Taipei, Aug. 24 (CNA) Opposition Kuomintang (KMT) Vice Chairman Andrew Hsia (夏立言), who is on a multi-city visit to China to meet with Taiwanese who live and work there, will not meet with Liu Jieyi (劉結一), director of China's Taiwan Affairs Office, KMT Chairman Eric Chu (朱立倫) said Wednesday.

Representatives of the US and Taiwan announced at a virtual meeting on Wednesday last week a new trade mechanism, dubbed the “Taiwan-US Initiative on 21st-century Trade,” to bolster bilateral economic ties. Like the IPEF, this initiative is not a trade agreement, so it does not require the approval of the US Congress.
