This bill strengthens U.S. support for Taiwan in international organizations by directing American representatives to actively oppose Chinese efforts to change Taiwan's status or undermine its international relationships. The legislation clarifies that the 1971 UN resolution recognizing China did not address Taiwan's representation in the UN or take any position on Taiwan's sovereignty, countering Beijing's interpretation that the resolution supports its claims over Taiwan. The bill instructs U.S. officials in international organizations to use America's voice and influence to resist Chinese attempts to distort policies or procedures regarding Taiwan, and encourages U.S. allies to oppose Chinese efforts to undermine Taiwan's diplomatic relationships. It also requires the State Department to report on Chinese attempts to promote its "One China" position and undermine Taiwan's international ties, building on existing reporting requirements from the 2019 TAIPEI Act. The bill passed the House on May 5, 2025, and does not specify additional funding or implementation timelines beyond the existing reporting schedule.
