White House insists 'nothing has changed' in China policy if SpeakerPelosi visits Taiwan
The White House reiterated Monday that there is no change to its long-standing"One China" policy amid tensions over a visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
Kirby said multiple times during Monday's press briefings that the U.S. opposes any unilateral changes to the status quo and does not support Taiwan's independence. The matter was discussed during last week's phone call between President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Kirby added. If Pelosi travels to Taiwan, she’ll be the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the island since former House Speaker Newt Gingrich made the trip in 1997. It’s not clear when Pelosi will arrive in Taiwan, but the House speaker is expected to stay there overnight, officials told CNN.
