Now this is true Taiwain President coming to the US Taiwanese Vice President William Lai took off for a sensitive journey to the US on Saturday, in a move that has raised fears it could spur more Chinese military drills near the democratically-governed island. Lai is expected to stop in New York before continuing the trip to Paraguay and will also visit San Francisco on the way back home. Paraguay is one of only a handful of countries that still maintain formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. "Departing soon for #Asuncion to attend [president-elect Santiago Pena's] inauguration and convey to him and the people of #Paraguay the best wishes of [Taiwan]," Lai posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "[E]xcited to meet with #US friends in transit." Lai, a member of the center-left Democratic Progressive Party, is a frontrunner ahead of Taiwan's presidential vote next year. www.dw.com/en/taiwan-vice-president-takes-off-for-us-amid-china-tensions/a-66515147
