(The Guardian) Pelosi says US will not allow China to isolate Taiwan
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said China will not isolate Taiwan by preventing US officials from travelling there.
Pelosi, who is currently visiting officials in Tokyo, said the US will “not allow” China to isolate Taiwan, after her visit infuriated Beijing. -- They may try to keep Taiwan from visiting or participating in other places, but they will not isolate Taiwan by preventing us to travel there.”
Pelosi and five other members of Congress arrived in Tokyo late Thursday after visiting Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea. In Taipei on Wednesday, Pelosi said the American commitment to democracy in Taiwan and elsewhere “remains ironclad.”
China is 'not doing our travel schedule' Pelosi says
Here is a little more on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comments as she concludes the congressional delegation visit to the Indo-Pacific region, with her last stop in Tokyo. -- We have said from the start that our representation here is not about changing the status quo here in Asia, or changing the status quo in Taiwan.
Pelosi said her goal was to ensure there was peace in the Taiwan Straits and that the status quo would prevail. -- The Chinese made their strikes probably using our visit as an excuse,” she added.
The Chinese have tried to isolate Taiwan .... they may try to keep Taiwan from visiting or participating in other places but they will not isolate Taiwan by preventing us to travel there. We will not allow them to isolate Taiwan. They are not doing our travel schedule ... Our friendship with Taiwan in a strong one.”
