Taiwan President Tsai Ing\u002Dwen plans to meet current House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the United States in coming weeks, two sources told Reuters.
Although it hopes this does not happen, Taiwan’s military is prepared to fight, he added.
Taiwan’s government has not announced a Tsai visit to the United States, which previously she has made as stop-overs on the way to countries which maintain formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan in Latin America and the Caribbean. In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said it was “absurd” for U.S. officials to say that Taiwan is not an internal affair of China’s.
“No one should ever underestimate the firm resolve strong will and great capability of the Chinese government and people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”Article content
