U.S. Representative Scott Perry has proposed a bill in Congress that would include Taiwan in the “NATO Plus” group of US allies. Currently, the “NATO Plus” group includes Japan, Australia, South Korea, Israel, and New Zealand.

The bill, called the “Taiwan PLUS Act”, states that defense cooperation with Taiwan is crucial to the national security of the U.S. It urges Taiwan’s inclusion in the “NATO Plus” group so that Taiwan can receive the same treatment as NATO members in terms of arms sales.

Taiwan’s foreign ministry said Tuesday that it will monitor the bill’s progress and stay in contact with the US government on the matter of Taiwan’s inclusion in the “NATO Plus” group.

Personal note: They had better do it damn soon. This action would bring support from all armies of the NATO PAC into play against China's aggression. This is a good idea but sitting on their asses talking about it isn't going to get it done. If they don't - well it will be one hell of war regardless - but it would be to our advantage to form a PAC to deter China's aggression! - Only time will tell - they won't wait much longer and are all geared up to take Taiwan - this wouldn't be good!
