CHINA-US: FOUR U.S. SENATORS AND TWO MEMBERS OF U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ARRIVED IN TAIWAN ON A 'SURPRISE VISIT'
|
Taiwanese media reported that four senators and two members of the House of Representatives
including Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama made
a 'surprise' visit to Taiwan when they landed at Taiwan's Taipei Songshan Airport aboard a US
Navy C-40A plane from Manila at around 6pm on November 9. The group included senators
Mike Crapo of Idaho and Mike Lee of Utah, as well as Representative Jake Ellzey of Texas,
also all Republicans. Beijing said the visit amounts to ‘rude interference in China’s internal
affairs’ and an act of provocation and later conducted a combat readiness patrol in the region
