If a serious China-Taiwan threat is formally declared, U.S. banks could have to stop major dealings with named senior Chinese officials. Treasury would also report on money those officials and some family members control in financial firms.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Taiwan Conflict Deterrence Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Latest action on H.R. 1716: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects senior Chinese Communist Party officials named in Treasury reports and close family members who benefit from their money. It also affects U.S. banks and other U.S. financial firms, which would need to screen for these people and avoid major transactions with them. Some foreign financial firms could also be named if they hold major accounts or provide major services tied to covered officials.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could put direct financial pressure on top Chinese officials during a serious Taiwan-related threat. It aims to make those officials and some family members risk losing access to U.S. financial services. It could also give the public more information about money those officials hold. The tradeoff is that banks would face new screening duties, and the effect on China’s choices is uncertain.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
