<DELETED>SEC. 2. FINDINGS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) Since 1949, the close relationship between the 
        United States and Taiwan has been of enormous benefit to both 
        parties and to the Indo-Pacific region as a whole.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) The Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 
        U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) has enabled the people of the United 
        States and the people of Taiwan to maintain a strong and 
        important relationship that promotes regional security, 
        prosperity, and shared democratic values.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) The security of Taiwan and the ability for the 
        people of Taiwan to determine their own future is fundamental 
        to United States interests and values.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The Taipei Economic and Cultural 
        Representative Office in the United States and the American 
        Institute in Taiwan facilitate critical consular relations 
        that--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) protect the interests of the people of 
                the United States and the people of Taiwan; 
                and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) strengthen people-to-people 
                ties.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) Increased engagement between public officials, 
        commercial interests, civil society leaders, and others 
        enhances Taiwanese-American relations and its economic, 
        security, and democratic dimensions.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) Taiwan serves as a critical partner on 
        regional and transnational issues, such as public health, 
        climate change, critical and emerging technologies, 
        cybersecurity, trade, and freedom of navigation.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) Taiwan exemplifies a thriving democracy 
        consisting of more than 23,000,000 people who value their 
        suffrage, free markets, right to due process, freedom of 
        expression, and other individual liberties.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (8) President Xi Jinping of the People's Republic 
        of China (referred to in this Act as the ``PRC'') continues to 
        repeat his desire to stifle the freedom of Taiwan, as evidenced 
        by his July 2021 proclamation, in which he stated, ``All sons 
        and daughters of China, including compatriots on both sides of 
        the Taiwan Strait, must work together and move forward in 
        solidarity, resolutely smashing any Taiwan independence 
        plots.''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (9) As President Xi Jinping concentrates his power 
        in the Chinese Communist Party (referred to in this Act as the 
        ``CCP''), he is escalating the PRC's campaign of coercion and 
        intimidation against Taiwan, as evidenced by--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) the accelerated preparations made by 
                the PRC and its People's Liberation Army (referred to 
                in this Act as the ``PLA'') for an offensive attack 
                against Taiwan, such as the PLA's January 2022 
                incursion of nearly 40 fighters, bombers, and other 
                warplanes into Taiwan's air defense identification 
                zone;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) the PLA's growing offensive 
                preparations in the Taiwan Strait, such as amphibious 
                assault and live-fire exercises and record-scale 
                incursions into Taiwanese air space;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) the Foreign Ministry's diplomatic 
                efforts to isolate Taiwan, such as abusing its position 
                in international intuitions and multilateral fora to 
                exclude Taiwanese participation despite Taiwan's 
                demonstrated expertise in relevant subjects, such as 
                public health;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (D) threats and actions to compromise 
                Taiwan's economy and critical suppliers, such as 
                draconian export controls and the ``31 Measures'' 
                intended to lure Taiwanese talent to mainland China and 
                away from Taiwan;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (E) persistent and targeted cyberattacks, 
                numbering nearly 20,000,000 per month, which are 
                intended to compromise Taiwan's critical infrastructure 
                and inflict civilian harm; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (F) political and economic pressure on 
                other countries who seek closer ties with Taiwan, such 
                as recent export controls related to Lithuania after 
                Lithuania announced a permanent Taiwanese 
                Representative Office in Lithuania.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (10) On multiple occasions, through both formal 
        and informal channels, the United States has expressed its 
        concern for the PRC's destabilizing activities in the Taiwan 
        Strait and on the international stage that aim to subvert 
        Taiwan's democratic intuitions.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (11) The Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United 
        States--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) identifies Taiwan as an important 
                leading regional partner;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) seeks to bolster Taiwan's self-defense 
                capabilities; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) reaffirms that Taiwan's future must be 
                determined peacefully and in accordance with the wishes 
                and best interests of the people of Taiwan.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (12) The PRC considers stifling the freedom of 
        Taiwan as a critical and necessary step to displacing the 
        United States as the preeminent military power in the Indo-
        Pacific and continues its modernization campaign to enhance the 
        power-projection capabilities of the PLA and its ability to 
        conduct joint operations.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (13) Taiwan maintains a modern, ready, self-
        defense force that adheres to the highest democratic principles 
        and benefits from continued state of the art security 
        assistance.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (14) It is a vital national security interest of 
        the United States to defend Taiwan for the purposes of--
        </DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) mitigating the PLA's ability to 
                project power and establish contested zones within the 
                First and Second Island Chains and limiting the PLA's 
                freedom of maneuver to conduct unconstrained power 
                projection capabilities beyond the First Island Chain 
                in order to protect United States territory, such as 
                Hawaii and Guam;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) defending the territorial integrity of 
                Indo-Pacific allies, such as Japan;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) deterring other countries and 
                competitors from exercising force as a means to revise 
                the established status quo;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (D) championing democratic institutions 
                and societies in the Indo-Pacific region and throughout 
                the world; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (E) maintaining a rules-based 
                international order that--</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (i) constrains authoritarian 
                        powers;</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (ii) enshrines collective 
                        security;</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (iii) promotes democracy and 
                        respect for human rights and fundamental 
                        freedoms; and</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (iv) promotes peace and 
                        prosperity.</DELETED>

