Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

U.S. and Taiwan would team up to boost defense technology and counter threats.

A new partnership between the U.S. and Taiwan would boost defense technology and help both nations counter threats. This would create more opportunities for defense companies in both countries and strengthen Taiwan's ability to defend itself.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific, required partnership between the U.S. Department of Defense and Taiwan's defense ministry to coordinate defense industrial priorities and technology. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. Secretary of Defense would be required to set up such a partnership. This would lead to closer cooperation on defense technology and industrial planning between the two nations.

Key Provisions

Requires the U.S. Secretary of Defense to create a strategic partnership with Taiwan's defense officials.
Strengthens global security by using new defense technologies together.
Counters the Chinese Communist Party's development of certain defense technologies.
Boosts market opportunities for U.S. and Taiwan defense technology companies.
Bolsters Taiwan's ability to build its own defense equipment.
Streamlines research and development for emerging defense technologies like drones and microchips.
