This follows E.U leaders also announcing visits to Taiwan.
It will be an interesting development if these visits become a regular occurrence. This appears to be the method being employed by Western nations in acknowledgement of how important Taiwan is to world trade.

A group of five U.S. lawmakers landed in Taiwan on Sunday in another high-level visit that comes just days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi enraged China with a trip to the self-governed island.
Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass, is leading the unannounced delegation. The group of lawmakers will meet with Taiwanese officials throughout Sunday. China has condemned such visits in the past, but has yet to release a statement regarding Markey's group.
Other members of the delegation include Democratic Reps. John Garamendi of California; Alan Lowenthal of California; Don Beyer of Virginia, and Republican Rep. Amata Radewagen of American Samoa.