<DELETED>TITLE V--ENHANCED DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC COOPERATION BETWEEN 
                 THE UNITED STATES AND TAIWAN</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 501. FINDINGS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Congress makes the following findings:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) Taiwan has been an important trading partner 
        of the United States for many years, accounting for 
        $114,000,000,000 in two-way trade in 2021.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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, a number that will only 
        increase with a comprehensive bilateral trade 
        agreement.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) In addition to supplementing United States 
        goods and services, Taiwan is a reliable partner in many of our 
        Nation's industries, which is not only critical for 
        diversifying our Nation's supply chains, but is also essential 
        to reducing our Nation's reliance on other countries, such as 
        China, who seek to leverage supply chain inefficiencies in 
        their path to regional and global dominance. Such 
        diversification of our Nation's supply chain is critical to 
        United States national security.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The challenges to establishing an agreement 
        with Taiwan, such as reaching an agreement on agricultural 
        standards, will not prevent the completion of a bilateral trade 
        agreement. Taiwan has already taken steps to further the 
        progress towards such an agreement by announcing its intent to 
        lift their restrictions on United States pork and beef 
        products, 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 substantial negotiations for a 
        comprehensive bilateral trade agreement with Taiwan.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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 advance its economic 
        dominance in the Indo-Pacific region. An agreement with Taiwan 
        would--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) help the United States accomplish this 
                goal by building a network of like-minded governments 
                dedicated to fair competition and open markets that are 
                free from government manipulation; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) serve as a signal to other nations 
                that Taiwan is a viable partner that is open for 
                business.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) Since November 2020, Taiwan and the United 
        States have engaged in the U.S.-Taiwan Economic Prosperity 
        Partnership Dialogue, covering a broad range of economic issues 
        including--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) 5G networks and telecommunications 
                security;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) supply chains resiliency;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) infrastructure cooperation;</DELETED>

                <DELETED>    (E) global heath; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (F) science and technology.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) A trade agreement between the United States 
        and Taiwan would promote security and economic growth for the 
        United States, Taiwan, and the entire Indo-Pacific 
        region.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (8) Leaving Taiwan out of the conversation on 
        Indo-Pacific Economic Framework would--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) create significant distortions for the 
                structure of the regional and global economic 
                architecture; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) run counter to the United States

