The tension between the US and China, which has been going on for the last few years, may increase further in the coming days. US Parliament Speaker Nancy Pelosi is due to visit Taiwan next month. Regarding this, the US military has expressed apprehension that Nancy Pelosi’s plane may be attacked by China. To avoid such a situation, the US Army has started preparations. US military ships and aircraft will be on alert in the Indo-Pacific region during Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Tainwa. US officials did not elaborate on this, but did say that they would keep fighter jets, ships, surveillance systems and other military systems on alert.
Additional security arrangements are made for any American leader’s foreign visits. But the case of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is completely different. For the first time since 1997, an elected representative of the United States is visiting Taiwan. China has been irked by this and has warned America of dire consequences. US General Mark Milley said it was too early to say anything about Nancy Pelosi’s visit. But if she goes, then full preparations will be made by the army and necessary security will be given.
Why America and China are fighting over Taiwan
China has been claiming Taiwan as its part of the autonomous region. There have also been threats from his side to annex Taiwan on the strength of the army. At the same time, America has recognized Taiwan independently even after China’s objections. Not only this, diplomatic and military relations have also been maintained with him. The US says that it recognizes Taiwan in the same way as the Chinese government. For some time, China’s tension with America and its allies like Australia, Japan has increased in the Pacific region. In such an era, Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is going to tease the dragon.
Biden will talk to Jinping tomorrow amid tensions
A US official said there would be a need to create a buffer zone around Nancy Pelosi’s plane when she leaves for Taiwan. He said that there is already a presence of US security forces in the Pacific. In such a situation, they will go into action if there is any need. Meanwhile, talks are going to take place between US President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping on Thursday. This will be the first meeting between the heads of the two countries in the last four months. This conversation is important at a time when both the countries are at loggerheads over Taiwan.
