US Senate tables ‘Taiwan Symbols of Sovereignty Act’By Hollie Younger / Staff writer, with CNAThe US Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday advanced three Taiwan-related bills, although the Taiwan Symbols of Sovereignty Act was tabled for later discussion. Photo: ReutersSenators tabled the act over fears of angering China, saying that Taiwan had never requested a change in policy. The three measures passed were the Taiwan Energy Security and Anti-Embargo Act, the Taiwan Undersea Cable Resilience Initiative Act and the Taiwan Allies Fund Act. The Taiwan Undersea Cable Resilience Initiative Act would coordinate navy cooperation with Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration, impose sanctions on those who damage undersea cables and provide intelligence warnings. A date has not yet been set to continue discussions of the Taiwan Symbols of Sovereignty Act.
