Sen. Blackburn calls Taiwan a "country" during meeting with President Tsai
"Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) referred to Taiwan as a "country" during a meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei on Friday.
Why it matters: Blackburn made her comment in person, but her spokesperson confirmed to Axios she deliberately used the word. It's likely to further anger Beijing, which has warned of consequences for the U.S. if American officials continue to visit the island it sees as a breakaway province.
A screenshot of a tweet by Sen. Marsha Blackburn in which she says she stands with Taiwan and Chinese President Xi Jing Ping "doesn't scare me."
The U.S. government has a long-running policy of "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan — acknowledging that Beijing considers Taipei part of "one China," but opposing any attempts to change its self-governing, democratic status by force.
Worth noting: Blackburn and her delegation are not representing the Biden administration on their trip, which will also take them to Pacific Island countries, including Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea."
