She said Russia’s intrusion of Ukraine had made security over the Taiwan waterway one more focal point of the world’s consideration.
At the question and answer session with three chose outlets, Pelosi said China has held up traffic of Taiwan partaking in specific gatherings, yet wouldn’t disrupt the general flow of dignitaries staying with Taiwan.
