TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Presidential Office spokesperson on Thursday (Dec. 12) stated that international exchanges are routine for the national security team. According to a Reuter's report, Taiwanese officials Lin Fei-fan (林飛帆) and Hsu Szu-chien (徐斯儉) will meet with President-elect Donald Trump's transition team members in Washington this week, sparking international attention amid heightened Chinese military activity in the Taiwan Strait. 

The potential meeting, first reported by Reuters citing five sources, 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 (駐美國臺北經濟文化代表處), Trump's transition team, nor the Chinese Embassy have commented on the meeting. While the details of the discussions remain undisclosed, the international community is closely watching the high-level interaction between Taiwan and the U.S., given the current geopolitical tensions.

The lack of official responses from key parties leaves the meeting's outcome uncertain. Still, the mere occurrence of such talks underscores the complex and evolving dynamics between Taiwan, the U.S., and China.
