A group of Republican lawmakers is urging Secretary of State Antony Blinken to visit Taiwan as he travels to communist China.

The lawmakers, led by Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.), say that the stopover is necessary to demonstrate that China’s communist regime cannot dictate the terms of U.S. alliances and partnerships, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Epoch Times.
