SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The People's Liberation Army is the principal
instrument of repression within the People's Republic of China,
responsible for occupying Tibet since 1950, massacring hundreds
of students and demonstrators for democracy in Tiananmen Square
on June 4, 1989, and running the Laogai (''reform through
labor'') slave labor camps.
(2) The People's Liberation Army is engaged in a massive
military buildup, which has involved a doubling since 1992 of
announced official figures for military spending by the
People's Republic of China.
(3) The People's Liberation Army is engaging in a major
ballistic missile modernization program which could undermine
peace and stability in East Asia, including 2 new
intercontinental missile programs, 1 submarine-launched missile
program, a new class of compact but long-range cruise missiles,
and an upgrading of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles.
(4) The People's Liberation Army is working to coproduce
the SU-27 fighter with Russia, and is in the process of
purchasing several substantial weapons systems from Russia,
including the 633 model of the Kilo-class submarine and the SS-
N-22 Sunburn missile system specifically designed to
incapacitate United States aircraft carriers and Aegis
cruisers.
(5) The People's Liberation Army has carried out acts of
aggression in the South China Sea, including the February 1995
seizure of the Mischief Reef in the Spratley Islands, which is
claimed by the Philippines.
(6) In July 1995 and in March 1996, the People's Liberation
Army conducted missile tests to intimidate Taiwan when Taiwan
held historic free elections, and those tests effectively
blockaded Taiwan's 2 principal ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung.
(7) The People's Liberation Army has contributed to the
proliferation of technologies relevant to the refinement of
weapons-grade nuclear material, including transferring ring
magnets to Pakistan.
(8) The People's Liberation Army and associated defense
companies have provided ballistic missile components, cruise
missiles, and chemical weapons ingredients to Iran, a country
that the executive branch has repeatedly reported to Congress
is the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world.
(9) In May 1996, United States authorities caught the
People's Liberation Army enterprise Poly Technologies and the
civilian defense industrial company Norinco attempting to
smuggle 2,000 AK-47s into Oakland, California, and offering to
sell urban gangs shoulder-held missile launchers capable of
''taking out a 747'' (which the affidavit of the United States
Customs Service of May 21, 1996, indicated that the
representative of Poly Technologies and Norinco claimed), and
Communist Chinese authorities punished only 4 low-level arms
merchants by sentencing them on May 17, 1997, to brief prison
terms.
(10) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the
People's Republic of China's failure to meet the standards of
the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding with the United States on
intellectual property rights by running factories which pirate
videos, compact discs, and computer software that are products
of the United States.
(11) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the
People's Republic of China's failing to meet the standards of
the February 1997 Memorandum of Understanding with the United
States on textiles by operating enterprises engaged in the
transshipment of textile products to the United States through
third countries.
(12) The estimated $2 billion to $3 billion in annual
earnings of People's Liberation Army enterprises subsidize the
expansion and activities of the People's Liberation Army
described in this subsection.
(13) The commercial activities of the People's Liberation
Army are frequently conducted on noncommercial terms, or for
noncommercial purposes such as military or foreign policy
considerations.

Attest:

ROBIN H. CARLE,

Clerk.
Directs the Secretary of Defense to list, and publish in the Federal Register, persons who are Communist Chinese military companies operating directly or indirectly in the United States or any of its territories and possessions.

SECTION 1. PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized
agency of the United Nations, charged with coordinating health
efforts within the United Nations system. The World Health
Assembly (WHA) is the decision-making body of the WHO, which
convenes annually in May to set the policies and priorities of
the organization. Statehood is not a requirement for attendance
at the WHA, and numerous observers, including non-members and
non-governmental organizations, attended the most recent WHA in
May 2017.
(2) Taiwan began seeking to participate in the WHO as an
observer in 1997. In 2009, with strong support from successive
United States Administrations, Congress, and like-minded WHO
Member States, and during a period of improved Cross-Strait
relations, Taiwan received an invitation to attend the WHA as
an observer under the name ''Chinese Taipei''. Taiwan received
the same invitation each year until 2016, when following the
election of President Tsai-Ing Wen of the Democratic
Progressive Party, Taiwan's engagement in the international
community began facing increased resistance from the People's
Republic of China (PRC). Taiwan's invitation to the 2016 WHA
was received late and included new language conditioning
Taiwan's participation on the PRC's ''one China principle''. In
2017, Taiwan did not receive an invitation to the WHA.
(3) Taiwan remains a model contributor to world health,
having provided financial and technical assistance to respond
to numerous global health challenges. Taiwan has invested over
$6 billion in international medical and humanitarian aid
efforts impacting over 80 countries since 1996. In 2014, Taiwan
responded to the Ebola crisis by donating $1 million and
providing 100,000 sets of personal protective equipment.
Through the Global Cooperation and Training Framework, the
United States and Taiwan have jointly conducted training
programs for experts to combat MERS, Dengue Fever, and Zika.
These diseases know no borders, and Taiwan's needless exclusion
from global health cooperation increases the dangers presented
by global pandemics.
(4) Taiwan's international engagement has faced increased
resistance from the PRC. Taiwan was not invited to the 2016
Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), despite participating as a guest at the organization's
prior summit in 2013. Taiwan's request to participate in the
2016 General Assembly of the International Criminal Police
Organization (INTERPOL) was also rejected. In May 2017, PRC
delegates disrupted a meeting of the Kimberley Process on
conflict diamonds held in Perth, Australia, until delegates
from Taiwan were asked to leave. In June 2017, the Republic of
Panama granted diplomatic recognition to the PRC, terminating a
longstanding diplomatic relationship with Taiwan.
(5) Congress has established a policy of support for
Taiwan's participation in international bodies that address
shared transnational challenges, particularly in the WHO.
Congress passed H.R. 1794 in the 106th Congress, H.R. 428 in
the 107th Congress, and S. 2092 in the 108th Congress to direct
the Secretary of State to establish a strategy for, and to
report annually to Congress on, efforts to obtain observer
status for Taiwan at the WHA. Congress also passed H.R. 1151 in
the 113th Congress, directing the Secretary to report on a
strategy to gain observer status for Taiwan at the ICAO
Assembly, and H.R. 1853 in the 114th Congress, directing the
Secretary to report on a strategy to gain observer status for
Taiwan at the INTERPOL Assembly. However, in 2016 Taiwan did
not receive invitations to attend any of these events as an
observer.
(b) Augmentation of Report Concerning the Participation of Taiwan
in the World Health Organization.--
(1) In general.--Subsection (c) of section 1 of Public Law
108-235 (118 Stat. 656) is amended by adding at the end the
following new paragraph:
''(3) An account of the changes and improvements the
Secretary of State has made to the United States plan to
endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at the World
Health Assembly, following any annual meetings of the World
Health Assembly at which Taiwan did not obtain observer
status.''.
(2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1)
shall take effect and apply beginning with the first report
required under subsection

