As Chinese military forces have been conducting massive drills around the island of Taiwan in response to the serious provocations made by the US on the Taiwan question in recent days, Chinese diplomats around the globe are also make great efforts to introduce the historical context and the merit of the Taiwan question to reinforce the one-China principle as an international consensus. This is to let the world understand how the tensions emerged and why the US is one who provoked first, and to let the world be prepared to understand the national reunification of China which will be realized one day in the near future.
US Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi’s quick stopover in Taipei has raised Chinese hackles, buoyed Taiwanese spirits, and put a spotlight on more questions than there are – yet – answers.
Tensions are rising rapidly as China retaliates against Nancy Pelosi's visit. The White House summoned China's ambassador to protest what it called China's "irresponsible" actions since the visit.
