A bill to permit visiting dignitaries and service members from Taiwan to display the flag of the Republic of China.
This bill requires the Secretaries of State and Defense to permit official representatives and military members from Taiwan (including the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office) to display the Republic of China flag and military insignia during specific official engagements. It applies directly to visiting Taiwanese government officials, service members, and TECRO personnel during their U.S. diplomatic or military-related activities. The key provision mandates that such displays be allowed for wearing official uniforms, hosting government ceremonies, and appearing in official State and Defense social media promotions about U.S.-Taiwan engagements.
