US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the highest-ranking American official to visit Taiwan in 25 years.
Pelosi traveled to the island in the face of warnings from both the Biden administration and China, which reacted strongly after the House speaker’s congressional delegation touched down in Taipei.
China’s Foreign Ministry charged that Pelosi’s visit “has a severe impact on the political foundation of China-US relations, and seriously infringes upon China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Pelosi said in a statement that her visit to Taiwan “honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant democracy.” #CNN #News
