Nikkei Asia (February 4) reported that a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers proposed matching bills in the
Senate and House of Representatives on February 3, that would require the U.S. to negotiate the renaming
of Taiwan's de facto embassy in Washington as the "Taiwan Representative Office". It is currently called the
Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), using the name of the island's capital city.
