A White House campaign to tighten ties with Taiwan is set to culminate in an 11th-hour visit to the island by a senior U.S. diplomat this week, forcing Beijing into a tricky balancing act as it seeks improved ties with the incoming Biden administration.
China has promised countermeasures against the three-day trip to Taiwan by Kelly Craft, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations, though it wasnât clear what steps Beijing might take.
Ms. Craft, who is due to arrive Wednesday in Taipei, will be the third senior Trump administration official to visit self-ruled Taiwan in the past year. Her trip begins days after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo needled China by nullifying government restrictions on how U.S. executive-branch officials can interact with Taiwan.
