But there are also issues where we believe that cooperation is not only possible but inevitable, for example, climate change which affects us greatly.
Beijing has warned about Pelosi’s visit.
Beijing is warning that it will take appropriate steps if Pelosi visits Taiwan.
Although Pelosi did not confirm plans to visit Taiwan, Biden told a news conference last week that the US military believes it is not a good idea for Pelosi to travel to Taiwan as planned.
“The military thinks it’s not a good idea right now,” Biden said on Wednesday, quoting a White House press pool.
Speaker Pelosi declined to comment.
US President Joe Biden’s remarks came after the Financial Times reported. Pelosi was said to have planned to visit Taiwan in August. But the journey was postponed after he tested positive for COVID-19.
The speaker declined to comment on whether she was planning to visit Taiwan, citing security protocols on her visit.
But he said Biden’s remarks stemmed from military officials. They fear that our aircraft may be targeted.
Need to show support for Taiwan – Pelosi.
“It is important for us to show support for Taiwan,” Pelosi said. When it comes to Taiwan none of us have ever said that we are with them for freedom.”
But it is for Taiwan to decide. Administration officials have privately stressed to Pelosi that a visit to Taiwan could further complicate a delicate status quo.
Chinese officials believe that Pelosi’s visit will be seen as a change in US policy and will be treated as a provocation.
Spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, “If the United States insists on going its own way, China will resolutely respond and take coercive steps to counter it, and do what we say.”
China has intensified its military activities against Taiwan in recent years and there are fears that it is trying to intimidate Taiwan into accepting Beijing’s demands.
