US urges China against ‘overreacting' to Taiwan president transit

The White House has urged China to avoid 'overreacting' to a planned stopover in the United States by Taiwan’s president, calling the transit 'normal'.

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby stressed on Wednesday that the transit by President Tsai Ing-wen is in line with US policy, which acknowledges China’s claim over the self-ruled island.
