It is the sense of Congress that— the Taiwan Relations Act ( 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) and the Six Assurances are both cornerstones of United States relations with Taiwan; the United States should continue to strengthen defense and security cooperation with Taiwan to support the development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces necessary for Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capability, including capabilities in support of an asymmetric defense strategy; the United States should continue to support the acquisition by Taiwan of appropriate defensive weapons through foreign military sales, direct commercial sales, and industrial cooperation, with a particular emphasis on asymmetric warfare, information sharing, air defense, and maritime capabilities, consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act; the United States should improve the predictability of arms sales to Taiwan by ensuring timely review of and response to requests of Taiwan for defense articles and defense services as well as timely notification to Congress and adherence to congressional oversight and review procedures; and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, should promote policies concerning cooperation and exchanges that enhance the security of Taiwan, including exchanges between senior defense officials and general officers of the United States and Taiwan consistent with the Taiwan Travel Act ( Public Law 115–135 ).
