Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act
What does the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act do?

The Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act requires the State Department to review and update its internal guidance on relations with Taiwan at least once every five years and to report those updates to Congress within 90 days of completing each review.
