TAIPEI - A group of six US lawmakers, including chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bob Menendez, landed in Taiwan on Thursday for a previously unannounced visit, in a show of supp

ort to the island in the face of Chinese pressure.

Taiwan has been heartened by the continued US support offered by the Biden administration, which has repeatedly talked of its"rock-solid" commitment to the democratically governed island. That has strained already poor Sino-US relations. The visit not only shows the bipartisan US support for Taiwan, but also the"rock solid" nature of Taiwan-US relations, Presidential Office spokesman Xavier Chang said in a statement.
