Even after Nancy Pelosi's visit, China started military exercises and US-China relations became strained.
According to China's official news agency Xinhua, officials have also reacted strongly to this new visit, warning that "American politicians should stop playing with fire in the Taiwan issue."
According to Taiwan's foreign ministry, the five-member delegation is led by Ed Murkey and will meet with President Tsai Ing-wen and attend a banquet hosted by Foreign Minister Joseph Wu.
"As China escalates tensions in the region, the US Congress has sent a high-level delegation to Taiwan to convey a message of friendship and show that it should not be intimidated. Taiwan is a neighboring country of China which is claimed by China while Taiwan declares itself as an independent country.
