CHINA-US: TAIWAN'S VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT TO VISIT WASHINGTON ON FEBRUARY 5-6, 2020
|
Taiwan Vice President-elect Lai Ching-te is scheduled to attend the National Prayer Meeting Breakfast in Washington DC on February 5-6, 2020. It will be the first time in decades for such a high level visit to the U.S. by a Taiwan official. He will be accompanied by, Bikhim Hsiao, a close confidant of Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.
( Comment: Lai Ching-te is a vocal advocate for Taiwan independence and, according to observers, is "a pretty radioactive figure for Beijing as he is seen as a (stalking) horse for independence within Tsai's circle".)
