Taiwan Bills in the Congress

119th Congress, 2025 – 2026

 119th | 118th | 117th

S.1216

H.R.2559

Taiwan Allies Fund Act

S.1216

H.R.2559

The Taiwan Allies Fund Act aims to counter coercion by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and support Taiwan’s international participation.

The CCP has systematically pressured or enticed countries to sever diplomatic ties with Taiwan in favor of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). It has also increasingly “weaponized” trade and economic relations to pressure countries into adopting pro-China policies and to penalize those pursuing closer ties with Taiwan.

The bill seeks to strengthen Taiwan’s global network of partners by authorizing $120 million over three years to provide foreign assistance to Taiwan’s official and unofficial allies facing CCP coercion.

H.R.2416

Taiwan International Solidarity Act

Taiwan International Solidarity Act aims to counter China’s false claims of sovereignty over Taiwan and its escalating efforts to exclude Taiwan from international organizations. The legislation previously passed the House in July 2023 but stalled in the Senate.

The legislation clarifies that United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758, adopted in 1971, “did not address the issue of representation of Taiwan and its people in the United Nations or any related organizations, nor did the resolution . . . include any statement pertaining to Taiwan’s sovereignty.”

The bill also encourages the United States to work with allies and partners to oppose China’s efforts to undermine Taiwan’s diplomatic ties and global partnerships.

H.R.2113

America Supports Taiwan Act

The America Supports Taiwan Act would require all U.S. federal agencies to use the term “Taiwan” instead of “Chinese Taipei” to counter Chinese coercion and aggression that threaten Taiwan’s sovereignty.

While the United States rarely uses the term “Chinese Taipei,” it has appeared in some government communications. If enacted, the bill would require all federal agencies to update their websites within 14 days to reflect the use of “Taiwan” instead of “Chinese Taipei.”

S.974

Taiwan Representative Office Act

The Taiwan Representative Office Act seeks to rename Taiwan’s de facto embassy in the U.S. from the “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office” (TECRO) to the “Taiwan Representative Office” (TRO) to better reflect the reality that it represents Taiwan and its people.

The current name, TECRO, is inconsistent with the longstanding U.S. policy of referring to Taiwan simply as “Taiwan.” This policy is evident by the names of the Taiwan Relations Act, the Taiwan Travel Act, the American Institute in Taiwan, etc.

If enacted, the bill would require all U.S. government documents, laws, maps, and records to replace references to TECRO with TRO.

S.733

Taiwan Travel and Tourism Coordination Act

The Taiwan Travel and Tourism Coordination Act aims to strengthen U.S.-Taiwan bilateral travel and economic cooperation.

“Travel and tourism play a crucial role in a nation’s economic security,” said Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Brian Schatz (D-HI), highlighting the pressure and coercion Taiwan faces from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in this sector.

Senator Blackburn added that the bill would assist in “achieving enhanced security at foreign airports,” as it requires the federal government to study the feasibility of establishing a “pre-clearance” facility in Taiwan.

H.R.1512

Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act

S.821

H.R.1512

The Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act, which amends the Taiwan Assurance Act of 2020, requires the Department of State to conduct periodic reviews and updates of its guidelines for engagement with Taiwan and Taiwanese officials.

These regular reviews and updates must explain how the guidance enhances U.S.-Taiwan relations, and should identify opportunities to lift any remaining self-imposed limitations on U.S.-Taiwan engagement and articulate a plan to do so.

The House version of the bill requires the Secretary of State to conduct these reviews and submit a report to Congress at least every two years.

The Senate version includes more specific requirements, directing the Secretary of State to: (1) review the “Guidelines on Relations with Taiwan” and related documents at least once every five years, and (2) submit a report to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs within 90 days of each review’s completion.

A Resolution to Counter China’s False Sovereignty Claims over Taiwan

S.Res.86

H.Res.148

This bipartisan, bicameral resolution seeks to counter China’s weaponization of United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758 and its misuse of the U.S. “One China policy” to falsely assert sovereignty over Taiwan and isolate it internationally.

The proposed resolution emphasizes that UNGA Resolution 2758 did not take a position on Taiwan’s ultimate political status, but addressed only the question of which government would represent “China” at the United Nations.

It makes clear that UNGA Resolution 2758 and the United States’ “One China policy” — along with similar policies of its partners — are not equivalent and do not endorse the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) “One China principle,” which falsely claims that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.

The resolution also opposes China’s efforts to prevent Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organizations.

H.Con.Res.8

A Resolution Calling for U.S.-Taiwan Diplomatic Ties

This concurrent resolution calls on the U.S. to (1) resume normal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, (2) abandon its outdated, counter-productive, and dishonest “One China Policy,” (3) negotiate a bilateral U.S.-Taiwan free trade agreement (FTA), and (4) support Taiwan’s full membership in international organizations.

“[Taiwan] is a free, democratic, and independent nation, and it is past time for U.S. policy to reflect this undeniable objective truth,” said Congressman Tiffany in a press release issued on February 6, 2025.

H.R.910

Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act

The Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act urges the U.S. to support Taiwan’s admission into the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a member.

The bill also advocates for Taiwan’s participation in the IMF’s regular surveillance activities, employment opportunities at the IMF for Taiwan nationals, and access to IMF technical assistance and training.

U.S.-Taiwan Double Taxation Relief Legislation

S.199

H.R.33

This bipartisan legislation provides double-tax relief on U.S.-Taiwan cross-border investment and authorizes the President to negotiate a tax agreement with Taiwan to ensure broader bilateral tax relief and benefits.

The bill will bolster U.S.-Taiwan trade and economic ties while supporting American and Taiwanese workers and businesses operating in each other’s markets. By eliminating double-taxation disincentives, it will also encourage greater Taiwanese investment in the United States.
