# 22 U.S.C. § 3357 - Findings and statement of policy
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Findings Congress finds the following:
|
||
|
||
(1) Advancing peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific has been a central element of United States foreign policy toward the region.
|
||
|
||
(2) The Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), especially since the election of Tsai Ing-Wen in 2016, has conducted a coordinated campaign to weaken Taiwan diplomatically, economically, and militarily in a manner that threatens to erode United States policy and create a fait accompli on questions surrounding Taiwan’s future.
|
||
|
||
(3) To secure United States interests and preserve the ability of the people of Taiwan to determine their own future, it is necessary to reinforce Taiwan’s diplomatic, economic, and territorial space.
|
||
|
||
(b) Statement of policy It is the policy of the United States to—
|
||
|
||
(1) maintain the position that peace and stability in the Western Pacific are in the political, security, and economic interests of the United States, and are matters of international concern; and
|
||
|
||
(2) work with allies and partners to promote peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific and deter military acts or other forms of coercive behavior that would undermine regional stability.
|
