Nancy Pelosi, third-in-command after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the US government, on Tuesday became the first US House speaker in 25 years, after Speaker Newt Gingrich made the trip in 1997, to land in Taiwan.
Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Tuesday (2 August) night launched a massive military drills around Taiwan as US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is on a visit to the island nation.
Pelosi's visit actively negates the ‘One China’ policy instituted by American president Richard Nixon in 1972, as a precursor to the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
