LANSING, Mich. (April\u00a021, 2026) \u2014\u00a0Today, the Michigan Senate passed\u00a0a\u00a0bipartisan\u00a0resolution, sponsored by\u00a0Sen.\u00a0Rosemary Bayer<\/b> (D-West Bloomfield), to encourage the state and nation to deepen economic ties with Taiwan, a key trade partner of the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to, once again, offer a resolution to commemorate Michigan\u2019s strong relationship with Taiwan,\u201d said Sen\u00a0<\/span>Bayer<\/b>. \u201cTaiwan has been an essential trading partner for both Michigan and the United States. From opening the Michigan Taiwan Office to actions we can take now at the state and national level, I hope we continue to strengthen our relationship with the island of Taiwan, fueling our collective economic growth for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along\u00a0with encouraging Michigan to deepen its ties with Taiwan,\u00a0<\/span>Senate Resolution\u00a0111<\/u><\/a><\/span> urges the U.S. and Taiwan to enter additional bilateral trade agreements and to address the issue of double taxation. It also calls on members of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity to allow Taiwan to participate in their organization, which currently promotes economic growth in the U.S. and 13 other partner countries.<\/p>\n

The U.S. is Taiwan\u2019s second-largest trading partner, providing a particularly significant source of agricultural products. Michigan also does significant business with the island nation, spurring the creation of the Michigan Taiwan Office in 2024 to promote further investment by Taiwanese firms in the state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
