The official cautioned the U.S. to"refrain from arranging Tsai Ing-wen’s transit visits and even contact with American officials." It also urged Washington to"take concrete actions to fulfill its solemn commitment not to support Taiwan independence." Tsai’s itinerary includes a brief stop in New York on Thursday, March 30, before she heads to Guatemala and Belize for several days. She will return to the U.S. in the middle of the week to stay in Los Angeles, where the meeting with McCarthy is scheduled to take place.BIDEN SAYS CHINA-RUSSIA PARTNERSHIP IS ‘VASTLY EXAGGERATED’ DURING CANADA VISIT
