Stronger U.S. support for Taiwan
If enacted, this bill would add findings saying UN Resolution 2758 named the PRC as China’s UN representative but did not decide Taiwan’s representation or sovereignty. It would say the United States opposes any move to change Taiwan’s status without the consent of the people of Taiwan. It would direct U.S. representatives in certain international organizations to, as appropriate, use the U.S. voice, vote, and influence to push back on PRC efforts to distort decisions, language, policies, or procedures about Taiwan. It would encourage U.S. allies and partners, as appropriate, to oppose PRC efforts to undermine Taiwan’s diplomatic relationships and partnerships. It would require official reports to include prior or ongoing PRC attempts to block Taiwan’s membership or observer status and information on Taiwan’s ties with other countries. The new reporting requirement would take effect on the date of enactment and apply to the first required report after that date.
