Therefore, the Chinese leader said in a video message that the American spokesman’s visit was another manifestation of the “imperialists’ uncivilized campaign.”
“We continue to look at the world with wide eyes so as not to miss a provocation from American reactionaries,” he said.
In this regard, the coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, John Kirby, said during the briefing that Joe Biden respects Nancy Pelosi’s decision to go to Taiwan.
At the same time, the representative of Washington stressed that the visit of the speaker does not contradict the “one China” policy of the US.
“The United States does not support Taiwan independence and has recently brought this position to the attention of the PRC at the highest level,” Kirby said.
The US expects Beijing to continue to take action in response to Pelosi’s trip in the long term, he said.
It can be recalled that after the plane with Nancy Pelosi landed in Taipei, the Chinese Foreign Ministry threatened to take “all necessary measures to resolutely defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
