TAIWAN

The Biden administration has included Taiwan among the 110 invitees to its upcoming “summit for democracy”, a move intended to show US solidarity with a key regional partner but at the risk of angering China. Out of the 10 countries in Southeast Asia, only the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia were invited, according to a list on the State Department website. The online gathering is an event President Joe Biden vowed to host while campaigning for office last year, with the goal of rallying like-minded countries around efforts to fight corruption and authoritarianism and advance human rights.
