(ANSA) - TAIPEI, 09 AUG - A Trump administration minister is on a mission today in Taiwan. It is the first high-level visit by a representative of the US administration since 1979, when Washington ceased to recognize the independence of the island, directing diplomatic relations towards Beijing. The delegation led by health secretary Alex Azar landed at Taipei airport. The visit, announced by the Americans in recent days, has already been condemned by Beijing, which refuses to feed the island's independent impulses, considering it an integral part of China.
