TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The unexpected return of Taiwan's Representative to the U.S. gives rise to speculations among Taiwanese.
Some say Representative Hsiao Bi-khim is back in Taiwan because of the eventual visit of U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Some suggest that it is because of her potential partnership with Lai Ching-te in the 2024 election.
Political commentator Chen Feng-hsin said on a show that Hsiao is "only expected to return if something important happens."
"Considering the time frame, I think Hsiao is back in Taiwan most likely because of McCarthy's visit," Chen said.
