When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi flew to Taiwan aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, she became the highest-ranking US official to go to the self-governing island in 25 years. China announced military maneuvers in retaliation, although Taiwanese officials welcomed him and he was on his thanks to his hotel.
The rationale for his visit increased tensions between China and the United States: China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and considers visits by foreign government officials as recognition of the island’s sovereignty.
America Supports Taiwan
President Joe Biden has tried to assuage the complaint, insisting there’ll be no change to the long-standing “one China policy” that recognizes Beijing but allows for informal ties and defense ties with Taipei. Pelosi described her high-profile trip as a part of a US commitment to stand up for democracies against autocratic countries and with democratic Taiwan against China.
The speaker framed his trip to Taiwan as a part of a broader mission at a time when “the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy.” He led a congressional delegation to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in the spring, and his latest effort is the culmination of his years of promoting democracy abroad.

“We must stand by Taiwan,”
