#Taiwan_Relations_Act (#TRA): "#US 🇺🇸 decision to establish diplomatic relations w/#PRC rests upon expectation that future of #Taiwan 🇳🇫 will be determined by #peaceful means"

[Since it involves the "future of Taiwan," that would mean something like a referendum of the people of Taiwan, not political annexation.]

#Taiwan_Relations_Act (#TRA): "[A]ny effort to determine the future of #Taiwan 🇳🇫 by other than peaceful means [is] of grave concern to the #US 🇺🇸"
http://www.taiwandocuments.org/tra01.htm

[Since the Taiwan Relations Act is US law, this is something all American presidents should remember.]

#Taiwan_Relations_Act (#TRA): "Whenever laws of the #US 🇺🇸…relate to foreign countries…or similar entities, such terms shall include & such laws shall apply…to #Taiwan 🇳🇫."

[In other words, despite the lack of official "recognition," the US says it will still treat Taiwan as a #country.]

#Taiwan_Relations_Act (#TRA): "recognized by the #United_States 🇺🇸
as the Republic_of_China 🇹🇼
•prior to January 1, 1979•"
[but henceforth as "#Taiwan" 🇳🇫]
http://www.taiwandocuments.org/tra01.htm

[See the past tense in that quote?
That means the US no longer recognized the "#ROC"
from January 1, 1979 onward.]

the terminology of '#Republic_of_China' 🇹🇼
after 1 January 1979 […]❞

the "Taiwan Relations Act,"
not the "ROC Relations Act."]
