 WASHINGTON (AP) - Joseph Wu is a diplomat without an embassy.
He cannot fly his flag from the bland office building that serves as his headquarters. His president is banned from visiting Washington, and Wu and his colleagues are barred from the State Department and White House. They meet senior administration officials in restaurants and coffee shops.
Wu does not represent an enemy of the United States. He is the chief diplomat for Taiwan, a vibrant self-governing island that the United States hints it would go to war to protect if nuclear-armed China attacked.
