Congressman Building GOP Support to Recognize Taiwan Independence, as Republicans Push Tougher Stance on China

‘My first Congress ... I was the sole sponsor. We had 30 sponsors last session, and now we have 50 in this session of Congress.’

Congressman Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) has seen growing Republican support for a resolution he’s sponsored to end the so-called “One-China” principle and recognize Taiwan as a separate independent country.

Mr. Tiffany introduced his resolution in January and it has received the support of dozens of Republican cosponsors. Last week, Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas) became the 50th cosponsor of the resolution.
