; (E) the United States Army Multi-Domain Operations concept document, which states that the Armed Forces must demonstrate the capability to immediately deny a fait accompli attack in order to deter a near-peer adversary; and (F) the Marine Corps Force Design 2030 report, which states that forward-deployed forces that can continue to operate inside an adversary’s long-range precision-fire weapons engagement zone (WEZ) are more operationally relevant than forces which must rapidly maneuver to positions outside the WEZ in order to remain survivable, and that such stand-in forces possess the capability to attrite adversary forces, enable joint force access requirements, complicate targeting and consume adversary [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] resources, and prevent fait accompli scenarios . 4. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the ability of the United States to uphold a free and open Indo-Pacific region would be severely compromised if the Government of the People’s Republic of China were able to compel the unification of Taiwan with the People’s Republic of China, particularly if the People's Republic of China were able to do so by military force; (2) the loss by the United States of the ability to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region would result in the significantly increased vulnerability of the middle-class and working-class people of the United States and the allies and partners of the United States to economic coercion by the Government of the People’s Republic of China; (3) the fate of Taiwan is therefore crucially linked to the fates of all countries in the Indo-Pacific region, including to the fate of the United States; (4) under the Taiwan Relations Act ( 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), it is the policy of the United States to consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means to be of grave concern to the United States
