According to NBC News on Thursday, cited Congressman Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) claimed that Chinese diplomats are trying to pressure lawmakers into preventing Pelosi from going to Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco is reportedly contacting US lawmakers with a similar demand. This after China threatened Pelosi\u2019s visit to Taiwan posed a risk of military conflict in the far east. Meantime, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Biden earlier on Thursday that the US is \u201cplaying with fire\u201d over Taiwan.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI think should Speaker Pelosi proceed with the trip, it would coincide with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People\u2019s Liberation Army in China,\u201d said Mark Cozad, acting associate director of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at the Rand Corp. \u201cWe\u2019re likely, I think, to see an increase and a noticeable increase in Chinese airspace incursions in and around Taiwan in the event that she proceeds with her trip. We may even see something called a median line incursion and that\u2019s a breach of the maritime border that exists in the center of the Taiwan Strait.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They also said that a stepped up US military presence to safeguard Pelosi risked raising tensions. US lawmakers said it is a \u201cmiscalculation\u201d on China\u2019s part to try and pressure them.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chinese?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Chinese<\/a> side has repeatedly made clear to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/US?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#US<\/a> side our serious concern over Speaker Pelosi\u2019s planed visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Taiwan?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Taiwan<\/a> and our firm opposition.
