It also lists Sales of major defense articles and services to Taiwan, as approved by the President and notified to Congress since 1990. This report uses a variety of unclassified consultations and citations in the United States and Taiwan.Role of CongressCongress passed and exercises oversight of the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), P.L. 96-8, the law that has governed U.S. Arms Sales to Taiwan since 1979, when the United States recognized the People's Republic of China (PRC) instead of the ROC. The TRA specifies that it is U.S. policy, among the stipulations: to consider any nonpeaceful means to determine Taiwan's future -a threat" to the peace and security of the Western Pacific and of -grave concern" to the United States; -to provide Taiwan with Arms of a defensive character;" and -to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion" jeopardizing the security, or social or economic system of Taiwan's people. Section 3(a) states that -the United States will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capability." The TRA also specifies a congressional role in decision-making on security assistance for Taiwan. Section 3(b) stipulates that both the President and the Congress shall determine the nature and quantity of such defense articles and services -based solely" upon their judgment of the needs of Taiwan. Section 3(b) also says that -such determination of Taiwan's defense needs shall include review by United States military authorities in connection with recommendations to the President and the Congress." In a crisis, Section 3(c) of the TRA requires the President to inform Congress -promptly" of any threat to -the security or the social or economic system" of the people on Taiwan and any danger to U.S. interests. The TRA set up the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), a nonprofit corporation in place of an embassy, to handle the relationship with Taiwan. AIT implements policy as directed by the Departments of Defense and State, and the National Security Council (NSC) of the White House. They have controlled notifications to Congress of pending major Arms Sales, as required by the Arms Export Control Act, P.L. 90-629.Congress also oversees the President's implementation of policies decided in 1982. President Ronald Reagan agreed with the PRC on the August 17, 1982, Joint Communique on reducing Arms Sales to Taiwan, but he also clarified that Arms Sales would continue in accordance with the TRA and with the full expectation of a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan question. At the same time, Reagan extended -Six Assurances" to Taipei, including assurances that Washington had not agreed to set a date for ending Arms Sales to Taiwan nor to consult with Beijing on Arms Sales.

  • taiwan annual Arms Sales process
    2001
    Co-Authors: Shirley A Kan
    Abstract:

    This CRS Report discusses the low-profile annual Arms talks process that successive Administrations used from the early 1980s to 2001 in determining Arms Sales to Taiwan, which are governed by the Taiwan Relations Act. The discussion is based on interviews in 1998 and 1999 with U.S. and Taiwan observers as well as U.S. and Taiwan news reports. This report on the process will not be updated. (On April 24, 2001, President George W. Bush announced that he would drop this annual Arms talks process in favor of one with considerations on an “as-needed basis.” See also CRS Report RL30957, Taiwan: Major U.S. Arms Sales Since 1990.)
