US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Taipei late Tuesday evening as part of her Asia Tour.
This first visit in 25 years aims to clarify the US’ position regarding the China-Taiwan conflict, which is to support the self-governing Island.
China responded to this visit with threats and reacted strongly with a targeted series of military exercises around the island claiming that it is a part of its territory.
As for Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi considered this visit as a “complete farce” adding that “those who play with fire will perish.”
In his earlier Wednesday statement, Chinese Foreign Minister indicated that “The US is violating China’s sovereignty under the presence of democracy.”
Pelosi made it clear in her statement that “the US is not abandoning Taiwan in any way,” it is considered a democratically ruled Island and a leader in governance, in peace, and economic dynamism.
“Now more than ever, America’s solidarity with Taiwan is crucial and that is the message we are bringing here today,” the President of the US house of representatives said after her meeting with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen.
