The US planning on holding trade/economic talks with Taiwan

Info comes via Bloomberg (gated), the news organisation citing unnamed ‘people familiar with the matter’

• Bilateral economic talks to be announced in the coming weeks
  

• US and Taiwan
  are planning to announce negotiations to deepen economic ties
• talks would
  focus on enhancing economic cooperation and supply-chain resiliency,
  falling short of a traditional free-trade agreement
• deal is likely to include areas of trade facilitation,
  supply-chain work and trade in agricultural products

Of course such talks are likely to infuriate China, which claims Taiwan is a part of China and should be subject to Chinese Communist Party rule.
