Tsai Ing-Wen And Kevin McCarthy Jointly Warn Of Threat To Democracy: The Taiwanese President And The House Speaker Unite In Solidary

Tsai Ing-Wen

Tsai Ing-wen and Kevin McCarthy should shoulder-to-shoulder to declare that the peace and democracy cherished by both nations remained under unprecedented threat. The Taiwanese President articulated her nation’s gratitude for the meeting with the American House Speaker and said that it proved that the island wasn’t isolated internationally. But the Chinese have threatened retaliation.

Tsai Ing-wen was warmly received in California by the seniormost Republican. She said that she received equal warmth from both major political parties in the US. She said that she and her nation were reassured by the unwavering support as she interacted with the press at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

McCarthy Vows To Back Arms Sale To Tsai Ing-Wen’s Government

Tsai Ing-wen is on a stopover visit following a visit to South America to meet some of the nation’s dwindling base of allies.

Despite remaining a separate nation for over 7 decades, Taiwan is still viewed by China as a part of the superpower nation’s territory. They have time and again vowed to regain control over it, if necessary, by force.

Beijing takes umbrage to any contact that Taiwan maintains with other nations. They insist that the world consider the two nations as one. It reacted strongly to the meeting between Tsai Ing-wen and McCarthy.

Within hours of the Simi Valley meeting, it stated that it viewed the meeting between Taiwan and the US as a seriously erroneous act and branded it as a collision.   

McCarthy is 2nd in line for the presidency after Vice President Kamala Harris. He stated that the two nations shared a strong belief in democracy and freedom. He said that it defined their relationship which was a profoundly important issue for the democratic world.

He also vowed that the US would continue to support Taiwan and assured Tsai Ing-wen that the US arms sale was still on. He termed it as a proven tactic to deter aggression by the Chinese.
