Head of the American delegation, speaker of the lower house of the US Congress Nancy Pelosi stated that her visit to Taipei is evidence of the United States’ support for Taiwanese democracy.
“America’s solidarity with the people of Taiwan is more important than ever today as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy”the politician wrote on Twitter.
Pelosi reminded her that her visit does not contradict US foreign policy, the one-China policy, and the 1979 US-China communiqué. Congressional delegations have already visited Taiwan before her, Pelosi recalled.
Our visit is one of several Congressional delegations to Taiwan – and it in no way contradicts longstanding United States policy, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, US-China Joint Communiques and the Six Assurances.
