U.S. Senators Cory Gardner of Colorado and Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts on Friday introduced the “Taiwan International Participation Act of 2018,” a bill that the senators say would “instruct U.S. representatives in international organizations to use the voice and vote of the U.S. to support Taiwan’s inclusion.”
As of the time of publication, text of the bill has not yet been released.
“The United States has an obligation to do everything it can to strengthen Taiwan’s international standing,” said Gardner in a press release, “This bipartisan legislation will help ensure that major international organizations do not turn a blind eye to our ally Taiwan simply because of China’s bullying tactics.”
Taiwan was recently excluded from the World Health Assembly, a United Nations convention of public health policy officials. [FULL STORY]
