Meet the Italian-American Who Represented Taiwan's DPP in the U.S.

Italian-American Mike Fonte was a Catholic missionary in Taiwan back in the 1960s where he became proficient in Taiwanese Taigi, related to the Hokkien languages of China and Southeast Asia. This in due course brought him into contact with dissident pro-democracy activists and eventually to him becoming the U.S. representative for Taiwan's now ruling Democratic Progressive Party.
