Former Examination Yuan Vice President Li Yiyang is set to take over as Taiwan's representative in Japan from Joseph Wu, who is rumored to pass on the baton at the end of this month. The appointment is crucial due to Taiwan's significant international relations, especially with Japan being second only to the United States, amidst ongoing U.S.-China tensions. Li Yiyang's unexpected selection was finalized by President Lai Ching-te, after the initial candidate, Yeh Chu-lan, declined. Li Yiyang's background and experience, including his previous role as vice president of the Examination Yuan, are seen as fitting for the position and are expected to advance Taiwan-Japan relations.
