Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Young Kim (CA-40) applauded the Senate introduction of companion legislation to her Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act by Senators Dave McCormick (R-PA), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI).
This bipartisan, bicameral bill would support Taiwan’s participation in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by ensuring the U.S. governor to the IMF advocates for:
- Taiwan’s admission to the IMF as a member;
- Taiwan’s participation in the IMF’s regular surveillance activities relating to Taiwan’s economic and financial policies;
- Employment opportunities at the IMF for Taiwan nationals; and,
- Taiwan’s ability to receive IMF technical assistance and training.
On February 4, 2025, Reps. Kim and Al Green (TX-09) introduced H.R. 910, which passed out of the House Financial Services Committee on March 5, 2025.
“Taiwan – the 21st largest economy in the world and producer of 90 percent of the world’s advanced semiconductor chip supply – doesn’t just deserve a seat at the table at the IMF. The free world needs Taiwan at the IMF,” said Congresswoman Young Kim. “We cannot be complicit as international organizations kowtow to Beijing and silence Taiwan’s voice, which is why I am grateful to Senator McCormick for introducing the Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act in the Senate. I look forward to working in lockstep to get this to President Trump’s desk as soon as possible.”
