מספר הצעות חוק לתמיכה בטייוואן אושרו פה אחד בבית הנבחרים האמריקני

The House passes a couple of bills to support Taiwan, which is facing increasing aggression from the Chinese Communist Party. NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has the latest. China has its sights set on the full-scale invasion of Taiwan. The House passed a new bill on Monday, which aims to curb the Chinese Communist Party's aggression against Taiwan. The bill, dubbed the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act, was sponsored by Missouri Congresswoman Ann Wagner. It would require the State Department to remove quote self-imposed limitations on U.S.-Taiwan engagement. The bill passed unanimously by a voice vote. Just last month, the PRC conducted large-scale drills in the waters and airspace around Taiwan in a dangerous and destabilizing show of force. By removing self-imposing limitations on how we engage with Taiwan, we send a clear message to Beijing. The United States stands with free nations. There's another bill that passed the House simultaneously called the Taiwan International Solidarity Act. Now, this one aims to curb Beijing's attempts to exclude Taiwan from participating in international organizations. China has been working to have other countries either recognize the CCP or Taiwan as a means of relationship. Several countries have thus not recognized Taiwan as a self-governing democracy in order to do business with China. Now, China's military has been increasingly aggressive to Taiwan and other countries in the region, whether it's conducting military exercises near Taiwan, ramming Philippine Coast Guard vessels, or allegedly cutting Taiwan's undersea power cables. U.S. officials say a Chinese invasion of Taiwan has never been closer. In 2024, the People's Liberation Army demonstrated growing capabilities through persistent pressure operations with military pressure against Taiwan increasing by 300 percent. China's increasingly aggressive actions near Taiwan are not just exercises, they are rehearsals. For decades, U.S.-Taiwan relations have been strategically vague. Our nation employed a strategy of opacity, restricting our formal engagement with Taiwan to avoid upsetting or insulting the Chinese Communist Party. The U.S. doesn't officially recognize Taiwan as separate from China, even though the island's been a self-governing democracy for seven decades. But judging by actions rather than words, the U.S. has an unofficial relationship with Taiwan and has been providing military support to them for years. On top of that, after President Trump took office in his second term, the State Department removed a line from its website that said that the U.S. does not support Taiwan's independence.
