No speaker is known to have met with a Taiwanese president on U.S. soil since the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-china-united-states-government-and-politics-d4d09deac1527f34efebef5729cbfa58\">U.S. broke off formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 1979<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to the meeting, Beijing said in a statement issued early morning by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that it would take \u201cresolute and forceful measures to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It urged the U.S. \u201cnot to walk further down a wrong and dangerous road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/taiwan-politics-china-7ca84c323b8ed15253c9cb5c04789805\">China\u2019s military sent 71 planes and seven ships toward Taiwan<\/a> in a 24-hour display of force after expressing anger at Taiwan-related provisions in a U.S. annual defense spending bill. China\u2019s military pressure campaign on Taiwan has intensified in recent years, and the Communist Party has sent planes or ships toward the island on a near-daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as of Thursday afternoon, there was no overt sign of a large-scale military response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will take resolute measures to punish the \u2018Taiwan independence\u2019 separatist forces and their actions, and resolutely safeguard our country\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity,\u201d China\u2019s Taiwan Affairs Office said in a statement Thursday, referring to Tsai and her political party as separatists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese vessels were engaged in a joint patrol and inspection operation in the Taiwan Strait that will last three days, state media said. The Fujian Maritime Safety Administration said its ship, the Haixun 06, would inspect cargo vessels and others in the waters that run between Taiwan and China as part of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan\u2019s Ministry of National Defense said Wednesday evening it had tracked China\u2019s Shandong aircraft carrier passing southeast of Taiwan through the Bashi Strait. On Thursday morning, it tracked three People\u2019s Liberation Army navy vessels and one warplane in the area around the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. congressional visits to Taiwan have stepped up in frequency in the past year, and the American Institute in Taipei, the de facto embassy, announced the arrival of another delegation Thursday. House Foreign Affairs Committee head Michael McCaul of Texas is leading a group of eight other lawmakers on a three-day visit to discuss regional security and trade, AIT said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At their meeting Wednesday, Tsai and McCarthy <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/china-taiwan-united-states-mccarthy-tsai-7f33d0bb7c307bb26da39b39df688b71\">spoke carefully to avoid unnecessarily escalating tensions<\/a> with Beijing. Standing side by side at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, the two acknowledged China\u2019s threats against the island\u2019s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAmerica\u2019s support for the people of Taiwan will remain resolute, unwavering and bipartisan,\u201d McCarthy said at a news conference later. He also said U.S.-Taiwan ties are stronger than at any other point in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tsai said the \u201cunwavering support reassures the people of Taiwan that we are not isolated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tsai said she and McCarthy spoke of the importance of Taiwan\u2019s self-defense, of fostering robust trade and economic ties and supporting the island government\u2019s ability to participate in the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But she also warned, \u201cIt is no secret that today the peace that we have maintained and the democracy which we have worked hard to build are facing unprecedented challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe once again find ourselves in a world where democracy is under threat and the urgency of keeping the beacon of freedom shining cannot be understated,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCaul was less circumspect upon arriving in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy being here I think sends a signal to the Chinese Communist Party that the United States supports Taiwan and that we\u2019re going to harden Taiwan and we want them to think twice about invading Taiwan,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group is to meet with Tsai on Saturday and will talk about weapons delivery to Taiwan, much of which has been delayed, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United States broke off official ties with Taiwan in 1979 and formally established diplomatic relations with the Beijing government. As part of its recognition of China, the U.S. agreed to a \u201cone China\u201d policy under which it acknowledges that Beijing lays claim to Taiwan, but does not endorse China\u2019s claim, and the U.S. remains Taiwan\u2019s key provider of military and defense assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington also has a policy of strategic ambiguity in which it does not explicitly say whether it will come to Taiwan\u2019s aid in the case of a conflict with China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Taiwan, Tsai\u2019s visit did not make a huge splash, though fellow politicians paid close attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ko Wen-je, a former Taipei mayor who is thought to have presidential aspirations, said he welcomed any exchange between Taiwan and international leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTaiwan hopes to have a greater space to operate globally, and the mainland shouldn\u2019t get flustered because of this,\u201d Ko said on Facebook. \u201cIt should show the attitude of a civilized nation and stop its suppression by military force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opposition lawmaker Johnny Chiang of the Nationalist party said Tsai\u2019s meeting with McCarthy was within the limits of the \u201cone China\u201d policy because it showed that while Congress was relatively free to support Taiwan, the White House was more constrained, according to local media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August, then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Taiwan to meet with Tsai. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/taiwan-china-beijing-congress-8857910a1e44cefa70bc4dfd184ef880\">China responded with its largest live-fire drills in decades<\/a>, including firing a missile over the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan and China split in 1949 at the end of a civil war and have no official relations, although they are linked by billions of dollars in trade and investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">___<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Associated Press senior
