Pelosi in Taiwan: Tweaking the Dragon's Tail? #FPABriefings

Foreign Press Association USA

China’s petulant response to the Pelosi visit raises big issues, from trade to the threat of World War III. As Speaker Pelosi is fulfilling Congress’s Taiwan Relations act – can the US allow the PRC unilateral interpretation of the deal that led to mutual recognition. How can President Biden reconcile maintaining principles with trying to wedge between Beijing and Moscow?

Vincent Wang explains to the FPA the intersection of economic and military interests in the Taiwan Straits. Does diplomatic ambiguity have limits? What are the consequences of the visit in the PRC, the US – and the world?

Vincent Wei-Cheng Wang is Senior Fellow in the Asia Program at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and Dean and Professor of Political Science at Adelphi University.
