It was a tremendous honor to visit our troops in Japan and South Korea over Thanksgiving. Also got the chance to visit Taiwan to show our support for our partners in the region. pic.twitter.com/CtdBAmEZ62

美國眾議院退伍軍人事務委員會主席高野（Mark Takano），率領議員訪問團周四（25日）晚間抵台，為這個月第二個乘搭專機訪台的美國議員訪問團。高野一行周五（26日）拜會台灣總統蔡英文時表示，未來美國官員來訪台灣會變成常態。

 

台灣傳媒報道指訪問團關注台灣後備軍人動員能力，蔡英文致辭時回應表示，明年一月主管後備軍人的退輔會將派員常駐華府。蔡英文會見美國議員訪問團成員時表示，台美在許多領域都持續深化夥伴關係。就在上周四（18日），台灣首批F-16V作戰隊成軍。F-16V的升級和接裝，都是台美國防工業合作的成果。

 

美國在台協會（AIT）晚間表示，此行程為國會議員出訪印太地區的一環，訪問團將與台灣資深領袖會麵，討論美台關係、區域安全，以及其他與雙方利益相關的重要議題。

 

訪團成員、眾議員史羅金（Elissa Slotkin）稍早推文表示，訪台消息傳出後，其辦公室收到來自中國大使館的訊息，要求她取消旅行。但就像訪問其它地點一樣，議員團到此是為了解區域，並重申美國對台承諾。

 

史羅金在推特寫道，在與駐韓美軍過完感恩節後，她剛抵達台灣，將與這裏的領袖討論一係列經濟與國家安全議題；她並提及台灣有晶片大廠，供應鏈問題肯定會是討論議題之一。

 

9 days. 3 countries. 17,452 miles.

After celebrating Thanksgiving with U.S. troops in Korea, I just touched down in Taiwan. After stops in Japan and Korea, it’ll be good to connect with leaders here to discuss a whole host of economic and national security issues. (1/3)

— Rep. Elissa Slotkin (@RepSlotkin) November 25, 2021

But just as with other stops, we’re here to learn about the region and reaffirm the U.S. commitment to our hosts, the Taiwanese. I’m looking forward to an informative trip. (3/3)

President Joe Biden says Taiwan's independence is up to Taiwan after discussing the matter with China's President Xi Jinping *****V5XudTclfq

Biden is continuing a Trump-era shift to turn Taiwan into a pricklier target for China.

The US is using more troops to help stiffen Taiwan’s defense against a Chinese amphibious assault and resist a counterinsurgency if the PLA makes it onshore. *****4mTAEHxZbV

• 台灣共和國這個名字用的好，中華民國已經不存在了。這等於給台灣島上還在鼓吹中華民國的一記響亮的耳光。 -飛天鷹- ♂ (0 bytes) () 11/25/2021 postreply 10:27:50
