Beijing repeatedly warned of dire consequences should US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan go ahead. Within minutes of her arrival in Taipei, Beijing said it would begin 'a series of joint military operations around the island.'
During a historic trip to Taiwan Wednesday, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her visit was intended to make it"unequivocally clear" that the United States would"not abandon" the democratically governed island.
China responded to Pelosi's trip launching military exercises, which China's Ministry of Defense said began on Wednesday with drills in both the seas and airspace surrounding Taiwan.
