Taiwanese people 'listen to Beijing's pressure for 30 to 40 years'

Chen Weixin analyzed that compared with the visit to Taiwan by then-Speaker Newt Gingrich of the House of Representatives 25 years ago, there have been some changes in Sino-US relations.

The People's Liberation Army responded to Pelosi's visit to Taiwan with military exercises, which had a certain impact on Taiwan's aviation lifts and airline safety.

However, he admitted that it is common for Taiwanese civilians to hear that Beijing has put pressure on Taiwan in various ways: "I have listened to it for 30 to 40 years," so the local people may not feel a strong sense of unease now.

Chen Weixin pointed out that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan can help the United States restore its leadership as a "democratic country" and help the United States consolidate its circle of allies in East Asia and the Indo-Pacific.

He pointed out that the Chinese leadership is holding the Beidaihe meeting, and they should pay attention to the Taiwan-related speeches after the meeting and the specific operation of the PLA exercise, as well as how Pelosi summarizes the itinerary of her visit to Taiwan, so as to judge the development of the incident, and believes that the real crisis will be when Pelosi leaves. appeared after Taiwan.
