House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday stood by her decision to visit Taiwan last week, answering "it was worth it," despite the actions China has taken since she left the island.

Since Pelosi's controversial trip, China has pulled out of climate talks and has extended threatening military exercises around Taiwan, which have disrupted shipping and air traffic and have raised concerns about the possible conflict in a region vital to global trade.

Taiwan warned Tuesday that Chinese military drills are not just a rehearsal for invasion of the self-governing island, but also reflect ambitions to control large swaths of the western Pacific, as Taipei conducted its own exercises to underscore it's ready to defend itself.

  1. The world needs a country like the Chinese. ❤
    Chinese people have a lot more to show to the world.
    China made business countries all around the world with respect and helping small countries to grow equally together for the benefit of their people.
    The USA and others countries need to stop selling arms for business, and that only causes conflicts all around the world.
    All countries need to come together to make a better world. No more arms and war business
    All countries have so many good things to show to other countries.
    All new generations want to learn good things from others countries, like culture, history, products and other things, with respect and love for each other..

  4. 1st you were late you got a warning, 2nd you were late you another warning, 3nd when you were 1 hr late you got fired! What is wrong with that????

  5. “SriLanka and Myanmar need your visit and participation, Nancy!” Will you go? One country has bankrupted and both do not have TSMC. Why do media these days not ask these questions that eradicates truth?

  6. How does her Taiwan visit help Americans society? Does it improves Americans income disparity, drugs problems, racial discrimination, guns violence, crumbling infrastructures, corruptions, etc ? No.

  7. Nancy, I don’t agree with your politics…but…I am so proud of you for standing strong with Taiwan! Thank you.
