## Summary

**Recognize Taiwan as an independent nation.** This concurrent resolution would urge the President to abandon the One China policy and move toward formal recognition, full diplomatic ties, trade talks, and support for Taiwan’s membership in international organizations. - People in Taiwan: Would ask the U.S. to recognize Taiwan’s democratically elected government and to advocate for its full membership in the United Nations and other international bodies. - U.S. diplomacy: Would call for normalizing relations, including appointing a U.S. ambassador to Taiwan, receiving a Taiwanese ambassador, and rescinding agency rules that limit routine official contact. - Trade and businesses: Would direct the U.S. Trade Representative to begin formal negotiations on a U.S.–Taiwan Free Trade Agreement, opening a path for deeper economic integration. - U.S.–China relations: Would replace the current One China framework with a policy that treats Taiwan as independent, shifting the baseline U.S. diplomatic stance toward the People’s Republic of China.
