- American Congress Visits Taiwan | A U.S. congressional delegation led by a lawmaker from Silicon Valley visited Taiwan to bolster economic and security ties with the region. During the five-day trip, they meet with the region’s Tsai Ing-wen, members of the legislature, and chip manufacturing leaders. Mike Gallagher, chairman of the House's new China committee, also made a secret visit to Taiwan and called for arming the island. Observers say the rising tensions between China and the U.S. have encouraged U.S. lawmakers to support Taipei, which Beijing sees as a "Taiwan independence" force that it strongly opposes.
