“Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) arrived in Taiwan late Tuesday, defying Chinese warnings against visiting the self-ruled island that Beijing claims as its territory and setting the stage for a sharp escalation in tensions between China and the United States,” the Washington Post reports.
CNN: “Pelosi’s stop in Taipei is the first time that a US House speaker has visited Taiwan in 25 years. Her trip comes at a low point in US-China relations and despite warnings from the Biden administration against a stop in Taiwan.”
Meanwhile, Pelosi writes in the Washington Post why she made the visit.
