                                 A BILL


 
  To require the imposition of sanctions with respect to the People's 
Republic of China if the People's Liberation Army initiates a military 
                          invasion of Taiwan.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Sanctions Targeting Aggressors of 
Neighboring Democracies with Taiwan Act of 2023'' or the ``STAND with 
Taiwan Act of 2023''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Taiwan is a free and prosperous democracy of nearly 
        24,000,000 people, an important contributor to peace and 
        stability around the world, and continues to embody and promote 
        democratic values, freedom, and human rights in Asia.
            (2) The policy of the United States toward Taiwan is guided 
        by the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the 
        United States-People's Republic of China joint communiques 
        concluded in 1972, 1978, and 1982, and the Six Assurances that 
        President Ronald Reagan communicated to Taiwan in 1982.
            (3) Under section 2 of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 
        3301), it is the policy of the United States--
                    (A) ``to preserve and promote extensive, close, and 
                friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations 
                between the people of the United States and the people 
                on Taiwan, as well as the people on the China mainland 
                and all other peoples of the Western Pacific area'';
                    (B) ``to declare that peace and stability in the 
                area are in the political, security, and economic 
                interests of the United States, and are matters of 
                international concern'';
                    (C) ``to make clear that the United States decision 
                to establish diplomatic relations with the People's 
                Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the 
                future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful 
                means'';
                    (D) ``to consider any effort to determine the 
                future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, 
                including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the 
                peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of 
                grave concern to the United States'';
                    (E) ``to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive 
                character''; and
                    (F) ``to maintain the capacity of the United States 
                to resist any resort to force or other forms of 
                coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the 
                social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan''.
            (4) For decades and increasingly since the election of 
        President Tsai Ing-wen as President of Taiwan in 2016, the 
        Chinese Communist Party has employed a variety of coercive 
        military and nonmilitary tactics short of armed conflict in its 
        efforts to exert existential pressure on Taiwan, including 
        through diplomatic isolation, restricting tourism, 
        cyberattacks, spreading disinformation, and controlling the 
        ability of Taiwan to purchase COVID-19 vaccines from other 
        countries.
            (5) Since 2020, military incursions by the People's 
        Republic of China into Taiwan's air defense identification zone 
        have been occurring at a rapidly increasing pace. In 2022, such 
        incursions occurred 1,700 times, nearly double the total in 
        2021, which was itself almost triple the 2020 total.
            (6) Since 2021, there has been a notable increase in 
        military provocations by the People's Liberation Army against 
        Taiwan, including incursions over the midline separating the 
        People's Republic of China from Taiwan, holding military 
        exercises in the vicinity of Taiwan's controlled waters, and 
        performing live-fire exercises in the South China Sea.
            (7) In August 2022, the People's Republic of China held 
        unprecedented live-fire military exercises and a simulated 
        blockade involving hundreds of military aircraft, dozens of 
        warships, and launches of short-range ballistic missiles over 
        the territory of Taiwan.
            (8) The People's Republic of China is attempting to erase 
        the midline separating it from Taiwan, increasing the prospects 
        for incidental contact between forces of the People's Republic 
        of China and Taiwan as well as shorting reaction times related 
        to provocations by the People's Republic of China.
            (9) On August 10, 2022, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the 
        State Council of the People's Republic of China released a 
        white paper entitled ``The Taiwan Question and China's 
        Reunification in the New Era'' that reiterated the long-
        standing position of the Government of the People's Republic of 
        China not to renounce the use of force to bring about 
        unification with Taiwan and to ``always be ready to respond 
        with the use of force . . . to interference by external forces 
        or radical action by separatist elements''.
            (10) In March 2021, then Commander of the United States 
        Indo-Pacific Command Admiral Philip Davidson testified that the 
        threat of a military invasion of Taiwan by the People's 
        Liberation Army ``is manifest during this decade, in fact in 
        the next six years''.
            (11) In March 2021, then Commander of the United States 
        Pacific Fleet Admiral John Aquilino testified that the threat 
        of a military invasion by the People's Liberation Army of 
        Taiwan is ``much closer to us than most think'' and could 
        materialize well before 2035.
            (12) On February 24, 2022, the Armed Forces of the Russian 
        Federation initiated an unprovoked and unjustified invasion of 
        Ukraine, resulting in at least 14,000 civilian casualties, 
        including more than 5,000 deaths.
            (13) The Russian Federation invasion has destabilized 
        global markets and supply chains, from energy to food, 
        contributing to high inflation and recession in the United 
        States and deep cuts to global gross domestic product.
            (14) With the assistance of the United States and European 
        allies, Ukrainian forces have successfully repelled the Russian 
        Federation invasion and recaptured significant portions of 
        territory taken by the Russian Federation in the initial stages 
        of the invasion.
            (15) In addition to military power, timely messaging around 
        the use of economic and financial instruments of United States 
        power and their potential use can have an important deterrent 
        effect on the actions of other countries.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) it is in the interests of the United States to maintain 
        a free and open Indo-Pacific region, with peace and stability 
        in the Taiwan Strait as a critical component;
            (2) efforts by the Government of the People's Republic of 
        China and the Chinese Communist Party to unilaterally determine 
        the future of Taiwan through non-peaceful means, including 
        threats and the direct use of force, military coercion, 
        economic boycotts or embargoes, cyberattacks, and efforts to 
        internationally isolate or annex Taiwan--
                    (A) directly undermine the spirit, intent, and 
                purpose of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3301 et 
                seq.);
                    (B) undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan 
                Strait;
                    (C) limit a free and open Indo-Pacific region; and
                    (D) are of grave concern to the Government of the 
                United States;
            (3) the initiation of a military invasion of Taiwan by the 
        People's Liberation Army would--
                    (A) constitute a threat to the peace and security 
                of the Western Pacific Area and threaten the peace 
                stability of the entire globe; and
                    (B) undermine the core political, security, and 
                economic interests of the United States at home and 
                abroad; and
            (4) as an important deterrent measure against a military 
        invasion of Taiwan, the Government of the People's Republic of 
        China and the Chinese Communist Party must understand that 
        initiating such an invasion will result in catastrophic 
        economic and financial consequences for the People's Republic 
        of China.

SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    The policy of the Government of the United States on Taiwan is 
guided by the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the United

1978, and 1982, and the Six Assurances that President Ronald Reagan 
communicated to Taiwan in 1982, but in the event of the initiation of a

                China, and financial institutions and other entities 
                affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party or the 
                Government of the People's Republic of China;
                    (B) prohibiting the listing or trading of the 
                securities of Chinese entities on United States

                mined, produced, or manufactured in the People's 
                Republic of China into the United States; and
            (2) to work in close coordination with allies and partners 
        of the United States to encourage those allies and partners to

        the Chinese Communist Party.

                of order against the joint resolution (and against 
                consideration of the joint resolution) are waived. The 
                motion to proceed is not debatable. The motion is not

                        be limited to not more than 10 hours, which 
                        shall be equally divided between, and
