The US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations approved on 14 September proposed legislation that would reinforce US military support to Taiwan.
The proposed legislation – the Taiwan Policy Act of 2022 – includes provisions to extend military funding to the island, fast-track military sales, and impose sanctions on Beijing in the event of conflict.
The committee said the proposed law is intended to “maintain stable cross-strait deterrence as China expands its campaign to undermine the status quo”.
To become a legislation, it requires approval by the full Senate and House of Representatives and be signed by US President Joe Biden.
In its text, the proposed law outlines a military financing programme for Taiwan that would be worth USD4.5 billion between 2023 and 2026.
This funding, said the law, would support procurement and training and would be in addition to a new USD2 billion loan facility for Taiwan's military acquisitions.
