TITLE Act
HR 5630, the TITLE Act, requires all U.S. government agencies to stop using the term "Chinese Taipei" and instead use "Taiwan" in official communications and websites, with limited exceptions for historical context or formal document titles. The bill mandates that agencies update their websites within 14 days of enactment to reflect this terminology change. It directly affects federal agencies' public communications, aiming to affirm Taiwan's distinct status separate from China. The bill's purpose is to align U.S. nomenclature with Congress's view that Taiwan's sovereignty should be resolved peacefully, respecting the wishes of Taiwan's people.
