Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should resume normal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, negotiate a bilateral free trade agreement with Taiwan, and support Taiwans membership in international organizations.

HCONRES 8 is a non-binding congressional resolution urging the U.S. President to end the current "One China Policy" and recognize Taiwan as an independent country. It specifically calls for resuming normal diplomatic relations (including appointing ambassadors), negotiating a bilateral free trade agreement with Taiwan, and advocating for Taiwan's full membership in international organizations like the UN and WHO. The resolution argues that Taiwan has maintained democratic governance and independence for over 70 years, separate from the People's Republic of China. This resolution does not change U.S. law but expresses Congress's position on foreign policy toward Taiwan.
