Visit Taiwan, , Officials From
Both Nations Confirm.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is a delicate matter for the government of China, which views the autonomous nation as its territory.
China officials referred to the "egregious political impact" Pelosi's visit to Taiwan would have.
We would like to tell the US once again that China is standing by, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army will never
sit idly by.
, Zhao Lijian, China Foreign Ministry Spokesman,
via CNN.
China will take resolute responses and strong countermeasures to defend
its sovereignty and
territorial integrity, Zhao Lijian, China Foreign Ministry Spokesman,
via CNN.
As for what measures, if she dares to go, then let's wait
and see, Zhao Lijian, China Foreign Ministry Spokesman,
via CNN.
U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken maintained the White House's position that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan
did not involve the executive branch.
Blinken stated that
"we do not know what
Speaker Pelosi intends to do.".
Congress is an independent, coequal branch of government.
The decision is entirely
the Speaker's, Anthony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State,
via CNN.
And so if the speaker does decide to visit and China tries to create some kind of crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on Beijing, Anthony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State,
via CNN.
We are looking for them, in the event she decides to visit, to act responsibly and not to engage in in any escalation going forward, Anthony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State,
via CNN.
Pelosi's visit is not without safety risks, and National Security Council coordinator John Kirby stated the agency's protection intentions.
.
We want to make sure that when she travels overseas, she can do so safely and securely and we're going to make sure of that, John Kirby, National Security Council, via CNN.
This is an important trip for the speaker to be on and we're going to do whatever we can to
support her, John Kirby, National Security Council, via CNN

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.

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.

The recent 7.2 magnitude earthquake shook Taiwan, leaving widespread devastation in its path. Amidst the chaos, one structure stood resilient: Taipei 101, formerly the world's tallest skyscraper.
While countless buildings succumbed to the tremors, Taipei 101's survival can be attributed to its innovative design, featuring a massive steel orb known as a tuned mass damper. This architectural marvel, constructed with a combination of reinforced concrete and steel, enabled the skyscraper to sway with the seismic waves without suffering any damage.

has urged the Biden administration to pause the
approval of more flights to and from China.
According to an open letter, China's
“existing harmful anti-competitive policies”
are affecting U.S. airlines and workers.
The competitive disadvantage
is harmful to the approximately
315,000 workers employed
by U.S. passenger airlines
that serve China, Airlines for America open letter, via CNN.
The letter, addressing Secretary of State Antony Blinken
and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, was
signed by Airlines for America, an industry lobby group.

If the growth of the Chinese aviation
market is allowed to continue unchecked
and without concern for equality of access
in the market, flights will continue to be
relinquished to Chinese carriers at the
expense of U.S. workers and businesses, Airlines for America open letter, via CNN.
CNN reports that the Biden administration said in February
that it would allow Chinese airlines to increase the
number of direct passenger flights to the United States.
At the time, U.S. officials granted Chinese carriers
approval to make 50 weekly round-trip flights,
increased from 35 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to the pandemic,
over 150 weekly
flights were allowed. .
China's Foreign Ministry defended the increased number
of flights, citing a "consensus reached" in November between
Chinese leader Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden.

China Condemns America’s Veto , of Call for Israel-Gaza Ceasefire at UN.
On Feb. 20, the U.S. vetoed an Algerian resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza because it would allegedly "jeopardize" negotiations to end the war, BBC reports. .
13 out of 15 U.N. Security Council members supported Algeria's resolution.
Proceeding with a vote today was wishful and irresponsible, and so while we cannot support
a resolution that would put sensitive
negotiations in jeopardy, we look forward
to engaging on a text that we believe will
address so many of the concerns we all share, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador
to the U.N., via statement.
We just weren’t able to support a resolution
today that was going to put sensitive
negotiations in peril– and that’s what
we believe this resolution would do, John Kirby, National Security Council spokesman, via statement.
Instead, America has proposed a temporary ceasefire to ensure "the safety of and support for the civilians," President Biden said earlier this month.

China has condemned the U.S.' actions, saying the veto sends the "wrong message," BBC reports. .
Zhang Jun, China's U.N. ambassador, called America's claims "totally untenable.".
Given the situation on the ground, the
continued passive avoidance of an immediate
ceasefire is nothing different from giving
a green light to the continued slaughter, Zhang Jun, China's U.N. ambassador, via statement.
The spillover of the conflict is destabilizing
the entire Middle East region, leading
to rising risk of a wider war, Zhang Jun, China's U.N. ambassador, via statement.
Only by extinguishing the flames of war
in Gaza can we prevent the fires of hell
from engulfing the entire region, Zhang Jun, China's U.N. ambassador, via statement.
On Feb. 20, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he was "committed to continuing the war until we achieve all of its goals.".
Over 29,000 people have been killed in Gaza as part of Israel's response to an attack by Hamas that left 1,200 dead on Oct. 7.

Biden Cancels Over $7 Billion in Student Debt , for More Than 277,000 Borrowers.
On April 12, President Joe Biden said that over 277,000 borrowers in more than
40 states will have $7.4 billion in student
loan debt wiped out, 'The Hill' reports. .
To date, the Biden administration has canceled $153 billion in student loan debt. .
From day one of my administration,
I promised to fight to ensure higher
education is a ticket to the middle class,
not a barrier to opportunity. , President Joe Biden, via statement.
I will never stop working to cancel
student debt – no matter how
many times Republican elected
officials try to stop us, President Joe Biden, via statement.
'The Hill' reports that Biden's loan forgiveness has largely been aimed at helping
"public service workers, those on IDR plans," .
people who've been defrauded by educational institutions and those with disabilities. .
Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, issued a statement in response to Biden's actions. .
The administration is tone deaf.
There’s no other way to put it, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
We know that instead of doing its
job the administration focused
time, energy, and resources on
its illegal student loan scheme. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
And that has been frustrating, especially
since it has jeopardized the academic
journey of millions of students, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
But what is absolutely maddening is
that the administration is STILL not
doing its job and instead focusing on
its student loan shenanigans. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, , “We know what Republicans are going to do; we can’t
stop them from that. But it’s also not going to stop the president from acting and taking action, like he is today.”
