The Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act of 2019 (TAIPEI Act; Pub. L. 116–135 (text) (PDF), 134 Stat. 278, enacted March 26, 2020; S. 1678) is an Act of the United States Congress. It aims to increase the scope of US relations with Taiwan and encourage other nations and international organizations to strengthen their official and unofficial ties with the island nation.[1]
The law is considered a further upgrade to Taiwan–United States relations[2] after passing the Taiwan Travel Act in 2018 and was passed at a time in which the People's Republic of China was engaged in a campaign to restrict the diplomatic space of Taiwan.
