US would seek to rename Taiwan's office, treating it more like a foreign country.
This bill would direct the Secretary of State to negotiate renaming Taiwan's office in the U.S. to the 'Taiwan Representative Office.' This change would mean the U.S. would treat the people of Taiwan with diplomatic respect similar to those from other countries. However, it would not restore formal diplomatic ties or change Taiwan's international status.
Currently, Taiwan's office in the U.S. is called the 'Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office,' and the U.S. does not have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. If this bill passes, the U.S. would seek to rename that office to the 'Taiwan Representative Office' and treat the people of Taiwan with diplomatic respect similar to those from other countries, without restoring full diplomatic ties.
