H.R. 1531 (119th): Pressure Regulatory Organizations To End Chinese Threats to Taiwan Act or the PROTECT Taiwan Act

Pressure Regulatory Organizations To End Chinese Threats to Taiwan Act or the PROTECT Taiwan Act This bill requires certain federal entities to seek to exclude China from six international financial organizations if the President informs Congress that China's actions threaten Taiwan and pose a danger to U.S. interests. Specifically, the bill establishes that it is U.S. policy to seek to exclude Chinese representatives from participating in the activities of six international organizations if the President informs Congress that China's actions pose any (1) threat to Taiwan's security, economic system, or social system; and (2) danger to U.S. interests. The six specified organizations are the Group of Twenty, the Bank for International Settlements, the Financial Stability Board, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, and the International Organization of Securities Commissions. In the event that the President so informs Congress, the bill requires the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the Securities and Exchange Commission to take all necessary steps to advance the exclusion policy. The President may waive the application of this policy to an organization if doing so is in the national interest of the United States.

Summary

Recorded summary

The bill sets U.S. policy to seek to exclude Chinese representatives from six international financial bodies (G20, Bank for International Settlements, Financial Stability Board, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, International Association of Insurance Supervisors, and International Organization of Securities Commissions) if the President informs Congress that China's actions threaten Taiwan's security, economic, or social system and pose a danger to U.S. interests. If that notice is given, Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the SEC must take necessary steps to advance the policy. The President may waive it for an organization when in the national interest.

Theological note: The measure concerns the defense of a vulnerable nation against coercion and the just use of national influence, which bears on neighbor-love and the restraint of aggression. Its relevance is prudential: whether financial-diplomatic exclusion is a wise and proportionate means of protecting Taiwan is a matter for statecraft rather than a clear moral verdict.
