China voices protest over Taiwan president's plan to meet US officials

BEIJING, China: China has said that it was "seriously concerned" by the plans of Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen to meet with US officials and has asked Washington for clarification.

The move comes after Reuters reported that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will meet Tsai in the US in the coming weeks, instead of his anticipated but sensitive trip to the democratically governed island claimed by China.
