Taiwan International Solidarity Act

# Taiwan International Solidarity Act (S 2224) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to strengthen U.S. support for Taiwan's international presence and participation in global affairs. It would direct the U.S. government to advocate for Taiwan's inclusion in international organizations where statehood isn't required (such as technical and scientific bodies), increase diplomatic coordination with allies on Taiwan-related issues, and enhance oversight of U.S.-Taiwan relations through Congress. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects U.S.-Taiwan relations and U.S. foreign policy.

It also impacts Taiwan's ability to participate in international forums and China's influence in global governance, since Beijing currently opposes Taiwan's independent participation in most international bodies. The bill would also affect American diplomatic efforts and congressional involvement in Asia-Pacific policy. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced to a full Senate vote. It was introduced by Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) during the 119th Congress. Like many bills in committee, it may be debated, amended, or set aside depending on congressional priorities.
