NEW YORK, 10 August 2022, (TON): The US supports the ‘one-China’ policy, the visit to Taiwan was not an attempt to change it, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in an interview with the NBC.
Pelosi stressed that all she wanted was to show China that the United States supported Taiwan. According to her, the American delegation didn’t go to Taiwan to change the ‘one-China’ policy, to which the US was still committed.
Pelosi said “she had gone there to recognize the status quo.”
She added “there was nothing destabilizing about the trip.”
Pelosi visited Taiwan on August 2 to 3. The trip drew sharp criticism from mainland China.
Beijing has repeatedly warned Washington that it would retaliate if the visit by Pelosi, the third most important post in the US government hierarchy, took place.
