Taiwan authorities tried to revoke Pelosi’s invitation, but she insisted on a ‘historic’ trip – media

The authorities of the Republic of China (Taiwan) tried to withdraw the invitation of the speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to the island due to the escalating situation, but she called the Taiwanese ambassador to the United States and insisted on a trip to do something “historic”.

About it write Taiwanese media.

According to media reports, Pelosi planned to visit Taiwan twice in January and April of this year, and only this time she decided to.

At the same time, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi accused the United States of “deliberate attempts to create an incident in the Taiwan Strait.”

“Individuals in the US are trying to challenge China’s sovereignty over Taiwan, it will not end well,” he said during a working trip to Central Asia.

We will remind, earlier in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China stated that “the United States are moving beyond what is permitted.”

It was also reported that, according to media reports, China intends to squeeze the Pelosi plane out of the sky of Taiwan and carry out warning missile launches.

However, Taiwanese media write that the Pelosi delegation has already booked 48 rooms at the Grand Hyatt in Taipei. According to Taiwan’s Sanli TV channel, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress will arrive at about 21:20 local time (16:20 Kyiv time).

We’re keeping an eye on what’s happening around Taiwan where Pelosi could land as early as tonight in an update.
