Taiwan President's US Visit Sparks Tensions with China
TL;DR Summary
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen will make stopovers in the United States on her way to and from Central America, but it is unclear whether she will meet with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. China has strongly opposed the stopovers, which could further inflame tensions between China and the United States. Taiwan's government says China has no right to claim the island, and only its 23 million people can decide their future.
