Six Assurances

Six Assurances

The Six Assurances are guidelines used in conducting relations between the United States of America and the Republic of China (Taiwan). They were proposed in 1982 by the Republic of China during negotiations between the United States and People's Republic of China over the Joint Communique on Arms Sales to Taiwan. The U.S. government agreed to these points and informed the United States Congress of this in July 1982. The Six assurances were:

# The United States would not set a date for termination of arms sales to Taiwan.
# The United States would not alter the terms of the Taiwan Relations Act.
# The United States would not consult with China in advance before making decisions about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
# The United States would not mediate between Taiwan and China.
# The United States would not alter its position about the sovereignty of Taiwan.
# The United States will not exert pressure on Taiwan to enter into negotiation with the People's Republic of China.
