Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
The PROTECT Taiwan Act directs U.S. financial regulators (Treasury Secretary, Federal Reserve Board, SEC) to seek exclusion of People’s Republic of China representatives from specified international financial-regulatory organizations if the President notifies Congress of PRC threats to Taiwan under the Taiwan Relations Act.
Covered organizations include the G20, Bank for International Settlements, Financial Stability Board, Basel Committee, IAIS, and IOSCO.
The President may waive the policy for national interest with a report to congressional committees.
Time-limited, narrowly targeted security measure with waiver improves prospects, but diplomatic consequences and executive/regulatory pushback reduce overall odds.
How solid the drafting looks.

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on September 16, 2025
Progressives worry about multilateral regulatory harm; conservatives emphasize deterrence.
Likely cautious support for strong measures protecting Taiwan, but concern about undermining multilateral regulatory cooperation and financial stability.
Will weigh national-security signaling against risks to global rule-making and cross-border coordination.
Wants robust oversight and narrow implementation to protect technical regulatory cooperation.
Pragmatic but cautious: recognizes national-security rationale while worrying about practical costs, diplomatic fallout, and implementation complexity.
Views waiver and sunset clauses as useful but wants clear triggers, allied coordination, and impact monitoring.
Likely to support if narrowly applied and evaluated.
Generally supportive as a firm, nonmilitary tool to counter PRC pressure on Taiwan.
Sees exclusion as appropriate leverage to defend U.S. and allied interests, and to reduce PRC access to influential financial forums.
Prefers robust implementation and limited presidential waivers.
