According to Taiwan authorities, US Senator Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, has arrived in Taiwan for a three-day visit, during which she will meet with Tsai Ing-wen and other senior government officials.
“We urge the US to abide the One-China principle and treat matters related to Taiwan with caution,” said the spokesperson. “The US must stop all forms of official interactions with Taiwan so as not to send the wrong message to ‘Taiwan independence’ forces and further sabotage China-US relations and regional peace and stability.”
