	Department of State Washington File: Text: American Institute in Taiwan Director on Election, Peace
		At this sensitive time in cross-Strait relations between Beijing and Taiwan, the best thing the United States can do is to maintain a consistent and predictable set of policies, according to Richard Bush, managing director of the American Institute in Taiwan.
		Taiwan's willingness to move forward on cross-Strait relations is no longer just a function of the views of Taiwan's top leaders; it is also a function of the views of the public at large, the press, members of the legislature, and the leadership of opposition parties.
		Furthermore, to quote the Taiwan Relations Act, it is U.S. policy to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan.
