In this photo released by the Taiwan Presidential Office, Taiwan's Vice President William Lai, second right, waves as he is greeted by his supporters upon arrival in New York on earlier Sunday, Aug. 13, 2023. Lai left Taiwan Saturday on a trip to Paraguay to reinforce relations with his government's last diplomatic partner in South America at a time when China is stepping up efforts to isolate the self-ruled island democracy. Lai's trip includes stops in San Francisco and New York City, which Beijing criticized Washington for allowing. (Taiwan Presidential Office via AP)
