US Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy speaks with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen while arriving for a bipartisan meeting at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, on April 5, 2023. AFPPIX: Taiwan’s president expressed gratitude for a meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday, saying it showed her island was “not isolated” on the international stage -- but Beijing soon after threatened a “resolute” response.
Despite its having been ruled separately for more than 70 years, China views Taiwan as part of its territory and has vowed to one day seize it, by force if necessary. “And what we know through history, the best way to do that is supply the weapons that allow people to deter war,“ he told reporters at the library, north of Los Angeles.
Taipei enjoys bipartisan support in the US Congress, and has grown closer to Washington under Tsai's leadership -- much to China's annoyance. “Today’s meeting between President Tsai of Taiwan and Speaker McCarthy is to be commended for its leadership, its bipartisan participation and its distinguished and historic venue,“ she said.