        <DELETED>    (3) Despite a concerted campaign by the People's 
        Republic of China to isolate Taiwan from its diplomatic 
        partners and from international organizations, including the 
        World Health Organization, Taiwan has emerged as a global 
        leader in the coronavirus global pandemic response, including 
        by donating more than 2,000,000 surgical masks and other 
        medical equipment to the United States.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The creation of a United States fellowship 
        program with Taiwan would support a key priority of expanding 
        people-to-people exchanges, which was outlined in the 
        President's 2017 National Security Strategy.</DELETED>

Party to compel private United States businesses, corporations, and 
nongovernmental entities to use language mandated by the People's 
Republic of China (referred to in this section as the ``PRC'') to 
describe the relationship between Taiwan and the PRC are an 
illegitimate attempt to enforce political censorship 
globally.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that

affiliated entities, the aim of which is--</DELETED>

                <DELETED>    (C) the 2 key obstacles to peaceful 
                resolution are--</DELETED>

                        1982; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (D) any attempt to coerce or force the 
                people of Taiwan to accept a political arrangement that 
                would subject them to direct or indirect rule by the 
                PRC, including a ``one country, two systems''

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since 1949, the close relationship between the United 
        States and Taiwan has been of enormous benefit to both parties 
        and to the Indo-Pacific region as a whole.
            (2) The Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 
        3301 et seq.) has enabled the people of the United States and 
        the people of Taiwan to maintain a strong and important 
        relationship that promotes regional security, prosperity, and 
        shared democratic values.
            (3) The security of Taiwan and the ability for the people 
        of Taiwan to determine their own future are fundamental to 
        United States interests and values.
            (4) The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office 
        in the United States and the American Institute in Taiwan 
        facilitate critical consular relations that--
                    (A) protect the interests of the people of the 
                United States and the people of Taiwan; and
                    (B) strengthen people-to-people ties.
            (5) Increased engagement between public officials, 
        commercial interests, civil society leaders, and others 
        enhances United States-Taiwan relations and its economic, 
        security, and democratic dimensions.
            (6) Taiwan serves as a critical partner on regional and 
        transnational issues, such as public health, climate change, 
        critical and emerging technologies, cybersecurity, trade, and 
        freedom of navigation.
            (7) Taiwan exemplifies a thriving democracy consisting of 
        more than 23,000,000 people who value their suffrage, free 
        markets, right to due process, freedom of expression, and other 
        individual liberties.
            (8) President Xi Jinping of the People's Republic of China 
        (referred to in this Act as the ``PRC'') continues to repeat 
        his desire to stifle the freedom of Taiwan, as evidenced by his 
        July 2021 proclamation, in which he stated, ``All sons and 
        daughters of China, including compatriots on both sides of the 
        Taiwan Strait, must work together and move forward in 
        solidarity, resolutely smashing any Taiwan independence 
        plots.''.
            (9) As President Xi Jinping concentrates his power in the 
        Chinese Communist Party (referred to in this Act as the 
        ``CCP''), he is escalating the PRC's campaign of coercion and 
        intimidation against Taiwan, as evidenced by--
                    (A) the accelerated preparations made by the PRC 
                and its People's Liberation Army (referred to in this 
                Act as the ``PLA'') for an offensive attack against 
                Taiwan, such as the PLA's January 2022 incursion of 
                nearly 40 fighters, bombers, and other warplanes into 
                Taiwan's air defense identification zone;
                    (B) the PLA's growing offensive preparations in the 
                Taiwan Strait, such as amphibious assault and live-fire 
                exercises and record-scale incursions into Taiwanese 
                air space;
                    (C) the Foreign Ministry's diplomatic efforts to 
                isolate Taiwan, such as abusing its position in 
                international institutions and multilateral fora to 
                exclude Taiwanese participation despite Taiwan's 
                demonstrated expertise in relevant subjects, such as 
                public health;
                    (D) threats and actions to compromise Taiwan's 
                economy and critical suppliers, such as draconian 
                export controls and the ``31 Measures'' intended to 
                lure Taiwanese talent to mainland China and away from 
                Taiwan;
                    (E) persistent and targeted cyberattacks, numbering 
                nearly 20,000,000 per month, which are intended to 
                compromise Taiwan's critical infrastructure and inflict 
                civilian harm;
                    (F) political and economic pressure on other 
                countries who seek closer ties with Taiwan, such as 
                recent export controls related to Lithuania after 
                Lithuania announced a permanent Taiwanese 
                Representative Office in Lithuania.
            (10) On multiple occasions, through both formal and 
        informal channels, the United States has expressed its concern 
        for the PRC's destabilizing activities in the Taiwan Strait and 
        on the international stage that aim to subvert Taiwan's 
        democratic institutions.
            (11) The Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States--
                    (A) identifies Taiwan as an important leading 
                regional partner;
                    (B) seeks to bolster Taiwan's self-defense 
                capabilities; and
                    (C) reaffirms that Taiwan's future must be 
                determined peacefully and in accordance with the wishes 
                and best interests of the people of Taiwan.
            (12) The PRC considers stifling the freedom of Taiwan as a 
        critical and necessary step to displacing the United States as 
        the preeminent military power in the Indo-Pacific and continues 
        its modernization campaign to enhance the power-projection 
        capabilities of the PLA and its ability to conduct joint 
        operations.
            (13) Taiwan maintains a modern, ready, self-defense force 
        that adheres to the highest democratic principles and benefits 
        from continued state of the art security assistance.
            (14) The defense of Taiwan is critical to--
                    (A) mitigating the PLA's ability to project power 
                and establish contested zones within the First and 
                Second Island Chains and limiting the PLA's freedom of 
                maneuver to engage in unconstrained power projection 
                beyond the First Island Chain in order to protect 
                United States territory, such as Hawaii and Guam;
                    (B) defending the territorial integrity of Indo-
                Pacific allies, such as Japan;
                    (C) deterring other countries and competitors from 
                exercising force as a means to revise the established 
                status quo;
                    (D) championing democratic institutions and

