Are Taiwan Strait Tensions At Boiling Point as Pelosi Visits Asia?
Will the U.S. House Speaker bow to China's pressure and skip Taiwan on her Asia tour, or will she arrive in Taipei unannounced? News of a Pelosi Taiwan visit leaked before Joe Biden’s call with Xi Jinping. Was it the president’s way of increasing leverage over China? Beijing has ramped up warnings that the U.S. is “playing with fire”, while declining to rule out military action over Taiwan. All eyes are on Pelosi’s delegation as the war of words continues to intensify. In this episode, Albert Chiu, Tunghai University political science professor; John Eastwood, U.S. attorney and Taiwan Chair of Democrats Abroad, the overseas arm of the U.S. Democratic Party; and Wang Dan, leader of the Tiananmen Democracy Movement who has worked extensively with the House Speaker on Chinese human rights issues, discuss Pelosi’s Asia trip and what it means for Taiwan-U.S.-China relations.
