SEC. 1808. CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE ACCESSION
OF TAIWAN TO THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The people of the United States and the people of
the Republic of China on Taiwan have long enjoyed extensive
ties.
(2) Taiwan is currently the 8th largest trading partner
of the United States.
(3) The executive branch of Government has committed
publicly to support Taiwan’s bid to join the World Trade
Organization and has declared that the United States will
not oppose this bid solely on the grounds that the People’s
Republic of China, which also seeks membership in the World
Trade Organization, is not yet eligible because of its unaccept-
able trade practices.
(4) The United States and Taiwan have concluded discus-
sions on a variety of outstanding trade issues that remain
unresolved with the People’s Republic of China and that are
H. R. 1757—93
necessary for the United States to support Taiwan’s member-
ship in the World Trade Organization.
(5) The reversion of control over Hong Kong—a member
of the World Trade Organization—to the People’s Republic of
China in many respects affords to the People’s Republic of
China the practical benefit of membership in the World Trade
Organization for a substantial portion of its trade in goods
despite the fact that the trade practices of the People’s Republic
of China currently fall far short of what the United States
expects for membership in the World Trade Organization.
(6) The executive branch of Government has announced
its interest in the admission of the People’s Republic of China
to the World Trade Organization; the fundamental sense of
fairness of the people of the United States warrants the United
States Government’s support for Taiwan’s relatively more meri-
torious application for membership in the World Trade
Organization.
(7) Despite having made significant progress in negotiations
for its accession to the World Trade Organization, Taiwan
has yet to offer acceptable terms of accession in agricultural
and certain other market sectors.
(8) It is in the economic interest of United States consumers
and exporters for Taiwan to complete those requirements for
accession to the World Trade Organization at the earliest pos-
sible moment.
(b) CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT.—The Congress favors public
support by officials of the Department of State for the accession
of Taiwan to the World Trade Organization.