      TITLE IV--INCLUSION OF TAIWAN IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

SEC. 401. PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.

    (a) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to 
promote Taiwan's inclusion and meaningful participation in 
international organizations.
    (b) Support for Meaningful Participation.--The Permanent 
Representative of the United States to the United Nations and other 
relevant United States officials shall actively support Taiwan's 
meaningful participation in all appropriate international 
organizations.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit a report to the 
appropriate congressional committees that--
            (1) describes the People's Republic of China's efforts at 
        the United Nations and other international bodies to block 
        Taiwan's meaningful participation and inclusion; and
            (2) recommends appropriate responses that should be taken 
        by the United States to carry out the policy described in 
        subsection (a).

SEC. 402. PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN THE INTER-AMERICAN 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-American 
        Development Bank (referred to in this title as the ``IDB'') and 
        increasing allied engagement in the Western Hemisphere 
        reinforces United States national interests;
            (3) Taiwan's significant contribution to the development 
        and economies of Latin America and the Caribbean demonstrate 
        that Taiwan's membership in the IDB as a non-borrowing member 
        would benefit 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 provides to Latin America and the Caribbean to 
        reach a larger number of beneficiaries.

SEC. 403. PLAN FOR TAIWAN'S PARTICIPATION IN THE INTER-AMERICAN 
              DEVELOPMENT BANK.

    The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of the 
Treasury, is authorized--
            (1) to initiate a United States plan to endorse non-
        borrowing IDB membership for Taiwan; and
            (2) to instruct the United States Governor of the IDB to 
        work with the IDB Board of Governors to admit Taiwan as a non-
        borrowing member of the IDB.

SEC. 404. REPORT CONCERNING MEMBER STATE STATUS FOR TAIWAN AT THE 
              INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK.

    Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
and not later than April 1 of each year thereafter for the following 5 
years, the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of 
the Treasury, shall submit an unclassified report to the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of 
the House of Representatives that--
            (1) describes the United States plan to endorse and obtain 
        non-borrowing membership status for Taiwan at the IDB;
            (2) includes an account of the efforts made by the 
        Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury to 
        encourage IDB member states to promote Taiwan's bid to obtain 
        non-borrowing membership at the IDB; and
            (3) identifies the steps that the Secretary of State and 
        the Secretary of the Treasury will take to endorse and obtain 
        non-borrowing membership status for Taiwan at the IDB in the 
        following year.

                and meaningful participation of Taiwan and its people 
                in the United Nations or in any related organizations; 
                and
                    ``(C) did not take a position on the relationship

            ``(11) The United States opposes any initiative that seeks

SEC. 406. MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL 
              AVIATION ORGANIZATION.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 
        should allow Taiwan to meaningfully participate in the 
        organization, including in ICAO triennial assembly sessions, 
        conferences, technical working groups, meetings, activities, 
        and mechanisms;
            (2) Taiwan is a global leader and hub for international 
        aviation, with a range of expertise, information, and resources 
        and the fifth busiest airport in Asia (Taoyuan International 
        Airport), and its meaningful participation in ICAO would 
        significantly enhance the ability of ICAO to ensure the safety 
        and security of global aviation; and
            (3) coercion by the Chinese Communist Party and the 
        People's Republic of China has ensured the systematic exclusion 
        of Taiwan from meaningful participation in ICAO, significantly 
        undermining the ability of ICAO to ensure the safety and 
        security of global aviation.
    (b) Plan for Taiwan's Meaningful Participation in the International 
Civil Aviation Organization.--The Secretary of State, in coordination 
with the Secretary of Commerce, is authorized--
            (1) to initiate a United States plan to secure Taiwan's 
        meaningful participation in ICAO, including in ICAO triennial 
        assembly sessions, conferences, technical working groups, 
        meetings, activities, and mechanisms; and
            (2) to instruct the United States representative to the 
        ICAO to--
                    (A) use the voice and vote of the United States to 
                ensure Taiwan's meaningful participation in ICAO, 
                including in ICAO triennial assembly sessions, 
                conferences, technical working groups, meetings, 
                activities, and mechanisms; and
                    (B) seek to secure a vote at the next ICAO 
                triennial assembly session on the question of Taiwan's 
                participation in that session.
    (c) Report Concerning Taiwan's Meaningful Participation in the 
International Civil Aviation Organization.--Not later than 90 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, and not later than April 1 
of each year thereafter for the following 6 years, the Secretary of 
State, in coordination with the Secretary of Commerce, shall submit an 
unclassified report to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate 
and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) describes the United States plan to ensure Taiwan's 
        meaningful participation in ICAO, including in ICAO triennial 
        assembly sessions, conferences, technical working groups, 
        meetings, activities, and mechanisms;
            (2) includes an account of the efforts made by the 
        Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce to ensure 
        Taiwan's meaningful participation in ICAO, including in ICAO 
        triennial assembly sessions, conferences, technical working 
        groups, meetings, activities, and mechanisms; and
            (3) identifies the steps the Secretary of State and the 
        Secretary of Commerce will take in the next year to ensure 
        Taiwan's meaningful participation in ICAO, including in ICAO 
        triennial assembly sessions, conferences, technical working 
        groups, meetings, activities, and mechanisms.

