House Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan on Tuesday, a highly anticipated visit that came amid increasingly harsh warnings of Chinese retaliation and escalating Washington-Beijing tensions.

Pelosi, wearing a face mask, stepped off the plane around 10:50 p.m. local time and posed for photos with a contingent of Taiwanese officials who greeted her on the tarmac. In a statement, the California Democrat noted her visit was the first official trip to Taiwan by a U.S. House speaker in 25 years.
“Our congressional delegation’s visit to Taiwan honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant democracy," Pelosi said in the statement. "America’s solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy."
China's ministry of foreign affairs issued a statement just minutes after she landed that condemned her visit as “a serious violation” of the one-China principle that maintains Taiwan is part of China.

Pelosi should be fired. Once she said she was going over she had to go. What was so important that she’d go to another country while this country is in dire straits… because of her! This woman sickens me.
@pro guide explain why you’re correct then

@## heard of semiconductor chips? 90% of the are made in Taiwan… See the importance of Taiwan now?
We called there bluff
*their
As a congressional leader she is obligated I commend her for stepping up and doing what is right the world is only going to get worse unless we stand together
This is not going to age well… we’re all screwed
if anything happens then it does, I feel like late 2021 watching videos on the annaxation of Crimea, everybody is preparing for the worst. Taiwan is a good cause better than all the middle east operations.
Why provoke China at this moment?
@pro guide Because of green bees and yellow trees.
@pro guide And if you think that US army is no1 player in the world, wake up boy. They never ever were, they newer will be. Not even top 5.

啥币是中共不是中国😂
Nancy Pelosi, el Mundo Libre te apoya 100%. Cuenta con todos nosotros, nuestras oraciones y acciones. Sigue adelante !!!…
Tal vez el gobierno chino se está quedando sin argumentos para respaldar el fracaso de sus políticas sociales en su propio país y su pretensión de liderazgo internacional sin Ética. Por eso recurre a sus políticas de miedo para intentar algún resultado en el plano internacional. Pero se ha manifestado impotente para construir y asegurar la Paz que promueve el Desarrollo Económicamente Sostenible y el Desarrollo Social Ecológicamente Sustentable y a Occidente eso NO lo intimida, por el contrario, más lo motiva.
This is what violation of the 3 Communiqués looks like. Still she hasn’t gained anything. Nor will she as she has no power.
That’s not her that’s her doppelganger
Donald Trump narrowly avoids ww3
A woman with balls.
Who the F does China think they are??
What a brave woman
