U.S. Navy Rear Admiral on Surprise Visit to Taiwan, Reuters Says
A senior U.S. military officer who oversees intelligence gathering for the Indo-Pacific Command made an unannounced visit to Taiwan, Reuters reported, a move that risks further raising tensions between Washington and Beijing. “This visit could be more symbolic than functional as other interactions between Taipei and Washington would be frequent enough to promote bilateral cooperation,” said Wu Shang-su, a Research Fellow at RSIS, who previously worked at Taiwan’s National Defense University and the island’s Legislative Yuan.
