Chinese leaders called Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit “a serious violation” of the one-China principle that maintains Taiwan is part of China.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi highlighted strong support for Taiwan as she wrapped her visit Wednesday, while China announced it would conduct live-fire military drills in response to her controversial trip to the self-governed island.
Pelosi, who met with Taiwan's top leaders then departed, addressed threats from Beijing, saying she hopes it’s clear that while China has prevented Taiwan from attending certain international meetings, "that they understand they will not stand in the way of people coming to Taiwan as a show of friendship and of support.”
“Our congressional delegation’s visit should be seen as a strong statement that America stands with Taiwan," Pelosi said in a statement Wednesday. "We came to Taiwan to listen to, learn from and show our support for the people of Taiwan, who have built a thriving democracy that stands as one of the freest and most open in the world."

We condemn the inside trading criminal too.
@Veronica Landeros she endangered us all to check on her investments.
@Bruce Price that’s the best you got? No wonder Trump lost. 😂
@Bruce Price I don’t think so, like seriously, she has a different perspective every other people.
@Bruce Price what are your own perspective about the Chinese leader with Nancy Pelosi?
Actually you got a point 👉
World leaders should be required to retire after a certain age.
Logan’s Run?
@Lulee It`s all the booze, ice cream, and adrenochrome!
Most leaders are only 2yrs old. Temper temper lol
But that would disqualify Trump as well. Many people won’t have that.
But yes; retirement at 65 or so, in order for new generation of leaders to gain experience.
The United States fed a red snake with milk and now it wants to bite her. There you go, Nixon.
@22uces Patriot Warrior obviously he wasn’t working alone, corpos we’re almost definitely telling him to send our industry to the PRC. But he was the one who could do it, not the corpos. He did what he was told, and he is still responsible for it. Just because they are orders doesn’t mean you have to do them
@Razor ramon El jefe its a really big cultural difference between how China/Mexico views their workforce as to how the united states views it. its a 10 hour conversation, that can not be compressed to some youtube video comments that easily.
@snipman 80 indeed. And even if he wasn’t, a stop to it could have been done. Trump tried, oh well…
Chinese leaders “have a beer with” Nancy Pelosi for historic Taiwan visit
Keep her over there,we ain’t missing her
Spot light on Nancy not Paul in his stacked court DUI Case, Nancy show them ur donor card
That’s just great !! What’s the real story why it so important to the rich ?
Cause she and her friends stand to gain financially securing semiconductor business for all the companies she’s invested in which ALL rely on semiconductors of which Taiwan is the largest global producer.
YES….I KNOW…IM JUST YELL’N AND BEING DRAMATIC…AND MAKING A SCENE…ITS COST THE TAX PAYER 90 MILLION FOR HER LITTLE TRIP !!
“thats an applause line” i physically cringed in my seat. nothin worse than applause begging
they probably do not speak English and need prompting
So now The Democrats know what a woman is? I’m confused!lol😂😂😂
So all she is doing is avoiding questions about her husbands insider trading and we the tax payers are footing the bill for this bogus trip.
she has to make sure it will profitable. that’s why she’s there, to make sure they produce quality computer parts and maybe to pick up an extra piece of luggage that happens to stuffed with cash….
I thought she was there on a business trip; at the tax payers expense. I’m feeling the diplomatic crap is fake news and lies.
Oh no they condemned us what ever shall we do 😭😭😭.
Anyways *flys back undisturbed to the United States
You know, making threats and posturing means nothing if everyone knows you aren’t going to follow through on any of it.
I would feel terrified if I lived in Taiwan now.
The only thing she’s done that I actually like
Everybody’s just watching on the edge of their seats waiting for China to make the move if they do we will suffer as well because in war there are no winners but only losers and the cost of life will be great but at the end the politics will not care everybody remember when we pulled out of Afghanistan .
How come her hands aren’t flying around like they do when she speaks to the American people!?
China should really take care of their banking situation before they can even think of threatening another country, especially when they got no teeth in their threats.
Why is China so angry?
– Because it cannot steal the prosperous Taiwan?
China’s 🇨🇳 anger is bogus.
– China cannot use her visit as a pretext for military exercises of *illegal blockade* around Taiwan.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, landed in Taiwan on Tuesday (August 2) evening, ignoring Chinese.