  TITLE V--ENHANCED DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC COOPERATION BETWEEN THE 
                        UNITED STATES AND TAIWAN

SEC. 501. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Taiwan has been an important trading partner 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 diversification 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 agricultural 
        standards, must not prevent the completion of a bilateral trade 
        agreement. Taiwan has already taken steps to further the 
        progress towards such an agreement by announcing its intent to 
        lift restrictions on United States pork and beef products, 
        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 substantial 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 advance its economic dominance 
        in the Indo-Pacific region. An agreement with Taiwan would--
                    (A) help the United States accomplish this goal by 
                building a network of like-minded governments dedicated 
                to fair competition and open markets that are free from 
                government manipulation; and
                    (B) encourage other nations to deepen economic ties 
                with Taiwan.
            (6) Since November 2020, Taiwan and the United States have 
        engaged in the U.S.-Taiwan Economic 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 economic 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 regional 
                and global economic architecture; and
                    (B) run counter to the United States' economic 
                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 exploring an income tax agreement to boost 
        bilateral trade and investment by reducing double taxation and 
        increasing economic efficiency and integration.

SEC. 502. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON A FREE TRADE AGREEMENT AND BILATERAL TAX 
              AGREEMENT WITH TAIWAN, THE INDO-PACIFIC ECONOMIC 
              FRAMEWORK, AND CBP PRECLEARANCE.

    It is the Sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States Trade Representative should resume 
        meetings under the United States and Taiwan Trade and 
        Investment Framework Agreement with the goal of reaching a 
        bilateral free trade agreement with Taiwan;
            (2) the United States Trade Representative should undertake 
        efforts to assess whether the Agreement Concerning Digital 
        Trade, signed at Washington October 7, 2019, and entered into 
        force January 1, 2020, between the United States and Japan, 
        provides a model for a similar agreement between the United 
        States and Taiwan to strengthen economic ties with Taiwan in 
        key sectors;
            (3) the United States Trade Representative and the 
        Secretary of Commerce should undertake efforts to assure 
        Taiwan's engagement and participation in the Indo-Pacific 
        Economic Framework;
            (4) the United States should utilize and expand 
        Preclearance programs to meet the needs of the United States 
        travel and tourism industry, including by prioritizing the 
        establishment of Preclearance facilities with Indo-Pacific 
        allies and partners, including Taiwan; and
            (5) the United States should--
                    (A) begin negotiations on an income tax agreement 
                between the American Institute in Taiwan and the Taipei 
                Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the 
                United States; and
                    (B) work on a congressional-executive agreement to 
                establish such an income tax agreement.

SEC. 503. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES-TAIWAN DEVELOPMENT 
              COOPERATION.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States and Taiwan share common development 
        goals in a wide range of sectors, including public health, 
        agriculture, food security, democracy and governance, and 
        education;
            (2) enhanced cooperation between the United States and 
        Taiwan would better advance these goals; and
            (3) the United States Agency for International Development 
        should explore opportunities to partner with Taiwan on projects 
        in developing countries related to inclusive economic growth, 
        resilience, global health, education, infrastructure, 
        humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and other areas.

 TITLE VI--SUPPORTING UNITED STATES EDUCATIONAL AND EXCHANGE PROGRAMS 
                              WITH TAIWAN

SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Taiwan Fellowship Act''.

SEC. 602. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 
        3301 et seq.) affirmed United States policy ``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''.
            (2) Consistent with the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act of 
        2018 (Public Law 115-409), the United States has grown its 
        strategic partnership with Taiwan's vibrant democracy of 
        23,000,000 people.
            (3) Despite a concerted campaign by the People's Republic 
        of China to isolate Taiwan from its diplomatic partners and 
        from international organizations, including the World Health 
        Organization, Taiwan has emerged as a global leader in the 
        coronavirus global pandemic response, including by donating 
        more than 2,000,000 surgical masks and other medical equipment 
        to the United States.
            (4) The creation of a United States fellowship program with 
        Taiwan would support--
                    (A) a key priority of expanding people-to-people 
                exchanges, which was outlined in President Donald J. 
                Trump's 2017 National Security Strategy;
                    (B) President Joseph R. Biden's commitment to 
                Taiwan, ``a leading democracy and a critical economic 
                and security partner'', as expressed in his March 2021 
                Interim National Security Strategic Guidance; and
                    (C) April 2021 guidance from the Department of 
                State based on a review required under the Taiwan 
                Assurance Act of 2020 (subtitle B of title III of 
                division FF of Public Law 116-260) to ``encourage U.S. 
                government engagement with Taiwan that reflects our 
                deepening unofficial relationship''.

