U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to visit Taiwan in August, arousing tensions between the U.S. and China. China issued a strong warning to the U.S., threatening to respond militarily. At the same time, U.S. President Biden showed weakness. signs. Biden said externally that the U.S. military believes that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is "not a good idea right now", and the White House suggested that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan can be postponed. Obviously, the Biden administration is very concerned about China's response, and it is even caught in a dilemma. The dilemma has attracted considerable attention from the outside world. The change in the attitude of the United States may affect the development of the overall situation in the Taiwan Strait. China warns Pelosi to visit Taiwan, Biden worries about affecting the situation in the Taiwan Strait As early as April of this year, Pelosi had planned to come to Taiwan, but after the news of her diagnosis came out, the Asia trip was canceled.

t that time, it was said that Pelosi's trip was delayed. In other words, four months later, Pelosi will come to Taiwan in August.

This also explains that high-level congressional leaders from many countries have recently visited Taiwan, and even Bill Bill, the vice-president of the European Parliament, has also visited Taiwan a few days ago. However, there are two main reasons why the Biden administration will be so cautious about Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, even in a negative way. arrow_forward_iosunderstand more Powered by GliaStudio First of all, the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is still in an unstable state.
China has always been quite opposed to Taiwan's internationalization. Naturally, it does not want Taiwan to have any official links with other countries, especially the deepening of Taiwan-US relations.
