Taiwan, officially known as the Republic of China (ROC), is a self-governing democracy with a population of 23.4 million people, located across the Taiwan Strait from mainland China. On January 1, 1979, the United States severed diplomatic relations with the ROC in order to establish formal relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which claims sovereignty over Taiwan. This shift led to the withdrawal of U.S. military personnel from Taiwan and the termination of the U.S.-ROC Mutual Defense Treaty. Instead, the U.S. government committed to maintaining “cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations” with Taiwan’s people.

Since that time, U.S. policy toward Taiwan has been guided by the “One-China” principle. This policy acknowledges the PRC as the sole government of China while maintaining unofficial relations with Taiwan. It is based on three key documents: the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), three U.S.-PRC Joint Communiqués (1972, 1978, and 1982), and the Six Assurances provided to Taiwan in 1982. These agreements and commitments shape U.S. diplomatic, economic, and security interactions with Taiwan, even as Taiwan remains unrecognized as a sovereign state in the international community. This book explores the history and evolution of U.S.-Taiwan relations, the complexities of the One-China policy, and the challenges both countries face in the context of global geopolitics and regional security.
