A leading Congressional Republican is planning a tour of Asia that will likely include a stop in Taiwan.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that he intends to visit the democratic island later in the year to assist it in the struggle against communist China’s repressive overtures.
