For those of you living in the Bay Area and interested in learning more about Taiwan and it’s “official” diplomatic status with the United States, you might be interested in attending this event:
- 30 Years of the Taiwan Relations Act
- Saturday, April 25 at 2:00 PM
- Stanford University, Braun Hall (Geology Corner), 320-105
After recognizing the People’s Republic of China, the United States was forced to sever diplomatic relations with Taiwan. The Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, however, set up the framework for unofficial interaction between the two governments and laid the foundation for America’s commitment to Taiwan’s security and safety. While the TRA has allowed Taiwan to develop into one of the most robust democracies in East Asia, Taiwan’s international status remains in a precarious state of limbo.
- Dr. Gerrit van der Wees, Formosan Association for Public Affairs
- The Origin of the Taiwan Relations Act
- Professor June Teufel Dreyer, University of Miami
- The Rise of China and America’s Commitment to Taiwan
- Mr. Stephen Yates, American Foreign Policy Council
- Taiwan’s Future in the Stability of the Pacific Rim
This event is free and open to the public.
Parking on the weekends is free in the Oval and Tressider lots.
Braun Hall is in the Main Quad west of Memorial Church.
What next?
