Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Bill 119 HR 2113, also known as the "Taiwan Name Act," is a proposed legislation that aims to require all US government agencies to use the term "Taiwan" instead of "Chinese Taipei" when referring to the island nation in official documents and communications. The bill seeks to recognize Taiwan as a separate and independent entity from China, and to strengthen diplomatic relations between the US and Taiwan.

The bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these purposes are not provided in the summary. If passed, this legislation would have significant implications for US foreign policy and could potentially impact relations with China, which considers Taiwan to be a part of its territory.

Overall, the Taiwan Name Act is a controversial and potentially divisive piece of legislation that highlights the complex and delicate nature of US-Taiwan-China relations. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what implications it may have for US foreign policy in the future.
