Taiwan President Visits US Soil Despite Beijing Disapproval

Despite disapproval in Beijing, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen landed in Honolulu on Saturday on her way to visit three Pacific island allies - Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands and the Marshall Islands.

China has claimed ownership of Taiwan — known as the Republic of China (ROC) — since 1949 and objects to stops by Taiwanese leaders on US soil, as Beijing views the move as one more step in obtaining formal recognition of ROC independence.
