US House Speaker Pelosi, who is visiting Asia, is expected to visit Taiwan on the evening of the 2nd, multiple media reported.
It is also reported that he will meet with President Tsai Ing-wen, and the Chinese authorities are strongly discouraging him, saying that "the military will never stand still."
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is leading a delegation to visit Asia, met with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Singapore, her first visit, on the 1st.
In a statement issued on July 31, Pelosi said he would visit Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan.
There was no mention of Taiwan, but on the evening of the 1st, multiple Taiwanese media reported that Chairman Pelosi is expected to visit the site tonight.
Of these, the electronic version of the China Times said that it received information from diplomatic sources that Chairman Pelosi will spend one night in Taiwan on the night of the 1st and meet with President Tsai Ing-wen and others on the morning of the 3rd.
Diplomatic sources, however, said it was uncertain whether the plane could reach Taiwan on time due to strong opposition from China.
In addition, the electronic edition of the Free Times reported, citing sources, that Speaker Pelosi plans to stay in Taiwan on the night of the 2nd and visit the Legislative Yuan, which is the legislature, on the 3rd.
On the other hand, CNN in the United States also reported that Pelosi is expected to visit Taiwan, although it did not mention the schedule, citing officials from both the United States and Taiwan.
At a press conference on the 1st, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a strong warning, saying, "If China visits Taiwan, it will certainly take strong countermeasures. The military will never stand by and watch."
