The possibility of Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is gaining momentum despite China’s warnings.
CNN reported that the US Speaker of the House of Representatives will probably visit Taiwan.
Despite China’s warnings about Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan, the US House of Representatives Speaker, CNN reported that the trip will probably take place next week.
“Josh Ragin”, the correspondent of the CNN news network, quoted diplomatic sources and wrote that Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan is expected next week. Despite this office, Pelosi said that this trip is possible, although it is not certain yet.
Hours earlier, the Associated Press news agency quoted Pentagon officials and wrote that the military has prepared a special security plan to deal with any “unexpected events” during the trip.
Several Pentagon officials, without naming names, said they are not concerned about the possibility of China attacking the plane carrying Nancy Pelosi, but they are concerned about the possibility of other unwanted incidents that may endanger Pelosi’s life.
Earlier, the South China Morning Post newspaper reported on Thursday (July 28) morning, citing a local analysis group, that the US Navy’s East Asian assault fleet is moving towards Taiwan.
In this situation, the Chinese armed forces also started their naval exercises in the South China Sea on Friday (July 29) near the coast of Guangdong province. After the phone call between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, Beijing warned in a statement on Thursday: “Resolute protection of China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people.” Those who play with fire will burn themselves.”
Tensions between Washington and Beijing over Taiwan have intensified in recent months. China considers Taiwan a part of its mainland and has repeatedly said that it will return the island of 24 million people to its soil.
America has said that in case of such an action, it will equip Taiwan with the necessary equipment to defend itself.
