Pentagon point man on China travels to Taiwan for talks amid balloon scandal
A top Pentagon official on China policy has made a surprise visit to Taiwan for talks amid rising tensions between Washington and Beijing related to the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon shot down earlier this month by U.S. military jets, according to a published report.
The Financial Times reported that Mr. Chase landed in Taiwan late Friday, though that has not been confirmed by Washington. President Biden on Thursday mentioned he still hoped to have direct talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on lowering tensions in the bilateral relationship, but the Chase visit, if confirmed, could complicate that effort as well.
