WASHINGTON—The nominee to be the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia said on Tuesday that Washington should develop its relationship with Taiwan in every sector, hours after China’s largest reported incursion to date into the island’s air defense identification zone.
Daniel Kritenbrink said it was important for Washington to demonstrate its resolve to meet its “rock-solid obligations” toward Taiwan in the face of pressure from China, which claims the self-governing island as its own territory.
