Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan on August 2, 2022, has been seen by mainland China as an explicit provocation and a move to embolden the self-ruled island’s independence-leaning government. The US House Speaker’s visit to Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a breakaway province, has plunged the relationship between Beijing and Washington to new depths and triggered the worst crisis the Taiwan Strait has seen in decades. Post reporters Alkira Reinfrank and China specialist Shi Jiangtao discuss the unfolding People’s Liberation Army drills now under way in waters surrounding Taiwan.
