Some 43 years ago, the United States Congress overwhelmingly passed — and President Jimmy Carter signed into law — the Taiwan Relations Act, one of the most important pillars of U.S. foreign policy in the Asia Pacific. The Taiwan Relations Act set out America’s commitment to a democratic Taiwan, providing the framework for an economic and diplomatic relationship that would quickly flourish into a key partnership. It fostered a deep friendship rooted in shared interests and values: self-determination and self-government, democracy and freedom, human dignity and human rights. And it made a solemn vow by the United States to support the defense of Taiwan: “to consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means … a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States.” Today, America must remember that vow. We must stand by Taiwan, which is an island of resilience. Taiwan is a leader in governance: currently, in addressing the covid-19 pandemic and championing environmental conservation and climate action. It is a leader in peace, security and economic dynamism: with an entrepreneurial spirit, culture of innovation and technological prowess that are envies of the world. Yet, disturbingly, this vibrant, robust democracy — named one of the freest in the world by Freedom House and proudly led by a woman, President Tsai Ing-wen — is under threat. In recent years, Beijing has dramatically intensified tensions with Taiwan. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has ramped up patrols of bombers, fighter jets and surveillance aircraft near and even over Taiwan’s air defense zone, leading the U.S. Defense Department to conclude that China’s army is “likely preparing for a contingency to unify Taiwan with the PRC by force.” The PRC has also taken the fight into cyberspace, launching scores of attacks on Taiwan government agencies each day. At the same time, Beijing is squeezing Taiwan economically, pressuring global corporations to cut ties with the island, intimidating countries that cooperate with Taiwan, and clamping down on tourism from the PRC. In the face of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) accelerating aggression, our congressional delegation’s visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that America stands with Taiwan, our democratic partner, as it defends itself and its freedom. Our visit — one of several congressional delegations to the island — in no way contradicts the long-standing one-China policy, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, the U.S.-China Joint Communiques and the Six Assurances. The United States continues to oppose unilateral efforts to change the status quo. Our visit is part of our broader trip to the Pacific — including Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan — focused on mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance. Our discussions with our Taiwanese partners will focus on reaffirming our support for the island and promoting our shared interests, including advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific region. America’s solidarity with Taiwan is more important today than ever — not only to the 23 million people of the island but also to millions of others oppressed and menaced by the PRC. Thirty years ago, I traveled in a bipartisan congressional delegation to China, where, in Tiananmen Square, we unfurled a black-and-white banner that read, “To those who died for democracy in China.” Uniformed police pursued us as we left the square. Since then, Beijing’s abysmal human rights record and disregard for the rule of law continue, as President Xi Jinping tightens his grip on power. The CCP’s brutal crackdown against Hong Kong’s political freedoms and human rights — even arresting Catholic Cardinal Joseph Zen — cast the promises of “one-country, two-systems” into the dustbin. In Tibet, the CCP has long led a campaign to erase the Tibetan people’s language, culture, religion and identity. In Xinjiang, Beijing is perpetrating genocide against Muslim Uyghurs and other minorities. And throughout the mainland, the CCP continues to target and arrest activists, religious-freedom leaders and others who dare to defy the regime. We cannot stand by as the CCP proceeds to threaten Taiwan — and democracy itself. Indeed, we take this trip at a time when the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy. As Russia wages its premeditated, illegal war against Ukraine, killing thousands of innocents — even children — it is essential that America and our allies make clear that we never give in to autocrats. When I led a congressional delegation to Kyiv in April — the highest-level U.S. visit to the besieged nation — I conveyed to President Volodymyr Zelensky that we admired his people’s defense of democracy for Ukraine and for democracy worldwide. By traveling to Taiwan, we honor our commitment to democracy: reaffirming that the freedoms of Taiwan — and all democracies — must be respected.

