McCarthy's Meeting with Taiwan's President Sparks Controversy.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will meet with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in a bipartisan meeting at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, which China has called a "provocation." Taiwan is a self-governing island democracy that China claims as its territory. U.S. officials claim visits and meetings with high-level Taiwanese officials are routine, but experts fear that provocations could make it less likely for the U.S. and China to maintain peace if a crisis brings them closer to war.
