Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosihas begun his tour of Asia, his office said, which did not mention Taiwan amid rumors that he might visit the island that Beijing considers part of its territory.
Pelosi’s office explained this Sunday in a statement that the tour Asia includes stops in Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan.
“Today, our congressional delegation travels to the Indo-Pacific region to reaffirm the strong and unwavering commitment of the United States to our allies and friends in the region,” Pelosi said in a note.
Pelosi and her fellow lawmakers will hold high-level meetings in Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan to discuss a wide range of topics, including human rights, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, trade and global security. .
American delegation
Office Nancy Pelosi reported the trip as soon as it had already begun, and after the plane with her made a stop in Hawaii for refueling.
The Democratic leader is traveling with five congressmen, including House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Gregory Meeks.
As speaker of the House of Representatives, Pelosi is second in line to the presidency behind Vice President Kamala Harris, and when she travels abroad she does so under tight security measures, such as using a military aircraft, she explained this week. .
The media has been expecting for weeks that Pelosi will go to Taiwanalthough his office declined to confirm this for security reasons.
Pelosi’s visit will be the first visit to Taiwan by a speaker of the US House of Representatives since Republican Newt Gingrich visited the island in 1997.
Sino-American tension
Chinese government He has made clear that he perceives the trip as a threat, and this week Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian warned that the Asian giant would “respond strongly” and that the US would have to “assume all the consequences” that arise from a possible visit by Pelosi.
In response, the White House has criticized China’s rhetoric, which it considers “unnecessary” and “of little use,” especially after Joe Biden confirmed to his counterpart Xi Jinping this week that Washington’s policy on Taiwan has not changed.
Taiwan is one of the main sources of friction between China and the United States, mainly because Washington is Taiwan’s main arms supplier and would become its biggest military ally in the event of a possible war with China.
China claims sovereignty over the island and considers Taiwan a rebellious province since the Kuomintang nationalists withdrew from there in 1949 after losing a civil war against the Communists. (EFE)
