"Stipulates that withdrawal of diplomatic recognition of the Government on Taiwan shall not affect ..."
"... shall make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capacity ..."

"... license for nuclear exports to the people on Taiwan ..."

Thus after the surrender of Saigon and South Vietnam to the Communist People's Republic of Hanoi, the United States national security interest was limited to "western Pacific". Globalization provided the stimulus not to overlook SE Asia and extend the Pacific fleet and command to the Indo-Pacific. So we didn't lose Vietnam after all ... victory was a matter of a few decades. The CCP of China be forewarned. 😂 🇨🇳

Although the great efforts by Kissinger and Nixon, the United States was no match for Communist China of Chairman Mao Zedong ...

Four days after receiving the invitation the 15-member team crossed into mainland China from Hong Kong. The team members were photographed in front of the Great Wall, made it on the cover of Time, but were thoroughly demolished in every game they played.

A smart US President would invite a Chinese baseball team to thaw hostile relations and beat the crap out of them in seven innings.
