A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives regarding United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 and the conflation of China's "One China Principle" with the United States "One China Policy". It states that Resolution 2758 only addressed which government would occupy the China seat at the United Nations in 1971 and did not address Taiwan's political status. The text highlights that the People's Republic of China has weaponized Resolution 2758 to isolate Taiwan and block its participation in international organizations. The resolution reaffirms that the United States "one China policy" does not recognize the People's Republic of China's claim to control over Taiwan. Finally, it outlines support for Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations and partnerships worldwide.
