It is the sense of the Senate that the United States should strengthen and enhance its long-standing partnership and strategic cooperation with Taiwan, and reinforce its commitment to the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances as both countries work toward mutual security objectives, by— conducting regular transfers of defense articles and defense services necessary to enable Taiwan to secure common interests and objectives with the United States; supporting the efforts of Taiwan to integrate innovative and asymmetric capabilities to balance the growing military capabilities of the People’s Republic of China, including fast-attack craft, coastal-defense cruise missiles, rapid-runway repair training, and undersea warfare capabilities optimized for the defense of the Taiwan Straits; assisting Taiwan in building an effective air defense capability consisting of a balance of fighters and more mobile air defense systems; and permitting Taiwan to participate in bilateral training activities hosted by the United States that increase the credible deterrent capabilities of Taiwan.
