Team News Riveting
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Taipei late night amidst strong objection from China that claim Taiwan has been its part.
The US Air Force plane carrying Pelosi and her delegation touched down at Taipei airport at around 10.45 pm. Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu along with officials was present at the airport to receive Pelosi.
She flew from Malaysia as militaries of China, Taiwan and the US went on full alert amid Beijing objecting to her visit, saying that it is violation of its sovereignty as Taiwan belongs to it.
Pelosi was expected to meet Taiwanese President Tsi-Ing-wen, whom China accuses as separatist, on Wednesday and spend the day touring the island including some of the industrial units.
The stop marks the first time in 25 years that a sitting US House speaker is visiting Taiwan.
Meanwhile,
China’s customs administration late on Monday announced bans on more than 100 Taiwanese food brands ahead of a visit by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
Beijing said that the blacklisted exporters — which include tea, honey and seafood producers — failed to renew their export registration and could therefore only sell their products until the end of this month.
