US wants Taiwan to have freedom in safety, Pelosi says

The United States wants Taiwan to always have freedom in safety and will not back down from that position, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today during her visit to Taipei that has been heavily criticized by China.

While we respect the “One China” policy, our solidarity with Taiwan is more important than ever, Pelosi said during a joint news conference with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. The US supports the status quo and does not want anything violent to happen to Taiwan, Pelosi added.

Asked about the economic fallout Taiwan faces as a result of her visit, Pelosi said the US microcircuit manufacturing law opens the door to better economic exchanges between the United States and Taiwan.

Taiwan is committed to maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Straits, Tsai said, adding that China’s military high schools, announced in response to Pelosi’s visit, are an unhelpful reaction.
