SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, carving a careful diplomatic path on her stopovers in the United States, visited the headquarters of micro-messaging service Twitter Inc on Saturday and reactivated an old account.

"Had a great visit to @Twitter HQ today. Thank you to @vijaya and team for showing us around!” read her first tweet from her old account in over two years. Previously she tweeted in Chinese.
