(2) work with allies and partners to promote 
peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific and deter 
military acts or other forms of coercive behavior that 
would undermine regional stability. 
TITLE I—SUPPORTING TAIWAN’S 
MEANINGFUL 
PARTICIPA-
TION IN THE INTERNATIONAL 
COMMUNITY 
SEC. 101. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Taiwan has provided monetary, humani-
tarian, and medical assistance to combat diseases 
such as AIDS, tuberculosis, Ebola, and dengue fever 
in countries around the world. During the COVID– 
19 pandemic, Taiwan donated millions of pieces of 
personal protective equipment and COVID–19 tests 
to countries in need. 
(2) Since 2016, the Gambia, Sao Tome and 
Principe, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Burkina 
Faso, El Salvador, the Solomon Islands, and 
Kiribati have severed diplomatic relations with Tai-
wan in favor of diplomatic relations with China. 
(3) Taiwan was invited to participate in the 
World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of 
the World Health Organization (WHO), as an ob-

server annually between 2009 and 2016. Since the 
2016 election of President Tsai, the PRC has in-
creasingly resisted Taiwan’s participation in the 
WHA. Taiwan was not invited to attend the WHA 
in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, or 2021. 
(4) The Taipei Flight Information Region re-
portedly served 1.75 million flights and 68.9 million 
passengers in 2018 and is home to Taiwan Taoyuan 
International airport, the eleventh busiest airport in 
the world. Taiwan has been excluded from partici-
pating at the International Civil Aviation Organiza-
tion (ICAO) since 2013. 
(5) United Nations (UN) General Assembly 
Resolution 2758 does not address the issue of rep-
resentation of Taiwan and its people at the United 
Nations, nor does it give the PRC the right to rep-
resent the people of Taiwan. 
SEC. 102. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TAIWAN’S MEANINGFUL 
PARTICIPATION 
IN 
THE 
INTERNATIONAL 
COMMUNITY. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) Taiwan is free, democratic, and prosperous, 
and is home to 23.5 million people. It is an impor-
tant contributor to the global community, as a model 
for democracy, and by providing expertise in global

health, international aviation security, emerging 
technology development, and with forward looking 
environmental policies; 
(2) multiple United States Government admin-
istrations of both political parties have taken impor-
tant steps to advance Taiwan’s meaningful partici-
pation in international organizations; 
(3) existing efforts to enhance U.S. cooperation 
with Taiwan to provide global public goods, includ-
ing through development assistance, humanitarian 
assistance, and disaster relief in trilateral and multi-
lateral fora is laudable and should continue; 
(4) nonetheless, significant structural, policy, 
and legal barriers remain to advancing Taiwan’s 
meaningful participation in the international com-
munity; and 
(5) efforts to share Taiwan’s expertise with 
other parts of the global community could be further 
enhanced through a systematic approach, along with 
greater attention from Congress and the American 
public to such efforts.

ZATIONS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the

in consultation with other Federal departments and agen-
cies as appropriate, shall submit to the appropriate con-
gressional committees a strategy—

tion in a prioritized set of international organiza-
tions (IOs); and

(b) MATTERS TO BE INCLUDED.— 
(1) IN
GENERAL.—The strategy required in

(A) An assessment of the methods the 
PRC uses to coerce actors to into adhering to 
its ‘‘One-China Principle.’’ The methods shall

IOs, and civil society organizations. The assess-
ment shall also include pressure on commercial 
actors, to the extent it is relevant in the context 
of Taiwan’s meaningful participation in IOs.

(B) An assessment of the policies of for-
eign governments toward the PRC and Taiwan, 
to identify likeminded allies and partners who 
might become public or private partners in the 
strategy. 
(C) A systematic analysis of all IOs, as 
practicable, to identify IOs that best lend them-
selves to advancing Taiwan’s participation. The 
analysis shall include, but is not limited to the 
IOs’— 
(i) policy on the requirements to ob-
tain membership and observer status, as 
well as the foundational documents defin-
ing membership requirements and observer 
status within the IO; 
(ii) participation rules; 
(iii) processes for developing member-
ship requirements and participation rules; 
(iv) policies of current members re-
garding Taiwan’s political status; and 
(v) relative reliance on contributions 
from the PRC and how it may affect inter-
nal decision making. 
(D) An evaluation of the feasibility and ad-
visability of expanding economic, security, and
