The American Institute in Taiwan's new building, located on a leafy hillside in the Taipei suburb of Neihu, will be opened by its director Kin Moy, who, in the absence of official ties between the U.S. and Taiwan, is the de facto American ambassador to the self-governing island. Moy will then step down next week with no successor named to replace him, adding to the 47 other U.S. diplomatic missions around the world that currently dont have ambassadors.
