  "summary": "Taiwan's labor minister, Hung Sun-han, is set to make an unprecedented trip to mainland China for an upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) session on human resources development, scheduled to take place in Nanjing, eastern China's Jiangsu Province, from September 21. This visit, which would be the first known visit by a head of a ministry in President Lai Ching-te's administration, comes amid heightened tensions between the two sides. The self-ruled island, which is claimed by mainland China, is one of the 21 APEC member economies and formally became a full member of the regional body in 1991 under the name \"Chinese Taipei.\"",
