House Passes 'Protect Taiwan Act'

Описание: As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to escalate its military threats against Taiwan, the House of Representatives on Feb. 9 raised the economic stakes for Beijing.

In a bipartisan vote, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the PROTECT Taiwan Act, which would require the United States to push for China’s exclusion from major international financial institutions if Beijing takes actions that threaten Taiwan’s security or existing political system. The 395–2 vote underscores growing consensus in Washington that deterrence against China must extend beyond military support to include financial and institutional consequences.

The bill now heads to the Senate. If approved in the Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump, it would formalize a strategy of economic retaliation designed to deter the CCP’s aggression against Taiwan.

Introduced by Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), the legislation directs the federal government to seek the exclusion of China from key financial bodies—including the Group of 20 (G20), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and the Financial Stability Board (FSB)—should Beijing threaten Taiwan’s security or its democratic system of governance.
