In a Congress where lawmakers are divided on an overwhelming set of issues, helping to alleviate double taxation for businesses operating in both the US and Taiwan is one with rare bipartisan unity. House Ways and Means Committee members voted in unison to send a bill to the House floor aimed at providing treaty-like benefits to the island democracy. Leaders of both the House and Senate tax-writing committees gave the bill their bipartisan blessing and say they're pushing for speedy passage. A way to provide tax benefits to Taipei without angering China is seen as integral to the US goal of boosting semiconductor manufacturing and research in the US. "This is about expanding and accelerating inbound investment into the United States in critical areas, particularly the semiconductor space in the context of the Chips and Science Act and what the Trump and Biden administrations have been doing since 2017 on the semiconductor front," said Rupert Hammond-Chambers, president of the US Taiwan Business Council. Hammond-Chambers talks with Bloomberg Tax's Chris Cioffi about where the two countries go from here. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, we are joined by Mr. Randall Schriver to discuss Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's recent transit of the United States and broader cross-Strait issues. Mr. Schriver explains the context behind President Tsai's latest transit through the U.S. and what made this transit both in line with prior transits and unique and successful. Mr. Schriver suggests that it is still too early to see the full Chinese response, but concerns about Taiwan's presidential election next year could cause Beijing to have a muted reaction to Tsai's transit. Regardless of China's reaction, he sees the Taiwan-United States relationship continuing to strengthen into the future. Mr. Randall Schriver is the Chairman of the Board of the Project 2049 Institute and a strategic advisor to Pacific Solutions LLC. He is also a lecturer for Stanford University's “Stanford-in-Washington” program, is on the Board of Advisors to the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA, and Board of Directors of the US-Taiwan Business Council.

His civilian government roles have included Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Affairs and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs.
