America Supports Taiwan Act
HR 2113, the America Supports Taiwan Act, requires all U.S. federal agencies to replace the term "Chinese Taipei" with "Taiwan" in official communications and agency websites, effective within 14 days of enactment. This change applies broadly to all agency materials, except when explaining historical context of China's pressure on Taiwan or when coordinating with international organizations that use a different name for Taiwan. The bill aims to avoid the connotation that Taiwan is part of China, as the "Chinese Taipei" term may imply PRC sovereignty. It does not alter U.S. military or economic support for Taiwan but focuses solely on official U.S. government terminology. The legislation is driven by findings of increased Chinese military activity near Taiwan and a preference for terminology that aligns with U.S. policy supporting Taiwan's self-defense capability.
