What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Taiwan Representative Office Act," directs the Secretary of State to negotiate a name change for the current office in Washington, D.C. The goal is to rename the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office" to the "Taiwan Representative Office." This action is intended to provide the people of Taiwan with diplomatic treatment that is equivalent to that of other foreign countries or nations. The policy is meant to remain consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances. Finally, the bill clarifies that this change does not restore formal diplomatic relations or change the international status of Taiwan.