SEC. 603. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to further strengthen the United States-Taiwan 
        strategic partnership and broaden understanding of the Indo-
        Pacific region by temporarily assigning officials of any 
        agencies of the United States Government to Taiwan for 
        intensive study in Mandarin and placement as Fellows with the 
        government in Taiwan or a Taiwanese civic institution;
            (2) to provide for eligible United States personnel--
                    (A) to learn or strengthen Mandarin Chinese 
                language skills; and
                    (B) to expand their understanding of the political 
                economy of Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region; and
            (3) to better position the United States to advance its 
        economic, security, and human rights interests and values in 
        the Indo-Pacific region.

SEC. 703. PROHIBITIONS AGAINST UNDERMINING UNITED STATES POLICY 
              REGARDING TAIWAN.

    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the efforts by the Government of 
the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party to 
compel private United States businesses, corporations, and 
nongovernmental entities to use language mandated by the People's 
Republic of China (referred to in this section as the ``PRC'') to 
describe the relationship between Taiwan and the PRC are an 
illegitimate attempt to enforce political censorship globally.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States Government, in coordination with United States businesses and 
nongovernmental entities, should formulate a code of conduct for, and 
otherwise coordinate on, interacting with the Government of the PRC and 
the Chinese Communist Party and their affiliated entities, the aim of 
which is--
            (1) to counter PRC operations that threaten free speech, 
        academic freedom, and the normal operations of United States 
        businesses and nongovernmental entities; and
            (2) to counter PRC efforts to censor the way the world 
        refers to issues deemed sensitive to the PRC Government and 
        Chinese Communist Party leaders, including issues related to 
        Taiwan, Tibet, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and the mass 
        internment of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims, among many 
        other issues.
    (c) Prohibition Against Recognizing the People's Republic of 
China's Claims to Sovereignty Over Taiwan.--
            (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                    (A) issues related to the sovereignty of Taiwan are 
                for the people of Taiwan to decide through the 
                democratic process they have established;
                    (B) the dispute between the PRC and Taiwan must be 
                resolved peacefully and with the assent of the people 
                of Taiwan;
                    (C) the 2 key obstacles to peaceful resolution 
                are--
                            (i) the authoritarian nature of the PRC 
                        political system under one-party rule of the 
                        Chinese Communist Party, which is fundamentally 
                        incompatible with Taiwan's democracy; and
                            (ii) the PRC's pursuit of coercion and 
                        aggression towards Taiwan, in potential 
                        violation of the third United States-PRC Joint 
                        Communique, which was completed on August 17, 
                        1982;
                    (D) any attempt to coerce or force the people of 
                Taiwan to accept a political arrangement that would 
                subject them to direct or indirect rule by the PRC, 
                including a ``one country, two systems'' framework, 
                would constitute a grave challenge to United States 
                security interests in the region.
            (2) Statement of policy.--It is the policy of the United 
        States to oppose any attempt by the PRC authorities to 
        unilaterally impose a timetable or deadline for unification on 
        Taiwan.
            (3) Prohibition on recognition of prc claims without the 
        assent of people of taiwan.--No department or agency of the 
        United States Government may formally or informally recognize 
        PRC claims to sovereignty over Taiwan without the assent of the 
        people of Taiwan, as expressed directly through the democratic 
        process.

Nongovernmental Entities From Coercion.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in 
        consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of

        nongovernmental entities from PRC operations, including 
        coercion and threats that lead to censorship or self-
        censorship, or which compel compliance with political or

        Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party.

                    (A) information regarding efforts by the PRC

                relationship between Taiwan and the PRC;
                    (B) information regarding efforts by the PRC 
                Government to target United States nongovernmental
