Pub. L. 96-8, enacted 10 April 1979 after the US recognized the PRC: Congress substituted a statutory commitment for the broken treaty — unofficial relations, Taiwan’s security maintained by peaceful means only, coercion against Taiwan “a threat to the peace and stability of the Western Pacific,” and continued defensive arms sales. It is US domestic law, not a treaty — and its very existence is the rebuttal of “Taiwan is a purely internal affair.” Text: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-93/pdf/STATUTE-93-Pg14.pdf .
