In addition to amounts otherwise authorized to be appropriated for Foreign Military Financing, there is authorized to be appropriated to the Department of State for the exclusive purpose of Taiwan Foreign Military Finance grant assistance programs $2,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 to 2032. Amounts authorized to be appropriated under subsection

(a)shall be available only if— Taiwan commits to match the appropriated spending on a dollar-for-dollar basis, as reflected in Taiwan’s annual allocation for defense spending and special budgets passed by the Legislative Yuan for additional defense spending; Taiwan focuses on the acquisition of asymmetric capabilities consistent with a strategy of denial while also modernizing sufficient conventional capabilities to respond to a variety of contingencies across all phases of conflict, including grey zone activities, and execute essential peacetime missions; and the United States and Taiwan formally agree— to conduct joint long-range planning for capability development; and on the expenditure of such amounts and on specific, pre-cleared systems and training that reduce risk to Taiwan and the United States by deterring the People’s Liberation Army. Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense shall review and update interagency written policy and implementation guidance related to the Taiwan Relations Act ( Public Law 96–8 ). The updated policy and guidance required under paragraph

(1)shall— reflect the Foreign Military Sales prioritization requirements under section 3; and update obsolete policy guidance based on arms of a defensive character to a policy based on deterring the People's Liberation Army, including the provision of arms designed to deter an invasion, whether arms of a defensive or offensive nature.
