China previously said that if Pelosi visits,

If Pelosi visits Taiwan,
Xi Jinping will be
criticized by other
people who may not
want him to continue to
be the leader of China, Chen Shin-min,
a political scientist at the
National Taiwan University,
via 'The Guardian'.
In this situation it’s
dangerous for Taiwan …
Xi Jinping may want to
use external activities,
for example [to] attack
Taiwan, [to increase] China’s
nationalistic sentiment.

a political scientist at the
National Taiwan University,
via 'The Guardian'.
But canceling the trip may also pose risks.
.
[That] would lead Taiwan to question the credibility of America’s security commitment.
Right now there is not a war, [but] if mainland China can use its language to influence America’s decision, how can Taiwan trust America’s security commitment?
For Taiwan, this is a very big problem, Chen Shin-min, a political scientist at the
National Taiwan University, via 'The Guardian'.
'The Guardian' reports that Pelosi would be the highest-ranking American government official to visit Taiwan since Newt Gingrich made the trip in 1997.

John Oliver is the latest to mock Nancy Pelosi for her widely ridiculed TikTok pun. On HBO's 'Last Week Tonight,' the host brought up how the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would lead to a ban on TikTok if its China-based owner doesn't sell its stake. The bill passed on concerns that the app poses a national security threat under the ownership of Chinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd.

that it would allow Chinese airlines to increase the
number of direct passenger flights to the United States.

Chinese President Xi Jinping conveyed to former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou on Wednesday that external interference would not impede the "family reunion" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He emphasised that all issues are open for discussion. Since the Republic of China government retreated to Taiwan in 1949 following a civil war loss to Mao Zedong's communists, no sitting Taiwanese leader has visited China. However, Ma, who served as president from 2008 to 2016, broke this pattern last year, marking the first visit by a former Taiwanese leader to China. This visit, Ma's second, occurs amid heightened military tensions in the region.
