Kevin McCarthy to meet Taiwan president today despite dire warnings from Beijing

Firstpost  

Los Angeles: US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy sits down with Taiwan’s president on Wednesday for a highly symbolic meeting in California that has already prompted outrage and dire warnings from China. The meeting 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. “China is strongly opposed to the US arranging for Tsai Ing-wen to transit through its territory, and is strongly opposed to the meeting between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the third-ranking US official, and Tsai Ing-wen,” Foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters. China’s consulate in Los Angeles said on Monday the meeting in California would “greatly hurt the national feelings of 1.4 billion Chinese people” and undermine “the political foundation of China-US relations.” Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
