Tsai-McCarthy meeting will 'further damage' Sino-US relations, says China

Firstpost  

Los Angeles: An upcoming meeting between Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will “further damage” relations between Beijing and Washington, China’s consulate in Los Angeles said Monday. The Wednesday meeting, set to take place in California, will “greatly hurt the national feelings of 1.4 billion Chinese people” and undermine “the political foundation of China-US relations,” a consulate spokesperson said in a statement. McCarthy confirmed Monday that he would meet the Taiwanese President, defying warnings from China that he was “playing with fire.” Tsai plans to stop over in the United States on her return from Central America, where she has met the leaders of Guatemala and Belize. But the Los Angeles consulate said Monday that any meeting would “contribute nothing to regional peace, security and stability”.
