Dem senator leads bipartisan effort to strengthen Taiwan supply chain amid China threat
Fox News
Sen. Jacky Rosen led a bipartisan group of senators to introduce a bill that would evaluate Taiwan's resilience and strengthen the island's supply chain security.
"As China ramps up its military buildup and aggression towards Taiwan, we must not only ensure our strength, but also bolster the strength of our democratic ally, Taiwan," Rosen told Fox News Digital in a statement. "I’m proud to lead a bipartisan, bicameral bill to deepen the United States’ defense ties with Taiwan, enhance supply chain resilience, and help increase Taiwan’s military readiness."

The goal of the measure is to strengthen ties between the U.S. and Taiwan while also preemptively addressing any supply chain and readiness challenges it may face. Specifically, Rosen and Sullivan's bill would require Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to "appropriately consider" enhanced defense industrial base cooperation between the U.S. and Taiwan.
