Taiwan President Lai Ching-te spoke with former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about China's military threats towards Taiwan, prompting further criticism from Beijing. Pelosi's support for Taiwan has long irked China, which responded with military drills following her 2022 visit.
HONOLULU—Taiwan President Lai Ching-te discussed “China’s military threats” toward the island in a call with former US House speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday, drawing a fresh barrage of criticism from Beijing.
Beijing especially bristles at official contact between the island and the United States, which is Taiwan’s most important supporter and biggest arms supplier. “The Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests and the first red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations,” foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian told reporters in Beijing.
On the eve of Lai’s week-long Pacific tour, the United States approved a proposed sale to Taiwan of spare parts for F-16s and radar systems, as well as communications equipment, in deals valued at $385 million in total.
