Taiwan President to Travel Through US Despite China’s Protests

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen will travel through Houston and San Francisco during her January visit to allies in Latin America, her office said Friday, a move bound to anger China, which a day earlier urged the U.S. to block any stopover.


Tsai’s office declined to comment on whether she would be meeting members of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s team, but the U.S. mission in Taiwan, the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), said the visit would be “private and unofficial.”

Trump angered China when he spoke to Tsai this month in a break with decades of precedent and cast doubt on his incoming administration’s commitment to Beijing’s “one China” policy.
