United States; Taiwan; supporting trade

This Arizona Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 1039) expresses state support for strengthening U.S.-Taiwan economic ties but does not create new laws. It calls for negotiating a bilateral U.S.-Taiwan trade agreement, supports Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations like WHO and ICAO, and acknowledges Arizona's economic partnership with Taiwan (including TSMC's $65 billion investment creating 10,000 jobs). The resolution directly affects Arizona businesses and state officials by endorsing policy positions that align with existing federal efforts like the Taiwan Travel Act. It is a non-binding statement of support, not a legislative change.
