(AP) — China is imposing sanctions against the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and other U.S.- and Asian-based organizations in retaliation for the closely watched meeting this week between the U.S. House speaker and Taiwan’s president.
The Reagan library in California was the site of the rare high-level, bipartisan meeting Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy hosted Wednesday for talks with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. U.S.-China relations have sunk to historic lows and tensions between Taiwan and China have risen.
China views any official exchanges between foreign governments and Taiwan as an attempt to raise Taipei’s global status, and thus an infringement on Beijing’s claims of sovereignty over the island.
