## Summary

**Gives Taiwan de facto diplomatic treatment and renames its U.S. office as the Taiwan Representative Office.** The bill would direct the Secretary of State to seek negotiations to rename the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the District of Columbia and provide that any U.S. law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record referring to the old name is treated as referencing the new name for all official purposes. It clarifies the change does not restore formal diplomatic relations, does not alter the United States' position on Taiwan's international status, and creates no new funding or programs.
