Memorials, Recognition - Taiwan -

HJR 939 is a symbolic joint resolution commending Taiwan for its strengthening economic and diplomatic ties with the United States and Tennessee. It highlights Taiwan's role as Tennessee's sixth-largest export market ($158.8 billion in U.S. trade in 2024) and references Governor Bill Lee's 2025 trade delegation to Taiwan, including plans for a Tennessee presence in Taiwan and negotiations on education and trade memoranda. The resolution expresses support for Taiwan's "Integrated Diplomacy" strategy and shared democratic values but contains no binding policy changes or funding. As a non-binding resolution, it does not alter laws or obligations.
