Limit China’s role in global finance groups
If enacted, the U.S. would seek to bar officials from China from six global finance groups. This would start only after the President, under the Taiwan Relations Act, tells Congress that China’s actions threaten Taiwan and U.S. interests. The groups are the G20, Bank for International Settlements, Financial Stability Board, Basel Committee, International Association of Insurance Supervisors, and IOSCO. Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board, and the SEC would take all needed steps to carry this out to the maximum extent practicable. The President would be able to waive it for any group by reporting to the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees that a waiver is in the national interest; the policy would end after 5 years, or 30 days after the President tells Congress ending it is in the national interest.
