But on Sunday she confirmed that she would be accompanied by a small congressional delegation on visits to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan to \u201cfocus on mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance in the Indo-Pacific region.\u201d Her office said nothing, however, about any plans to visit Taiwan. While it remains unclear exactly how China would react to such a stop, the Chinese military announced that it would conduct drills on Saturday with live ammunition in the waters off southeastern Fujian province, about 80 miles from Taiwan. On Sunday, a spokesman for the Chinese air force said that the country\u2019s fighter jets flew around Taiwan to enhance the ability to defend territorial integrity.
