Taiwan
Relative calm so far following Taiwan leader's US meeting with China
Following a meeting between Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen and the House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, China's foreign ministry condemned the event as "acts of collusion." Despite this, Taiwan has remained relatively calm in the aftermath of the meeting, with no major escalations reported.
International tensions remain high
The meeting between Tsai Ing-wen and Kevin McCarthy has added to the already tense relationship between Taiwan and China. With China's strong opposition to any recognition of Taiwan as a separate entity, further developments in this situation could potentially lead to increased tensions in the region.
