Editor’s note for February 6, 2023

A note for Access newsletter readers from Jeremy Goldkorn.

My thoughts today:

Taiwan is going to be in the news a lot this year, and our top story today covers the visit of a senior KMT official to Beijing, which will please the Communist Party, and the impending visit of some Swiss lawmakers to Taipei, which will not.

The updated saga of the Chinese spy balloon is our second story today.

Scroll down for summaries of both articles.
