Although US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi concluded her reckless visit to the island of Taiwan, the aftershock hasn’t stopped. And she has already scuttled China-US relations. More and more voices from within the US and other countries have criticized the 82-year-old woman’s Taiwan trip as “irresponsible,” saying it was for her personal gains. Meanwhile, the Biden administration, instead of offering acceptable explanation of Pelosi’s provocative trip, has kept blaming China for “escalating tensions,” and portraying the US as well as the island of Taiwan as “victims.” Observers said such moves show Washington has no sincerity of averting the current tension between itself and Beijing, and risk pushing the bilateral relation into a deeper abyss.
