Taiwanese officials Lin Fei-fan and Hsu Szu-chien met with President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team in Washington, sparking international attention amid heightened Chinese military activity in the Taiwan Strait. The meeting, first reported by Reuters, comes as Trump prepares to return to the White House in January. The timing is strategically significant, with Taiwan seeking to establish early contact with the incoming administration. The talks coincide with China’s increased military presence around Taiwan, which Taiwanese officials view as an attempt by Beijing to set ＂red lines＂ for the new U.S. government and its allies. Neither the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States, Trump’s transition team, nor the Chinese Embassy have commented on the meeting.
