STEEL, and Mr. DONALDS) submitted the following concurrent resolution; 
which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the International 
Olympic Committee should allow Taiwan to participate 
in the 2024 Summer Olympics under the national name, 
flag, and anthem of its own choosing. 
Whereas, according to the Olympic Charter, ‘‘The practice of 
sport is a human right. Every individual must have ac-
cess to the practice of sport, without discrimination of 
any kind in respect of internationally recognized human 
rights within the remit of the Olympic Movement. The 
Olympic spirit requires mutual understanding with a 
spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.’’; 
Whereas the Olympic Charter states that, ‘‘The enjoyment of 
the rights and freedoms set forth in this Olympic Charter 
shall be secured without discrimination of any kind, such

as race, color, sex, sexual orientation, language, religion, 
political or other opinion, national or social origin, prop-
erty, birth or other status.’’; 
Whereas the Olympic Charter further states that the role of 
the International Olympic Committee is, among other 
things, ‘‘to oppose any political or commercial abuse of 
sport and athletes’’; 
Whereas the International Olympic Committee unfairly pres-
sured Taiwan to abandon its national name as a condi-
tion for participating in the Games because of political 
pressure from the People’s Republic of China; 
Whereas the display of Taiwan’s national flag and the play-
ing of its national anthem are prohibited even when ath-
letes from Taiwan win medals; 
Whereas Taiwan’s athletes, like athletes from all partici-
pating countries, have exhibited years of hard work, dedi-
cation, and disciplined training for the right to proudly 
represent their country in the Olympic Games; 
Whereas Taiwanese athletes have won a combined total of 36 
gold, silver, and bronze medals in both Summer and Win-
ter Games appearances; and 
Whereas athletes from Taiwan are unfairly required to com-
pete under the name ‘‘Chinese Taipei’’ in order to perpet-
uate the fiction that Taiwan is a part of the People’s Re-
public of China even though Taiwan has never been 
under the control of the People’s Republic of China for

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—

(1) discriminatory treatment of Taiwan by the 
International Olympic Committee is unfair, inappro-
priate, and contradicts the spirit of both the Olym-
pic Charter and the Olympic Movement; and 
(2) the International Olympic Committee should 
live up to the ideals of the Olympic Charter and 
allow Taiwan to compete under the national name, 
flag, and anthem of its own choosing.
