A bipartisan group of U.S. Congress members, including Rep. Mike Gallagher and Raja Krishnamoorthi, met with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen on February 22, demonstrating unwavering support for the U.S.-Taiwan partnership. The visit is likely to provoke China, which considers such interactions a challenge to its sovereignty over Taiwan. Despite the U.S. not formally recognizing Taiwan as a country, informal relations persist, with commitments to provide necessary defense weaponry. The delegation, comprising vocal China critics, discusses U.S.-Taiwan relations, regional security, and trade, signaling Congress’s increasing readiness to confront China amid strained economic ties.
