“I want to emphasize that nothing has changed,” RIA Novosti reports his words.
According to Kirby, the US has no interest in escalating tensions with China over a possible visit by Pelosi.
He noted that the United States expects to resolve all existing differences with the PRC over Taiwan through diplomatic channels.
Earlier, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian warned the United States of serious consequences if Pelosi did visit Taiwan.
Media reported that Pelosi could arrive in Taiwan on August 2.
It was also pointed out that the plane of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives could land in Taiwan under the pretext of a breakdown or refueling.
