Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the curbs had been imposed to "appease the Communist regime in Beijing," and added that the relationship between the US and Taiwan should not shackled by self-imposed restrictions.
The United States is lifting decades-old "self-imposed" restrictions on its official relationship with Taiwan, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Saturday.
"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," he said in a statement.
Pompeo said the measures had been imposed "unilaterally" by the US government to "appease the Communist regime in Beijing."
"Today I am announcing that I am lifting all of these self-imposed restrictions," Pompeo said.

The outgoing Trump admin is putting in a lot of pro-Western/pro-USA policies and maneuvers for Biden to undo.
It will be laid bare as to where Biden's priorities and loyalties are when he reverses them.
I don't think the Biden admin will last long, if at all. He's certainly toast one way or another. And that's probably what the deep state wants. Biden gets killed off for his corruption, and the budget of the security apparatus will be blown up again, with focus on cyber, domestic terrorism, health and personal tracking, and, of course health camps to which people with covid can be sent and kept without seeing a judge for 3 months, which can be a death sentence in those camps.
Soon it'll be: you've been found to be near a person with covid, you will now be isolated.
And covid symptoms can be anything...a fever, some PCR test over amplifying any Corona material you came in contact with, even if it's just the flu or another corona class, and of you go to the camp.
Next you'll find out that talking about the establishment, like the crimes they're involved in, gives you covid. Or a fever. Or a meta data point says you were in contact with someone who has inconvenient ideas.
Good luck, everyone
"China is expecting the incoming Biden administration to reverse this decision"
This could be considered a scorched Earth tactic. It is the right thing to do. It should have been done long ago. At this point Trump has nothing to lose. Biden, President Harris, and the shikken do.
To reverse the policy, President Harris and the shikken have to put a marker down that will hurt them in the polls and at election time.
Why shouldn't Trump do this. The Left has threatened to go nuclear with Trump his children, his businesses, and all conservatives.
In short the Left have put Trump on death ground.
Lol. The Meathead thinks he's gonna be president someday.
This is the same idiot who blames Obama for the INF Treaty..... which was signed in 1987.
Russ, shouldn't you be busy teaching your neighborhood militia the finer points of 'tater peeling?
5:56, 7:06, & 7:15,
You are awfully exercised. You worried bro? Pompeo new that an admin gig is 2 to 8 years, usually 3 or 4. So Pompeo already has plans.
INF treaty was signed in 1987. But that does not mean nation can't withdraw given advanced notification due to obsolescence *China) or violations. I think the shithead is you. What Pompeo may have said and what you are twisting is that Obama should have withdrawn from it during his presidency.
"According to US officials, Russia violated the treaty in 2008 by testing the SSC-8 cruise missile, which has a range of 3,000 km (1,900 mi). Russia rejected the claim that their SSC-8 missiles violated the treaty, and claiming that the SSC-8 has a maximum range of only 480 km (300 mi). In 2013, it was reported that Russia had tested and planned to continue testing two missiles in ways that could violate the terms of the treaty: the road-mobile SS-25 and the newer RS-26 ICBMs. The US representatives briefed NATO on other Russian breaches of the INF Treaty in 2014"
Worried? Lol. The Meathead has all the charm and likeability of a cinderblock.
Be sure to give your money to his election pac! It'll be a great investment!
I don't require charm from a politician. But I like how you shifted the goalposts on you dislike for him.
I hope as a government or NGO troll you are paid well for shitting.
Trump had four years to do this to his 'good friend' Chairman Poo.
I rather a policy put in place based on sound principles than one of opportunistic convenience. But hey, take what you get.
Jealous
I see you have confidence in Pelosi, considering your situation that's unusual.
Why should he when you are around!
It's a situation that requires thought, you'll get it .......one day.
