Nancy Pelosi would have disobeyed Joe Biden to finalize her trip to Taiwan

The leader of the House of Representatives USA Nancy Pelosi arrived this Tuesday, August 2 at Taiwan Despite serious warnings from China so that the government of Joe Biden respect the principle of “one China”, a request that a few days ago was revalidated by the president.

In this sense, the US official would have disobeyed the US president to finalize her trip to Taiwan with the purpose of “showing support for democracy on the island.” In addition, the Democratic politician, from the same party as Biden, hid his arrival in Taipei in the public itinerary of his trip through the Asia-Pacific region, which includes Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan.

Prior to Pelosi’s arrival in the island nation, Biden had held a conversation of more than two hours with his counterpart Xi Jinping, in which he promised to respect the status quo on the island. “The military don’t think it’s a good idea now,” the 79-year-old president said.

However, minutes after the private plane carrying Pelosi landed at Songshan Airport, the White House said the visit was not “a violation” of China’s sovereignty.

In recent days, China had warned the United States about the “serious consequences” that Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan would bring. Currently, the Asian giant has blocked strategic areas around the island and has announced military drills from August 4 to 7. Meanwhile, Taiwan has prepared bomb shelters in case of an attack.
