'US Congress' support for Taiwan so strong'

TAIPEI: The chairman of the United States House of Representatives committee on China said on Thursday that support in his country's legislature for Taiwan was 'extremely strong,' after a meeting with the self-ruled island's top leadership.

Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Republican from Wisconsin, heads a five-member delegation that met on Thursday with Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen and deputy leader Lai Ching-te, who won last month's leadership election and will take office in May.
