China sends warships through waters around Taiwan as it vows a 'resolute response' to the island's leader, Tsai Ing-wen meeting US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Three additional warships were detected in waters separating the self-governing island from mainland China on Thursday while an anti-submarine helicopter had also crossed its air defence identification zone.
China had repeatedly warned both sides the meeting should not take place, and deployed an aircraft carrier through waters near Taiwan hours before the talks went ahead. "It is training but the timing is quite sensitive, and what it is up to we are still studying," Chiu said, adding aircraft had yet to be seen taking off from its deck.
"Their presence and unwavering support reassure the people of Taiwan that we are not isolated and we are not alone," she told reporters at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. McCarthy vowed US arms sales to Taiwan — which infuriate Chinese leadership — would continue, in what he said was a proven strategy to dissuade aggression.
