Taiwan Says US Policy Remains Unchanged

• US policy on Taiwan independence remains unchanged, based on the Taiwan Relations Act and Six Assurances.
• Taiwan is increasing its defense spending (aiming for 5% of GDP by 2030) and seeking faster US arms deliveries.
• Taiwanese companies are significantly increasing investments in the US, particularly in semiconductors (e.g., TSMC's Phoenix project, $50B pledged this year), shifting away from China.
• China consistently attempts to undermine Taiwan's democracy through military threats, cyberattacks, and disinformation.

Taiwan's Representative to the US, Alexander Yui, affirms that US policy on Taiwan remains unchanged despite Chinese pressure. He highlights strong US-Taiwan relations, including increasing defense cooperation and significant Taiwanese investments in the US semiconductor industry. Taiwan is boosting its defense spending and diversifying its economic ties away from China.
