US-Taiwan Meeting Sparks Beijing's Warning and Rival Protests.
TL;DR Summary
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is set to meet with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, marking the first known visit between a House speaker and a Taiwan president on American territory since the US broke off formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. The meeting is expected to include Republican and Democratic lawmakers and is designed to boost support for the island government, but has already drawn blowback from China. McCarthy's cautious foreign policy approach makes sense politically for the new leader as he tries to steer a Republican party that has become more isolationist.
