TAIPEI (Reuters) - China's top official in charge of relations with Taiwan, who was targeted by anti-China protesters who threw paint during his last trip to Taiwan, will visit an outlying Taiwanese island next month, his counterpart in Taipei said on Wednesday.

Zhang Zhijun, director of China's Taiwan Affairs Office, is scheduled to make a three-day visit to Taiwan's Kinmen to discuss issues affecting the island, such as cross-border fishing, sand mining and sea waste, said Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council minister Wang Yu-chi.
