security adviser Stephen Yates discussed Taiwan-US ties and the emergence of the so-called “naturally independence-leaning” young people in Taiwan during dinner on Saturday night.

The singer-turned-politician on Saturday evening posted a photograph on Facebook showing him, Yates and a friend of Yates eating mutton hot pot and drinking beer. [FULL STORY]
