Summary
Directs the United States to withhold all contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO) until (1) China's WHO membership is terminated, and (2) Taiwan is granted full membership. (China considers Taiwan a part of China, and, as a result, the WHO does not consider Taiwan a member state.) The President shall direct the U.S. representative to the WHO to encourage other member states to take similar action.
Title
To prohibit all United States assessed and voluntary contributions to the World Health Organization until such time as the membership in the World Health Organization of the People's Republic of China is terminated and the Republic of China (Taiwan) is afforded full rights, privileges, and responsibilities as a Member State in the World Health Organization, and for other purposes.
