WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) helped introduce bipartisan legislation to bolster the United States’ economic relationship with Taiwan and counter efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to isolate Taiwan from the global marketplace by supporting Taiwan’s participation in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The bipartisan bill underscores the importance of Taiwan as a key U.S. trading partner and a major supplier of advanced technology critical to American industry and everyday life.
“The United States cannot allow the Chinese Communist Party to bully democratic allies like Taiwan out of the global financial system,” said Senator Rosen. “This bipartisan bill sends a clear message: Taiwan deserves a voice in international institutions like the IMF. The more authoritarians try to silence democracy, the louder we must be in our defense of it—and that starts with ensuring Taiwan is treated with the respect and recognition it has earned.”
Senator Rosen has prioritized strengthening the U.S.–Taiwan partnership and defending Taiwan against growing threats from the Chinese Communist Party. She introduced the bipartisan Taiwan Cybersecurity Resiliency Act to enhance joint cyber defense efforts and led the introduction of the TAIWAN Security Act to bolster defense and supply chain cooperation. She has also been a consistent leader in pushing back against authoritarian influence more broadly.
