Both the speaker and the congresswoman had not said a word about the visit until Tuesday morning.
“Our Congressional delegation’s visit to Taiwan honors America’s wavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s democracy … America’s solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy.”“Congresswoman DelBene arrived in Taiwan with Speaker Pelosi’s congressional delegation to Asia today. Taiwan is an important economic partner to the U.S. and a champion of democracy in the region.
Chinese officials had warned Pelosi not to go to Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory, but the island has been a self-ruling democracy since the late 1940s. On the ground, Speaker Pelosi was greeted by Taiwanese officials and there were crowds gathered outside the Grand Hyatt Taipei waiting to see her motorcade arrive at the hotel.
