S 3018 would direct the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense to allow Taiwanese officials, military members, and TECRO representatives to publicly display symbols of Taiwan's sovereignty, including the Republic of China flag, during official activities in the US. This covers uniforms with Taiwanese insignia, government ceremonies, and official State or Defense Department social media posts about US-Taiwan relations.
Affects the State Department, Defense Department, Taiwanese government and military officials, and TECRO representatives working with the US.
The change would mark a shift from past US practice of restricting Taiwan flag displays under the "One China" policy, with possible friction in US-China relations since China objects to actions boosting Taiwan's international standing.
