Chinese government summons US ambassador for reprimand over SpeakerPelosi's Taiwan trip
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng was instructed to demand an “emergency meeting” with Burns to lodge “strong protests” about the speaker’s trip on Tuesday to the island nation of roughly 24 million people who have declared their independence from mainland China, yet who remain well within its sphere of influence.
"[Pelosi's] trip is fully consistent with our one-China policy, which is based on the Taiwan Relations Act, Three Communiques, and Six Assurances. That policy has not changed. Ambassador Burns also reiterated that the United States will not escalate and stands ready to work with China to prevent escalation altogether," the State Department official added."He also pledged the United States's intent to keep lines of communication open.
National Security Council communications coordinator John Kirby reiterated to reporters on Tuesday the administration's stance that Pelosi's trip to Taiwan was comparable to any of the other U.S. lawmakers who have visited the island recently.
