TAIPE, 31 July 2022, (TON): The crisis sparked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan misses a key point, experts said ”the real focus should be on how the United States and China manage their differences so the risks of confrontation don’t spiral out of control.”
News of a possible visit by Pelosi has set off intense speculation about China’s potential diplomatic and military responses. But for Taiwan, the visit if it occurs would be merely the latest point of strife in an already tense situation that has shadowed the island democracy for decades.
Arthur Zhin-Sheng Wang said “the main point is not in Pelosi coming to Taiwan, but it’s to look at how the U.S. and China effectively control the risks that may arise.”
Wang said “Thursday’s call between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping was an example of how the two sides can manage their differences through dialogue.”
