Deter PRC Aggression Against Taiwan Act
This bill establishes a task force to identify Chinese military and non-military entities that could support actions against Taiwan, such as blockades or territorial seizures. The task force, led by the State Department and Treasury, will develop strategies for potential sanctions while coordinating with allies to minimize economic impacts on the United States. Importantly, the legislation does not change existing U.S. policy on Taiwan and requires explicit future laws to actually impose any penalties.
