WASHINGTON, DC – On July 13, Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) released the following statement on his “honest maps” amendment, which was adopted during House consideration of the annual National Defense Authorization Act.
The measure prohibits the Department of Defense from creating, procuring, or displaying any map that depicts Taiwan as part of the territory of the People’s Republic of China
“All of us know that Taiwan is not – nor has it ever been – part of Communist China. Any claims to the contrary are simply false,” said Congressman Tiffany. “This amendment will require that the maps we use reflect a simple reality: China is China, and Taiwan is Taiwan.”
