U.S. taps new chair for Taiwan-related agency -statement

A former Biden administration senior China policy official will guide the U.S. ties with Taiwan as head of the American Institute in Taiwan, the quasi-official agency said on Wednesday, a move sources said aimed to increase links with the Chinese-claimed island as it gears up for a presidential election next year.

Laura Rosenberger will take over the role of chairperson effective March 20, replacing retiring chair James Moriarity, the agency said in a statement.
