US House Targets Chinese Elites’ Assets to Deter Taiwan Invasion

The US House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill aimed at deterring China from taking military action against Taiwan. The legislation, known as the Taiwan Conflict Deterrence Act, threatens to expose and target the assets of Chinese Communist Party elites if China invades Taiwan. Lawmakers hope that the threat of revealing and potentially sanctioning these assets will serve as a strong deterrent against aggression. The bill underscores growing US concern over rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait and signals a willingness to impose real consequences on China's leadership. This move is part of broader efforts to support Taiwan and counter Chinese influence in the region.
