Taiwan’s Legislature Passes Motion to Resume Diplomatic Relations with US, Beijing Protests

Taiwan’s legislature has passed a motion proposed by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) to restore diplomatic relations with the US.

Proposed by the KMT’s parliamentary caucus, a motion on restoring diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the US and another on requesting American assistance in resisting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were passed without objection.

Taiwan’s premiere Su Tseng-chang said the KMT had been responsible for the end of Taiwan’s diplomatic relations with the US and it was good that it had come to follow its conscience. Taiwan’s foreign ministry said it will continue to deepen its relations with the US in such areas as politics, international participation, economy and trade, and security.

In Beijing, the Taiwan Affairs Office has repeatedly stated that it is resolutely opposed to any form of official exchanges between Taiwan and the US, and that those plotting independence and secession would meet a dead end.
