/ world today news/ “China is categorically opposed to a meeting between the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy and the Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen, will closely monitor the development of the situation and resolutely protect the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” spokeswoman Mao Ning said of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at its press conference in Beijing yesterday.
Asked whether China would begin military exercises around Taiwan if Kevin McCarthy meets with Tsai Ing-wen on Wednesday, Mao Ning said the country strongly opposes Tsai Ing-wen’s “transit visit” to the US, as well as her possible meeting with Kevin McCarthy, as this would be a serious violation of the “one China” principle, the commitments in the three Sino-US communiques, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.
