We must stand by Taiwan, which is an island of resilience,\u201d Pelosi wrote. \u201cIn recent years, Beijing has dramatically intensified tensions with Taiwan. The People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) has ramped up patrols of bombers, fighter jets and surveillance aircraft near and even over Taiwan\u2019s air defense zone, leading the U.S. Defense Department to conclude that China\u2019s army is \u2018likely preparing for a contingency to unify Taiwan with the PRC by force.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PRC has also taken the fight into cyberspace, launching scores of attacks on Taiwan government agencies each day. At the same time, Beijing is squeezing Taiwan economically, pressuring global corporations to cut ties with the island, intimidating countries that cooperate with Taiwan, and clamping down on tourism from the PRC,\u201d Pelosi added. \u201cIn the face of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s (CCP) accelerating aggression, our congressional delegation\u2019s visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that America stands with Taiwan, our democratic partner, as it defends itself and its freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communist China will launch military operations encircling Taiwan in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) landing Tuesday on the island.
