Summary
SR86 is a resolution expressing the Senate's position on the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 and the conflation of China's 'One China Principle' with the United States' 'One China Policy'. The resolution reaffirms that the US does not recognize the People's Republic of China's claim over Taiwan while acknowledging that it adheres to the longstanding US policy on the matter. It emphasizes the need for a peaceful resolution of issues across the Taiwan Strait and reinforces that the US will not pressure Taiwan to negotiate with the PRC.
Contention
Notably, the resolution counters recent maneuvers by the PRC to distort the interpretation of international resolutions and undermine Taiwan's status on the global stage. Critics argue the PRC's actions regarding Resolution 2758 have led to significant diplomatic fallout, including the loss of Taiwan's diplomatic allies. Consequently, this resolution becomes a significant diplomatic statement aimed at asserting Taiwan's importance and the US commitment to counter China’s attempts to isolate Taiwan in international contexts.
