U.S. Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi departed Taiwan after a whirlwind trip that raised army tensions over the island to their highest stage in additional than twenty years, an escalation that’s set to persist lengthy after she returns house.
By the point Mrs. Pelosi (D., Calif.) wrapped up a day of conferences with Taiwan’s president, senior lawmakers, executives and human-rights activists and left Taiwan on Wednesday, China’s navy had already maneuvered into position for live-fire drills that can encircle the island starting Thursday.
