The U.S. House of Representatives on May 5 passed a new bill requiring the U.S. State Department to review its policies concerning diplomatic interactions with Taiwan.

Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), the bill’s sponsor, cast her legislation—the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act—as a way to curb the Chinese communist regime’s aggressive stance toward Taiwan.
