the following:

‘‘(B) did not address the issue of represen-

Nations or in any related organizations; and 
‘‘(C) did not take a position on the rela-

SEC. 403. PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN THE INTER-AMER-
ICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the United States fully supports Taiwan’s 
participation in, and contribution to, international 
organizations and underscores the importance of the 
relationship between Taiwan and the United States; 
(2) diversifying the donor base of the Inter-

ment in the Western Hemisphere reinforces United 
States national interests;

(3) Taiwan’s significant contribution to the de-
velopment and economies of Latin America and the 
Caribbean demonstrate that Taiwan’s membership 
in the IDB as a non-borrowing member would ben-
efit the IDB and the entire Latin American and 
Caribbean region; and 
(4) non-borrowing membership in the IDB 
would allow Taiwan to substantially leverage and 
channel the immense resources Taiwan already pro-
vides to Latin America and the Caribbean to reach 
a larger number of beneficiaries. 
SEC. 404. PLAN FOR TAIWAN’S PARTICIPATION IN THE 
INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. 
The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Sec-

the IDB to work with the IDB Board of Governors 
to admit Taiwan as a non-borrowing member of the 
IDB.

tion (ICAO) should allow Taiwan to meaningfully

triennial assembly sessions, conferences, technical 
working groups, meetings, activities, and mecha-

(2) Taiwan is a global leader and hub for inter-
national aviation, with a range of expertise, informa-
tion, and resources and the fifth busiest airport in 
Asia (Taoyuan International Airport), and its mean-
ingful participation in ICAO would significantly en-
hance the ability of ICAO to ensure the safety and 
security of global aviation; and

TION IN THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZA-
TION.—The Secretary of State, in coordination with the 
Secretary of Commerce, is authorized—

Taiwan’s meaningful participation in ICAO, includ-
ing in ICAO triennial assembly sessions, con-
ferences, technical working groups, meetings, activi-

TITLE V—ENHANCED DEVELOP-
MENT AND ECONOMIC CO-
OPERATION 
BETWEEN 
THE 
UNITED STATES AND TAIWAN 
SEC. 501. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Taiwan has been an important trading part-
ner of the United States for many years, accounting 
for $114,000,000,000 in two-way trade in 2021. 
(2) Taiwan has demonstrated the capacity to 
hold a strong economic partnership with the United 
States. Along with a robust trading profile of goods 
and services, Taiwan supports an estimated 208,000 
American jobs and its cumulative investment in the 
United States is at least $13,700,000,000, numbers 
that will only increase with a comprehensive bilateral 
trade agreement. 
(3) In addition to supplementing United States 
goods and services, Taiwan is a reliable partner in 
many United States industries, which is not only 
critical for diversifying United States supply chains, 
but is also essential to reducing the United States 
reliance on other countries, such as China, who seek

to leverage supply chain inefficiencies in their path 
to regional and global dominance. Such diversifica-
tion of United States supply chains is critical to our 
national security. 
(4) The challenges to establishing an agreement 
with Taiwan, such as reaching an agreement on ag-
ricultural standards, must not prevent the comple-
tion of a bilateral trade agreement. Taiwan has al-
ready taken steps to further the progress towards 
such an agreement by announcing its intent to lift 
restrictions on United States pork and beef prod-
ucts, which will greatly increase the accessibility of 
American farmers and ranchers to Taiwan markets. 
In light of this important development, the United 
States should immediately move forward with sub-
stantial negotiations for a comprehensive bilateral 
trade agreement with Taiwan. 
(5) A free and open Indo-Pacific is a goal that 
needs to be actively pursued to counter China’s use 
of unfair trading practices and other policies to ad-
vance its economic dominance in the Indo-Pacific re-
gion. An agreement with Taiwan would— 
(A) help the United States accomplish this 
goal by building a network of like-minded gov-
ernments dedicated to fair competition and

open markets that are free from government 
manipulation; and 
(B) encourage other nations to deepen eco-
nomic ties with Taiwan. 
(6) Since November 2020, Taiwan and the 
United States have engaged in the U.S.-Taiwan Eco-
nomic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue, covering a 
broad range of economic issues including— 
(A) 5G networks and telecommunications 
security; 
(B) supply chains resiliency; 
(C) infrastructure cooperation; 
(D) renewable energy; 
(E) global health; and 
(F) science and technology. 
(7) A trade agreement between the United 
States and Taiwan would promote security and eco-
nomic growth for the United States, Taiwan, and 
the entire Indo-Pacific region. 
(8) Excluding Taiwan from the Indo-Pacific 
Economic Framework would— 
(A) create significant distortions in the re-
gional and global economic architecture; and 
(B) run counter to the United States eco-
nomic interests.

(9) Taiwan is the United States largest trading 
partner with whom we do not have an income tax 
treaty or agreement. Taiwan has such agreements 
with 34 countries, including countries that have 
trade agreements with the United States and do not 
maintain diplomatic relations with Taiwan. 
(10) The American Chamber of Commerce in 
Taipei, in its ‘‘2022 Taiwan White Paper’’, called 
for the United States and Taiwan to continue ex-
ploring an income tax agreement to boost bilateral 
trade and investment by reducing double taxation 
and increasing economic efficiency and integration.
