Taipei (AFP) – Residents of Taiwan express mixed feelings about this week’s meeting between President Tsai Ing-wen and US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Tsai’s visit to the US sparked an angry response from China, with Beijing vowing a “firm and forceful” response, before deploying a number of warships to waters around Taiwan. “It’s meaningless” says one man in Taipei, “the only thing out of it is a newspaper headline.”
