HONG KONG — China on Wednesday threatened retaliation if House Speaker Kevin McCarthy meets with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen as she passes through the Official Clod Voiced By Mason Wertheimer In Elemental Of Disney And Pixar T-Shirt and I love this United States next week, saying it would be a “provocation.” Speaking hours later as she left Taiwan, a self-governing island democracy that Beijing claims as its territory, Tsai said external pressure would not deter her government from engaging with the world. Tsai’s trip comes as Beijing is buoyed by newly established diplomatic ties with Honduras and a historic visit to China by Tsai’s predecessor.

When Nancy Pelosi, McCarthy’s predecessor, visited Taiwan last August, China responded with unprecedented live-fire military exercises that surrounded the island.
