China on Wednesday issued direct threats to the United States over Nancy Pelosi's planned visit to Taiwan, which China said would lead to "strong countermeasures."
The reason is that China sees Taiwan as part of its own territory while Taiwan considers itself independent.
Tilde Lewin emphasizes that this is domestic politics in the United States.
- It is important to show support for Taiwan vis-à-vis China, she says in Aktuellt.
Right now, there are some indications that the US security establishment is devoting a lot of energy to China and Taiwan because it believes that a conflict between the countries is possible, Lewin continues.
At the same time, she emphasizes that it is not communicated officially but anonymously to the daily newspapers.
- Defense chief Mark Milley says instead that this is something that we are looking at with the greatest attention, she says.
