WASHINGTON: The US State Department signalled Wednesday it would let Taiwan’s president Tsai Ing-wen visit California to meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, downplaying the significance of the event in the face of protests by China. McCarthy confirmed Tuesday that he would see Tsai in his home state, sidestepping a potential visit by the top Republican to Taiwan that policymakers there feared could provoke a military response from Beijing.
