May 26, 2024, 12:07 PM

A bipartisan delegation of U.S. lawmakers, led by Michael McCaul, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has arrived in Taiwan. The visit, which will last from May 26 to May 30, comes amid warnings from China for the U.S. to stay out of its affairs. The American Institute in Taiwan, the de facto U.S. embassy, confirmed the visit, which follows closely after China's largest military exercise around the island in a year. The delegation's arrival underscores ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China over Taiwan. The visit is scheduled from Sunday to Thursday.
