As Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on Wednesday embarked on a 10-day visit to Central America, which will include transit in the United States, China has warned the Taiwanese President against meeting US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said that the US side keeps conniving to support the separatist forces of Taiwan independence and asked Washington to stop committing “dangerous acts that underline the political foundation of the two countries’ relations.” As she departed on a diplomatic mission to Central America, Tsai Ing-wen said that Taiwan has every right to “connect with the world,” CNN reported.
Ahead of Tsai’s departure, China hit out against the trip pledging on Wednesday to “resolutely fight back” if the Taiwanese President met US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a move Beijing would consider a violation of its sovereignty.
