The US House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill aimed at deterring China from launching a military attack on Taiwan.
The legislation, known as the Taiwan Conflict Deterrence Act, threatens to expose and target the assets of Chinese Communist Party elites if China invades Taiwan. Lawmakers believe that revealing the financial interests of top Chinese officials will create real, personal consequences for any aggressive actions. The move underscores growing US concern over China's intentions toward Taiwan and signals a willingness to use economic and reputational pressure as a deterrent.
The bill is part of broader efforts to support Taiwan and counter Chinese influence.
