0:41Now PlayingHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan on Tuesday, a highly anticipated visit that came amid increasingly harsh warnings of Chinese retaliation and escalating Washington-Beijing tensions.
RELATEDSpeaker Pelosi expected to arrive in Taiwan
Pelosi, wearing a face mask, stepped off the plane around 10:50 p.m. local time and posed for photos with a contingent of Taiwanese officials who greeted her on the tarmac. In a statement, the California Democrat noted her visit was the first official trip to Taiwan by a U.S. House speaker in 25 years.
“Our congressional delegation’s visit to Taiwan honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant democracy," Pelosi said in the statement. "America’s solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy."
China's ministry of foreign affairs issued a statement just minutes after she landed that condemned her visit as “a serious violation” of the one-China principle that maintains Taiwan is part of China.
