Print Reviewers Finance Times During his transit visit to the United States, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen expressed the opinion that Washington and Taipei took measures to prevent provocations against China.
This time, Ing-wen is trying to avoid an escalation similar to the one that accompanied previous House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August 2022, analysts said.
The success of the efforts of the organizers of the meeting has been described as not causing “a momentary strong military response from China”. Overall, the paper’s authors describe Beijing’s reaction to the visit as “measured”, at least for the time being.
At the same time, it was noted that the President’s evasive answers to journalists’ questions about his reaction to China’s visit showed that Ingwen was still afraid of additional retaliatory measures from the PRC.
