Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 56.
This Senate resolution clarifies the difference between China's "One China Principle" and the United States' "One China Policy" regarding Taiwan's status. The resolution states that a 1971 UN resolution that gave China's seat to the People's Republic of China did not endorse China's claims over Taiwan or settle questions about Taiwan's political status, contrary to how China has been interpreting it. The resolution opposes China's efforts to use this misinterpretation to isolate Taiwan from international organizations and pressure other countries to cut ties with Taiwan. It supports Taiwan's participation in international organizations where statehood is not required and encourages other nations to maintain partnerships with Taiwan. As a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's opinion, it does not involve funding or create legal obligations, but serves as a formal statement of U.S. policy clarification on this diplomatic issue.
