Taiwan's Political Moves Raise Tensions with China

A meeting between Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen and U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during her transit visit through Los Angeles next week could provoke a strong reaction from China, according to Anna Ashton, China director at the Eurasia Group. China has warned that the issue with Taiwan is an internal affair and claims that the self-governed island is part of its territory. The Biden administration has been keen to play down Tsai's latest transit, calling it "unofficial."
