House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Tuesday became first high-ranking US official to visit Taipei in 25 years, after which China launched swathe of military exercises in zones around Taiwan.
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi says her visit is intended to support Taiwan’s democracy and does not alter the 'one-China' policy that the US abides by.
The failure at turning the People’s Republic of China into a ‘liberal democracy’ has brought back the long shadow of the Cold War and US’ entrenchment in Asia.

This comes after a week of heightened US-China tensions and Chinese President Xi Jinping's warning to US President Joe Biden to not ‘play with fire’ over Taiwan.
