Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen has officially touched down in New York as Beijing warns Washington of retaliation

Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen has officially touched down in New York.

It comes as China warns of retaliation if the leader meets with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

China’s senior envoy has accused the U.S. of advocating for Taiwan’s independence by allowing Tsai to “make a splash” in their country.

“No matter [whether] it is Taiwan leaders coming to the United States or the US leaders visiting Taiwan, [it] could lead to another serious, serious, serious confrontation in the China-US relationship,” said Xu Xueyuan, China’s Chargé d’Affaires in a press conference.

By allowing Ms Tsai to visit, Washington “seriously undermines China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Ms Xu said.

Washington says Beijing should refrain from overreacting to the trip.

In the Big Apple, the Taiwan president was greeted by competing crowds of protesters and supporters outside her hotel.

President Tsai is due to fly to Guatemala and BE-LEZE this week in an attempt to shore up alliances in Central America, before returning through Los Angeles.

Before departing Taiwan, she said “external pressure will not hinder [the country’s] determination to go to the world.” #trending #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
