updates: The AmCham Taiwan delegation returned to Washington, D.C. following a five-year pandemic-induced hiatus. The group was met with broad, bipartisan support and enthusiasm for Taiwan and the bilateral relationship. The delegation brought three main requests to the U.S. government: enact necessary legislation for U.S.-Taiwan double taxation avoidance, complete negotiations on the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade, and continue to support Taiwan's security and preparedness. U.S. officials and Congressional offices expressed undivided support for Taiwan. The delegation engaged with key U.S. executive branch agencies, including the State Department, National Security Council, Commerce Department, Defense Department, Treasury Department, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Taiwan's critical position in the global semiconductor industry was a major focus of discussions. The United States views Taiwan's advanced manufacturing capabilities as essential for maintaining technological superiority and economic security. The challenges of strengthening the supply chain include logistical complexities, regulatory hurdles, and the need for continuous adaptation to the evolving global market. The digital economy and Taiwan's potential as a financial hub were also discussed. The U.S.-Taiwan Business Council and AmCham signed a joint letter in support of a pending double taxation avoidance bill. The bill is currently bundled with more contentious legislative issues and is stuck in the Senate. The U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade has presented challenges in regulatory alignment, standards, dispute resolution mechanisms, agricultural trade, and digital commerce. A first agreement covering the first five chapters of the 21CI was signed last year but has not yet gone into effect. U.S. defense and security assistance to Taiwan was a key topic during the Doorknock. Discussions highlighted the importance of readiness to deal with security challenges. The backlog of U.S. military equipment deliveries to Taiwan has been reduced. Taiwan is authorized to receive Foreign Military Financing from the United States for the first time. The complexity and long timelines associated with the traditional Foreign Military Sales process were noted as significant challenges. The AmCham delegation presented the many reasons why Taiwan is important to the United States. The U.S.-Taiwan relationship is closer than ever, but there's still untapped potential for collaboration in areas like the environment, technological development, healthcare, and digitalization.
