Promote Secure Connectivity to Taiwan Act
HR 7578, the Promote Secure Connectivity to Taiwan Act, requires the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to submit a report within one year of enactment assessing technologies to improve security and resilience of Taiwan's communications networks. The report must cover available security technologies, submarine cable lifespans, security of US-Taiwan communications links, and potential engagement with "trusted" entities (defined as those not deemed security risks under existing law). The bill mandates no mandatory data collection from entities and specifies the report must be unclassified, though it may include a classified annex. This is a procedural assessment bill with no direct policy changes or funding.
