Washington urges Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with the nation’s elected representatives, the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) said yesterday.
AIT spokeswoman Amanda Mansour issued the statement in response to media queries about US President Joe Biden’s policy toward Taiwan.
“For four decades, the US’ ‘one China’ policy has been guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three US-China Joint Communiques and the ‘six assurances’ provided to Taipei,” Mansour said.
