Pompeo: EE.UU. levanta todas las restricciones a la cooperación con Taiwán - RT

El secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Mike Pompeo, ha anunciado este sábado el levantamiento de las "restricciones autoimpuestas" a la cooperación entre Estados Unidos y Taiwán.

"Hoy anuncio que levantaré todas estas restricciones autoimpuestas", ha asverado Pompeo en un comunicado. "Las agencias del poder ejecutivo deberían considerar que todas las 'pautas de contacto' con respecto a las relaciones con Taiwán emitidas previamente por el Departamento de Estado bajo las autoridades delegadas al secretario de Estado son nulas y sin valor".

Aunque Taiwán es "una democracia vibrante y un socio confiable de Estados Unidos", durante varias décadas el Departamento de Estado ha creado "complejas restricciones internas" para regular las interacciones de diplomáticos, miembros del servicio y otros funcionarios estadounidenses con sus homólogos taiwaneses, señaló Pompeo.

"El Gobierno de Estados Unidos tomó estas acciones de forma unilateral, en un intento de apaciguar al régimen comunista en Pekín. No más", aseveró el secretario de Estado norteamericano.

  2. Lifting Self-Imposed Restrictions on the U.S.-Taiwan Relationship

    Press Statement

    Taiwan is a vibrant democracy and reliable partner of the United States, and yet for several decades the State Department has created complex internal restrictions to regulate our diplomats, servicemembers, and other officials’ interactions with their Taiwanese counterparts. The United States government took these actions unilaterally, in an attempt to appease the Communist regime in Beijing. No more.

    Today I am announcing that I am lifting all of these self-imposed restrictions. Executive branch agencies should consider all “contact guidelines” regarding relations with Taiwan previously issued by the Department of State under authorities delegated to the Secretary of State to be null and void.

    Additionally, any and all sections of the Foreign Affairs Manual or Foreign Affairs Handbook that convey authorities or otherwise purport to regulate executive branch engagement with Taiwan via any entity other than the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) are also hereby voided. The executive branch‘s relations with Taiwan are to be handled by the non-profit AIT, as stipulated in the Taiwan Relations Act.

    The United States government maintains relationships with unofficial partners around the world, and Taiwan is no exception. Our two democracies share common values of individual freedom, the rule of law, and a respect for human dignity. Today’s statement recognizes that the U.S.-Taiwan relationship need not, and should not, be shackled by self-imposed restrictions of our permanent bureaucracy.
