What this bill does

The bill directs federal agencies to work toward excluding China from six international financial organizations if the President determines China threatens Taiwan.
U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Securities and Exchange Commission officials are required to pursue this exclusion policy.
The President can waive the requirement if exclusion is deemed against U.S. national interests.
