Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Deputy Secretary-General Yang Yi-shan is rumored to be appointed as the Deputy Representative to the United States, with implications of overseeing current Representative Yu Da-chi amidst a financial scandal. This political appointment, prioritizing loyalty over diplomatic expertise, poses a test for Taiwan-US relations as it may affect the effectiveness and trust in the relationship in the future. Yang Yi-shan, although having a background in political affairs and policy, lacks formal training as a professional diplomat, raising concerns similar to past controversial appointments within the diplomatic system.
