🇨🇳🇹🇼🇺🇸 There is no doubt that the visit of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress Pelosi to Taiwan will worsen Sino-US relations.
On August 2, in parallel with Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, the People’s Liberation Army of China began military drills in areas encircling Taiwan. Thus, by August 2022, the escalation of tensions between China and the United States peaked.
Despite the desire of the United States to shake up the situation in the Taiwan Strait, creating additional internal problems for China, Biden has not yet managed to achieve a strategic advantage in relations with China. Beijing is clearly aware of all possible risks and is taking the necessary actions to minimise them.
Therefore, one should hardly expect China to allow itself to be drawn into an armed confrontation with Taiwan, writes Yury Kulintsev, Deputy Director of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies (IFES) Russian Academy of Sciences.
