Thank you for inviting me to this special subcommittee meeting on Taiwan.
Next week is the 35th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA). I wish
to commend you, Mr. Chairman, for your leadership and many years of strong
interest on behalf of U.S.-Taiwan relations and their role in regional
prosperity and stability.
The unofficial U.S.-Taiwan relationship has never been stronger than it is
today, and it underscores our firm commitment to the Taiwan Relations Act.
Strengthening our relations with Taiwan and our longstanding friendship with
the people on Taiwan remains a key element of the U.S. strategic rebalance to
the Asia-Pacific. U.S.-Taiwan relations are grounded in history, respect for
democracy and human rights, respect for international rules and norms, a
growing economic partnership, and enduring security cooperation.

The United States welcomes Taiwan’s efforts to resolve disputes peacefully,
approach territorial and maritime disputes pragmatically, and share resources
in these disputed areas. For example, in 2013 Taiwan reached a fisheries
agreement with Japan that allows both sides to fish in the East China Sea,
and also resolved a fisheries incident with the Philippines through
consultation. These examples serve as a model for the region of Taiwan’s
ability to peacefully resolve maritime issues through diplomatic means .
