US sends delegation of former officials to Taiwan's inauguration to manage tensions with China.
The US will send a delegation of former government officials to Taiwan for the inauguration of President-elect Lai Ching-te, aiming to manage tensions between the self-governing island and China. The delegation, which includes former White House economic adviser Brian Deese and one-time State Department official Richard Armitage, is set to attend the May 20 inauguration, according to a senior administration official. This move is expected to upset China, but it is unlikely to draw excessive responses from Beijing as the two countries work towards stabilizing their relations.
