 Outside Africa, China's foreign ministry said on Monday, June 7th, it had lodged solemn representations with the United States. After three U.S. senators visited, Chinese claimed Taiwan on Sunday, June 6th. Three U.S. senators arrived at Taiwan's Songshan airport on Sunday, where they met President Tai Ing-wen and several other officials. During the three-hour visit, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth announced that the U.S. plans to donate 750,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses to Taiwan as part of the country's plan to share slots globally. The United States, like most countries, has no-for-more diplomatic ties with the island that is claimed by China.
