HONG KONG — China on Wednesday threatened retaliation if House Speaker Kevin McCarthy meets with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen as she transits through the United States next week, saying it would be a “provocation.”
Speaking hours later as she left Taiwan, a self-governing island democracy that Beijing claims as its territory, Tsai said external pressure would not deter her government from engaging with the world.
Tsai’s trip comes as Beijing is buoyed by newly established diplomatic ties with Honduras and a historic visit to China by a former Taiwanese president. The dueling visits underscore Taiwan’s increasingly fragile status as well as the growing tensions between the U.S. and China, which experts told NBC News could lead Beijing to respond to Tsai’s U.S. travel more aggressively than in the past.
