Pelosi became the first official visit to Taiwan by a speaker of the House in 25 years. 'Our congressional delegation's visit to Taiwan honors America's unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant Democracy,' Pelosi said in a statement reut.rs/3zpoedK

More than 30 years ago, Nancy Pelosi angered China's government by showing up in Tiananmen Square and unfurling a banner honoring dissidents killed in the 1989 protests. Pelosi's trip to Taiwan capped her decades as a leading U.S. critic of Beijing reut.rs/3cZV3Xf

As Indians, we shouldn't be celebrating this. The US interference in Asian geopolitics is something every Indian should be against due to our Non-Aligned policy.

I`m disappointed with this party, Especially now that the strict restrictions on the Chinese Internet make it impossible for the public to express their true thoughts, they cannot criticize but only praise them.

I think it’s a mistake. Warplanes and ships are ready for attack. She was told not to go. Imports have been pushed back, and cyberattacks are happening.

"She was told not to go." Since when does China get to tell the Speaker of the House what to do?

Brilliant. Dame Nancy's visit to Ukraine didn't change the war dynamic. Or did it? Will this visit dump more Chinese punitive actions on this small nation? Or, even an outright military action? Scratching the back with a firestick...
