taiwan-US relations. Alongside the Six Assurances, the TRA provides clear guidance on the formulation and development of Taiwan-related policies in the United States and remains of paramount importance to the security, peace, stability, and prosperity of Taiwan and the region. Demonstrating the bipartisan, principled, and rock-solid US commitment to Taiwan, the TRA has also facilitated Taiwan-US exchanges in business, culture, and other areas and continues to support Taiwan in its role as a beacon of democracy, a prosperous and dynamic economy, and a technological powerhouse.
