Taiwan's vice president-elect, Bi-khim Hsiao, is currently in Washington for a low-profile visit, as reported by The Wall Street Journal and confirmed by various sources. This visit is notable due to its timing, amidst sensitive moments in the Biden administration's relations with China. Hsiao, who also served as Taiwan's former envoy to the U.S., plans to extend her travels to several European capitals in a similar private capacity following her visit to Washington. This trip, happening ahead of her May inauguration, has been met with opposition from China, which said it "firmly opposes" the visit, according to statements from a senior Taiwanese official and a U.S. spokesperson.
