which have worked hard to build up facing. i'm president, it challenges china's foreign ministry was quick to condemn the meeting. thank washington. had crossed a line and acted provocatively relation worn for us not to go further down quote, the wrong path. chinese did have his correspondent in the taiwanese capital type. hey, i asked her earlier how important this meeting is for the island? yes she now and this historic meetin is regarded as new milestone for you asked taiwan relations like usually by tying one is the 1st ever taiwanese preston to meet the number free in us politics on you asked soil. and as a mccarthy wrote in a tweet after le meeting, he wrote quote of friendship between america and the people of taiwan has never

been stronger. and you can also see that after the meeting time with thank you, asked congress for standing by tie one, making tie, one, not alone when she said, quote, democracy is under threat. it's worth noting that right before ties trip to central america. and that the transit through the united states under us just called ties with taiwan and switched to beijing, leaving taiwan with only 13 diplomatic allies. and the meeting is not just, you know, crucial in terms of diplomacy. it's also about national security for taiwan. and despite the fact that the united states does not have official ties with, ty want it's bound to, you know, provide at with means to defend itself by law. and later in the news conference, mccarthy said he and all the low makers had this goest, how to speed up weapons deliveries to taiwan. so he seems like to strengthen ties
