A bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation, led by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, made a surprise visit to Taiwan, defying warnings from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The delegation, the first to visit Taiwan after the inauguration of the new president, included Representatives Jimmy Panetta, Young Kim, Chrissy Houlahan, Joe Wilson, and Andy Barr. The visit aims to discuss regional security, trade, and investment, exploring new areas of collaboration between the U.S. and Taiwan. Chairman McCaul emphasized that the U.S. Congress strongly supports Taiwan and hopes to prevent any escalation over Taiwan. The visit, dispatched by Speaker Mike Johnson, also marks the 45th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act, highlighting the longstanding partnership between the U.S. and Taiwan.
