The U.S. became friendly with Taiwan primarily due to shared democratic values and strategic interests in Asia during the Cold War. After the Chinese Civil War, the U.S. supported the Republic of China (Taiwan) as a counterbalance to communist China, seeing it as a crucial ally in promoting democracy and containing communism in the region. Additionally, Taiwan's economic development and importance as a trading partner further strengthened U.S.-Taiwan relations. This partnership has continued to evolve, influenced by geopolitical dynamics and concerns over China's rising influence.
