While Taiwan and the United States have a close relationship, it is unofficial, as Washington formally recognizes China, not the democratically governed island that Beijing claims as its own territory. Washington and Taipei have had no official diplomatic or military relationship since 1979, when the US switched recognition to Beijing, though the United States is bound by law to provide the island with the means to defend itself.

Taiwan typically holds annual security talks in the United States, which neither government officially confirms and which last year were attended by Taiwan’s foreign minister and the head of its National Security Council, according to Taiwanese media.
