The AIT institution is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the federal government of the United States in Taiwan with Congressional oversight. The AIT was officially created as a U.S. government-sponsored non-profit,private corporation established under the auspices of the U.S. government to serve its interests in Taiwan. Primarily staffed by employees of the United States Department of State and local workers,the AIT provides consular services normally offered by United States diplomatic missions,with the Great Seal of the State Department hung at AIT's main office in Taipei.
