Taiwan Security Enhancement Act
- Taiwan Security Enhancement Act
The Taiwan Security Enhancement Act was a US Congressional bill, passed February 1, 2000, by a vote of 340 to 70 in the House of Representatives, which provided for greater United States military support of Taiwan, including training and equipment. It also established direct military communication lines between the two nations.
The act was meant to strengthen and update the Taiwan Relations Act, which was passed soon after the US ceased official relations with Taiwan, and instead recognized the People's Republic of China.
