House lawmakers visit Taiwan as China warns US to stay out
Fox News
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is traveling to Taiwan a week after its new president was inaugurated, despite demands from China to stay out.
"Leading this historic and bipartisan CODEL to Taiwan — the first U.S. congressional delegation to meet with the newly elected Taiwan officials — sends a signal to the Chinese Communist Party that the United States stands with the people of Taiwan and will work to maintain the status quo across the Taiwan Straight," McCaul told Fox News Digital. "I look forward to meeting senior Taiwan leaders and members of civil society to continue strengthening our bilateral relationship on all fronts."
