小布希政府對華政策（對中華民國與中華人民共和國政策）已形成，其主要內涵包括繼續維持中華民國政經制度，并促進中共政權和平演變；繼續反對中國大陸對臺動武；視臺海兩岸關系發展狀況提供防衛性武器給臺灣；繼續鼓勵臺海兩岸以對話、談判方式解決爭端；繼續支持中華民國加入一些功能性的國際組織；不會容忍改變臺灣地位的行動。簡言之，設法維持兩岸關系的現狀（不急統、不急獨或不武、不獨），仍然是美國對華政策的主要思維。

　　　　　Major contents of the Bush Administration's policy toward the two sides of the Taiwan Strait include: promote a peaceful evolution on the Chinese mainland while encouraging Taiwan to continue its existing political and economic system; while opposing mainland China's military threat against Taiwan, provide Taiwan certain amount of sophisticated defensive weapons to meet Washington's strategic need; encourage both sides of the Strait to solve their dialogue and negotiation; support Taiwan's bid for entry into certain international functional organizations, such as the WHO; and discourage Taiwan to change its present status. In general, the United States prefers to maintain the status quo across the Taiwan strait.
