Key Historical Developments in US-China-Taiwan Relations

The historical relationship between the United States, China, and Taiwan has been marked by key events since 1949, including Taiwan's alliance with the U.S. during the Korean War and multiple Taiwan Strait crises involving artillery exchanges. The U.S. adopted the One China Policy in 1979 but committed to Taiwan's defense through the Taiwan Relations Act and Six Assurances. Tensions escalated with Taiwan's democratic developments and visits by its leaders to the U.S., prompting military responses from China and strategic deployments by the U.S.
