China Begins Military Drills With Warships, Jets Around Taiwan Strait After Tsai's US Visit | China Taiwan News LIVE Taiwan will not be stopped from engaging with the world and will not give in to pressure, President Tsai Ing-wen said on Friday (April 7) as she arrived back from a trip to Central America and United States, where she met U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, reacted with anger to the McCarthy meeting having demanded it not take place, though so far has held off ratcheting up military tensions to show its displeasure. #taiwan #china #englishnewslive #news18live n18oc_world
