TAIPEI -- A bipartisan group of five U.S. lawmakers, led by Democratic Sen. Edward Markey, arrived in Taiwan on Sunday, the Taiwan Foreign Affairs Ministry announced on the same day.
The delegation was to meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen to discuss bilateral security issues along with economic and trade related matters.
China organized large-scale military exercises in waters around Taiwan in protest of a visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the country on Aug. 2-3. The latest visit may attract further protests from China.
