TIL Desk/World/Tokyo/ US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in Japan: “Our friendship with Taiwan is a strong one, it is bipartisan and the House and the Senate’s overwhelming support for peace and status quo in Taiwan. “They may try to keep Taiwan from visiting or participating in other places but they’ll not isolate Taiwan by preventing us to travel there…
“We will not allow them to isolate Taiwan. They’re not doing our travel schedule, the Chinese Govt is not doing that. “Our representation here isn’t about changing status quo here in Asia, of Taiwan. It’s about Taiwan Relations Act, US-China policy, all pieces of legislation & agreements that established our relationship-have peace in Taiwan Straits & have status quo prevail.”
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Friday that China’s military exercises aimed at Taiwan represent a ‘grave problem’ that threatens regional peace and security after five ballistic missiles launched as part of the drills landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone. Kishida, speaking after breakfast with US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her congressional delegation, said the missile launches need to be ‘stopped immediately’.
“Our President has his communication with the Chinese President. We’re two big countries and have to have communication among us. If we don’t speak out for human rights in China because of commercial interests, we lose all moral authority to speak about human rights anywhere in world,” Pelosi added.
