US senators defy China’s threats with unannounced visit to Taiwan

Al Jazeera  

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has heightened fears China might seek to annex its smaller neighbour by force. A delegation of United States lawmakers led by vocal China critics Bob Menendez and Lindsey Graham arrived in Taiwan on Thursday for a two-day trip as Beijing threatened “strong measures” in response. Taiwan’s foreign ministry said the US legislators would meet with President Tsai Ing-wen, Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Wu and defence officials. Menendez, who chairs the influential Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, was among a group of lawmakers who introduced a bill in February to rename Taipei’s de facto embassy in Washington the “Taiwan Representative Office”. At the time, Menendez said the US would “defend Taiwan’s place on the world stage in the face of increasing aggression from Beijing”.
