China vows ‘vigorous’ response to US visit by Taiwan vice president
Foreign ministry in Beijing condemns William Lai as ‘troublemaker’ and says it is ‘closely following developments’

Lai, a frontrunner to be Taiwan’s next president at elections in January, arrived in New York late on Saturday for what is officially a transit on his way to Paraguay for the inauguration of its president.
