Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi in Malaysia

MOSCOW, Aug 2 – DEA News. Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi in Malaysia transmits local news agency Bernama.

It was noted that the politician plans to meet with Azhar Azizan Haroun, speaker of the lower house, and Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Last week, Pelosi kicked off her Asia tour, which includes visits to Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore. At the same time, the media began to write massively about the official’s plans to visit Taiwan as well. He did not verify this information, citing security requirements.

On Monday, Taiwan portal ETtoday reported that Pelosi will arrive on the island late in the evening on August 2, spend the night at the Grand Hyatt, and visit the Legislative Yuan on the morning of August 3, meet the leadership, and leave Taiwan. .

Tan Kefei, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense, emphasized that the official’s visit to the island would violate the “one China” principle, harm relations in the military field and lead to a worsening of the situation. According to him, “The Chinese military will not follow this with its hands tied and will take absolutely all measures to stop foreign interference.”

In the relations between Washington and Beijing, the Taiwan issue gained particular importance against the background of the situation in Ukraine. The PRC emphasizes that no analogy is appropriate for historical and political reasons and demands that it not interfere in its internal affairs. Officially upholding the “one China principle” and having no diplomatic relations with Taipei, the United States not only maintains ties with the island but also regularly supplies arms there.
