Taiwan's Representative To The U.S. On Recent Developments
(Transcript)
MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
As we track relations between the U.S. and China - relations that are tense and getting tenser - stop for a moment to consider Taiwan. For Taiwan, the situation presents both unprecedented opportunities and plenty of challenges. To tick through just a few of the recent developments, last month saw a visit to Taiwan by the most senior American official since the U.S. severed diplomatic ties with the island back in 1979, so four decades ago. That visit was from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. Then, last week brought another U.S. visit to Taiwan by a top State Department official. Meanwhile, here in Washington, there is growing buzz about the possibility of a U.S.-Taiwan trade deal. Well, all of this is deeply aggravating to China. And all of this is the backdrop to our next conversation with Taiwan's representative to the U.S. Bi-khim Hsiao joins us by Skype from Taiwan's de facto embassy in Washington.

1. What is the subject of "saw"? What is the subject of "brought"?
2. [...] And all of this is the backdrop to our next conversation with Taiwan's representative to the U.S. Bi-khim Hsiao joins us by Skype [...]
For this "joins", I think that it should be "joining" or ", who joins". What do you think?
