In news from and about Taiwan this morning,

A bipartisan U-S congressional delegation led by House Committee on Veterans'
Affairs chair Mark Takano has arrived in Taiwan.

The delegation arrived at Taipei Songshan Airport aboard a U-S military C-40
Clipper transport plane.

The trip marks the second U-S congressional delegation visit Taiwan this
month.

According to the American Institute in Taiwan, other members of the
delegation include representatives Nancy Mace, Colin Allred, Elissa Slot-kin,
and Sara Jacobs.

A-I-T says the their two-day visit is part of a larger visit to the
Indo-Pacific region, but is a previously unannounced leg of the delegation's
ongoing Thanksgiving holiday visit to American service members and veterans
in Japan and South Korea.

Members of the delegation are reportedly slated to hold talks with President
Tsai Ing-wen and visit the Ministry of National Defense and Veterans Affairs
Council.

Those talks are expected to focus on US-Taiwan relations, regional security,
and other issues of mutual interest.
