Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen meets with senior US officials ahead of talks with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy despite China warning against the meeting
President Tsai Ing-wen meets with senior US security officials to discuss"regional situation" ahead of her meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The meeting on Wednesday outside Los Angeles comes on what is technically a stopover for President Tsai Ing-wen, after her two-country trip in Latin America to visit Taiwan's few remaining official allies. This week it warned McCarthy, a Republican and California native who is second in line to the US presidency, that he was "playing with fire" by meeting Tsai.
The United States formally recognises Beijing and One-China principle, but is an important backer of Taiwan, and maintains strong unofficial ties. The decision to meet in the United States was viewed as a compromise that would underscore support for Taiwan but avoid inflaming tensions with China.