(c) of section 1 of Public Law 108-235 that is submitted after
the date of the enactment of this Act.

Passed the House of Representatives January 9, 2018.

Attest:

KAREN L. HAAS,

Clerk.
(Sec. 1) This bill requires the annual reports submitted by the Department of State to Congress concerning the U.S. plan to endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at the annual summit of the World Health Assembly (WHA) held by the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, to include an account of the changes and improvements that the State Department has made to such plan following any annual meetings of the WHA at which Taiwan did not obtain such status.

vehicle safety standards to require power windows and panels on
motor vehicles to automatically reverse direction when such power
windows and panels detect an obstruction to prevent children and
others from being trapped, injured, or killed.
(2) Deadline for decision.--If the Secretary determines such
safety standards are reasonable, practicable, and appropriate, the
Secretary shall prescribe, under section 30111 of title 49, United
States Code, the safety standards described in paragraph (1) not
later than 30 months after the date of enactment of this Act. If
the Secretary determines that no additional safety standards are

automatically reverse direction when an obstruction is
detected.
(b) Rearward Visibility.--Not later than 12 months after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall initiate a rulemaking
to revise Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 (FMVSS 111) to
expand the required field of view to enable the driver of a motor
vehicle to detect areas behind the motor vehicle to reduce death and
injury resulting from backing incidents, particularly incidents
involving small children and disabled persons. The Secretary may
prescribe different requirements for different types of motor vehicles
to expand the required field of view to enable the driver of a motor
vehicle to detect areas behind the motor vehicle to reduce death and
injury resulting from backing incidents, particularly incidents
involving small children and disabled persons. Such standard may be met
by the provision of additional mirrors, sensors, cameras, or other
technology to expand the driver's field of view. The Secretary shall
prescribe final standards pursuant to this subsection not later than 36
months after the date of enactment of this Act.
(c) Phase-In Period.--

after the date on which the final rule is issued.
(2) Phase-in priorities.--In establishing the phase-in period
of the rearward visibility safety standards required under
subsection (b), the Secretary shall consider whether to require the
phase-in according to different types of motor vehicles based on
data demonstrating the frequency by which various types of motor
vehicles have been involved in backing incidents resulting in
injury or death. If the Secretary determines that any type of motor
vehicle should be given priority, the Secretary shall issue
regulations that specify--
(A) which type or types of motor vehicles shall be phased-
in first; and
(B) the percentages by which such motor vehicles shall be
phased-in.
(d) Preventing Motor Vehicles From Rolling Away.--
(1) Requirement.--Each motor vehicle with an automatic
transmission that includes a ''park'' position manufactured for

can be shifted out of ''park''. This system shall function in any
starting system key position in which the transmission can be
shifted out of ''park''.
(2) Treatment as motor vehicle safety standard.--A violation of
paragraph (1) shall be treated as a violation of a motor vehicle
safety standard prescribed under section 30111 of title 49, United
States Code, and shall be subject to enforcement by the Secretary
under chapter 301 of such title.
(3) Publication of noncompliant vehicles.--
(A) Information submission.--Not later than 60 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, for the current model
year and annually thereafter through 2010, each motor vehicle
manufacturer shall transmit to the Secretary the make and model
of motor vehicles with automatic transmissions that include a
''park'' position that do not comply with the requirements of
paragraph (1).

such term shall not include--
(1) a motorcycle or trailer (as such terms are defined in
section 571.3 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations); or
(2) any motor vehicle that is rated at more than 10,000 pounds
gross vehicular weight.
(f) Database on Injuries and Deaths in Nontraffic, Noncrash
Events.--
