What this bill would do
The Taiwan International Solidarity Act amends the TAIPEI Act of 2019. It clarifies that UN Resolution 2758 did not determine Taiwan's sovereignty or its representation in the UN. The bill states the U.S. opposes changing Taiwan's status without the consent of its people. It instructs the U.S. to use its influence in international organizations to resist the People's Republic of China's efforts to distort policies regarding Taiwan. Additionally, it encourages allies to oppose efforts to undermine Taiwan's international partnerships. The act also requires reporting on the People's Republic of China's attempts to undermine Taiwan's membership and ties with other countries.
