America Supports Taiwan Act

Summary

Requires federal agencies to use the name "Chinese Taipei" followed by "Taiwan" in official agency communications and on agency websites, with two limited exceptions, and requires websites be updated within 14 days of enactment. The bill also includes findings about PRC pressure on Taiwan and expresses congressional support for Taiwan's self-defense and for avoiding nomenclature that implies PRC possession, creating a notable tension between the findings and the naming requirement.

• Mandates federal agencies to use "Chinese Taipei" followed by "Taiwan" in official materials.
• Provides two narrow exceptions: historical descriptions of PRC actions and use of a different name required by an international organization.
• Requires agencies to update websites to comply within 14 days of enactment.
• Contains findings affirming support for Taiwan's self-defense and referencing increased PRC military activity near Taiwan.
• Creates an internal naming policy for federal communications but does not appropriate money or create new programs.
• Imposes an administrative compliance burden on federal agencies with a short deadline.
• May create a policy tension between the findings' stated preference for using "Taiwan" and the operative naming requirement.