你在美国拿过博士回台湾任教，请问你对林智坚论文的看法，算不算学术剽窃
红军、八路、解放军一个妈妈养的，当然要从1927算起
好么，原来佩奶奶访台是为了挺共。这下皆大欢喜了。
也还好吧。都这样了也没啥真的动作。我对于世界和平的信心又满血复活了。
就怕老大和老二打起来。
一直都说是一个中国政策啊，不希望任何单边行动改变邢现状。
和拜登密结了吗？至少也得是个黄码
八一南昌起义就是分裂国民党革命军人的开始嘛。。
费这么大力气是去打台湾的脸的？疼死了。
肯定比不上

小红书上看到说微博为了自保都down了，哈哈。 一群喊打喊杀的人说失望的要死。。。。不过理智的好像还是大多数
我也是，最怕打仗，尤其两个超级大国打起来
蔡英文不能帶著台灣人民 跟著 共產黨 去跟美帝打啊
上次台灣人民跟著 大陸 跟日本打 結果被割讓給了日本
銀行領不出錢區 不可信賴
早说过了双方打不起来。。
全世界都没有因为议长窜访而开战的道理，所以老太太一定要去，挡是挡不住的。。 但大陆抗议也一定要抗议，行动也一定要行动，因为需要表面态度。。 双方几十年来都是如此。。
其实以前的官方发言调子也不低，但以前没有社交媒体，所以这次通过互联网而造成的舆论发酵规模比以前大很多
最后结果也是早就可以预期的。。 美方切一个中国的香肠，中国这边就切台湾的香肠，飞越中线，绕台演习啥的以后会逐渐成为常态。。
喊打喊杀的人是不是智商欠费，谁跟谁打？谁杀谁？
这话说得太虚伪了
沙特阿拉伯还是王室统治呢，那里的妇女连出门都受限制，论民主和人权比中国大陆差太远了，美国为什么不过去关心一下那边的人权？
沒辦法成常態
因為
黨 沒錢了
都被 普丁 拿去 打烏克蘭了
改革開放賺到的家底 被 剩上 撒幣殆盡
你們一定要 讓 剩上 當第三任啊
拿显微镜找到high点了？ 你们从来没输过，总是赢。
双标惯了，弹性民主，弹性人权
我今天看这个图的时候 还觉得 窜访这个词 没见过啊 新造的么 结果您看您这就用上了
因為
沙烏地阿拉伯的 銀行提得出現金
具有
錢爺自由
再說
銀行領不出錢區 還有 八胎女 畢竟還是蓋過沙特好幾胎
人家沙特本来就王室统治，没自称人民民主。美国恨的是既当婊子又立牌坊。
看到这些老太太，Cannot wait to be老太太
同神伤。老太太太可气、太不给大国面子了。
此刻太平洋那端可能有亿万守了半宿等着看漂亮反制的人们正夜不能寐，辗转反侧、失望怅叹：好长的夜啊
想看梧桐台湾啊。。。现在一堆人喊着憋气，失望，睡不着。。用民族主义洗脑也是有反噬风险的。不过国家处理这些人易如反掌
所以说，满口民主的都是没脑子的，被洗脑了，在利益面前，民主靠边站
民意顶不上网管的一根指头。
再补充一个后果，
大陆这边支持和平统一的人在未来会继续快速下降。。。 进一步整合内部民意。。
所以你想要怎么样？打仗吗？像俄罗斯对乌克兰一样？然后美华在美国都被边缘化？中餐厅以后都被打砸抢？中国人都被discriminate？中国人的资产都被美国银行冻结？这是你想要的结果吗？？？
湾湾花高价请p婆发一篇声明，代价就是加速梧桐，这么搞文统的可能性越来越小了，经济制裁和绕台演习是肯定的
你是说美国恨自己吗
窜访是大陆这边长期以来的官方一贯用法。。 这都用了几十年了。。
你这种连八一南昌起义都不知道的，还是这话题上少发言
牵涉到台湾一直用窜字
觉得分裂本身就是伪命题，从49年建国，台海也就这样了，统一分裂说太勉强。至于自古以来，自古以来唐宋元明清，版图变化大了去了，按哪个古算呢？ 退一步说，按国际有争议区域算，多半也要尊重本地区人民意愿，但凡海外生活过的，待不待见台湾人两说，大概都有体会台湾人对中华人民共和国根本没有认同感，最多只认同中华文化，同宗同源，如此何必强扭？大家各自为国，结盟发展不好吗？ 非要大一统，非要绝对权力，有啥意义啊。
国内人能有啥民意， 都是领导意志， 谁敢说不。
如果是这样不需要胡编了 哪儿都是需要民意的，现在就是各国本土派右派民意过盛的景象
就是，网上这么热闹，也没见有人上街游行抗议啊。
国内的粉红被中共玩弄多少次了？哪次不是中共一打鸡血，他们就高潮的？ 不值得同情
最好的solution，可惜做不到
