US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become the most senior US politician to visit Taiwan in 25 years, despite China warning that Washington would "pay the price" if she visited the island.

Beijing warned it would respond to any potential visit from Pelosi, who has not been backed by the White House to visit Taiwan.

Taiwan is a self-ruled island, but claimed by China, which sees it as a breakaway province.

    China's threats were proven to be "made in China".😅
  • The US Government is proving a point here. How will the CCP will react is the real question.
  • @sophistic
    As a Taiwanese, thank you! It's a warm gesture to us.
  • As a Californian I’m not a fan of hers but I did pray for her safe return. I’m actually proud she went over there and did that.
  • @cmaurice9133
    I'm surprised she flew on a U.S. Government plane. And not a private one. Bold statement to China.
  • Definition of "China's final warning": a warning in which the threat does not mean anything and should not be perceived as an actual threat
  • @misfit7024
    *China screeching US: must've been the wind. This shows that US will not be intimidated over a 1 day visit.
  • I am searching the BBC NEWS IN ENGLISH LIVE BUT COULD NOT FOUND KINDLY HELP ME
  • Good! I’m not a fan of Pelosi but I’m glad she didn’t back down đŸ’Ș
  • When you trolled someone..... But you get trolled instead... Moral life lesson
  • Unfortunate that they have such an evil neighbour. Even if they successfully repelled an invasion, they can't go anywhere.
  • @Osiriswear
    If the Chinese truly had any problem with this trip they should have made their reservations in private but publicly stating a high ranking US official cannot visit a country is reason for that official to do exactly that so they are not seen as a pushover for China.
  • @trile8
    I’m not a fan of Speaker Pelosi but kudos to the speaker for taking this trip
  • @jbalmarez6641
    They purposely didn't put some lights. This shows you how sensitive the situation is.
  • @timobrien2586
    A strong, secure nation does not get triggered by something like this.
  • This lady has nothing to interfere like that in such a complicated situation! The world already has enough problems without her having to intensify the differences between China and the USA in a trip advised against even by Biden!
  • @Grivian
    This was the biggest middle finger ever given to China. Kudos to Pelosi and the USA
