SEC. 205. REPORT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF TAIWAN RELA-
TIONS ACT. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall sub-
mit to Congress a report on implementation of United 
States security policy under the Taiwan Relations Act. 
(b) MATTERS TO BE INCLUDED.—The report re-
quired under subsection (a) shall include, at a minimum, 
the following issues: 
(1) A review of the operational planning, policy 
reviews, and other preparations of the United States 
since 2000 to implement section 2(b)(6) and sub-
sections (a), (b), and (c) of section 3 of the Taiwan 
Relations Act, including the extent to which the 
United States retains the capacity to resist any re-
sort to force or other forms of coercion that would 
jeopardize the security, or the social or economic 
system, of the people of Taiwan. Such review shall 
take into account whether Taiwan’s air and air de-
fense forces retain the ability to effectively defend 
Taiwan against China’s ballistic missile and air 
threats, and the extent to which the absence of cred-
ible Taiwanese air defense forces may complicate the 
ability of the United States to resist any resort to 
force that jeopardizes the security of Taiwan.
