The US President's National Security adviser, Jake Sullivan, made a statement on the issue of Taiwan. According to an official of the US administration, Washington is ready to do everything in its power to prevent the reunification of Taiwan with China. Sullivan made this statement during a conference of the Washington Economic Club.
Sullivan:
Meanwhile, a delegation of American senators headed by Lindsey Graham arrived in Taipei. Graham himself actually made it clear that this was a demonstrative visit. Earlier in Beijing, it was stated that in the event of the arrival of American congressmen to Taiwan, the PRC would take "tough measures". Nancy Pelosi was going to Taiwan at first, but she was diagnosed with covid. The "fallen flag" was raised by Senator Lindsey Graham with other representatives of the US Congress who arrived on the island today.
Lindsey Graham and Bob Menendez, who heads the U.S. Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, plan to meet with the leadership of Taiwan, including Tsai Ing-wen, who calls herself president. A meeting with Taiwan's Defense minister is also scheduled.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry, commenting on the visit of the American delegation to Taipei, said that the United States "is on a dangerous path." The official representative of the ministry, Zhao Lijiang, noted that China will continue to "defend its sovereignty by all available means."
Earlier, a "Taiwanese representative office" was opened in the United States. This provoked harsh criticism from China, which demanded that the word "Taiwanese" be replaced with "Taipei". The US ignored the demand.
