Nancy Pelosi begins Asia tour, with no mention of Taiwan

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is beginning a tour of Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan, her office says - with no mention of a possible visit to Taiwan.Taiwan is claimed by China - which has warned of "serious consequences" if she goes there.Ms Pelosi, a California Democrat,that the six-person Congressional delegation tour would seek to "reaffirm America's unshakeable commitment to our allies and friends in the region".

Her office said the tour was to the "Indo-Pacific region" - "including" visits to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that must become a part of the country. Beijing has not ruled out the possible use of force to achieve this in the future. Chinese officials have expressed anger over what they view as growing diplomatic engagement between Taipei and Washington. There was a surprise visit to the island by six US lawmakers in April.Ms Pelosi has long been a vocal critic of the Chinese leadership, denouncing its human rights record. She has met pro-democracy dissidents and visited Tiananmen Square to commemorate victims of the 1989 massacre.

Her original plan was to visit Taiwan in April, but she postponed the trip after she tested positive for Covid-19.President Joe Biden has said the US military believes a Pelosi visit to Taiwan is "not a good idea right now".on Sunday said the tour would "focus on mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance in the Indo-Pacific region".

It's odd how she and Biden are Catholic but denounce this by being for abortion

GET THIS OLD SOCIALIST COMMUNIST OUT OF TAIWAN , WHERE SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WHICH IS CHINESE TERRITORY!!!!
