TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan's president, Tsai Ing-wen, is in the United States as part of a multi-day itinerary that will take the leader of the Asian democratic island through Central and North America, a trip that China is closely watching.
"External pressure will not hinder our determination to go to the world. We are calm and confident, will neither yield nor provoke," Tsai told reporters on Tuesday right before departing from Taipei.
