The AFF plan withdraws the U.S. commitment to protect Taiwan implied in the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979. The Negative position is that there are 2 possible impacts to the TRA in the Status Quo. One is that the TRA is harmless or irrelevant. China doesn’t care, nothing will happen either way, so it has no impact and isn’t worth worrying about. The other is that TRA is what keeps China from going over the brink and invading Taiwan to reunify it with the mainland. TRA is thus either irrelevant or extremely vital. In no case is it harmful and thus in no case would it be beneficial to repeal it.
