Ignoring China’s warning, Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress (the lower house of the US Parliament), set foot on Taiwan soil. He assured to stand by Taiwan’s side after the landing of the US Air Force aircraft. This is the highest US official visit to Taiwan in 25 years. And China made its position clear at the beginning of the visit. As Pelosi’s plane entered Taiwan’s airspace, the PLA sent 20 fighter jets into Taiwan’s airspace. Violation of Taiwan’s airspace is nothing new for the Chinese military. However, this step is considered quite significant during the visit of the US high-ranking official.
Earlier, China had warned that if Pelosi set foot in Taiwan, China would launch a ‘military operation’. In this situation, 20 PLA warplanes violated the airspace of Taiwan, so many people are seeing the danger of war. Meanwhile, before Nancy Pelosi left for Taiwan, 13 US warplanes arrived in Taiwan from Japanese air bases. During Pelosi’s visit, the United States had already received glimpses of China’s possible violation of Taiwan’s airspace.
Meanwhile, Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Yu welcomed Pelosi and the US congressional delegation at Taipei’s Songshan Airport. Meanwhile, a video of Pelosi at the airport has surfaced, showing the US delegation walking down a darkened runway with torches. From this, the question arises in the mind of many people, so was the airport darkened in fear of a Chinese attack?
Meanwhile, China issued a warning after Pelosi’s landing in Taiwan. “This kind of move is extremely dangerous, it’s like playing with fire,” Chinak said in a statement. Those who play with fire are burnt to ashes.’ Later, China’s Ministry of Defense tweeted that China would take specific military actions in response to Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. The People’s Liberation Army will take this step to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.