统不统独不独另说，但这“退一步说，按国际有争议区域算” 说法很奇怪啊。
啥时候“按国际有争议区域算”能叫“退一步”了？不管是大陆（大陆显然认为台湾是中国的一部分，您给弄成国际有争议区域，能叫退一步？）还是台湾（台湾人认为自己是一个独立的国家，您给弄成国际有争议区域，也不能算退一步吧？），谁会觉得这是“退一步”？
大哥您身在自由世界灵魂仍属于我党😂
这不是晚上时间吗？猥琐大叔们忙着打飞机✈️。。明天白天看看怎么样，说不定就开始砸特斯拉汽车和苹果手机了。。
哪有，厦门警察还在路口忙着抓违章电动车。刚微博看的。
台湾也有意识形态先行的本土主义者啊，版上几位不就挺开心的
喔噻这是个问题吗？解放军建军在1927年
就是这样。以前还要藏着掖着现在可以时不时去演习一下，老妖婆就是一个搅屎棍子，不知道台湾人民以后该怎么感谢她。
我红三 哈哈 是你不知道南昌暴动是怎么回事吧 我承认我简体中文论坛混的不如你多
中文就是这么用坏了的 透着贱兮兮的气质
国内当权要左右民意太容易了。 上街游行砸美国大使馆， 只要领导一句话。 文革时还火烧英国大使馆（代办处）。 哪天全国再次出现反修路反帝路， 一点不吃惊。
一条路要走到黑，不撞死不回头。。
Oh really? 有旗 有名 有纲领么 后来历史好好写了写么？ 共产国际承认么？
所以首先使用胡锡进了？
原来台湾有选择权利？！过去现在将来都是没有的。
台湾啥也不用干就好了。
最费钱的是土共。为了挽回点面子闹军演，又得花不老少了。
战狼们的情绪还不见的安抚得过来。
南昌暴动？红三应该用南昌”起义“吧？
他可真是个大聪明

我们一直都是这么学的。所以你是红三？
“窜访”一词应该是老胡那先看到的，外交部发言人也使用过。
台湾人民不惧怕战争，为了自由、民主和人的尊严，纵使死掉两千三百万人也在所不惜！
不需要拿显微镜，这点也超出了我的预料，佩奶奶居然会在台湾公开说美国遵守一中政策
大陆人支持武统还是文统有意义吗？你当你是谁啊？
嘿 你得问几遍？ 青岛的海军航空兵大院儿长大的 我爷爷穿海军服打底 外面飞行员夹克
自干五的前车之鉴
世界终究还是属于这些老头和老太太的
那你当你是谁？
30年前，我跟著跨党派国会代表团访问中国，在天安门广场上手举写著「献给为中国民主事业牺牲的烈士”的布条。我们离开广场时，身穿制服的公安追了上来。
中国共产党对香港政治自由和人权的残酷镇压，甚至逮捕天主教香港教区荣休主教陈日君，将“一国两制”的承诺丢进垃圾箱。在西藏，中共长期领导著一场抹杀西藏人民语言、文化、宗教和身份的运动。在新疆，北京正对维吾尔族穆斯林及其他少数民族进行种族灭绝。在整个中国，中共持续锁定和逮捕活动人士、宗教自由领袖以及其他敢于违抗政权的人。"
这。。。。。好直白。。。求英文原文
比小的还是强些
LOL.....
肯定做不到。美国这个这么自由民主的国家，现在共和党和民主党还掐的跟斗鸡眼似的呢…… 不能想象现在的中国是否有两党专政的土壤
翻译没翻译这句啊！ 点名了
老奶奶就是自个爽了一次。以后中共隔三岔五的军演，美国要怎样stand by台湾？和对乌克兰一样，只会动嘴，送死你去。
可能是为了表示自己是个有独立思考能力清新脱俗的红三。还中文媒体看得不多，洗脑历史课也没上过，暗示自己从小就来了。那还莅临什么华人论坛呢，为了以正视听么？不知道祖辈在哪个部队干休所的独栋里安享晚年啊？
第一次听有人自己说自己是红三的，红三=赵家人，这位红三准备在华人起义吗？真是太好笑了。
真的是 读完竟然被世界警察感动了 真相是啥
倒计时黄土埋到脖子的老头老太更勇于追求未完成的理想
你好歹也扔些鞭炮，拍些视频，你给台湾人钱够买🥚扔几个到两女人，你让中国男人以后怎么混啊！可怜我儿以后怎么找老婆啊！
说的真好！！！
嗯 那你可能是才来 我们这里还有国庆坐主席台的红三呢
你觉得美国对中国的贸易战和对俄罗斯的金融战都挺成功的？
就这也急着跳出来自曝是红三，层主真是太幽默了，
土共军演不花钱么？愿意花钱就演呗 反正都说了 是“演”
为啥中文版要把那句删掉。。。其他都翻了，这么有种，有这句也没差
现在，随意吧，怎么对待台湾都没问题。土工可不是心慈手软的。
