WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Slotkin (D-MI) joins Senators Dave McCormick (R-PA), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Dan Sullivan (R-AK) in introducing the Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act, which would support Taiwan’s participation in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This effort is necessary to challenge to the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing campaign to bully Taiwan.
“Taiwan plays a significant and important role in the global economy — notably on computer chips — and needs to protect itself from Chinese economic coercion,” said Senator Slotkin. “They should return to the International Monetary Fund. The bipartisan Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act of 2025 works toward that goal and reinforces our commitment to Taiwan and strengthening our partnership.”
This legislation directs the U.S. Governor of the IMF to actively advocate for Taiwan’s full participation in the IMF, including its admission as a member, should Taiwan seek it. In doing so, the United States reaffirms its commitment to democratic values. The bill also urges the IMF to include Taiwan in its regular economic and financial policy surveillance, ensure equitable employment opportunities for Taiwanese citizens, and provide Taiwan access to technical assistance and training—privileges routinely extended to other sovereign, responsible stakeholders in the global economy.
This is the Senate companion to H.R. 910, which was introduced by Reps. Young Kim (R-CA) and Al Green (D-TX) and passed the House Financial Services Committee on March 5.
