Taiwan's President arrives in New York after sensitive U.S. stopover

Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen arrived in New York on Wednesday after a sensitive U.S. stopover, vowing to not let external pressure stop the island from engaging with the world after China threatened to retaliation if she met U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

China, which claims to have ruled Taiwan as its own territory, has warned U.S. officials not to meet Tsai, who is on her first U.S. stopover since 2019, seeing it as showing support for the island's desire to be seen as a separate country.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, S. House Speaker, visited Taipei. Taiwan's armed forces say they are watching for any Chinese moves when Tsai is abroad.
