This meeting was reported by Punchbowl News.<\/p>\n<p>President Tsai transited through New York on her way to Guatemala and Belize, and she will be doing the same on her way back to Taiwan via California. The term \u201ctransit\u201d is used because the United States and Taiwan have unofficial diplomatic relations, and they follow Washington\u2019s \u201cOne China\u201d policy. This policy maintains a strategic ambiguity when it comes to Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>China considers Taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually come under their control. Taiwan, on the other hand, is a democracy that has its own government, constitution, currency, and military.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department\u2019s deputy spokesperson, Vedant Patel, stated on March 29 that \u201cTransits by high-level Taiwan authorities are not visits. They are private and unofficial, and they are not new. Every Taiwan president has transited the United States. President Tsai has transited the U.S. six times since taking office in 2016. This will be her seventh transit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House clarified that there are no plans for President Joe Biden and President Tsai to meet, and no member of the Biden administration is expected to meet with her publicly.<\/p>\n<p>The CCP has warned of retaliation if McCarthy and President Tsai meet, and they reiterated their strong opposition to interactions between U.S. and Taiwanese officials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The office of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) confirmed on April 3 that he will meet with Taiwan\u2019s president, Tsai Ing-wen, on April 5 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library\u00a0in California.
