California lawmaker leads delegation to Taiwan amid high U.S.-China tensions

LA Times  

Despite heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing over the recent downing of a Chinese balloon, a U.S. congressional delegation led by California Rep. Ro Khanna plans to visit Taiwan this weekend — a move sure to be seen by China as a provocation. “I look forward to learning more about Taiwan’s semiconductor industry and the economic ties between Taiwan and my district of Silicon Valley,” Khanna said in a prepared statement before the trip. “China should not use any visit as a pretext to intensify its actions around Taiwan,” a senior State Department official said Friday. The U.S. has traditionally maintained a “One China” policy — a deliberately ambiguous recognition of the People’s Republic of China, with whom it has diplomatic relations — without abandoning Taiwan’s claim to independence.
