Taiwan: Nancy Pelosi meets President Tsai to Beijing's fury

Article Title: Taiwan: Nancy Pelosi meets President Tsai to Beijing's fury

Article Excerpt: "...Ms Pelosi, the most senior US politician in 25 years to visit Taiwan, said her delegation had come to make it "unequivocally clear" that the US would not "abandon" the island. China had earlier said the US would "pay the price" for Ms Pelosi's visit. Taiwan is self-ruled...However, the White House has been opposed the visit, and President Joe Biden had said the military assessed it as "not a good idea". In her meeting with Ms Tsai at the presidential office, Ms Pelosi called Taiwan an "inspiration to all freedom-loving people", saying: "The world faces a choice between democracy and autocracy. America's decision to preserve democracy here in Taiwan remains iron-clad.""
