TAIPEI, Taiwan—Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday hailed economic and educational cooperation with Taiwan, marked by a $12 billion investment in his state by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp.

Ducey spoke during a meeting with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, in the latest of a series of visits by U.S. political leaders that have stirred the ire of the Chinese regime, which claims Taiwan as its own territory despite Taiwan being a de facto independent country, with its own military, democratically-elected government, and constitution.
