Another group of US MP visits to Taiwan, marking the fourth visit from Washington this month, despite China's opposition.
A delegation led by American Senator Marsha Blackburn came to Taiwan today.
Taiwan's foreign affairs agency announced that important guests will come after 23h (22h Hanoi time) at Tung Son airport, but not further detailed and also declined to comment.

The tensions of the two Taiwan straits escalated after US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited the island on August 2-8.
The latest visit marked the third time US MPs came to Taiwan this month.
China today announced that it would organize real bullets off the coast of Fujian province from August 26 to 27, seemingly in response to the visit of the delegation led by Ms. Blackburn.
Taiwan has been a hot issue in the bilateral relations US - China in recent years.
The United States committed to respect the principle of one China, but continued to maintain relations with Taiwan and provide the island of modern weapons.
China simultaneously practiced around Taiwan after Pelosi's visit to show their position to the US, as well as holding images after tough statements, according to experts.
Launching missiles across Taiwan into Japan, Beijing seemed to show a message to Tokyo and Washington in tensions in the strait.
