Washington. El Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos señaló este miércoles que permitiría a la presidenta de Taiwán, Tsai Ing-wen, visitar California para reunirse con el presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, el republicano Kevin McCarthy, minimizando la importancia de las críticas de China.

Ned Price, portavoz del Departamento de Estado, se refirió al viaje de Tsai como de "tránsito" en vez de "visita", y aclaró que ese tipo de desplazamientos "no es nada nuevo. No es algo que siente un precedente. Es completamente consistente con el statu quo".

China se mostró el martes “seriamente preocupada” por la noticia de la reunión entre Tsai y McCarthy, y había enfatizado que “se opone firmemente” a cualquier contacto oficial entre Estados Unidos y Taiwán.
