Taiwan's next vice president, Xiao Mei-qin, is visiting Washington this week, a leading American newspaper reported.
It is reported that he may meet with American officials, but he is expected to refrain from making any notable remarks to avoid unduly provoking China.
The Wall Street Journal, a leading American newspaper, reported on the 12th that ``Taiwan's Vice President-elect Hsiao Mei-qin is visiting Washington this week,'' citing sources.
Ms. Xiao was stationed in Washington as a representative of the Tsai Ing-wen administration until last November, when she became the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's candidate for vice president. I have.
The Wall Street Journal reports that her visit will be a "private visit to sort out the belongings she left behind, but she also plans to meet with American officials."
Taiwanese media also reported on the 11th that ``Mr. Hsiao is planning to visit the United States before becoming vice president in May,'' but Taiwanese authorities declined to confirm this, and a spokesperson for the Democratic Progressive Party said ``It is a private schedule.'' I'll just say that.
The Chinese government, which claims that ``Taiwan is part of China,'' is certain to express dissatisfaction with the United States accepting a visit from Mr. Xiao, who will soon become vice president. It seems that he will refrain from any noticeable behavior.
