HR 3171 United States House · 118th Congress

Taiwan Representative Office Act

This bill would rename the current Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Washington, D.C., to the "Taiwan Representative Office." It directs the U.S. Secretary of State to negotiate this name change with Taiwan's office, ensuring all U.S. government documents, laws, and courts update references to the new name. The bill explicitly states it does not restore diplomatic relations with Taiwan or alter the U.S. position on Taiwan's international status, as defined by the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances. The change applies only to the Washington, D.C. office and its official references.
