A delegation of American lawmakers flew into Taiwan, just 12 days after the controversial visit of Speaker Nancy Pelosi
The world is waiting for China’s response to the latest U.S. visit to Taiwan.
China responded to that visit with days of intense military drills around the self-governing island that Beijing wants under its control.
The five member delegation from across the two major parties will discuss issues related to the tensions in the Taiwan Strait and investments in semiconductors.
Chinese warplanes have continued to cross the midpoint of the Taiwan strait on a daily basis even after the military exercises concluded last week.
The de facto US embassy in Taipei says the delegation is being led by Senator Ed Markey, who is accompanied by four other lawmakers on what it described as part of a larger visit to the Asia-Pacific region.
“The delegation will meet with senior Taiwan leaders to discuss US-Taiwan relations, regional security, trade and investment, global supply chains, climate change, and other significant issues of mutual interest,” said the American Institute in Taiwan.
Taiwan’s presidential office said the group would meet Tsai on Monday morning.
“Especially at a time when China is raising tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the region with military exercises, Markey leading a delegation to visit Taiwan once again demonstrates the United States Congress’ firm support for Taiwan,” it said in a statement.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.
Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.
On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.
Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.
Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
