A Wake-Up Call. Pelosis Visit to Taiwan Has Badly Damaged U.S.-China Relations, But Not Irreversibly #WorldNEWS
U. S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosis visit to Taiwan this week only lasted 24 hours, but the trip will pose long-term challenges for the already tense relationship between Beijing and Washington and pose significant problems for Taipei, which looks set to suffer the worst of Beijings ire.
Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan has plunged U. S. -China relations to a new low, says Yu Jie, a senior research fellow on China at the Chatham House think tank in London. The reservoir of trust forged between the two sides over the last 40 years appears to be almost exhausted.

The Chinese leadership has indicated as much. The topic of Taiwan dominated a call between U. S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in late July, in which Xi warned Biden against “playing with fire” over the island, which China regards as a renegade province. On Tuesday, Chinas foreign ministry said Pelosis stopover will have “a severe impact on the political foundation of China-U. S. relations.

Biden has attempted to distance himself from the visit. He earlier revealed that the Pentagon thought the trip by Pelosi—a long-time critic of the Chinese government—was not a good idea. The White House has also underscored that U. S. policy has not changed and that Washington strongly opposes unilateral efforts to change the status quo or undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. ”
That could help mitigate the damage. While Congress has a foreign policy role, it is the executive branch that runs U. S. foreign relations, says Zhang Baohui, a professor of political science at Hong Kongs Lingnan University. I think the Chinese [government] understands this and that should also limit the impact of Pelosi’s visit on the broader U. S. -China relations.

That doesnt mean that it will be smooth sailing. Former U. S. President Donald Trump labelled China a strategic “competitor” in his first national security strategy, and an acrimonious trade war propelled the relationship to a decades-low nadir. Relations under the Biden administration havent warmed much.
The trajectory of this relationship has been set already, says Zhang. U. S. -China strategic rivalry has been in the making for quite a few years.
