US support for Taiwan 'firm', lawmakers tell president-elect Lai
Jan 26, 2024
Taipei [Taiwan], January 26: Two US lawmakers met Taiwanese president-elect Lai Ching-te on Thursday to reaffirm Washington's support for the self-ruled island, which China claims as part of its territory. Lai won the January 13 poll despite warnings from Beijing that he would bring "war and decline" to Taiwan, securing a third term for the Democratic Progressive Party that rejects China's claim to the island.
