The Hill: Biden and Xi agree to abide by Taiwan agreement

President Biden said on Tuesday that he and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed to abide by the status quo in light of recent military provocations carried out by China against the self-governing island.

"I’ve spoken with Xi about Taiwan. We agree we will abide by the Taiwan agreement. That’s where we are and I made it clear that I don’t think he should be doing anything other than abiding by the agreement," Biden told reporters.

The Taiwan Relations Act, one of several planks undergirding the current diplomatic relationship between the U.S., China and Taiwan, was passed by Congress in 1979 in order to "maintain peace, security, and stability in the Western Pacific" by maintaining "friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations" between Washington and Taipei.
