Why it matters
The office aims to leverage Arizona's growing ties with Taiwan to support international business interests. The establishment follows requests from China’s consulate general in Los Angeles urging officials to object to the proposal, which the Chinese government views as political interference.
Trade ties are growing between Arizona and Taiwan, with Phoenix aiming to be a gateway for Taiwanese investment.
