There has been an escalation of tension between China, Taiwan and the United States in the wake of a visit to Taiwan by United States house speaker Nancy Pelosi, the first visit of such a rank in close to 30 years.
While the visit validates Taiwan’s democratic claims, it gives China an incentive to increase hostilities and increase tension in the region.
