Congress supports Taiwan staying a member of the Asian Development Bank. Before 1979, Taiwan was called the Republic of China. If Taiwan were expelled, the U.S. would seriously reconsider its Bank participation.

It is the sense of Congress that U.S. policy supports letting Taiwan — known as the Republic of China before January 1, 1979 — keep its membership in the Asian Development Bank. The U.S. Executive Director of the Bank must tell the Bank that if Taiwan were expelled, the United States would seriously reconsider its future participation in the Bank, including any future payments to the Asian Development Fund.
