KMT Chair Returns From Her US Tour

Cheng Li-wun's recent two-week trip to the U.S. highlighted her political aspirations, even though she didn't secure high-profile meetings with the White House. The trip showcased her efforts to strengthen ties with U.S. lawmakers and influential think tanks, signaling a bid for greater leadership within the Kuomintang (KMT) party. This move underscores the complex dynamics within Taiwan's political landscape, as Li-wun's ambitions could reshape the party's direction and its relationship with both the U.S. and mainland China.
