§3357 Findings and Statement of Policy

Summary

Requires the United States to treat peace and stability in the Indo‑Pacific as a main goal of its foreign policy. It says the People’s Republic of China has, especially since Tsai Ing‑Wen’s 2016 election, run a coordinated campaign to weaken Taiwan diplomatically, economically, and militarily, risking U.S. policy and creating a done deal about Taiwan’s future. It says the U.S. must strengthen Taiwan’s diplomatic, economic, and territorial space to protect U.S. interests and Taiwan’s right to choose its future. Says the U.S. must hold that peace and stability in the Western Pacific matter to U.S. political, security, and economic interests and are of international concern. It also directs the U.S. to work with allies and partners to promote peace in the Indo‑Pacific and to deter military moves or other coercion that would harm regional stability.
