I will support legislation to dedicate a portion of the Countering PRC Influence Fund to Taiwan and to counter Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere.

Senator Van Hollen and I have a bill that would actually carve off a portion of that specifically for Taiwan and countering the PRC influence there.

Curtis says he and Senator Van Hollen have introduced legislation to reserve part of the Countering PRC Influence Fund for Taiwan and counter PRC influence in the region.

Curtis Calls for Countering PRC Influence, Strengthening Support for Taiwan - Senator John Curtis

U.S. Senator John Curtis (R-UT) ... today joined Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Andy Kim (D-NJ) in introducing the Taiwan Allies Fund Act —bipartisan, bicameral legislation to support Taiwan’s international standing and counter the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) efforts to diplomatically isolate Taiwan on the global stage. The bill authorizes $40 million annually to assist countries that maintain or strengthen relations with Taiwan, have faced coercion or pressure from the PRC due to those relations, and lack sufficient capacity to resist that pressure without additional support.

Curtis reintroduced the Taiwan Allies Fund Act to fund support for countries maintaining or strengthening relations with Taiwan while facing PRC coercion.

This is why I will join a bipartisan group of House and Senate colleagues next week to introduce the Taiwan Allies Fund Act, which I view as a natural follow-up to the TAIPEI Act. This bill sets aside a portion of the already-appropriated Countering PRC Malign Influence Fund to focus on helping countries that stand strong in the face of PRC pressure and maintain or strengthen ties with Taiwan.

Curtis committed to joining colleagues the following week to introduce the Taiwan Allies Fund Act, dedicating part of the Countering PRC Malign Influence Fund to support countries maintaining or strengthening ties with Taiwan against PRC pressure.

Curtis joined a bipartisan Senate resolution calling for stronger deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, support for allies and partners, preservation of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and countering China’s influence in multilateral organizations.

Concrete legislative action in the same policy lane as the promise, but it does not show support for dedicating a portion of the Countering PRC Influence Fund to Taiwan or for a Western Hemisphere earmark.

Curtis and Shaheen said Taiwan’s supplementary defense budget would strengthen deterrence against PRC aggression, following their visit to Taipei and urging support for the package.

This shows continued, concrete pro-Taiwan engagement in the same term, but it is still not the promised legislation reallocating the Countering PRC Influence Fund.

The bill permits funds for countries facing PRC pressure over Taiwan ties, including support for civil society and media capacity to counter PRC influence and propaganda.

The bill's allowed uses match the promise's counter-PRC influence purpose, though it is framed globally rather than only for the Western Hemisphere.
