Part 6/7:
In a noteworthy diplomatic development, Taiwanese Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung is leading a delegation to Texas, marking a significant visit that underscores deepening relations between Taiwan and the US. This trip is particularly historic as it represents only the second official visit from a Taiwanese foreign minister since the US ended formal recognition of Taiwan in 1979. With US-China relations reaching historic lows, discussions during this visit are expected to converge on various contentious issues, including trade, security, and economic cooperation.
While the visit symbolizes a step forward in US-Taiwan relations, it also likely incites stern reactions from the CCP, which has long viewed Taiwan as a breakaway province.
