Nobody would be prevented by China from coming to Taiwan -Nancy Pelosi

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday, August 2 2022 said China will not “stand in the way” of people visiting Taiwan. She  was speaking at a joint conference in Taipei with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen

“I just hope that it’s really clear that while China has stood in the way of Taiwan participating and going to certain meetings, that they understand that they will not stand in the way of people coming to Taiwan,”.

Pelosi said the US congressional delegation’s visit to the self-ruled democratic island was a “show of friendship and support,” but also a source of learning and collaboration, after referencing previous trips made by US legislators.

Pelosi reiterated the US’ support for Taiwan, again saying they had come to send an “unequivocal message—America stands with Taiwan.”

“We have to show the world, and that is one of the purposes of our trip, the success of the people of Taiwan,” Pelosi said, pointing to the courage of the Taiwanese people to uphold democracy.

“We want Taiwan to always have freedom with security, and we’re not backing away from that,” Pelosi said.
