Obviously such competent legal advice has indelibly influenced the legislative drafting of the Tibetan Policy Act. Any attempts to gain a greater international standing with the US does required the maximum utilization of their legal options. Such were readily available to these smart Tibetan supporters.
While Tibetans do not enjoy the perks of a Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), their pending legislative equivalent has not included any perpetuation of wantonly illegal passport frauds. This begs the social question of when will unruly Taiwanese learn to follow the rule of law? Until that day arrives, the inalienable rights of self-determination for the "Republic of Taiwan" will remain a diplomatic fiction under the auspices of the TRA.
