“It would be very dangerous if Pelosi changed his plans to visit Taiwan.”
Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the 31st (local time) criticized President Joe Biden’s stance on Taiwan as sending a bad message to allies, including South Korea and Japan.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview with WABC 77 radio broadcast on the same day, referring to President Biden’s message regarding the possibility of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
Pelosi even pushed for a visit to Taiwan on his way to Asia, including South Korea and Japan, but President Biden gave a negative nuance, saying, “I don’t think the US military is a good idea right now.”
“Chairman Pelosi has said he wants to visit Taiwan, but the Biden administration is saying it may not be a clever idea,” Pompeo said.
China, which claims Taiwan as its territory, strongly opposes Pelosi’s possible visit to Taiwan, and is pouring out harsh remarks such as “We will not stand still” (Ministry of Defense) and “We will fight back resolutely” (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
“Allowing the US to be harassed by Chinese propaganda, even following the US and China leaders had a long phone call, would send a really bad message to our allies in the region, including Australia, South Korea and Japan,” Pompeo said. .
Pelosi, who had planned a visit to Taiwan, said he did not know if he would actually visit Taiwan, and said, “If that plan is changed, it will be a really dangerous thing.”
It is intended to give the impression that it has surrendered to China.
Pompeo, who served as Secretary of State during the Trump administration, said there had never been a threat of shooting down an American plane during the four years of Trump administration, saying China understood at the time that the United States was genuinely determined to protect its people.
“China doesn’t have the same fears (now),” he said. aimed at policy.
