The Taiwan International Solidarity Act strengthens U.S. support for Taiwan's international participation by directing American representatives in international organizations to actively oppose China's efforts to misinterpret existing policies regarding Taiwan's status. The bill clarifies that the 1971 UN Resolution 2758, which recognized China's government as the sole legitimate representative of China at the UN, did not address Taiwan's representation or sovereignty status. It requires U.S. officials to use America's voice and vote in international bodies to resist Chinese attempts to distort organizational policies about Taiwan and to encourage allies to oppose China's efforts to undermine Taiwan's diplomatic relationships. The legislation also expands existing reporting requirements to include information about China's attempts to weaken Taiwan's international ties. The bill builds on the 2019 TAIPEI Act and contains no specific funding provisions or implementation deadlines beyond requiring that enhanced reporting begin with the next scheduled report after the bill becomes law.
