Taiwan International Solidarity Act

This bill updates an existing Taiwan law to make a few points clear and add new steps. It says a past United Nations vote named China’s government as China’s representative, but it did not decide anything about Taiwan’s seat, voice, or sovereignty in the UN. It also says the United States opposes any change to Taiwan’s status unless the people of Taiwan agree to it .

It directs U.S. officials in international groups to use America’s voice and vote to push back when China tries to twist those groups’ rules or language about Taiwan. It also urges the U.S. to work with allies and partners to resist efforts that weaken Taiwan’s diplomatic ties. The bill adds reporting so Congress can track attempts by China to spread its position, and it applies starting on the date it becomes law, affecting the next required report after that . Overall, it aims to have the United States oppose moves in global organizations that try to settle Taiwan’s status through policy wording or procedures rather than through the will of Taiwan’s people .

• Who is affected: U.S. officials in international organizations, U.S. allies and partners, and people in Taiwan through stronger support in global forums .
• What changes: Clear U.S. stance on a past UN vote; instructions to resist policy “word games” about Taiwan; encouragement for allied support; added reporting to Congress .
• When: Starts on enactment and applies to the next required report after that .
