The US House of Representatives has passed the Taiwan Conflict Deterrence Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at discouraging China from launching a military attack on Taiwan.
The legislation threatens to expose and potentially sanction the assets of Chinese Communist Party elites if China invades Taiwan. Lawmakers believe that targeting the personal wealth and corruption of top Chinese officials will serve as a strong deterrent against aggression. The move signals growing US resolve to defend Taiwan and increase pressure on Beijing.
The bill now awaits further legislative steps before becoming law.
