| Subject: | Resolution recognizing the long-standing friendship between Pennsylvania and Taiwan |
| We will soon be introducing a resolution recognizing the long-standing and mutually beneficial friendship between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as Taiwan, and urging Congress to continue its support of Taiwan and commemorate the 45th Anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act. Taiwan is a vibrant democratic society and a crucial part of the United States' security network in the Western Pacific. Taiwan also maintains an advanced economy with critical industrial production capacity, particularly of sophisticated electronics components, as well as offering a strong consumer market with substantial demand for exports from Pennsylvania. The United States has long maintained a supportive relationship with Taiwan, including decades of cooperation between the U.S. Military and the ROC Armed Forces. In 1979, Congress passed the Taiwan Relations Act, marking this year as the 45th anniversary of its passage. The Commonwealth and the House of Representatives should recognize and applaud these efforts, in the hopes of a continued deepening of the friendship, as well as the economic and strategic partnership, between the United States, Pennsylvania, and Taiwan. Please join us in cosponsoring this resolution and send a strong message of bipartisan support on this critical international issue. |
