A bipartisan group of House lawmakers has introduced legislation to counter communist China’s efforts to isolate Taiwan from the international community.

The bill, officially known as the Taiwan International Solidarity Act (H.R. 2416), was led by Reps. Gerald Connolly (D-Va.) and Young Kim (R-Calif.), who are both members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
