Bill 119 HRES 148 is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives that expresses the sense of the House regarding United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (XXVI) and the conflation of China's "One China Principle" with the United States' "One China Policy."
The resolution highlights the importance of distinguishing between China's "One China Principle," which asserts that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of it, and the United States' "One China Policy," which acknowledges Beijing as the government of China but does not take a position on the sovereignty of Taiwan.
The resolution emphasizes that the United States should continue to uphold its commitment to the Taiwan Relations Act, which provides for unofficial relations with Taiwan and supports Taiwan's security and self-defense capabilities. It also reaffirms the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
Overall, Bill 119 HRES 148 aims to clarify the differences between China's "One China Principle" and the United States' "One China Policy" and reaffirm the United States' support for Taiwan's security and self-defense capabilities.
