#bjja4  7#b7 ,the aggression of the     
,people's ,republic of ,china toward    
,taiwan has increased in recent years1

of the ,people's ,republic of ,china    
toward ,taiwan has also increased in

than #b1jjj food products from ,taiwan  
since ,august #bjbb4  7#d7 ,the ,united

levers of influence to promote and      
preserve a free and open ,indo-,pacific1
 including prevention of aggression by  
the ,people's ,republic of ,china toward
 ,taiwan2  7#b7 aggression by the       
,people's ,republic of ,china toward    
,taiwan would be a violation of         
international norms and inconsistent    
with standards of conduct required for  
countries enjoying the privilege of     
normal trade relations with the ,united 
,states2 and  7#c7 the ,people's        
,republic of ,china's policies violate
