What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No Tax Treaties for Foreign Aggressors Act of 2025," aims to end the income tax treaty between the United States and the People's Republic of China. The termination would be triggered if the People's Liberation Army starts an armed attack against Taiwan. Once the President notifies the Secretary of the Treasury of such an attack, the Secretary must provide written notice of the intent to terminate the treaty. This notice must be sent through diplomatic channels within 30 days. Additionally, the President is required to notify specific Senate and House committees regarding the termination.

  • Does this raise the taxes companies pay?+5

    Terminating the tax treaty would likely increase the tax burden on corporations operating between the US and China by removing treaty-based tax relief.

  • Does this strengthen ties with allied countries?+4

    The bill demonstrates a commitment to defending Taiwan, which strengthens political ties with its allies.

  • Does this make the government pay for what it commits to?+2

    The bill uses tax treaty termination as a tool of national interest, though its direct impact on the federal budget is contingent on the triggering event.

The opposite

  • Does this make trade with other countries easier?-5

    The termination of a tax treaty creates new barriers and costs for international trade between the US and China.

  • Would business owners be better off under this?-4

    Business owners engaged in US-China trade would face higher tax complexities and costs due to the treaty termination.
