US EditionTrump Signs Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act, Prompting Praise From Taipei, Objection From Beijing
The law mandates reviews every five years to assess and potentially expand U.S.-Taiwan engagement amid rising concerns about China's intentions, lawmakers said.
- On Dec 2, US President Donald Trump signed the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act into law, requiring the State Department to review guidelines on engagement with Taiwan and explain how they deepen relations.
- Amid escalating concerns about China's intentions, the law follows Xi Jinping's reiteration that unification is critical and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks that drew outrage in Beijing.
- The law specifies review mechanics, requiring the State Department to conduct reviews not less than every five years and submit updated reports within 90 days to the Senate and House foreign relations committees.
- Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the law Wednesday, saying it strengthens the 2020 Taiwan Assurance Act, while Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian opposed official US-Taiwan contacts and Representative Ann Wagner praised the legislation as standing strong against the Chinese Communist Party.
- This institutionalization could reshape long-term ties as the law formalizes periodic State Department reviews amid shifting US practices and may deepen engagement, affecting Japan and Beijing's regional security concerns.
