Taiwan is a sovereign state today as the ROC, but Taiwan’s sovereignty does not ultimately depend on the ROC.
Passed in 2020, the TAIPEI Act was intended to stem Taiwan’s loss of international allies and to incentivize the United States to act.

Time is closing, and the world is watching. History will judge the US’ actions (or inaction) when the pivotal moment arrives.
